Desert Harbor is such a special place and I am so thankful that Raymond (and his family) are willing to share with people who might need some time and space. The casita was exactly what I wanted for my little personal retreat and and solitude The highlights: The food was so delicious and enriching. The wood fire hot tub soak was amazing and I was gifted with seemingly billions of stars. The property has room for roaming and meditation (including a chapel that had painting-like views). I can't say enough about this special place. read more

This is our second time at Desert Harbor for my wife and I, and our experience there was even better than our first (which was exceptional already!). We stayed at Desert Harbor for 5 days, and had breakfast and dinner served by Raymond (the fabulous owner of Desert Harbor). The food was amazing, although we knew what we were going to get as we were given a menu to pick our meals prior to arriving, the actual food was so much better than what we imagined from the menu! I love that we can pick exactly what we want to eat, as well as accommodating to any dietary restrictions. The portion size was super generous as well! During our stay, we highly enjoyed our interactions with Raymond, he is super polite and thoughtful! We had plenty of privacy during our stay, and highly enjoyed taking our outdoor showers! In our 5 day stay, we did not get bored of things to do, never did we leave the property once to explore ABQ or Santa Fe. This place is truly a restful, rejuvenating retreat! The wood burning hot tub was probably one of the most special moments for us there as we got to be outside in the dark watching the stars. If you are considering a place to getaway, to rekindle your marriage, or a place to just find yourself and refresh, Desert Harbor is definitely the place! After this second experience, my wife and I have decided that we will be making an annual trip out here as our little marriage retreat! read more

My wife and I recently eloped at Desert Harbor and all we can say is that it was an amazing experience! Pros: - Each meal was 100% organic and tailor made to our vegan diets. - The casita/cabin exceeded our expectations and brought a whole new meaning to "cozy" and "charming" - The location and views are astonishing and breath taking. - Professional massage by Sonya was spectacular and the best we both have experienced. - The wood fire hot tub soak was an amazing experience, especially on a clear starry night sky. - Great price, you can tell they aren't doing this for the money. Cons: - none! Raymond and Wesley were very thoughtful and accommodating. They made the whole planning process seamless and painless. My wife and I couldn't have asked for better hosts. We will definitely be back. I would recommend Desert Harbor to anyone looking for a truly magical and enchanting experience. read more

My husband and I stayed at Desert Harbor after eloping for a weekend honeymoon. We wanted a place where we could unwind, enjoy peace and quiet, and check out from the world. Desert Harbor was exactly that! The location is remote and beautiful. The directions to get there were perfect. We were promptly greeted by Raymond upon arrival, who helped us get our luggage and groceries to the casita. Other than that first experience, the only time we saw anyone during our stay was when Raymond brought us breakfast and lunch. Speaking of which, I highly recommend both. Raymond's cooking is phenomenal. For breakfast, we had the French Toast and Pancakes-both delicious. For dinner, we had the Macaroni and Cheese and Barbeque Chicken--absolutely amazing! We were able to select from a generous menu beforehand and were given substantial portion sizes...although it was so good, we could have eaten twice as much! (; We were able to explore the desert landscape surrounding Desert Harbor and highly recommend doing that. Raymond kindly gave us wood to have a bonfire with, something my husband and I love doing when out in the desert. We took many baths in the casita with the window wide open to enjoy the fresh air and bird song! We also had a night under the stars in the hot tub which was a beautiful experience. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone wanting some peace and quiet! read more

Desert Harbor is such a gem and truly one of our favorite getaways (we have road tripped and lived from west coast to east coast, so I don't use "gem" lightly). This was our second time staying at Desert Harbor and I know that we will continue to return regularly! Some of my favs about Desert Harbor: *Raymond's exceptional customer service and hospitality--we were so well taken care of (and you will be too!) *Access to the entire property--truly feels like your own private retreat space in the middle of the stunning desert *Amazing fresh, local, organic breakfasts made & delivered by Raymond each morning *Kitchenette to make your own tea, coffee, or meals in the casita *Light, airy, visually appealing, and super comfortable "harbor" themed casita--Raymond designed and built with his own hands--his craftsmanship & intentionality shows! Lots of natural light in the casita, as well as beautiful lighting to set the mood in the evening. Lots of windows to view the birds, trees, red rocks, and sunsets. *The comfy little reading nook--so wonderful! I love getting curled up in a blanket, resting on the amazing pillows, letting the sun pour in, sipping on my coffee and diving into a good book *Great selection of books to read *Outdoor Japanese soaking tub, heated by a wood burner, and getting to soak underneath the stars and listen to the nocturnal animals *Lots of great hiking trails on & off property, as well as stunning views of the mountains & desert valley *Serene quiet, no highway or neighbor noise, to truly connect with nature, pray, meditate and think with clarity *Outdoor shower! So wonderful to shower outdoors, letting the sun warm your skin, water run down your head, and soak in the natural surroundings--so freeing! Ok, I could truly go on and on. As I mentioned, DH is a gem indeed. We will be making it back regularly, for rest, retreat, rejuvenation...and maybe even our own vow renewals in the future! ;) (Desert Harbor also provides an amazing full-service package for those looking to elope/honeymoon on their property as well. I know that they are offering tremendous value at a really reasonable rate!) read more

My wife and I were so excited about our elopement at Desert Harbor based on the website and interactions with Raymond leading up to it. Simply put, the experience was beyond all of our expectations. It was the best possible decision we could have made in so many ways. A few things: -The location is Breathtaking. Pictures don't do it justice. The Casita is very private with stunning views from all sides. The ceremony site...it's so romantic and intimate and grand at the same time. I highly recommend getting married here if you are at all leaning toward eloping. -The service is top notch. Raymond and his wife are helpful, gracious, welcoming, and beyond thoughtful. Seriously, they think of everything in terms of how to make it the most special, relaxing experience possible. Raymond also has a very calming presence, and he's a renaissance man in his own right. -The outdoor hot tub under the starts is nothing short of magical. Especially if you live in a city normally. -We spent time exploring ABQ and Santa Fe during the day, and while we enjoyed those outings, we wish we had spent more time at Desert Harbor...that's why we'll definitely be back! Our stay at Desert Harbor was easily one of the best experiences of our lives. read more
