Petite Log Cabin on Organic Farm in New Mexico

Description

The starlit skies stilled the man's soul. Even today, as then, the constellations are here for the picking in the indigo nights and in the exchanges with the dawn and daylight colors. Kick back by the pot belly stove, listening to the night sounds of wood burning, cook a delicious farm to table meal, or take a long soak in the cedar hot tub.

The D.H. Lawrence cabin is a furnished one room 325 sq ft efficiency/duplex with a kitchen, queen size bed, full bathroom and comfortably sleeps two. A wood fire stove, electric heat pump or alternatively a gas stove, will keep you warm during cold nights.

The cabin is a studio and can sleep two people in a queen bed.

We do have a small farm cafe, generally opening on Memorial Day and closing on Labor Day. We also serve pastries, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, yoghurt, berries and fritata for a suggested donation.
