Before You Book

Where exactly are the cabins located?

All six accommodations are on the same 12-acre property at 2444 NM HWY 63 in Terrero, New Mexico — approximately 30 miles north of Pecos village, deep inside the Santa Fe National Forest. The property sits at 7,700–8,500 ft elevation, steps from the Pecos River and Cowles Ponds.

Can I book multiple cabins for a large group?

Absolutely. The entire property can accommodate large groups across multiple cabins. Contact us through Airbnb to discuss multi-cabin bookings for corporate retreats, family reunions, or wellness events.

Are pets allowed?

Pets are welcome at select accommodations with prior approval. Please message us through Airbnb before booking to confirm availability for your specific cabin and dates.

What is the road like getting to the property?

Crestview Cabin requires a truck or SUV via Pecos Lane — sedan guests park at the main property and take a short scenic walk. Aspen Elevated also requires a truck or high-clearance vehicle for the uphill approach.
