Truth or Consequences Vacation Rental house

I've been to Elephante Butte Lake before with the family and camped on the sandy beach, but renting this place changed my mind about how to have fun at EB lake and the TorC area.

The house is located below the EB Damn Site on the Rio Grande River. A very cool area that I didn't realize existed until booking this rental. Across the street from the house is a neat little horse stable. Inside the house feels like you are on the water with the river running below the outside deck. The accommodations inside are spacious, comfortable and clean.

We spent most of our time, when we were at the house, on the back deck laughing, fishing and enjoying the perfect weather. Caught a few trout & catfish. A big advantage to renting this house is you can fish off the back deck and not have to spend time & money running around getting a fishing license for everyone. The place comes with several fishing poles too. We caught most of the fish with Hot Dogs we had with us.

The house has several inner tubes and a Raft which we used often to enjoy the river and lake. If you don't want to float downstream you can tie a line to shore and enjoy the cool water in place. About 100 yards downshore from the house is a small set of rapids which was neat to see and hear in the background.

EB lake is very close to this house. It took us less time to get to the Main marina at EB than some of our friends who have a house lakeside. Elephante Butte is a Large lake about 40 miles long. This house is located off the main recreational area of the Lake (Park, Damn Site, Golf Course, Marina, Beach area). I would highly recommend this house for access to Elephante Butte Lake because it is so close to everthing, has plenty of space to keep a RV or boat and it's not in the beach crowd, but still is on the water and close to everything.

If you rent this house or another house in the area, try to check out the the Mineral Hot Springs. I recommend Riverbend Hot Springs, which sits on the River about a mile downstream from this house. Riverbend Hot Springs has several pools of hot water at different tempertures and the view of the river from the springs is amazing. It also has a dock and access to the river. We rafted down to it from the rental house and found it very relaxing after the river ride.

TorC is the Villiage in the EB surrounding area with shops, restaurants and a SpacePort Richard Branson is building. We plan on checking all this out on our next visit
