About this house rental
Evidenced by the photography, narratives and passion of companion properties listed on this site- and seared into the American imagination by the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe- the Piedra Lumbre basin captivates; a thin place. From the edge of a mesa, Casita á Medida surveys it all: red cliffs forming Abiquiu Lake to the East, Ghost Ranch expanding to the North, Chama River Valley to the West and El Pedernal dominating the horizon to the South. Filling between are the ranges of Sangre de Cristo and the Jemez, Santa Fe National Forest and Kit Carson National Forest. And dark sky nights.
To experience this area takes time, a lifetime pursuit of many. Days of hiking, fishing, boating, rafting, discovering petroglyphs, searching for fossils/ historic remnants; trips to Santa Fe, Taos, Ojo Caliente, Navajo Lake, Heron Lake, Chama, Pagosa Springs, Silverton and Durango, CO. Casita á Medida is designed with the long stay in mind. Built in the spirit of Northern New Mexico with deep deference to the surrounding landscape, Casita á Medida is a compound style retreat with one building housing dual master suites and another the great room, forming a protected patio third living space. The vast windows frame the art listed above (follow the changing forms of El Pedernal while preparing dinner; overlook the serenity of Ghost Ranch as you relax in the soaking tub). Inside melts to out. Designed to be completely off-grid, the site also features sustainable design such as passive solar mass, solar heat-boost for the domestic hot water and radiant floor heat, as well as gray watering, rain catchment and Holzer spirited permaculture supporting landscaping designed to further the circle.
With dual master suites (featuring a King and Queen or Queen and two twins) and a separated great room/kitchen structure, Casita á Medida can be modified to meet the needs for your stay. Allow yourself the time to be able to appreciate the experience. Allow yourself permission that the enjoyment - and biggest achievement- was that the day was.

We stayed at this property 10 years ago and were delighted to pay another visit. We love these mesas and this particular location is a stunner. The well-designed two-part residence is great for two couples with different schedules. There were lots of condiments and pantry items from previous guests (though one would have to guess about the age of some of them). Some correctable issues: I had to ask for entry instructions with less than 48 hrs before our arrival. There was no manual with instructions for TV, things to do, checkout info. The kitchen appeared clean, but roaches ate through plastic bags of dry goods leaving lots of poop all over. Battery-operated things (DVD player, window shades) had dead batteries (none on site); a bedside light needed a new bulb; working the lock on the French doors was hit and miss; no basic tools to make small fixes; one of the mattresses in the twin bed room is totally shot. The worst thing was that the interior doorknob to the bedroom was sitting on the counter inside the door. The first person in closed the door and couldn't get out without someone opening it from the outside (fortunately we didn't all go in together!). We had to tape the latch in so it wouldn't engage, and then keep locking and unlocking the door so the wind didn't blow it open.Clearly the knob hadn't worked in a while, and the last person who left the house would have known it was inside and unattached to the door. Very hard to understand why this hadn't been fixed.

3rd time going and will go again! It’s our “home away from home”. Beautiful scenery abounds in cozy home . If you are looking for peace and quiet this is your place. Would stay forever if we could. The home owners are always available if and when needed. If I could give it 10 stars, I’d give it 11.

The property views are stunning and beautiful. However, the property does not have air conditioning and it was 90 degrees inside the home when we arrived. Tried to cool the main home down with the ceiling fan and cross breeze with open doors without success. Tried to cool the separate bedrooms down with 2 fans found in the closets. Again, no success. After an hour it had only come down to 88 degrees in the main house. My friend and I left due to the heat after verifying with the owner that indeed, there was no air conditioning. We were on the property less than 2 hours. We did not stay at the property due to no air conditioning and my friend having a medical condition that was exacerbated by heat making it unsustainable for us. My fault for not verifying that there was air conditioning for the summer month (last week in June). Views were amazing.
