Cliff River Springs

We love this place. It's quiet and serene, which is just the right speed for my husband and I. The beds are comfortable and the accommodations are well kept. There are hammocks and walking trails and a beautiful little pond. The sky is spectacular at night with very little light pollution.

My spectacular but I should have booked another month stay at the Cliff River Springs. I spent an incredible five weeks (04/01/2021 – 05/06/2021) in “Cliff Mid” casita on the Cliff River Springs property. I will start with the gracious manager, Hope, then the property, and finally the casita.

My five week stay was phenomenal because of Hope Atterbury. Hope’s kindness and attentiveness pierced through me from our first email correspondence to my last day. She responded to my emails quickly (I have a feature phone without vowifi but got good reception around the upper pond, the plaza, and the parking lot). Hope appropriately checked on my wellbeing without being annoying. During my stay I did not have a vehicle (I still don’t lol). Hope generously offered and picked up groceries from me whenever she went into town. Without her kindness, I would have been very hungry, but I still would have enjoyed the scenery and my casita.
The Cliff River Springs property is vast, varied, and vibrant. After my arrival, Hope showed me around the beautiful property; more importantly, she showed me the map of the property and the guide to the various trails and hikes on the property. During the first two weeks, I had an amazing time exploring the property and trails. Listening, feeling, smelling, and watching nature be reborn was peaceful and soul satisfying. After the weather warmed and I got some courage, I took several rejuvenating swims in the upper pond. Later on I found a distinguished, tremendous tree to share energy, practice yoga, meditate, and observe life near my casita (the tree is near the longest bench and valley overview area).
My casita, “Cliff Mid,” was quiet, charming, and cozy. “Cliff Mid” contained everything I needed to feel at home. It had great wifi, a full sink, refrigerator, dishes, salt, olive oil, various tea bags, tea kettle, soap, towels, a gas range and oven, a toaster, dining table, full size bed with a thick comforter, sofa, arm chair, bathroom, electric heat baseboards, yoga mat, books, pots and pans, spices, and hot sauce. My favorite part of the casita are the windows. There is one window in the front and three windows in the back of the casita. I love the refreshing air flow with all the windows open. Also being able to watch the birds, especially the humming birds, from the front window and listen to the stream from the back windows is spectacular.
One of the best parts of my adventure at Cliff River Springs were the moments I shared with the other guests and staff. I had different neighbors during my stay. Everyone had positive, calm aura; additionally, everyone was friendly.
Whether you come by yourself, with a friend, or with a bunch of family, you will enjoy the harmony and nature at Cliff River Springs. You will leave relaxed and happier (maybe a little sad leaving because you want to stay longer). I plan to return to Cliff River Springs to experience its magic during each season. I started in spring next is summer.

Watching hummingbirds and stars from the deck, jumping into the pond on a warm day, walking along the arroyo and riverbanks—yet, also an easy drive to both Santa Fe and Taos. The location alone is worth the stay, and all the warm, welcoming touches in the casitas make Cliff River Springs even more special. We’ll definitely be back to visit again!

Drop dead gorgeous location, fresh eggs, steel cut oats and golden raisins in the kitchen. Hiking out the front door, back door and off the deck. Need I say more? If so, please move on, nothing to see here other than heaven on earth.

Its a beautiful place to relax, hike or to sit outdoors and read. Cabins are beautiful! The owner, Hope, is a wonderful person. She even had fresh fruit and good breakfast food in the fridge waiting for us. My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay!
