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!

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.

Peaceful, quiet location in nature

I loved the relatively isolated location surrounded by nature. Hiking, walking, and birding is just out the door. There are beautiful views, especially from the bedrooms and sunroom. The house is fully equipped and everything is in working order.

Fall retreat

Casa Ambrosia is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Stunning views from a unique hand crafted home. Alicia was wonderful, checking by email to be sure we arrived and had everything we needed. Hot tub under the stars after a long day of hiking near ghost ranch was sublime

Adobe masterpiece

The house is amazing - as an Architect - this is probably the most unique, well-designed, and executed home I've rented. True structural expression and many natural efficiencies A great location if you like a variety of outdoor activities.
