Amazing stay near Santa Fe

Hosts were friendly helpful and even bright is home baked pastries every morning if our stay. They allowed us to feed the horses some treats and visit with the animals. For the cottage it’s self it was very clean and cozy to stay in. We had no issues with the cottage everything worked great and we got an amazing experience. Would love to stay here again !

Stars, Skies and Natural Scenery

A wonderful place and space to rest, recharge and be inspired for a project I'm working on. Thanks Liz and Gary for creating such a comfortable haven, providing great information and conversation about what to do, see and eat/drink locally, and for the yummy morning (still-warm) baked goodies -- all of which made my stay a memorable one!

Amazing location

We absolutely loved waking up to a cool breeze, the braying of the donkey and the sound of little hooves wandering the property. The warm bread/muffins every morning were a delicious bonus. The properties location between Santa Fe and Albuquerque let us easily explore all that both cities have to offer while the surprising little community of Madrid was so fun we ended up spending an entire day with the local artists. Then after each days adventures we got to enjoy beautiful sunsets and dark skies filled with millions of stars. With such great hosts, beautiful views, and perfect location I would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area.

Santa Fe with mini-horses as a bonus.

This cozy home away from home is located only 20 minutes from Santa Fe but is also much closer to Cerillos and Madrid which one must visit. Albuquerque is 40 minutes away on the Turquoise Trail. The stay was very pleasant, and as a bonus, the owners have 2 mini horses, a mini mule, and a donkey at the property. The home is somewhat isolated and quiet. In addition for the eco-conscious the property is entirely solar and rainwater is collected and used at the property. all in all it was a nice quiet stay. Of course I can’t forget the warm baked items delivered to our door every morning. Yum.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Delfs

Hello! Your host Liz is a lawyer and Gary is a retired business professor. We have a passionate commitment to harness the gentle power of miniature horses to help families recover from challenges. We love hosting travelers and sharing the beauty of our property and northern New Mexico.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is fully equipped with the comforts of home. It is completely solar and uses a rain catchment system. Liz loves baking muffins and bread in the morning for guests and there is no better way to wake up than to watching miniature horses in your backyard, or peering in your window! We welcome children, but the cottage is not child-proofed and young ones must be supervised by guests at all times. The cottage is rural, the roads to our property are excellent and our internet and cell phone access is better than in the city of Santa Fe.

What makes this property unique

Our guests tell us that the serene beauty of our location is a tonic to relieve stress. The temperature is delightful during morning sunrises and sunsets and watching the miniature horses peacefully grazing within arms reach is a special treat like no other! Guests can hike 3,000 acres from the porch, or journey back to the 1800's and enjoy the nearby towns of Cerrillos and Madrid. The more cosmopolitan but still enchanting cities of Santa Fe and Albuquerque are within easy reach. We have lived in northern New Mexico for several years and Gary was raised in this state. We know where to find the best of everything!. Unlike many other properties, we are here if you need us. A comprehensive guidebook, written by us, is available, via email before you arrive or in the cabin. We take great pride in what we can offer and look forward to sharing our cottage with you and introducing you to the magic of miniature equines!
