Recommended Lodging
Rancho Jacona
Escape to the glorious New Mexico countryside at this guest ranch, with 12 vacation rental casitas on a 17th-century estancia, or homestead. Located just 15 miles northwest of Santa Fe on the road to Los Alamos, 20 minutes from downtown Santa Fe, Rancho Jacona is a peaceful retreat. Your casita features rustic viga ceilings, a kiva fireplace and other elements of New Mexico style. Stay for a few days or for a while, as lodging includes well-equipped kitchens and laundry facilities.
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.
