Beautifully appointed home in a scenic, secluded setting
Two friends and I stayed at La Casita Tranquila for 3 days as our base for exploring the area around Abiquiu. The house seemed to have been recently remodeled (probably around and added to an old adobe home) with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was equipped to meet every cooking need. The living room, bedrooms and bathrooms were newly furnished. A real treat for us (that you don't find in many rental places) was the large areas outside the house, all enclosed by by walls. There were numerous places with outdoor furniture to sit and read and look at the surrounding cliffs and hills dotted with pinon trees. There is also a little cabin with whimsical things inside that guests had added. The Casita is actually located in a tiny village, Canones, where some families have probably owned property for centuries. It is a 15-minute drive from the highway, but we enjoyed the scenic drive back and forth. The surrounding area includes Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, a great ice-cream shop, and stunningly beautiful cliffs and geologic formations. We would definitely rent the Casita again for another visit in the future to this magical area of New Mexico.
