This is our 4th time staying here, and as always, its very comfortable. Stunning views, incredibly peaceful, and plenty of sitting areas outside to see the Chama River and mountains. We went kayaking and swimming, and spent hours enjoying the views and watching sunsets.

Solitude, gorgeous scenery, beautiful house.

The warm radiant heated floors, the well-stocked kitchen, the breath-taking scenery, the absence of neighbors, all led to our having a relaxing and rewarding experience at Casa Rio.

Best Thanksgiving Ever

The house was so great! We had an amazing time and were very well taken care of by the owners. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in staying in Abiquiu. The beds were comfortable, the hot tub was a great way to end each evening, the entertainment setup and movies featuring Abiquiu were also a great touch. Thanks again for the wonderful stay.

Perfect relaxing getaway

If you don't mind being well away from shops/restaurants (i.e. stock up on groceries before you arrive), this place is a gem. Amazing views, atop a hill overseeing Lake Abiquiu, very nicely maintained place. Owner was super-easy to deal with. My wife and I just relaxed for 2 days. Great place to decompress.
