Good size living room. There is one T.V. in the living room upstairs.
The Glorieta Mesa runs directly in front of the windows of the log home. The mesa changes in color as the day progresses and the weather changes. Should you be lucky enough to have a thunderstorm, there is a light show you will always remember. The sunsets and night skies are magnificent. I believe it is one of the most beautiful views in New Mexico.

There is also patio seating on the deck. In June and in Fall , the wind gusts are 50 or 60. Furniture blows around and can hit windows. So, they are to be pulled to protected side of deck. A gas grille is available for fun outdoor dinners. There is wildlife to be seen. Deer, wild turkeys and a few larger species of wildlife may be seen. The larger wildlife is seldom seen but there are some. (Large coyotes, bears, bobcats, mountain lions, some say wolves) . There is a full service kitchen in both the apartment if rented for over flow and also the main upper log home. The apartment is my own private quarters and is seldom rented. The main rental ares is 2300 square feet and has its own entrance. Insulated heavily it allows for complete privacy. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods in Santa Fe offer great supply shopping or the Clines Corners (Eldorado) Exit and up the road to the left has a very large and nice shopping area with a coffee bean store, etc. The drinking water is pure and has a wonderful taste. Beds are very comfortable. The log home has a warm, inviting feel. There is a gate at the entrance which can be locked. Pictures do not do the home justice. Very nicely decorated. Teal large Egyptian wool rug in Master bedroom and very nice huge rug in living room area. This log home is very cozy. This home is at 8200 feet in elevation and does not require air conditioning. Breezes are very good the majority of the time. Of course, there is central heat. This is a big place. And the price is fair. It is in a forest and a wide, well taken care of dirt road leads to the home. Those inquiring need to understand that this is not just one motel room. La Quinta rents one small room for $129.00 per night. The owner must pay for cleaning and amenities therefore the price is more than fair. In the Fall and Winter, there are propane and wood costs. In addition to electric, there is Direct T.V. and HughesNet.
Keywords: 2nd Home Vacation Rental. There is a wide dirt road up to the homes in the area. It is decently maintained by the County. Cars, trucks and SUV’s have made it safely to my home. However, in the Winter, I cannot predict snow so it is better to have all wheel or 4 wheel drive. Cables work as well. Log homes in New Mexico are in the mountains. I am at 8200 feet in elevation; therefore, logically it is an upward climb to reach me. The views are beautiful. It is up to the renters to discern their vechicles’ capablies. As I said this log home is the best of two experiences . It is located in a wilderness atmosphere yet 45 miles from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Not far in my opinion and experience. Takes me 12 minutes to get down the mountain. But, I know the road well. My recommendation is that you arrive here before dark. Because imagination on the forest road can make some people uneasy. In the light, it isn’t scary at all. The road curves and climbs in some places. I live here alone with all that comes with it and I have never been intimidated with the road. Beautiful place and views. It has been very popular with large families. Check weather projections before you come. If snow is coming, your vehicle should handle that. Otherwise and during all other seasons, regular cars have done very well here. I have had Mercedes and Lexus models here. German and Austrian cars are built for the mountains. County maintains the roads. Dirt road is wide and decently maintained. And as I stated before, there are other log homes up here and a few ranches. I have 5 neighbors . Unfortunately , I had to raise my rates recently. Drought in Southwest has depleted my water supply from my pump house. I must now order water usually every time I rent $347 per load. And fuel to operate large log home has significantly increased. Makes me crazy. But , it is just the greed we tolerate with corporate profit motives. Even my cleaner charges more because of her fuel costs.
