DOROTHY BRETT’S HISTORIC FARM CABIN

The Dorothy Brett cabin is one of four built at the beginning of last century, originally for sheep herders. Both Aldous Huxley and D.H. Lawrence lived and wrote in these cabins. Dorothy Brett was a frequent visitor, and later Elizabeth Kubler Ross and Ram Dass stayed here. Dorothy Brett painted in this valley and was ecstatic to have sold a painting for three hundred dollars to a Mrs. Millicent Rogers. She was one of three, together with Mabel Dodge Lujan and Frieda Lawrence, as they formed the iconic figures that one of the early photographs depict.

This small yet well equipped log cabin, designed for 1-2 people, has a cozy and quiet feel. The small porch overlooks a flower garden and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The cabin is a one room efficiency/duplex with a full bathroom and kitchen. There is a wood burning stove and a heat pump for colder days.

Wake up to an early morning bird song and sit on the porch with a cup of coffee. For one or two, the quietude is all-embracing.

The Brett Cabin is located on a forty acre farm. Guests have access to the garden and the outside table, chairs, a hammocks (during warm weather) and a barbecue and a fire pit (only to be used with permission of the management due to the fire risk).

The cottage faces the Sangre De Cristo Mountains to the east, a communal area to the west and a large open field to the south where we grow corn and pumpkins. There is also an old apple grove in the middle of the field and you are welcome to taste the different apple varieties.

Close to the cabins is an open barn with tables and benches. Guests are welcome to use the barn for meals and its a wonderful place to watch the sun go down over the distant mountains. We have several vegetable garden in the summer. Guests are welcome to pick some veggies for some weeding. Please speak to the property manager.

We have a small play ground with swings and a slide. There are chickens and guests can feed them with table scraps (please no chicken or eggs, we don't want them to be cannibals) Be sure to close the chickens gate behind you, We have stray dogs in the valley that can harm our chickens. There is also an old rescue goat, Yoda, plus two alpacas, Albert and Allison. You are welcome to feed them, they love grass and also branches from the old Chinese Elm trees.

Interaction with guests depends on the privacy needs of the vacationers. We do arrange potlucks and dinners throughout the year for those who are socially inclined. Guests are also welcome to join us in the seasonal Trading Post cafe for breakfast with the wwoofers (willing workers in organic farms).
