Yurts At Hyde Memorial State Park
Connect with the heart of nature in Hyde Memorial State Park's ponderosa pine mountain forest, where three yurts provide a unique lodging experience that's rooted in an ancient nomadic tradition. Each yurt contains six single beds that can be grouped together in various configurations. Kick back in your outside activity area, with a fire ring, dining table and food safe, to keep the critters away. Vault toilets and water are just a short walk away.
Bobcat Inn
It can't get more romantic than this sweet bed and breakfast, set out in the country on 10 glorious acres. The spectacular views seem to go on for miles. By day, explore walking trails and relax in the courtyard with a koi pond and waterfall. By night, gaze into Santa Fe County's deep dark skies from your room with panoramic views. Once you've checked in to this authentically restored hacienda, you’ll never want to leave.
