After searching for a place to stay in Northern New Mexico, I came across Cliff River Springs. I…read morewas super excited, as the place appeared gorgeous and remote, exactly what we were looking for. Our expectations were not only met, but exceeded many times over. From the friendly and welcoming hosts to the absolutely stunning landscape, this place is totally amazing. The Casita - We were lucky and got an upgrade to Upper Stream. What a gorgeous place. Warm wood floors, a full and well equipped kitchen, a nice gas fireplace, little touches around the place, all really made it feel incredibly cozy and welcoming. We ate out a few times but brought plenty of food to cook breakfast and lunch on site. Our stay lasted four days, so it felt almost like home! The Land - I am an urbanite, so this place was literally nirvana to me. We saw a hawk in action, and heard coyotes. We went on a nice walk, along the dry river bed and up into the hills. I was giddy with the the views and plant life bursting around me. Just be sure to bring a hat! It's bright/warm out there (we were there in early October). I fell in love with the pond! It was an oasis in the dry climate of New Mexico. We spent a lot of time sitting up there, taking in the view. My traveling companion went swimming, too! I can't say enough good things about Cliff River Springs. Those four days will stay with me for many, many moons to come.

My spectacular but I should have booked another month stay at the Cliff River Springs. I spent an…read moreincredible five weeks (04/01/2021 - 05/06/2021) in "Cliff Mid" casita on the Cliff River Springs property. I will start with the gracious manager, Hope, then the property, and finally the casita. My five week stay was phenomenal because of Hope Atterbury. Hope's kindness and attentiveness pierced through me from our first email correspondence to my last day. She responded to my emails quickly (I have a feature phone without vowifi but got good reception around the upper pond, the plaza, and the parking lot). Hope appropriately checked on my wellbeing without being annoying. During my stay I did not have a vehicle (I still don't lol). Hope generously offered and picked up groceries from me whenever she went into town. Without her kindness, I would have been very hungry, but I still would have enjoyed the scenery and my casita. The Cliff River Springs property is vast, varied, and vibrant. After my arrival, Hope showed me around the beautiful property; more importantly, she showed me the map of the property and the guide to the various trails and hikes on the property. During the first two weeks, I had an amazing time exploring the property and trails. Listening, feeling, smelling, and watching nature be reborn was peaceful and soul satisfying. After the weather warmed and I got some courage, I took several rejuvenating swims in the upper pond. Later on I found a distinguished, tremendous tree to share energy, practice yoga, meditate, and observe life near my casita (the tree is near the longest bench and valley overview area). My casita, "Cliff Mid," was quiet, charming, and cozy. "Cliff Mid" contained everything I needed to feel at home. It had great wifi, a full sink, refrigerator, dishes, salt, olive oil, various tea bags, tea kettle, soap, towels, a gas range and oven, a toaster, dining table, full size bed with a thick comforter, sofa, arm chair, bathroom, electric heat baseboards, yoga mat, books, pots and pans, spices, and hot sauce. My favorite part of the casita are the windows. There is one window in the front and three windows in the back of the casita. I love the refreshing air flow with all the windows open. Also being able to watch the birds, especially the humming birds, from the front window and listen to the stream from the back windows is spectacular. One of the best parts of my adventure at Cliff River Springs were the moments I shared with the other guests and staff. I had different neighbors during my stay. Everyone had positive, calm aura; additionally, everyone was friendly. Whether you come by yourself, with a friend, or with a bunch of family, you will enjoy the harmony and nature at Cliff River Springs. You will leave relaxed and happier (maybe a little sad leaving because you want to stay longer). I plan to return to Cliff River Springs to experience its magic during each season. I started in spring next is summer.

We spent two nights at Casa Gallina in the Bantam Roost. I can't even begin to talk about how…read moreawesome our stay was. Richard had a letter attached to the wood frame entrance to our accommodations welcoming us to the property. He came right over to introduce himself, show us around the property, and even picked a few things from the garden for us to enjoy during our stay. We settled in and enjoyed the cheese, crackers, olives and snacks that he had on the table along with a bottle of wine that was delicious. The next morning, Richard was on our doorstep with warm pear and walnut scones that he made from the pear tree on the property. Our little cottage was perfect. Filled with local art work, bright colors and the textures of the Southwest. We had a lovely living room, dining area with a banquette, kitchen stocked with everything we needed. Upstairs was the bedroom and bathroom with a large deck off the bedroom and stunning views of the mountains surrounding Taos. Everything was spotlessly clean, warm, inviting and cozy. We relaxed, enjoyed and savored every moment we were here. I even used the little meditation hut next to the creek for my morning meditations. It was the most peaceful spot. In the refrigerator we found 6 fresh eggs that Richard had left from the chickens on the property. We thoroughly enjoyed them. Richard was friendly, kind, giving and the most gracious host and a wonderful innkeeper. If you ever find yourself traveling to Taos, you must stay.

If I could give this guest house zero stars I would. Nothing on the website mentions that there is…read moreNO AIR CONDITIONING. You are supplied with four large noisy fans and told to open the windows. The bed is in a loft with a extremely narrow spiral stair case. Good luck getting a suitcase up the stairs. The bed is hard as a rock. If you do manage to get to sleep on it, the sky light window will have the sun waking you up at 5 AM. No rest found here. If you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night it is easier to jump from the loft than get down the spiral stairs. The place is filled with notes of the do's and don'ts. Don't break the electric blinds they are expensive. Don't touch the heat control which is in a locked box. Call management to change temperature in room. Don't open this door. Talk about micro manage!

Inger Jirby's casitas are in old adobe buildings but she has done a marvelous job of making the…read morecasitas comfortable and stylish. Our casita was filled with art, southwestern rugs and furnishings, and brightly colored paints. Everything we needed was available (even coffee!). The stairs to the loft bedroom are a tight squeeze in a spiral but we were able to go up and down the stairs and take suitcases up (we are 75 years old and we were able to manage); the stairs do require you to pay attention as you go up and down but they did not interfere with the pleasure of our stay at all. The casita is within easy walking distance of 2 prominent and important museums, an easy walk to the center of Taos, and an easy walk to several of Taos' best restaurants. LeDoux Street is historic, and it is a privilege to be able to stay in that area. If you stay in one of the casitas, I hope you get to meet Inger, but if she is not available she does have a backup. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and we would definitely book at Inger's again.

They showed us the layout of the facilities and our room. We were there in December so we really enjoyed tiled floors that were warm. Not to mention how nice it was to look at the stars from there and having access to a private hot tub. I had mentioned to Corey we were there for the night celebrating my birthday and to my surprise I was treated to a delicious slice of cake they had for NYE (that day) and treated me to a morning slice since we'd be headed back home that evening. By the end of our visit we felt like we'd become friends with Corey and his partner and can't wait till we're back in the future to visit our friends at Hacienda del Sol again.
