Peaceful getaway
Truly enjoyed our stay in this quirky retreat. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. Loved being outside on the deck or under the trees and the hikes into the forest. Will definitely be back except next time we plan to stay longer.

Funky and Fabulous Retreat
My husband and I stayed and were pleasantly surprised. It’s an artists studio retreat that is super comfortable. It was super clean and had all that we needed and then some! We will definitely revisit next time in the area.

Nice Stay
As other reviewers have mentioned, the layout of the house is quirky and it has a very boho vibe. It was fine for us for a couple of days - we booked just so we could go to Ghost Ranch and Plaza Blanca - but I don't think the space is conducive to long stays. That said, the area is pretty and the neighborhood is quiet.

Quiet relaxation
We used the house, studio as a base from which to explore the area. The place was big for two people, but I'd definitely do it again. For all its room, it was very comfortable. The weather was perfect during our stay, warm days and cool, even cold evenings.

Beautiful location
This property was located in a great location close to thousands of acres of public land and mountains. The house was equipped with everything that was needed for a short stay and all the furnishings were comfortable. Owner communication was almost instant. Overall, it was a great stay and would recommend this property to anyone.

Peaceful stay
This house is not for those with mobility issues—lots of steps and different levels, but we enjoyed our stay. Very clean. Second bedroom requires walking through the first to the bathroom. More photos would help people assess whether the place is suitable for them. Nevertheless, we got used to the peculiarities quickly and enjoyed the peace and quiet very much.

Habitat for Hobbits
This delightfully bohemian place was furnished and equipped as if to serve guests who are snowed in for a week and need all the creature comforts. Downstairs had an impressively large table fit for a banquet, surrounded by eclectic artwork. The upstairs -- with lots of windows for ventilation -- invited deep lounging (velvet couches?). We came here during a summer heat wave, but had we come in winter we would have kept warm by firing up the oversized wood stove. The absolute high point was the spacious raised deck overhung by junipers but still allowing for stargazing -- literally at the boundary with Carson National Forest. A walk into the woods begins about twenty-five feet from that deck. The owner was welcoming and helpful. My only regret is not having spent more time with the resident dogs!
