Absolutely wonderful

These are phenomenal people running a very special little place. We loved it here. It’s serene. It’s fun. It’s peaceful. It’s shockingly clean given that it’s largely an indoor/outdoor type of stay arrangement. Clean outdoor bathrooms and showers. Plenty of hot and cold running water. Soap, towels, you name it. Just really excellent hosts. You won’t regret staying here! We are SURE to be back and we are grateful to have found it. Thanks Roberta and Gregory!

stayed warm

The tree house is super cute and comfortable. Gregory was very friendly and gave us a tour upon arrival. The bedroom is on one side of the building and the kitchen and dining area is outside on the other side of the building. The bathroom is down a path a little distance. Everything is well lit though. The bedroom is open air with a half wall all around it and shades that mostly close off the top half. Everything is fully covered. It was a chilly night when we were there, but there were plenty of blankets to stay warm. We would stay here again!

What a great place to stay! It was serene and very quaint. The directions were great, easy to find. Gregory met us when we arrived and showed us around. We loved the tree house. Very relaxing. The outdoor shower was great! The tree house bed was very comfortable. We had a perfect night to sleep outside. We had been visiting for the Balloon Fiesta ... just one night. Left early to get to the early morning activities. Great location.

The Chi Tree House was a beautiful place. The tree house was so cute. The grounds we amazing. We had a wonderful time exploring the orchard, vineyard, yoga area, and swing on the property. It is a peaceful sanctuary. The host Gregory gave us a tour and answered our questions promptly via text. We can not wait to go back.

Great hosts! Beautiful property and grounds. The Treehouse unit was beautiful. Glamping is the appropriate adjective - it's a true treehouse. Great style, a bit rough around the edges as it should be. Loved that it was in the low 40s at night which kept the treehouse cold enough to snuggle under the ample blankets. every thing we needed was provided. The outdoor shower was brilliant!

Cozy and quaint.

It’s just like sleeping in a tree house as a kid but with Wi-Fi and power! Kitchenette was perfect for our needs. It’s glamping so still bring your camping gear as mine did come in handy for certain things. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Like a tree house, back to nature!

Definitely rustic, peaceful outdoor surroundings. Outdoor kitchen is well supplied. A nice place to rest every evening from all the outdoor adventures we had during the day. The local restaurants have a great selection of wonderful food. The raised sleeping area is like a tree house of sorts, can't stand up in it, so you have to have some "youngin" left in you to stay here.

What a treat!

We stayed over on a burning hot day in the middle of July. The night was blanketed in stars and the temperature dropped to a chill that made our open air lodging a pure delight. The treehouse is well appointed. Gregory and Robbie are charming and well-informed hosts. Highly recommend!

Uniquely comfortable.

The property has several options, for guest experiences. We choose the tree house because it appeared to be the most unique. The yurt looked amazing as well. Very private and we felt completely safe. The owner greeted us and insured we had everything we needed. Nice outdoor sitting area, kitchen, bathroom near by. I would recommend it for folks that like glamping. If you are not as comfortable in the open air, pick the yurt or one of the houses!

Unique, cozy, and all around amazing

This property was so unique and fun to stay at. A relaxing get away with privacy, fun and personal twists around every corner. From the yoga deck to the vineyard, it is so clear how much love and passion Greg and Robbie put into this property; with no details left unfinished. I definitely hope to come back! Also be sure to do some stargazing from the swings, the view was so vast and clear and really unlike anywhere else.

A small slice of paradise!

My wife and I absolutely loved this place! It’s everything that we’d hoped and more. It’s has nice little kitchen area that has basically everything you could need and a quaint little sitting area for breakfast. The fire pit is set up for grilling which we took full advantage of. The facilities are fully stocked and well kept. The bed is surprisingly comfy and it comes with a warmer that makes it cozy even on colder nights. The management are friendly and easy going. Beautiful sky. Beautiful mountain scenery. We honestly could not have had a better experience.

Amazing place for nature lovers.

If camping is your thing then you will absolutely love staying here. Hosts were friendly and helpful and overall experience was 5 stars. I highly recommend the tree house for people who love nature. I will definitely stay again when I'm in New Mexico. Did I mention 5 stars? Let me say it again, 5 star camp out experience. Loved it.

Why they chose this property

The Sunny Mellow Eco Villa Story...

What makes this property unique

The Sunny Mellow Eco Villa Story

The serendipity of Sunny Mellow began with the name... Our daughter Elliott Marie penned a fantasy story in the 4th grade. In checking it for errors, I noticed the name of her fantastic Land with "Sunny Mellow". We had just purchased the first half of the property when I asked her if we could use her Sunny Mellow Name for our new home. "Sure Daddy" she replied. "It will help keep our home safe and alway happy and fun", she continued. "There are not many places were the Sun rises in the East end of the canyon and sets in the West", she though with her eyebrows! "And we need a name that makes everyone smile", she exclaimed! "Oh Daddy". Elliott whispered now... "I Love My Sunny Bedroom at Sunny Mellow"!
