Photos and Description of the Abiquiu vacation house rental 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 6

River Bend Casita ('small house') is set on a mesa near Abiquiu Lake, with spectacular 360-degree views of river estuary, cliffs and mountains in the high desert country of northern New Mexico. This new 2-bedroom, 1100-square foot house, finished July 2008, sits on 10 acres - remote, private, and extremely quiet. A hot tub sits by the private entrance to the master bedroom and to the front door. The star-studded sky makes a night soak a must; the 'milky way' earns its name as viewed from the hot tub. You can choose between two porches or 'portales' on which to dine, read, or just sit and gaze: to the west, you overlook the junction of two river estuaries, the Chama and the Puerco, extensions of Abiquiu Lake; to the east, the distant Sangre de Cristo Mountains. To the south sits 'El Pedernal,' the 9,600 foot, flat-topped mountain that Georgia O'Keeffe made famous in her paintings; to the north, the brilliant red cliffs of Ghost Ranch.

Scott, your house was the perfect antidote to a stressful week. Drinking coffee with a view of Pedernal was a fabulous way to start the morning. Sipping champagne in the hot tub under the stars was the romantic ending to the evening.

This Casita is absolutely lovely. Pictures are unable to do it justice. My husband and I spent New Year's here on a whim and absolutely loved it. The views from the casita are wonderful. The interior has been well decorated and is very comfortable and enjoyable. We're already eagerly anticipating our next trip!

Scott & Glynn,
What can I say? We drove up to the Casita at River Bend and when we walked in we immediately felt at home. The Casita is so tastefully decorated and comfortable. It had everything we could have wanted or needed for our three night stay. We enjoyed being able to have candlelight dinners using the candles you have available for guests use. Being able to soak in the outdoor hot tub at night under the stars was awesome. We did venture out and about during the day but couldn't wait to get back to the Casita to enjoy our home away from home...the spectacular views, the hot tub and all the comforts you make available to your guests. We sure do hope to be able to come back and stay sometime in the future.

Review Submitted: September 21, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
I stayed at the Casita with my dogs from the evening of August 31st until the morning of September 9th. I am a physical therapist at a very busy and hectic clinic in Los Lunas, New Mexico - I need to get away! I wanted a vacation away from all the stress and noise of a busy office. This was perfect! The house itself and all its amenities were perfect. I kayaked primarily in the Rio Chama and Rio Puerco estuary with access just 10 minutes from the house (must have an SUV if you want to get your kayak or canoe to the water). The views at and around the house were gorgeous all day long, even on cloudy days. At night you can even see the stars while lying in bed in the master bedroom. The most incredible thing is that if you visit Monastery of Christ in the Desert, Ghost Canyon, kayak the estuary all the way to where Rio Chama comes in and then get back to the house you can actually see ALL those places you visited from the house. Oddly enough, at home in Peralta, I wake up every day with some pains and aches in multiple body parts (too many injures from sports) that go away as I start moving around, but at the Casita I woke up every morning painfree! It could be the bed or perhaps the place. For those of you looking for a place to rest or do as much or as little as you can (run, road bike, mountain bike, boat, hike) this is the place. It has everything. For those of you who like to paint, write or do photography this too is the place. I left the casita rested, re-energized, inspired and with the desire to return as soon as it is possible; maybe even this winter. You can view my photos of this vacation but you’ll have to e-mail me as this does not allow me to post the site at imageevent dot com. — Thank you for providing this place to make my vacation as I wanted it to be.
