After searching for a place to stay in Northern New Mexico, I came across Cliff River Springs. I…read morewas super excited, as the place appeared gorgeous and remote, exactly what we were looking for. Our expectations were not only met, but exceeded many times over. From the friendly and welcoming hosts to the absolutely stunning landscape, this place is totally amazing. The Casita - We were lucky and got an upgrade to Upper Stream. What a gorgeous place. Warm wood floors, a full and well equipped kitchen, a nice gas fireplace, little touches around the place, all really made it feel incredibly cozy and welcoming. We ate out a few times but brought plenty of food to cook breakfast and lunch on site. Our stay lasted four days, so it felt almost like home! The Land - I am an urbanite, so this place was literally nirvana to me. We saw a hawk in action, and heard coyotes. We went on a nice walk, along the dry river bed and up into the hills. I was giddy with the the views and plant life bursting around me. Just be sure to bring a hat! It's bright/warm out there (we were there in early October). I fell in love with the pond! It was an oasis in the dry climate of New Mexico. We spent a lot of time sitting up there, taking in the view. My traveling companion went swimming, too! I can't say enough good things about Cliff River Springs. Those four days will stay with me for many, many moons to come.

My spectacular but I should have booked another month stay at the Cliff River Springs. I spent an…read moreincredible five weeks (04/01/2021 - 05/06/2021) in "Cliff Mid" casita on the Cliff River Springs property. I will start with the gracious manager, Hope, then the property, and finally the casita. My five week stay was phenomenal because of Hope Atterbury. Hope's kindness and attentiveness pierced through me from our first email correspondence to my last day. She responded to my emails quickly (I have a feature phone without vowifi but got good reception around the upper pond, the plaza, and the parking lot). Hope appropriately checked on my wellbeing without being annoying. During my stay I did not have a vehicle (I still don't lol). Hope generously offered and picked up groceries from me whenever she went into town. Without her kindness, I would have been very hungry, but I still would have enjoyed the scenery and my casita. The Cliff River Springs property is vast, varied, and vibrant. After my arrival, Hope showed me around the beautiful property; more importantly, she showed me the map of the property and the guide to the various trails and hikes on the property. During the first two weeks, I had an amazing time exploring the property and trails. Listening, feeling, smelling, and watching nature be reborn was peaceful and soul satisfying. After the weather warmed and I got some courage, I took several rejuvenating swims in the upper pond. Later on I found a distinguished, tremendous tree to share energy, practice yoga, meditate, and observe life near my casita (the tree is near the longest bench and valley overview area). My casita, "Cliff Mid," was quiet, charming, and cozy. "Cliff Mid" contained everything I needed to feel at home. It had great wifi, a full sink, refrigerator, dishes, salt, olive oil, various tea bags, tea kettle, soap, towels, a gas range and oven, a toaster, dining table, full size bed with a thick comforter, sofa, arm chair, bathroom, electric heat baseboards, yoga mat, books, pots and pans, spices, and hot sauce. My favorite part of the casita are the windows. There is one window in the front and three windows in the back of the casita. I love the refreshing air flow with all the windows open. Also being able to watch the birds, especially the humming birds, from the front window and listen to the stream from the back windows is spectacular. One of the best parts of my adventure at Cliff River Springs were the moments I shared with the other guests and staff. I had different neighbors during my stay. Everyone had positive, calm aura; additionally, everyone was friendly. Whether you come by yourself, with a friend, or with a bunch of family, you will enjoy the harmony and nature at Cliff River Springs. You will leave relaxed and happier (maybe a little sad leaving because you want to stay longer). I plan to return to Cliff River Springs to experience its magic during each season. I started in spring next is summer.

Upon arrival, guests can unwind in various rustic accommodations, including treehouse cabins, glamping yurts, and tree tents, with select cabins featuring electric power or a private kitchen. For those who prefer a space with a the private fenced in yard, you may want to check out the Zen House that offers its own bathroom and kitchen. Visitors can also bring their own tents, campers, or trailers. The campsite boasts modern bathrooms and clean portable potties for the more secluded areas, along with a well-appointed communal kitchen. Clean showers with comfortably hot water and amenities like hairdryers in the women's bathroom add to the camp's appeal. The community kitchen fosters socializing among campers if you are prone to enjoying that. Close walking proximity to hiking trails and within 20 minutes to many Santa Fe's attractions ensures a balance of relaxation and exploration. We also enjoyed the activities offered by The Wilderness Institute. They offer Star Talks, Archery, Tomahawk throwing, climbing, yoga, QiGong, tree climbing and more. The hosts, Ciana and Brad, demonstrate exceptional hospitality, knowledge, and communication skills, making this enchanting rustic getaway a must-return destination!

Review based only on summer lodging, not winter/ski season…read more We stayed at Sipapu during the summer and unfortunately, the experience was a bit underwhelming. We booked one of the cabin duplexes, which turned out to be extremely outdated. The space had a very old, dingy smell, and there were several cleanliness issues--some areas were noticeably dirty and there were no tissues provided. The heater didn't work, which made the colder summer nights uncomfortable, and to make matters worse, one of the bathroom windows wouldn't fully close. It definitely has rustic charm and potential, but the accommodations could really use some updates and better upkeep. For what we paid, it was definitely not worth the price. With a few improvements, it could be a much more enjoyable stay.

After about 20-30 minutes of waiting, they finally came to the conclusion it did not work. After we had told that already. Their solution to the problem was to purchase another one, full price. We were not given another for free, and they did not allow us to place our belongings anywhere, for safe keeping, in a backroom or side area. So our only choices were to leave our stuff in the car or purchase another locker. Aside from this the conditions were terrible, though that could be placed on the weather. With not many trails open, and riding got pretty repetitive very quickly.

It is one of our favorites now, and we can't wait to go back. The new manager's of the property Christopher and Jessica are fabulous hosts. From the moment we stepped through the wooden entrance doors, we felt a calm and peace fall over us. We stayed in the Abiquiu Lake Suite and it was amazing. Jessica greeted us and showed us around the property and our suite and we settled in. The Hacienda is tucked on a hill, down several dirt roads and through an entrance gate, you may begin to wonder if you are on the right path, just follow their instructions and you will be fine. The property is beautiful with stunning views. With just 3 rooms, you will feel like you have the place to yourself. The breakfast room/great room with a fireplace is a wonderful gathering spot with games. Step out on the patio or walk down the short path to the jacuzzi, it is beautiful. Now to our room. The king bed was so comfortable, the two indoor chairs at the foot of the bed are comfy and easy to sit and read. But even better, step out onto your private patio with chaise lounges and soak in the views of the lake and landscape. All 3 rooms have their own private patio's, you can't go wrong with any of them. The bathroom was huge with double sinks and the shower huge. We were extremely comfortable. The breakfasts at the inn are scrumptious. Our first breakfast started with vanilla yogurt and chia seeds, topped with honey, fresh fruit and mint. Then Jessica brought out Avocado toast with pine nuts and a soft egg. By now I am happily full. But wait, Jessica and Christopher bring out the main breakfast walnut bread French toast with syrup and almond whipped cream, with potato hash. Mr. B had ham also, with me being primarily vegetarian I had roasted fresh figs with goat cheese. We did have dinner one night during our stay and again it was delicious. Each afternoon, there is a snack for the guests in the great room too. There is a guest utility type room with a refrigerator, so if you have drinks or juices you want to keep cold, you can store them in the fridge. Our stay was truly memorable, it couldn't have been any better and exceeded our expectations. We will absolutely go back just to relax for a few days.

The three course breakfasts they serve are out of this world and we looked forward to them each day. We feel like we gained friends in Carolyn and Tom and have recommended it to our friends and family. We can't wait to go back!

Owner Nancy was so nice and obviously proud of the place when I called to make my reservation. There are four casistas, each with a full bath, seating area and full kitchen stocked with usable utensils and even a washer and dryer. Tile floors, nice adobe decor, a fireplace and a sweet little patio out back complete the comfortable large studio apartment feel. It was also private, in a lovely area and within walking distance of Taos Plaza. I needed some downtime, a quiet place to read or just be and maybe get a little writing done. It was perfect for all of those. This place is not a motel, but rather a vacation rental. So remember to play fair and clean up after yourself. Such a good deal -- you'll want to go back. I do.

Also a screen on door would be nice to enjoy the fresh air. A very disoriented prairie dog "coming out of hibernation" entered my Casita through the unscreened open door; It was reluctant to leave and had to be pushed out after a 30 minutes visit! ;) Nevertheless, I'd definite stay again! Great place to launch day trips by car to explore the surrounding areas or just spend time leisurely walking to nearby Taos Plaza and parks.
