About this property

Selah House 'Great for Family Ski Trips!'

Selah House
Welcome to “Selah House,” a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom multi-level mountain home tucked away in the trees close to Monte Verde lake and just minutes from Angel Fire Ski Area. This home sleeping 8-12 is ideal for groups of skiers and snowboarders, families looking for a private place with access to a variety of activities, or anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in the trees.

Location
Although this house sits snugly in a forest of evergreens and aspens, it is easy to access from the main highway for any vehicle (no 4-wheel drive required). It is less than a ¼ mile from Monte Verde Lake, 2.5 miles from Angel Fire Country Club and Golf Course, and 3.5 miles from the ski area with a variety of shopping and restaurants.

The Great Room
Enter through the front door into a tiled entryway, perfect for storing skis and snowboards, before ascending into the beautiful great room. This large living area boasts a vaulted, wood-beamed ceiling, large windows with views of the forest, a stone fireplace enclosing a wood-burning stove, and plenty of seating. It is connected to a full kitchen and dining area that seats up to 14 comfortably and provides access to a spacious deck suitable for viewing stars or wildlife. Alternatively, stay inside and view the game on the 60-inch flat-screen TV.

The Bedrooms
Upstairs, the master bedroom features vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings, large windows looking into the trees, a king size bed, and a recently renovated bathroom with a walk-in shower. The three downstairs bedrooms, share a recently renovated bathroom. The larger of the rooms has a king size bed and also has a sturdy set of wooden bunk beds. The other two bedrooms each have a king size bed. Fold-down couches in the great room provide two additional full-sized mattresses. There is a new full bath with tub on the mid-level for our renter's convenience.

Kid and pet friendly
The downstairs bathroom features a “potty-training” toilet seat, a bathtub with a removable shower-head, and a stepping stool for little legs. Upstairs in the great room, use the provided baby gates to create a safe play area for toddlers, or head into the yard where you’ll find ample play space among the trees and a small personal sledding hill at the back of the property (sleds provided).

Spring Break

Overall it was a nice experience. Owner was kind enough to allow 15. It worked out perfectly for our group. Nice & cozy. The wildlife was phenomenal for the kids. The walk to the lake was ideal after a full day at the slopes. We would stay again.

Not a good place for toddlers

Place was really clean,good beds but the levels were hard with a toddler. The gates provided weren’t very good. The heat was challenging. Overall with older children it would be fine. There needs to be tv’s is every bedroom and the bunk beds were very unstable.kids had to sleep on the couch and pull a mattress out in the living area.

great use of space

this was a great set up for our family..the 3rd bathroom was the best addition to this house. the large living room and dining/kitchen area was perfect for us to keep track of the 5 kiddos while preparing meals or playing games. the extra table and chairs were handy but not in the way. very cozy and well appointed but not so fancy we were afraid to let the kids be kids. really cant tell all the great things about this property as i would be here all day. matt was responsive, directions are clear and easy to understand in the helpful binder left there. my 10yr old niece wrote the sweetest note that said it best; WE LOVED OUR SELAH STAY!

Fully Stocked

This property had everything! The beds were comfortable and I appreciated the drawers in the bedroom. I was able to unpack and not try to live out of a suitcase. The kitchen had all of the essentials and almost every spice making cooking easy. The deck was a really great place to sit in the mornings and have coffee and in the afternoons just to hang out. Our littles loved the books. The location is nice and remote

Rustic Mountain Cabin

The Selah House is a true family cabin with plenty of space to sit, play games, watch movies, and relax on the patio. The kitchen was well stocked with all you need to cook for a big family. Our favorite moments were watching the kids play in the forested area outback, building forts, while the adults relaxed on the porch and watched the birds at the feeders. We also enjoyed the location. The cabin is a short walk to the lake and the nearby trails. We plan to return for future trips to Angel Fire!

Enjoyable Getaway

We were so happy with the accommodations. We were a group of nine. I was unsure about the kitchen having all of the kitchen utensils and appliances to accommodate making the sides for a Thanksgiving meal, but we had everything we needed! The entire home was well furnished, clean and comfortable. We loved having access to snow sleds, making for a fun afternoon in the new snow. Plenty of games, books and movies. This is a great place for families of all ages! Thank you to the hosts for making the home a cozy temperature upon our arrival!

Great place and location

We stayed here during a family reunion that was at another cabin. This was the perfect quiet place to retreat to for the little ones naps. Everything was exactly at advertised. The ONLY thing that needs to be done is to take a hose or power washer to the baby high chair. It really needs a good cleaning. Everything else was perfect. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Mattay

Host profile image
Hi, we're Mark and Lynn from the Dallas TX area. We've been visiting Angel Fire for 19 years. All four of our kids learned to ski there. And all of those years we've been renting.

About 10 years ago we started praying and saving for a house in Angel Fire NM to share with our family, friends, missionaries, and others in ministry. Our dream became reality July 2013. Selah House is a place to pause and rest, to regroup, and we hope, to laugh, and to play - maybe even launch an adventure. Stay at Selah House and leave a review. Include a few smiles :) We hope you'll do a lot of smiling while you're there.
