Ojo Caliente, New Mexico
La Lomita is located in the area where La Familia Valdez has a 300 year history. La Lomita was conceived, designed and built with hospitality and spirituality in mind. It is a place of healing and rest, of relaxing and dreaming, of renewal. It holds mystery in the howling coyotes, the whispering junipers, the shifting arroyos, and the colorful wildlife. Bienvenidos! Nuestra casa es su casa.
Read our wonderful reviews and let our many guests describe the La Lomita experience. (See review section)
Nestled into the Black Mesa, La Lomita is the hub surrounded by Abiquiu to the northwest, Ojo Caliente and Taos to the north, Chimayo to the east, and Española and Santa Fe to the south, all with local art and food just 10 to 55 minutes away. It is 12 miles from the relaxing mineral springs and spa at Ojo Caliente, and 30 minutes from Los Alamos and Bandalier National Monument.
The spectacular Santa Fe Opera is 30 minutes away, as is its neighbor, the Santa Fe Flea Market with treasures made by 'artesanos' from Mexico, Guatemala and other native areas (open in Spring and Summer).
On the way to Taos, via the High Road through Truchas or the route along the Rio Grande through Velarde with the Black Mesa Winery, you will find beautiful scenery and native Hispano-made tin work, retablos, santos, and weaving from traditions begun hundreds of years ago.
River rafting in the Rio Grande or floating over the river gorge in a hot air balloon, are adventures waiting for all ages, as are the ski trails and golf courses, all in close proximity to La Lomita.
Stay at home and climb the Black Mesa, part of our 9 acre 'back yard', and if you reach the top (about 45 minutes of spectacular climbing), wander across the top of the Mesa and see the Rio Grande flowing below. Or grab your easel and paints, camera or writing pad, and capture the breath-taking, mountain scenes all around you. Need to relax Try tai-ch, yoga or gentle walking around our juniper, piñon and desert-flowered landscape, and let the many visiting songbirds lull you into a peaceful siesta.

Loved that it was secure. Loved the privacy. Home is beautiful and spacious. Had family games available. Scenery was awesome.
My stay at La Lomita was so enjoyable. It was like being in my own home. I was alone but felt totally safe and secure. I would highly recommend for a small group stay or family. Thank you for sharing such a lovely home
This is a nice place in a very quiet area.
It was a beautiful secluded area with wonderful views. The home was lovely and had special artistic touches, good books, and all the amenities of home. Truly delightful.
No air conditioning so we checked out wasn’t there but about an hour. The owner wouldn’t return our calls or emails until 4 days later and when he did he said he wouldn’t give us a complete refund!!!
La Lomita was superb! Perfect desert dwelling with skies so dark that you’ll see stars you never though possible! Carl and Gretchen were great the entire process. Communication was simply top-notch from beginning to end. The house was clean, bright, and very comfortable! The location was excellent, affording access to anything in the area that you might want to do; from the many restaurants (try Socorro’s, it’s excellent) to recreation and city visiting from Taos to Santa Fe. I highly recommend this property!
Our stay here was fabulous. The property was pristine with lots of places to explore. The location was perfect for us to check our Santa Fe, Ojo Caliente and Bandelier Monument. The house was a blessing to return to and relax each evening. Thanks for making our stay enjoyable.
This property was a really comfortable space. The home was really clean and we loved everything about it! Kitchen well stocked for cooking and a nice space to eat together as a family. Wonderful views from the living room, space for our children to play outside, and a good central location on a gated road for easy access to surrounding areas.
We were VERY happy with the house. Made Thanksgiving perfect! Almost like being home. The kitchen was completely stalked and had everything we needed. The views and sunsets just added to everything! Thanks again
Quiet gated community, home was stocked with everything we needed and then some, less perishables. Beds, chairs, couches were very comfy. Kitchen is fully stocked (plastic ziploc baggies would be nice) and functional. Tons of books available to read, lots of extra pillows and blankets. Truly a gem of a home, very comfortable. Would love to rent again sometime.
The location is gorgeous, the house is fantastic, the hosts are so very very nice. Absolutely our best VRBO experience ever!
We really enjoyed our stay - has everything we needed to cook delicious meals. Lovely setting snd spacious home.
This was the perfect place for what we needed.
A special place for relaxing and reflection.
Property is beautiful! We especially enjoyed sitting out on the porch in the evening and watching the sunset.
We had a fabulous stay!!! The house was perfect and had everything we needed and more! Watching the sunset from the porch was a favorite evening activity…far enough out of town to feel secluded in this private-gated community but close enough to everything for easy access. Highly recommend this property!
We loved the house and it was so well appointed.
Property is excellent! We had a wonderful time here! Everything looks and is better than on pictures to the smallest details! First class! I will definitely come back here when i will travel to NM or CO. Would recommend 0! Thank you!
