About this property

Awe inspiring views overlooking the Chama river valley, iconic Pedernal. Cozy.

Casita de Chuparosa is where the High Desert meets the Rocky Mountains! Incredible 360 views of the Chama river valley on a spacious 15 acre property. Iconic Pedernal, Georgia O'Keefee's mountain muse is in full view from the bedroom and porch, especially stunning when silhouetted by evening sunset. The casita is in a quiet area with some geological and cultural wonders nearby, such as the Puye cliff dwellings, Ghost Ranch, Christ Church in the Desert, Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu Lake and others.The two bedroom casita is well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Artistic and clean. For fifteen years the casita has been hosting travelers who love it.

The Casita is the north wing of the owners home (private, separate entrances and a double sound insulated wall between the casita and main house). It is a recently updated two bedroom space with a fully equipped kitchen. A large fireplace sits at the foot of the bed in the main bedroom, and stunning views of mountains and canyons can be seen from both bedrooms. There is a gated patio off the main bedroom with a large table and seating. There is also an outdoor fireplace for your use. A guitar and keyboard can be found in the main bedroom closet for guest use and bookcases full of eclectic works across all disciplines are ready to be taken up by a cozy fire or outside in the sun. The living room is complete with a smart TV, desk, and external monitor stashed away in the closet for use if needing to work during your stay ( there is strong wifi signal).

Also, we have a full service media studio available. Multi-camera and audio, documentary style or pod-cast. Call us for rates and availability. Record your life- story for your children or grandkids.

Doorstep of the Chama River area

The Chama River Wilderness Area, Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, Abiquiu Reservoir, Pedernal Cerro and the Santa Fe & Carson National forests are all within easy reach from Lauren's casita. We are hikers and the casita more than fit all of our needs. We would rather spend the time exploring the region than commuting back and forth to Santa Fe. This region is rugged country and the casita met all of our expectations and needs - quiet, comfortable and the ability to relax in the shadow of this scenic and special area of New Mexico.

Perfect Getaway

Casarosa was the perfect escape. The property and view are unmatched. Just minutes from the Georgia O’Keffe Museum this is the ideal location for an artists retreat. There were plenty of places for me to write including a private backyard patio with a fire pit! I had the most relaxing weekend and will definitely be recommending this space to friends! I would warn anyone that the driveway is very uneven but it could be due to spring rain and washout.

Yes, we will return!

This small treasure was a perfect compliment to Abiquiu's grounded,spectacular landscape. The casita's interior is well equipped for cooking . The living room is an invitation to be in company. The library reflects the owner's excitement for discovering the riches of the Abiquiu history( Georgia O'keefe, picture books, history). The small enclosed patio has gathered in small local environmental finds. This is a place to wander out into landscape and return at the end of the day to consider beauty and presence.....
