Spectacular Ranch Overlooking the Chama River at the Heart of Abiquiu
This is a gorgeous house perched above the Chama river on 22 stunning acres in the heart of Abiquiu. Surrounded by flower & herb gardens, fruit trees, an old growth "bosque," and beautiful views, this is a magical spot for personal relaxation, family reunion, group gatherings and celebratory events! The house marries old New Mexico charm, deep set windows, kiva fireplaces, antique and tribal furnishings, and original art work with modern comforts and conveniences throughout, including newly upgraded, high speed internet through Starlink. The garden areas adjacent to the house include an outdoor fire pit, herb and flower gardens, a grape arbor and plum, apple, pear and peach trees. The property also features an old growth cottonwood grove, beautiful river and mountain views, and direct river access. The ranch is located near the entrance to Plaza Blanca (or, the White Place, as Georgia O'Keeffe called it, ) and sits immediately across the Chama river from Bode's and the Abiquiu Inn. It is a magical spot for personal retreat, local exploration, family gatherings, celebrations and workshops! The main wing of the house includes three guest bedrooms, each with a private bathroom; a large living and dining room, a well stocked kitchen with an adjoining game area, a laundry/mud room and a screened sunroom with gorgeous views of the Chama river and the mountains that drew Georgia O'Keefe, among many others, to Abiquiu. (Upon request, the two king size beds in the main wing can be converted to 4 single beds.). A second wing of the house, off of the kitchen, includes two bedrooms, one with a king bed, the other with two single beds; a large, shared bathroom with double sinks, a bathtub and walk in shower; and, a cozy TV room with pull out queen sofa bed and wood burning stove. The house's deep walls, ceiling fans and cool Abiquiu nights make for lovely sleeping temperatures during summer months, and in the winter, radiant floor heat and several fire places keep the house warm and cozy. We permit a dog, but only with advance approval. Any dog that comes onto the property must be experienced and safe with ranch animals, as well as with people it doesn't know. The ranch makes for an extra special place for family gatherings and celebrations. Both are allowed on the ranch, however fees apply if gatherings will include more people than are part of the overnight guest party. The ranch is an amazing place for weddings! It can accommodate weddings up to 135 people. Booking the ranch for a wedding can be done directly with us (wedding venue fees will apply). Longer stays at the ranch, with reduced rates, are possible. Please enquire with us directly. Other things to know: - Rosy, our pony, and Paddy and Honey, two rescue horses, live in the barn along with Scully, a rescue cat. Our animals are friendly, however use of the barn and access to the animals is off limits to guests for safety reasons. The barn, outbuildings, corrals, and pasture areas are not included with the house rental. - River Access: guests are welcome to visit and play in the river from the property, however all do so at their own risk. Currents can be strong and we cannot vouch for the safety of playing in the river. - Wildlife: different kinds of animals (including coyotes), species of birds, reptiles (including rattle snakes) and insects live in abundance in this part of the world. There is exceptional natural beauty to be found here, both on the property and in nearby areas, but exploring the outdoor areas here is best suited for people who are comfortable with and love nature in all its manifestations.

We loved our stay in this elegant and comfortable home. Everything was as described. Brooks was a fantastic host who made us feel welcome and she was flexible with our arrival and departure time, which is always appreciated. The home was the perfect place for us to gather quietly for Thanksgiving and we enjoyed walking and hiking locally as well as the proximity to Santa Fe.The home had more than we needed, was well appointed, warm and comfortable. We hope to return one day!

Wonderful Choice
Lovely home in a beautiful place. We enjoyed the screened porch and the bedrooms with their own bathrooms were perfect for our 3 adult children and their partners. It was a great "home base" for visiting our friends in Abiquiu and at Ghost Ranch, shopping in Santa Fe, and hiking at Bandelier and in the Carson National Forest. We also enjoyed some quiet days doing art projects and birding around the house. A highlight was heading out to the road late one night to photograph the incredible night sky and catch a glimpse of the northern lights.
Brooks was kind and thorough in all communications and this home will be my first choice should we plan another family trip to Abiquiu.

Lives up to the hype!
We stayed at the ranch with two other couples and couldn't have found a better place for the kind of trip we had in mind. The house is beautiful, with each room offering a different kind of charm and lending itself to different activities. The land immediately around the house is lovely and well maintained. And then, when you are feeling adventurous, the larger property gives you the feeling of real New Mexico wilderness without being too overwhelming. We found the river to be refreshing and safe--a magical outing in the morning or later afternoon.
And the horses! We loved feeding them each day. Plus the ranch is in great proximity to a number of attractions--Georgia O'Keeffe's studio, Ghost Ranch for hiking, Taos and Santa Fe for day trips, and much more that we'll have to see on our return trip. Don't pass up this wonderful opportunity!

We had a great time staying at the property. Opening the front door was a minor issue, so I notified the owner. She was a pleasure to work with and responded to our inquiries promptly.

We loved the Casa de Milagros house! It was so comfortable, beautiful and welcoming. Our group of 6 had plenty of space so everyone could relax and breathe and just enjoy the beauty and expansiveness of it all. We could gather and cook together, have group conversations in so many bc settings, feed the sweet rescue horses and enjoy the lovely outdoors. The Chama River sparkled behind us and we were close to Bodes for anything c we wanted or needed! It was idyllic!

You won't regret booking Rancho Los Milagros!
We cannot speak highly enough of our stay at Rancho Los Milagros. It was the perfect reunion spot for a group of friends reconnecting from three different corners of the country.
We each had our own room with en suite bathrooms, which was so nice to retreat to at the end of the day to have a bit of privacy. Yet the common spaces were large and comfortable, which gave us plenty of space to spend time together. The house is exactly as pictured in the listing and even more beautiful in person.
Brooks is a communicative and kind host. Everything we needed was available at the house. There was plenty of firewood for the fireplaces, the kitchen had everything we needed, and basics like toilet paper and linens were well stocked. The heating system worked great, and we never had to adjust the temperatures. It remained comfortable through the snow as well as sunnier/warmer days.
Brooks provided us with incredibly detailed information about the property and things to do in the area, which we took full advantage of. It was so fun to feed Pepe and Rosie a carrot each morning and take a short walk around the property to get our day started.
This is a beautiful property and home to spend time with your people. I cannot recommend it enough, and we are already planning our next visit to Abiquiu! Thanks for an incredible vacation!

Return visit
The home was beautiful, the property spectacular, and Brooksany was a wonderful host. The house was spacious and comfortably furnished. Perfect for our children and grandchild; a great setting for all of us to get together and enjoy a mini-reunion and explore northern New Mexico. The kids loved feeding the animals and playing in the nearby river. The kitchen was well-equiped. It was easy for us to stay home and cook or go ou to eat. We loved being able to eat in either the screened garden room or large dining room. There was more than enough space to read quietly or gather to talk. The beautiful garden areas around the house were perfect for walking. Finally, art works by local artists and craftspeople were placed throughout the home to add a touch of elegance. The instructions on how to operate all the appliances, gates, and accessories were clear and concise. Brooksany’s suggestions on places to eat and how to get around the area were perfect. We loved our visit, to put it simply.

Superb!!
The house and property at Rancho Los Milagros is the best VRBO any of us in our group had ever experienced. The host Brooks was incredibly communicative, helpful, and responsive when we reached out with questions. The house is pure magic with natural light and glowing walls, comfortable beds and textiles, and thoughtfully curated art and elements of history from across space and time. The kitchen window and back patio overlook the river - the cottonwoods were glowing with baby spring green leaves. A small group of us visited for a 5 day painting retreat and left feeling rested, joyful, rejuvenated. We would love to come back to this wonderful home - thank you Brooks!

Vacation here NOW!
I believe this is the first review I have ever done. Previous rentals have been great, but this stay was so far above others I have visited. First and foremost, Brooks the owner, was AMAZING every step of the way. Every time I needed to reach out before, during and after the stay there was an immediate response. I've never experienced anyone take such good care of their guests. Even to the point where she knew I was working during the entire week awhile my family explored and she installed a higher speed internet earlier than planed just so I could have a more efficient week! The house was immaculate. The description online is perfect. Have a break by the fireplaces, walk down to the river, have a visit with the horses and the burrow, it's all there. And so close to ghost ranch.
Rent this place now. you won't regret it.
