About this house rental
La Lomita is located in the area where La Familia Valdez has a 300 year history. La Lomita was conceived, designed and built with hospitality and spirituality in mind. It is a place of healing and rest, of relaxing and dreaming, of renewal. It holds mystery in the howling coyotes, the whispering junipers, the shifting arroyos, and the colorful wildlife. Bienvenidos! Nuestra casa es su casa.
Read our wonderful reviews and let our many guests describe the La Lomita experience. (See review section)
Nestled into the Black Mesa, La Lomita is the hub surrounded by Abiquiu to the northwest, Ojo Caliente and Taos to the north, Chimayo to the east, and Española and Santa Fe to the south, all with local art and food just 10 to 55 minutes away. It is 12 miles from the relaxing mineral springs and spa at Ojo Caliente, and 30 minutes from Los Alamos and Bandalier National Monument.
The spectacular Santa Fe Opera is 30 minutes away, as is its neighbor, the Santa Fe Flea Market with treasures made by 'artesanos' from Mexico, Guatemala and other native areas (open in Spring and Summer).
On the way to Taos, via the High Road through Truchas or the route along the Rio Grande through Velarde with the Black Mesa Winery, you will find beautiful scenery and native Hispano-made tin work, retablos, santos, and weaving from traditions begun hundreds of years ago.
River rafting in the Rio Grande or floating over the river gorge in a hot air balloon, are adventures waiting for all ages, as are the ski trails and golf courses, all in close proximity to La Lomita.
Stay at home and climb the Black Mesa, part of our 9 acre 'back yard', and if you reach the top (about 45 minutes of spectacular climbing), wander across the top of the Mesa and see the Rio Grande flowing below. Or grab your easel and paints, camera or writing pad, and capture the breath-taking, mountain scenes all around you. Need to relax? Try tai-ch, yoga or gentle walking around our juniper, piñon and desert-flowered landscape, and let the many visiting songbirds lull you into a peaceful siesta.
Keywords: On 9 acres, solar adobe home with covered portal (porch) facing the Jemez mountains, designed with quiet and the spiritual in mind. The terrain, including the mesa high above the house, suggests privacy. ¡Se habla español!

Great accommodation - this is the second time I stayed and was just perfect. Very responsive host.

Carl and Gretchen not only have a beautiful home. They have it well stocked and super clean. They communicated with us prior to our visit, and we were also blessed to meet Carl while we were there. He made us feel as though we had visited our own family homestead. What a joyful experience.

This place is beautiful. Every time we walked into the living room we were struck in awe of the windows...it is a live landscape that is stunning.

La Lomita has skyrocketed to the top of our all-time favorite vacation-rental homes. We absolutely loved this place. With two bedrooms, two baths and a spacious, open kitchen/dining room/living room area, in addition to our favorite room - the front porch - the home made all three of us feel free and at home. The kind, generous spirit of the owners permeates this residence. Never before had we found so many useful things in the cupboards, closets and drawers; we had everything we needed and far more. This truly is a home and definitely not just another extended-stay structure. La Lomita is surrounded by a vast, beautiful, natural area that we spent many hours exploring. The location put us to within an hour of many sites we visited: Los Alamos, Santa Fe (we especially liked the Botanical Garden), Ghost Ranch (the 90-minute Georgia O'Keefe bus tour was great), Rancho de Chimayo (a long-time favorite of ours for New Mexican food), and the New Mexico Wildlife Center in Espanola. Thanks to the owners' recommendation, we discovered Socorro's, a small restaurant just down the road. The food their is superb, the ambiance warm and friendly, and the prices reasonable. We are grateful to the owners for an unforgettable, wonderful week.
