Abiquiu, New Mexico
This is a tiny house in a rural area which sleeps 2 with a loft for sleeping and bathroom with shower and WC plus a kitchen.
There is a shop on the property where guests can access the internet.
The village of Abiquiu is 7 miles away where there is a local restaurant and the Abiquiu Lake is about 15 miles away.
This is a mountainous region with a 6300 ft. elevation where there is skiing in the winter at Taos and Santa Fe. The Chama and Rio Grande are nearby and have white water rafting in the summer, and many beautiful hiking trails nearby as well as at ghost ranch. This Tiny House is 280 s.f. and was built with healthy non-toxic materials and has no electromagnetic fields.
Absolutely beautiful, clean, quiet, and off-the-grid. Perfect place to escape when visiting the Abiquiu area. Harvey was friendly and helpful, but also respectful of our privacy. It was easy to clumb up and down from the loft bed. We learned to turn the cieling fan on at night to keep the heat circulating instead of building up in the loft. No microwave but there is a toaster oven. The only reason we didn't give a 5 on appliances was that it would have been nice if there was a blender to make smoothies in the morning. The view from inside and outside is amazing. And the house is decorated perfectly. Great finishes on everything. You don't even feel as if it is a tiny house. We would definietly stay again if in the area.
Nothing beats this cute tiny house. Location is part of it but honestly, Harvey is one of a kind. You dont meet legends like him anymore. He built the house himself and he is a bau biologist so its all clean building. The area is quiet and so beautiful. Worth every penny. Everything was so perfect.
Good and quiet location although not really desertic. House design OK. Like at most rentals in the US, everything that has to do with the kitchen was dirty. Our 2 days there would not have been enough to clean up the owen, not to mention the fridge, cookware, silverware, coffee maker... Don't even think of cooking a meal. No way to fall back on a frozen dish, there is no microwave unit. Fortunately nearby Café Abiquiu serves an excellent food.
Gorgeous views in a private and lovely locale. If you want to get away from everything, this is the perfect place to do it. The beautiful landscape and the incredible view of the stars and the Milky Way galaxy at night are indescribable.
Very clean and well thought out tiny home. Very comfortable. Amazing views. Enjoyed the peace and quiet. Highly recommend.
Harvey was so communicative and his arrival instructions were very easy to follow when my cell service and GPS became unreliable. I lagged upon arrival and he was so patient and gave me the space I needed to do some errands before checking in. The casita is perfect for one or two adults, and has everything you need for light snack and meal prep before heading out to explore the area. I was able to come and go with ease at any time of day—at night, the solar lights guided me to the front door. The bed was comfy, the A/C great, and the nights so quiet.
This place is cozy, ideal for hiking in the surrounding areas. Very close to Abiquiu and El Rito. We love the quietness of the place and the beauty of the area. The owner is very nice, he provided fresh ground coffee and a nice vase with fresh flowers to adorn the place, a very nice touch! We love it!
Harvey is a wonderful host and the tiny home he built is a perfect oasis for a visit in Abiquiu. It's well equipped and cozy with a comfy bed. My favorite thing was sipping coffee in the morning on the front porch and admiring the views...or wine in the evening. You do need to climb a ladder to get to bed, so be aware of that. It's very well built and sturdy though, and there is a nightlight in the kitchen to help you navigate. In all, a perfect little stay for my cross country road trip.
Tiny little house that’s plenty for two! My husband and I felt comfortable staying here for a week without feeling crammed. The views outside are amazing, and the stars at night are even better. Close to lots of trails, and cafe sierra negra is a must! Only about 1.5 h to Santa Fe national park! Harvey is very kind, good at communicating, and happily showed us some local trails. Would love to stay here again!
I was in town for a Ghost Ranch seminar, and am really glad I stayed at Harvey's place. It's spacious enough for one, though without a sink in the bathroom (there's a small one in the kitchen), don't think I'd want to share with another. Harvey was responsive, kind, and showed me a nice local area to hike. Plenty of amenities, and the internet and heat worked well during my visit. One suggestion to take it from great to awesome would be a good vacuuming and new bath mat. Besides that, highly recommend!
My stay at the tiny home was wonderful! I was looking for something off the grid that offered ammenities such as a shower and stove with peace and quite! Bonus was the amazing views both sunset and sunrise, AC and Heat was included and a small Radio with Bluetooth connection. The Tiny home was just the ticket to reset from my busy lifestyle. I was able to visit Ghost Ranch, Oja Calienta Spa, The valles caldera, Taos and completed several nearby hikes! Wonderful The owner was very responsive!
Bed access is a little challenging but manageable. Gorgeous setting. Helpful resources sheet and good WIFI.
This is absolutely without question the most relaxing place we have ever stayed! We wanted to simply disconnect from major city living for a while, and this was the perfect place. The desert scenery is gorgeous, and we spent many hours sitting on the porch simply taking in the scent of juniper, the warmth of the sun, the gentle rumble of distant evening thunder. Sunrises, sunsets (which were stunning!), stargazing, summer storms. Wonderful solitude. A balm for the soul. The house itself, though tiny, seems spacious inside because the layout is so well composed. The kitchen is well-stocked: pots, pans, cheese grater, pasta drainer, etc., along with herbs, spices, sugar, and the like. The living room is bright with natural light and a high ceiling, and there is a small closet for storage. Small touches like a vase of fresh carnations on the table made it instantly feel like home. The art on the walls featured photographs of local landscapes; overall, the house was very well thought out and it fit perfectly in the high desert area. Harvey is a very kind and thoughtful host--always available yet left us to our solitude, and we had a really nice conversation with him. He is personable, knowledgeable about the area, and it is evident that he put a great deal of thought and care into the tiny house. We definitely look forward to a return trip!
I can only say great things about this property and my stay at the tiny house. It was my first visit to the high dessert of New Mexico and the place exceeded my expectations. After more than two decades of raising a family and living in a busy metropolitan area, I found myself in solitude, quietness and the varied beauty of the area. You have tremendous views of bluffs and mountains from inside a space that is simple and clean. Spend time out on the small porch just taking in the views or you can go for hikes directly from your place. I later learned that it is a clean/healthy house with no EMF, plastics or other unnatural substances. I think this is a real feature of the place and it made the experience that much more enjoyable. The kitchen had everything you need, it has a great table that serves well for eating and painting. And the upstairs loft for sleeping was a real creative use of the space. The host was very generous and offered great tips for hikes, shared background on the area and also made some excellent suggestions for places to eat. In short, if you're looking for a simple, quiet place where the natural beauty of the desert comes into view than look no further. I plan to visit again and hopefully, soon!
This tiny house is in a stunningly beautiful part of New Mexico. It has amazing views, and is extremely quiet. If you are looking for a place to rest and absorb the beauty of the desert, then this is for you. Harvey was an excellent host. I will definitely be back when I return to this part of the country
