Luxury Desert Casita • Chiminea Nights • Views

Stay in a serene casita surrounded by the inspiring landscapes that shaped Georgia O’Keeffe’s art. Located just south of Ojo Caliente and a short drive from Ghost Ranch, this retreat offers effortless access to the area’s best hiking, hot springs, and high-desert beauty. With Ojo Mineral Springs only 14 miles away and dining within walking distance, it’s the perfect base for couples seeking both exploration and relaxation.
Step into a thoughtfully designed casita with an open floor plan and radiant-heated floors that keep the space warm and inviting on crisp high-desert evenings.

Cook at home in the fully equipped kitchen or take a short stroll to the acclaimed NOSA restaurant when you’re in the mood to indulge.

From your first coffee on the porch to the final glow of a desert sunset, this private retreat offers panoramic views and every comfort for a relaxed, elevated stay.

Guest access
Guests are welcome to wander the immediate area and enjoy the stunning sandstone cliffs, high-desert landscape, and the fresh smell of piñon in the air. Please be mindful of our neighbors and remain on the designated roads, as the surrounding land is privately owned.

Other things to note
PETS:
Dogs are welcome to join the adventure! There’s a $200 pet fee

Please keep pups off the beds and furniture

Remember to scoop the poop so the magic of the outdoors stays magical.

If your pup accidentally redecorates (chews, scratches, digs), damage fees may apply.

Dogs can’t host their own solo vacation — if you head out, they’ll need to be crated.

Don’t forget to add your dog to the guest list before check-in! Surprise pups will trigger a $250 “mystery dog” fee.

STEPS
Please be aware that there are several steps from the carport to the casita’s front door. Guests with mobility considerations may want to keep this in mind when booking.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Laurie's place. The view is lovely and the place is very relaxing. Upon check-in we ran into an issue but once we contacted Laurie, she ensured it was made right for us. She was communicative, professional, and ensured we were satisfied. We will be back at the Serene Ojo Casita again. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

The perfect escape from humid E Texas. Great weather. Coffee on the patio every morning in sweats and shorts after brunch. Lazy drive to shopping/dining (is NM doing a passive aggressive protest of TX speed limits?), so stock up since you won’t want to leave anyway. This house makes you want to rent it for a month and write your novel

Nice, relaxing getaway with great views

We really enjoyed staying here. Unique floor plan, a fully stocked kitchen, and beautiful views. Everything we needed was there. There was also plenty of firewood available (and I regret not using the fireplace - but if we would have used it, there would have been more than enough wood). Last but not least, check in and checkout we’re both very straightforward. If we visit this area again, I would definitely choose to stay here!

Northern New Mexico Charm

Had a relaxing private retreat in a charming, well-appointed casita with great views of Northern New Mexico landscape, skies, and birds. It is situated for easy day trips to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs and Abiquiu, NM. There are not a lot of dining options nearby so I brought my own food and ate in for the most part.

We work in a high stress real estate business, and this casita location was perfect! The house had everything we needed, and we only saw 2 other people the whole week we were there. We made a small fire every morning inside while we had our coffee, and then a small fire outside in the evenings! We will be back soon! Gorgeous views!!
