Black Lake Mountain Retreat. The rural setting welcomes birds and bird watchers.

Loved our stay here!

This is a great place to stay, only 5 minutes driving away from angel fire resort. Very quiet, clean, convenient and comfy. The host is super nice and very accommodating, we had a great stay. The house is equipped with everything we need to feel like a home away from home. The motion-sensored night lights is a big plus for safety and convenience. Lots of different varieties of birds and hummingbirds around the house makes it a perfrect stay for birders. The weather is also great in the summer.

This is a great place to get away. Very quiet except for the wind.. only a few minutes away from angel fire resort.. easy to get to.. the host is super nice and a very tallented artist.. we had a very good stay....

Wonderful property in a great location. Awesome host!

Saw elk and turkeys. Beautiful mountain. Host was very informative the area. Enjoyed my stay

Fantastic value, really appreciate the space and let friendliness of the location. I have a bad back so wish the main bed was a little more firm, but not enough to ruin our trip. Would definitely stay here again!

Oldie but a goodie. The house was very clean. There were lots of extra special touches such as an abundance of towels and handmade fancy soaps in the bathrooms. The decor was fun to look at. Beds were fairly comfortable and suited our needs just fine.

Jacqui was a great host. The house is cozy and perfect for our family and dogs.

Fabulous home and host! Such a gem, everything we wanted for our trip plus more. Hope to return to see another season !

Great host, good communication.

Always a great stay. Thank you.

Fell in love with this rental unit, the surrounding environs, and couldn't have been happier with the host.

It was a very quaint place to stay. Centrally located to see surrounding towns/places. Place seemed clean. Everything you need to cook for the family as a home away from home.

Great stay. Nice quiet location, fully equipped kitchen, nice spacious bedding. Highly recommend if you are in angel dire

Nice place to stay if you want to go around this area .

Loved this VRBO - it was so cozy for my husband and our standard poodles. The bed was super comfortable. Just overall a super nice place. And Jacqui was an amazing host and wonderful artist!! Her art is throughout the VRBO.

This rustic cabin with great views 10 mins outside of Angel Fire was great for our stay with our dogs. Though it was very dusty, the kitchen and linens were well-stocked, and the fenced yard was good for the dogs.

Had a great time. Trouble getting the door unlocked on the second day but figured it out

Our fifth year staying here, so we obviously enjoy the location and accommodation. We have 2 dogs with us, and they love being here. Jacqui is a gracious, friendly and helpful host. The facilities are perfect for our needs. A well-equipped kitchen, 1 1/2 bathrooms, washer and dryer, meets all our needs for our month away from home.

We had a good stay at Black Lake Mountain Retreat. Loved that there was a small fenced in back yard for our dogs. They are not very big so it would have been better if the grass was cut but it worked out fine. Not much traffic so we could go for walks with the dogs. There was plenty of room inside the house and it was stocked with everything that you need.

The place was just as advertised. Definitely would recommend.

We had a great stay at this cozy and quiet home! The house itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The mountain views were absolutely stunning—sunrises and sunsets were a treat each day. One of our favorite parts was the abundance of wildlife; birds were everywhere, and we spotted all kinds of animals during our stay. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with beautiful scenery!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this Angel Fire home! Lots of space, great kitchen with everything you need to cook, prepare & serve meals, and laundry facilities are just a few top points. Location is quiet and beautiful. Artist’s Artwork is beautiful & on display in the home. Really liked this Vrbo. 5 stars!

This house was a wonderful place to stay for our annual family ski vacation. Our girls stayed in one bedroom, allowing dad to get up early and have coffee downstairs without disturbing them. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to have family dinner at the nice wood table a few nights. The nice views out each window and the comfortable sofa and chairs made for a relaxing evening after hitting the slopes, which were only 10 minutes away.

Great location for trips to Angel Fire, Taos, and Eagle Nest. Family enjoyed the amenities and felt at home during the stay. Great rental for family and furry friends.

Spent a long weekend skiing, shopping and taking in the area.

The property was unique, cozy, and great overall!

We have stayed here 3 years in a row and we are never disappointed. Thank you Jacqui! See you next year.

I was having work done on my house and booked Jacqui's place so I could escape from the mess at night. The area is quiet and beautiful, the house was perfect for me, quite comfortable, with everything I needed. I and my dog enjoyed our stay very much.

We stayed for four nights, to ski in Angel Fire resort, which is 10 minutes away. An easy drive. The property is well loved and maintained. The furniture is lovely, the kitchen is nicely stocked. We were able to make dinners at home. The dishes are very pretty and colorful. Lots of plates, glasses, wine glasses, coffee mugs, kitchen towels, napkins, etc. If you miss some small stuff (aluminum foil, plastic wrap and such). -there is a Family Dollar a few miles away, where you can buy cheap supplies.The paintings on the walls are a very nice touch. Bedding was nice, plenty of extra towels, all very good quality. The bigger mattress was a bit too soft for my back, but we made some rearrangements, and the smaller mattress worked just fine. The owner was ready to help. When I asked for a humidifier, she delivered it shortly. One WARNING though for future occupants - DO NOT USE THE AXE by the fire place. My husband used it to chop the firewood, and the axe broke (the metal part flew off the wooden handle). It's a miracle nobody got seriously hurt. Over all - a very nice stay, will be glad to stay there again.

We were so thankful to find this property. The price was low, the location made it very easy to get to Angel Fire for skiing and it offered plenty of space for our family of five. Jacqui had the home decorated for Christmas when we came which we loved. Our kids enjoyed playing outside in both the back and front yard. Having a washer and dryer and fully stocked kitchen also made our ski trip very easy. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were dark so we slept very well! We would for sure book this property again. Excellent value for a wonderful mountain getaway!

I travel a lot and use rental homes often and this is by far the filthiest I have ever rented. From the moment we arrived and used the restroom we noticed SO MUCH hair covering the sink, toilet and bathtub. It didn’t look like it had been cleaned at all. I hoped the towels were clean. All of the floors were covered in previous guests small garbage from plastic wrappers to coins. I spent four days picking things out of my dogs mouth - coins, plastic rages from clothes, TOENAIL CLIPPINGS,rubber bands, plastic luggage tags. I couldn’t believe it. I hoped the hair I found on the bed sheets were just stick from the wash and I picked them off and tried not to think about it. I honestly felt dirty staying there and it’s such a shame because the house itself is large and inviting. Had a lot of potential but entering into previous guests filth is awful. Negative stars.

Great location. Everything was good about the place, but many of the dishes were dirty.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The living area is even larger than in the photos. The kitchen has everything we could need. Great views. There were several types of birds even in winter. Jacqui's beautiful art decorated the walls. Our 2 small dogs loved the back yard. We would definitely stay here again.

We had an excellent time staying here. The owner lives onsite, but you’d never know it. The property is as it’s described in the listing. We brought our two dogs and they enjoyed the fenced-in yard. Plenty of pots, pans, and utensils allowed us to cook all our meals at the home. Absolutely beautiful area of New Mexico. Would highly recommend.

Jaqui has done a great job making this little home warm and cozy. We enjoyed the quiet, bucolic setting and the spacious, homey furnishings. Beds and linens were comfortable, everything was clean and well-maintained. We were glad to stay and will return next time!

We stayed here with our dog for four nights during the Fall color season. It was very comfortable and pleasant. The house was well stocked with many essentials and more. The Wi-Fi worked well - we could stream HD movies. The location is nice near Eagle Nest Lake, Cimarron Canyon and a short drive away from Red River or Taos / Rio Grande Gorge. Fuel and groceries are readily available in Angel Fire. There are many trails in the vicinity with difficulty ratings from easy to more challenging. On and near the property itself we could see wildlife such as deer, hawks and prairie dogs. We would definitely recommend this place.

Looking forward to going and watching the birds and animal, in October. Looking forward to going haven’t been to Eagles Nest since a child when I got to with my parents. In the 1950’s

This was our fourth year staying at the Black Lake Mountain Retreat. It is perfect for a long stay with dogs. The back yard is fenced, and there are plenty of places to walk your friends. The house is well equipped with everything you need to cook meals. Of course the scenery is beautiful, the hummingbirds plentiful, not to mention the hawk, bluebirds and many others we will be back!
