Do yourself a favor and book this magical spot NOW! If you’re looking for a clean, luxurious casita with starry-sky views, this is the obvious destination. You’ll feel like you’re staying at a private resort villa, hubbing to Ojo Caliente springs to soak in, spa to relax at and restaurant to enjoy. The location is so private, yet so easily accessible to hop on the road for day visits to Santa Fe, Taos, Angel Fire, Eagle Nest and Red River. This artfully-designed and well-appointed casita has all the creature comforts for cooking, visiting by the chimenea and sleeping soundly. Just book it!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was great, especially sitting on the patio in the morning enjoying the view and the hummingbirds! It was a great location to explore northern New Mexico.
Perfect spot for a Fall getaway to enjoy Ojo spa, Nosa and Ghost Ranch. The bed was so cozy, fire with all you needed available, and super serene. Would definitely return.
Beautiful home! Communication with host was excellent. Loved the suggestions for things to do in the area. It was the perfect relaxing getaway. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Laurie's place. The view is lovely and the place is very relaxing. Upon check-in we ran into an issue but once we contacted Laurie, she ensured it was made right for us. She was communicative, professional, and ensured we were satisfied. We will be back at the Serene Ojo Casita again. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!
What a beautiful home furnished with everything you would ever need. The views were amazing. We had a peaceful & relaxing trip! Thank you for sharing your home!
This is maybe my fifth stay and the place is as lovely as ever. Communication. Check in and out is easy. It’s a beautiful location and most convenient for my visits to my son and family.

This property was better than the photos. Such a quiet, serene place. Just what I needed. Only 13 miles from great hot springs and 45 minutes to Taos and Santa Fe. Views were amazing. Can't wait to come back. Host was great!

The perfect escape from humid E Texas. Great weather. Coffee on the patio every morning in sweats and shorts after brunch. Lazy drive to shopping/dining (is NM doing a passive aggressive protest of TX speed limits?), so stock up since you won’t want to leave anyway. This house makes you want to rent it for a month and write your novel
My husband and I had a rejuvenating retreat at Kiva. The landscape is beautiful and the casita exceeded our expectations. The space has a magical quality with beautiful artwork throughout. We also had exceptional meals at NOSA - Chef Graham is so talented. Hope to return soon!
We had a great week! This place is in an ideal location, nearly equidistant to Taos and Santa Fe, and just minutes from the Ojo Caliente Spa. The unit itself was extremely clean and modern, and communication with the property owner was seemless.
Had a relaxing private retreat in a charming, well-appointed casita with great views of Northern New Mexico landscape, skies, and birds. It is situated for easy day trips to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs and Abiquiu, NM. There are not a lot of dining options nearby so I brought my own food and ate in for the most part.
We really enjoyed staying here. Unique floor plan, a fully stocked kitchen, and beautiful views. Everything we needed was there. There was also plenty of firewood available (and I regret not using the fireplace - but if we would have used it, there would have been more than enough wood). Last but not least, check in and checkout we’re both very straightforward. If we visit this area again, I would definitely choose to stay here!
My wife, dog and I had a great stay. Laurie was very communicative when we had a brief power outage, offering to find a hotel for us and refunding the night. Fortunately, the power was restored. Will be back.
