About this property
The YOGA YURTA... Very Civilized Glamping at SUNNY MELLOW ECO VILLA!
3 minutes off Exit 175... The Intersection of I-40, Route 66 and The Turquoise Trail (N-14). Nestled on the meadow below the cliffs in Quiet Historic Tijeras Village Canyon. (NOTE: Trailers and Moving Trucks and Combinations Thereof Do NOT Fit Through the Sunny Mellow Eco Villa Gate! Call or Text for Details of Possible Workarounds)
Walk the Villa pathways to the other four Rentals, and along the way see The Vineyard, The Orchard, The Garden, The Redwood Yoga Deck, The Solar Array, The Swing, Ping Pong, Horse shoe Pit. Above the property is Lookout ridge (Now on private property, but you can see where Billy the Kid posted Lookouts for Stagecoach on Route 66, while his gang camped right here on Sunny Mellow Eco Villa).
8 Minutes to Albuquerque. 7 minutes to Cedar Crest, 10 minutes to Edgewood. 50 minutes to Santa Fe.
Views of meadows, mountains and the Enchanting New Mexico sky from the Porch.
Enjoy Breakfast on The Porch! Play a game of horse shoes, Ping Pong... Or Generate Momentum on the Largest Swing you have ever seen. Or develop Your momentum on Yoga and Meditation on the Redwood Yoga Deck. Join in a campfire with the guests at The Chi-Treehouse or Invite guests to the Fire-pit at your own Yoga Yurta!
Take a stroll to Sunny Mellow Vineyard, The Orchard (Have a pear, apple, plum, cherrie, quince, walnut, or an apricot), or the Vegetable Garden where you can pick your dinner.
Take a sauna, ($20.00 per session). Get a Massage at the Sunny Mellow Spa ($120.00/100 minutes or $99.00 for 50 minutes)
Read a book... Take a nap. Enjoy the Unique Feel and Romance of the yurt, The Awesome Modern Outdoor Kitchen, The delicious KING Bed. Watch 4K TV with 150 bps download and 25 upload.
Use the Outdoor Kitchen to cook anything! With both a refrigerator AND a stand alone freezer. You can stock away vegetables and frozen foods for your longer stays.
Take an Outdoor shower in the Glorious, Organic, Natural Bathroom using The Pure Healing Water of our Primera Agua Aquifer... While viewing the coyotes on the mountain! Just 30 seconds from the Yoga Yurta Door.
Sit in the Secluded "Starchamber" by day for a sun tan, or by night for moon glow and infinite star gazing.
Drive to Sandia Peak, Hike, Ski, Mountain Bike (Even out your back door if you do not want to drive.
Albuquerque and The East Mountains has more trails in proximity to a metropolis than an city in the country. Pick sandy, rocky, or meadow, or a forest ascent.
Groove at top notch restaurants in ABQ and some local ones just down the street.

Why they chose this property
The Sunny Mellow Eco Villa Story...
The serendipity of Sunny Mellow began with the name... Our daughter Elliott Marie penned a fantasy story in the 4th grade. In checking it for errors, I noticed the name of her Fictional Fantasy Land was "Sunny Mellow".
We had just purchased the first half of the property when I asked her if we could use her Sunny Mellow Name for our new home. "Sure Daddy" she replied. "It will help keep our home safe and alway happy and fun", she continued. "There are not many places were the Sun rises in the East end a canyon and sets in the West", she said with thought, with her lifted eyebrows! "And she continued, "We need a name that makes everyone smile"! "Oh Daddy". Elliott whispered now... "I Love My Sunny Bedroom at Sunny Mellow"!
Standing in the horse stable on our first day here, I thought, "Don't want horses, what to do with this structure"? I woke the next morning with the answer from a dream... A guesthouse! In 4 months we had remodeled the horse stable using stable wood into a one bedroom fully equipped small home! We used it for guests and as Robbie's art studio until that day when a friend suggested I list it for short term rental.
I laughed and did so. I pressed the button to list it and bing! Rented immediately... And continuously every since.
We purchased the second half of the property and on it built a second and third house for rentals... And The Chi-Treehouse! Being the success and great fun that it became, we finally built The Yoga Yurta as icing on the cake of our Sunny Mellow Eco Villa Empire, LOL! The Garden, Vineyard, Orchard and all the paths the link everything together just came along in time. Solar power is a passion and fun to tinker with. Yoga on the Expansive Redwood Yoga deck is a outright pleasure and Ping Pong under the stars a hoot!
Come join us and our full time tenants in all the fun!
