About this property

WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY 360 Degree Views of Abiquiu Lake & Ghost Ranch

Full luxury in breathtaking natural beauty. Remote and private. So quiet you can hear your heart beat. At night, no city lights disturb your view of the star-studded sky.

From this 1,475 square foot Casita, you'll enjoy panoramic 360-degree views: Abiquiu Lake, miles of mesas, rolling hills, and the magnificent red cliffs surrounding the famous Ghost Ranch. To the south you'll see the 10,000-foot mountain known as El Pedernal, which Georgia O'Keefe made famous in her paintings, along with much of the near landscape.

Our Casita was built in 2008, and designed by a local architect in a southwestern yet modern style. It's fully furnished for comfort. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch gas stove with heavy gauge grills for those who really love to cook.

Check out the Master bathroom: you can choose between a slate shower or a deep soaking tub to soothe your body after an invigorating hike in the nearby Jemez Mountains. Besides the 2 bedrooms, each with Queen beds, there is a Full Size Air Mattress RAISED Inflatable Bed with Built-in High Capacity Airbed Pump and Fitted Sheets with Bed Skirt for use in the Great Room overlooking the lake.

Absolutely Gorgeous.

I visited with my husband, sister and brother-in-law to celebrate my 50th birthday. We had a fabulous few days enjoying the wonderful casita with its completely breathtaking views. We planned to go out for short days so that we could have long leisurely afternoons and evenings enjoying the porch, fire pit and scenery. We had the perfect few days. Thank you Larry and Laurie.

The Perfect Respite

Vista de Lago is the perfect locale for a relaxing getaway from the stress and strain of everyday life. As mentioned by other reviewers, it is wise to stock up on groceries, on your way to Abiquiu, as once you arrive at this beautiful hideaway, you may not wish to venture far. The views in every direction are just indescribably breathtaking. The quiet is delightful, with only the occasional sound of a bird overheard breaking through the stillness. The air is clean and fresh, and the casita is the perfect design to maximize the enjoyment of this "utopia". Even the thunderstorms that we encountered during our 7 day stay, were a treat to behold from the vantage point of the high mesa, and, on the clear nights, the stars against the black velvet sky were simply incredible. The owners provide all the information needed to successfully navigate the surrounding area, as well as the basic necessities. Larry and Laurie - Jim and and I thank you for helping to make our 40th wedding anniversary celebration such a beautiful one! We are already checking our calendars (and yours) to see when we will be able to return to Vista de Lago!

Absolutely Amazing Place to Stay

This is a gorgeous, comfortable, house in one of the most breathtaking locations in the west. It is well off the beaten path but totally modern and connected so it offered every level of serenity and escape that our family of five (with three college age kids) could hope for. There is plenty to do around Abiquiu, but this home could be a destination on its own. After the first couple of hours there, you'll know how Georgia O'Keefe felt when she found Ghost Ranch.

Bumpy start but overall good

Our family recently stayed at the property. There was a hiccup at the start but the owner was very responsive and helped provide an accommodation until the issue was resolved. I could not say enough wonderful things about the property itself. The location is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! The sunrises are amazing with phenomenal views of the lake and mountains. And the stars at night will take your breath away! There were a few minor issues like the kitchen could use a deep cleaning and the pull out on the great room is broken but we weren’t fussed. We would happily stay again. Thank you to our hosts for allowing us to stay in their home for our family adventure.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I have been visiting Northern New Mexico for almost 30 years. The skies, the red rocks, the mesas, the food, the locals, the hiking, the skiing…. are all so inviting. Finally, we decided that it was time to buy a place, not only to use as a getaway for ourselves, but for friends and family alike. We also want to introduce others to Abiquiu and Northern NM, so we’ve decided to make this a vacation getaway for you as well. We know you’ll be enchanted by NM as we have been.
