Guest Casita

If you are interested in staying at the casita,
contact us at farsidefarm85@gmail.com.

Our guest casita sleeps two comfortably in the bedroom with queen size bed and can accommodate an additional child or adult in the loft. The cozy casita has a small living/kitchen area, a full bathroom with Mexican tile, and a separate bedroom. The loft is accessed through the bedroom.

The casita is screened from the main house and is oriented toward the gardens, fields, and vineyard. The flagstone patio with private hot tub and fire pit borders the acequia and looks out over farmland and down to the cottonwood trees bordering the river. A small bridge leads across the acequia toward the vegetable garden. Guests are invited to enjoy seasonal produce.

You can also walk the farm down to the Chama and enjoy the peacefulness of the river from the swinging loveseat in the screened gazebo.

Nearby the farm, hiking and riding trails lead to BLM and National Forest lands offering a variety of landscapes to enjoy — vast open mesas, arroyos to explore, pine forests, mountain vistas. Also nearby are the ruins of little-known old Indian settlements. Ojo Caliente with its fabled hot springs and spa facilities is a short drive from the farm.

Medanales is a small village with a Hispanic population and tradition just south of Abiquiu of Georgia O’Keeffe fame. The landscape varies from pastures to badlands, with the magic Cerro Pedernal and Sierra Negra on the horizon. Both can be climbed by the more experienced hiker.

Ghost Ranch and the wide and splendidly colored Piedra Lumbre basin are nearby, as is Plaza Blanca with its white sandstone formations. Espanola, the main town in this predominantly Hispanic area, is 15 minutes away. Quite a few interesting restaurants that serve local cuisine (with red or green chile!) can be found here.

“For Ang’s birthday, she requested that we get away to a 20-acre organic farm along a river in Abiquiu that our dear friends told us about. They had actually eloped there five years ago, and couldn’t stop raving about how peaceful and magical it was….We were not disappointed. This farm in Abiquiu really is a world of wonder, magic and serenity.  It is a world of topaz-blue skies melting into blood orange sunsets that slip into twilit indigo hues, before finishing off into an infinite starry night sky.”
