About this property
Beautiful Rustic Cabin Right on the Pecos River.
This 19th Century mountain cabin which sets right on the Famous Pecos River in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Tererro, NM. The Cabin has been studied, dated, and is one of the three original homesteads on the property. This is a true historic site built by my great grandfather in 1867 & maintained by descendants of the original family for seven generations one of the last three original homesteads on the property. The cabin has a kitchen, and dining area with seating for 6. There is one bathroom and one bedroom with a comfy queen bed along with a cozy sitting area. There is one rollaway twin bed. We are pet friendly. There is a $50 fee for each pet you bring. This is an outdoors enthusiasts dream come true. Start by waking up early and having your coffee on the river patio right at your front door, enjoying the view of humming birds, mule deer and turkey moving through the river banks. Enjoy some of the best fly fishing in the world for Rainbow and German Brown trout without ever needing to go more than just a few feet on your own private section of the river. Later before lunch comb the area for arrowheads, fossils, turquoise and silver. The small now ghost town of Terrero was made famous as a busting mining town in the days of the old west. The original mine sets less than a half mile from the cabin across Hwy 63 from the entrance to property. After cooking some of those fresh cold water trout for lunch take a hike up the canyon in the middle of the Sante Fe National Forrest to see elk, eagle, deer, turkey, chipmunk and other wildlife. If the quiet seclusion is too much don’t worry, the town of Pecos is only about a 25 minute ride through the beautiful river canyon. The old Tererro General Store is closed due to Covid. I’m not sure if or when they will reopen. Here you can enjoy other amenities like horse back riding, guided pack tours, and for the sportsman out there guided elk, deer, longhorn sheep and bear hunts. Be sure to check out the Tererro General Store's Facebook page for activities and other amenities. For a more vibrant experience head to the historic town of Sante Fe which is about a 45 minute ride south where you will experience excellent southwest cuisine inspired by native chilies harvested from the area as well as native southwestern art, and heritage. The town also receives its fair share of entertainers from local bars to large scale concerts. Be sure to hit Jacolopes on Cerillos for great souvenirs and the Native Market at 'Old Towne' for authentic southwest jewelry, and art. After a day in town come back to a quiet evening, start a fire in the pit and enjoy the clearest sky you will ever see. The stars are countless and the evening air is cool, just like the perfect fall night, but in summer. At last you will be rocked to sleep by the sound of the rushing river outside. A true paradise awaits you. For interesting reading on the area be sure to look up “Pioneers of the Upper Most Pecos”, and “Beatty's Cabin”.

About the host
Hosted by Sondra Bennett

Sondra Bennett is the fourth generation heir to the Rivera Ranch. Her children assist her with managing the Ranch just as she did for her mother Ramona Rivera Lawson. Ramona was born in the larger cabin on the property & raised there by her mother, Ignacita & father, Encarnacion Rivera. During that time the ranch was a full-time outfit moving mostly beef, horses, other small livestock. The River Cabin is the last structure built on the 6 acre lot and was originally used for hanging tack and dry storage. The first buildings built were the dugout next to the creek followed by the barn (no longer standing) and finally the larger cabin. The cabins date back to the 1860’s & were carved out of the Pecos Wilderness by Cristino Rivera (Sondra's Great Grandfather) with mostly hand tools, ox, and later a saw mill. Cristino settled the area and is accredited for establishing the town. Sondra has been a part of the Ranch her entire life and has fought to keep it in the family as her mother did before her. Sondra honors the memory of her mother by continuing the legacy and ensuring her grandchildren (6th & seven generations) will enjoy and respect it just as she, as well as those before her. Sondra retired here in 2020 from Cleveland, TN. She loves sharing the beauty, and peacefulness of the ranch with those who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life & cooler temps for sure.
What makes this property unique
It is private & no others can come in here unless they r Cabin Guests here. The river sounds beautiful. It washes all ur troubles down the river. I love watching the wild life & feeding the ducks. U can feed the ducks & fish in the pond. They love bread. I love when the eagles land here in the big trees. It’s just a little piece of heaven that I enjoy sharing with my friends.
