Wonderful stay

Our stay was in the middle of June and it was wonderful. The house was awesome and very comfortable. The location was great right up against the national forest. If you are looking for a secluded getaway this is the perfect spot.

All in all Alicia's home was perfect for what I was wanting and needing. Alicia was great and quite prompt in answering questions I had prior to my arrival. When the listing says it's nestled in total peace and privacy, it is 100% true. I was traveling alone, so admittedly it took the city woman in me a night or two to settle into the quiet and remote location, but I ended up loving it. I'd definitely consider going back again!

Beautiful Getaway

From the incredible views, to the hot tub, to the well-stocked kitchen - everything was wonderful. We couldn't have enjoyed our time at Casa Ambrosia more. This is the perfect "I need to get away from it all" vacation spot!

Most chill stay ever

We had *such* a relaxing time at Casa Ambrosia. The solitude under the stars in the hot tub was epic as was the warm fireplace afterward. We boosted our tranquility factor with a day trip to Ojo Caliente, just a short drive away. Highly recommended!! Wish we could've stayed much longer!!!

Casa Ambrosia

Quirky and highly secluded property. We enjoyed our stay as it was very low key. No snow and so much was closed. We focused on wonderful hiking and cozy fires. My wife enjoyed the hot tub.

Great place to stay

Perfect location for many day trips and a nice place to return to. Can’t go better with a hot tub to unwind in and plenty of room for your dog to roam. No neighbors and star gazing was amazing. Thank you Alicia for sharing Casa Ambrosia!

Wonderful weekend away!

My wife and I really enjoyed our time in Casa Ambrosia. The adobe home was very comfortable and tucked away on a private lot. The host was very responsive and we would definitely stay again.
