If you REALLY want to get away...

We were looking for a quiet, off-the-beaten-path place to conclude our vacation. We hit the bullseye with the Pecos River Cliff Hiuse. It is beautiful, , spotlessly clean, and totally quiet. We couldn't recommend it more highly!

Amazing View

We stayed here for a week. The house is in the most beautiful spot. It is secluded and has everything you need. We didn't come at a good time for fishing, but my teenagers sure gave it their best efforts. We spent time in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos. New Mexico was good to us. Thank you for the wonderful house!

Views and great river access.

What a great stay! Host communication is perfect. The house is wonderful. We loved going to the river and hanging out. We had it totally to ourselves. The view from the house is amazing. Everything a person might need is there, right down to bug spray, a crockpot, fishing gear, foil, coffee, Tupperware. So nice. We were just 30 minutes easy driving by freeway to Sante Fe, which was an added bonus. We would stay again in a heart beat, if only we lived a bit closer.

A Peace of Heaven in San Jose, New Mexico

Their service level is top-notch, and beyond that, it's the details that make the difference. Hearing the river below & watching wildlife in abundance was soothing to the soul. The peacefulness, and quietness, & we enjoyed the rain as well. If one loves the nightlife there is Santa Fe about a forty-minute ride away. Thanks to you for all your efforts and the above-and-beyond assistance you provided during our stay. Much appreciated - and looking to another visit. God's Blessings

Perfect Getaway Spot!

This place is truly breathtaking! Very clean, well stocked with all you could need including, extra fishing rods, gear, life jackets, kayaks, roll away bed, fans and the list goes on. Owner is great at keeping in communication and was very helpful in giving us fishing tips. Majestic views and just a short walk down some stairs to a huge natural picnic area right along the rivers edge. Picnic benches and firepit make this a great area to lounge while fishing. There are also some great trails to explore along the rivers edge. We will definitely be making our way back to this fantastic place if they will have us again!

Absolutely perfect - from communications with Robin, to arrival, enjoyment, and checkout. The pictures really don't do this justice - the views are stunning and house is so cozy and beautifully appointed. The property is... wow! It felt special to be able to enjoy it. Never saw another person. Thank you to the owner for sharing this magical place. We are already planning our return.

Outstanding!

This is an outstanding property. We always look for unique private locations and this was it. Makes you feel like you are the only people around but yet easy access to the interstate. Views were gorgeous. Nice outdoor spaces. Area by river well kept. House was perfect. By far the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. Literally only need to bring your clothes and food. Host was very responsive and helpful. Needs more than 5 stars!!!

Wonderful Location

The pictures accurately show the location and environment of the house. It is really a wonderful place to stay for a few days and get away from the real world. The river can be heard from the house and the bedroom has a massive four panel patio door opening to the outside so we left the door open and only closed the screen at night to be able to hear the river. The house is equipped with everything you will need and our host provided all the information we needed to both navigate the area and use the facility. The area at the river is completely private and well shaded. There are floats and canoes to use in the river and a picnic table and other seating at the river's edge. Overall a fantastic place away from it all.

Perfectly peaceful and precisely perfect

This vacation home is incredible and the owners should give a master class on what it takes to be the perfect venue and host. Every single need and want has been thought about and addressed in the most succinct way possible. From the website to the guest guide book to the labels and notes we never wondered where anything was or what the expectation was. It is an incredibly peaceful property with the home sitting above the river. The sound of the water immediately de-frazzles you and the numerous water activities insures endless opportunities for fun. We fished and looked for rocks and the kids climbed around the rocks. If it had been warmer we would have canoed the river or floated down the river in the inner tubes. Absolutely everything is provided including fishing gear and tackle. The home is elegant and modern without ever feeling stuffy or uncomfortable. This home is the perfect example of the goal of every item having it's designated place. I actually took some notes on how I can better organize my home. The steam room and Jacuzzi bathtub were just the additional water therapy we needed. One of our travelers has had some health issues and is unsteady on their feet. I was concerned about the 50ft staircase but once again the hosts have done everything right. The staircase was easy to navigate and the individual stairs were perfect depth and the rise was not too high. They even have rope handrails to assist with walking over some uneven ground. We had zero problems.
