The Pecos River Cliff House – It’s Magical!

Welcome to the Pecos River Cliff House – a magical place where luxury meets wilderness. Located just 30 minutes from Santa Fe at the edge of the Santa Fe National Forest, this breathtaking cliff house towers 50 feet above the majestic Pecos River. Make yourself at home in the custom adobe house, where back bay windows provide a stunning view of the great beyond.


Embrace comfort and relaxation at every turn with upscale amenities that include hypoallergenic linens, top-of-the-line mattresses, and a stocked Keurig coffeemaker. The bathroom is equipped with an over-sized jacuzzi tub and a Mr. Steamer shower system so that you can clean off desert dust and unwind after a long day of adventure.


Whether you’re looking to unplug and explore or settle in for the night, there are infinite activities and entertainment options you can enjoy. Inside the air-conditioned house, we offer lightning-fast wifi and cellphone service, a Chromebook, a Bluetooth speaker system, and a ROKU Smart TV.



Walk down the 50-foot staircase and step into the cold water at the Pecos River’s edge. The exclusive resort is yours to explore with year-round trout fishing in the river, beginner rock climbing, a large meadow for picnicking and campfires, and 250 feet of private river access. Seasonally, a 40-foot waterfall complements the landscape neatly, itself complemented by a 50-foot cliff, like something out of a painting. The wildlife at Cliff House is abundant too, adding a touch of vibrancy to an already-vibrant property. If for some reason you find yourself wanting more, there are 1.5 million acres of pristine National Forest land just across the river. Let your wild side out, cruising around in the on-site Monster Jeep Wrangler, which is available for rent.



The Pecos River Cliff House is the perfect jumping-off place for every outdoor adventure. From the canyon to the redwoods, there are picture-perfect, once-in-a-lifetime sights all around you at The Cliff House. Adventure awaits.

If you REALLY want to get away...

We were looking for a quiet, off-the-beaten-path place to conclude our vacation. We hit the bullseye with the Pecos River Cliff Hiuse. It is beautiful, , spotlessly clean, and totally quiet. We couldn't recommend it more highly!

Amazing View

We stayed here for a week. The house is in the most beautiful spot. It is secluded and has everything you need. We didn't come at a good time for fishing, but my teenagers sure gave it their best efforts. We spent time in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos. New Mexico was good to us. Thank you for the wonderful house!

We love this place so much!

This was our 8th stay at Pecos Cliff House. It’s such a unique property with a very well stocked, beautiful home atop a cliff overlooking gorgeous scenery with the Pecos River running right through it. So much to see and experience in this amazing piece of paradise.

Beautiful cabin

The Pecos cliff house has an absolutely beautiful view ! The place was well kept and clean. A very responsive owner if you had any questions. We would definitely recommend renting the jeep for a few days it adds to the experience!👍

Best Views Ever

The views 360 around the house were amazing. Perfect area away from the hustle and bustle. Very beautiful and peaceful. Nothing like watching the sunrise over the distant mountains from the back patio. Best vacation ever.

Great time at Pecos Cliff House

This was our second stay at the Cliff House. We had a wonderful time again. The host is awesome-keeps in communication and answers questions quickly. This is one of those too good to be true kind of places. If you've never been, you're in for a treat.

Beautiful place. Get away from it all - literally. The back porch alone was worth the price of admission. Nothing like the sound of a river. We'll be back... Thanks for sharing this place.

Magnificent!

What a beautiful property! We had a spectacular stay, everything was wonderful. Thank you for the river tubes, kayaks, and canoe. We were so happy to be allowed to bring our fur babies. Robin, the host, was very communicative. We will stay again and again!

Views and great river access.

What a great stay! Host communication is perfect. The house is wonderful. We loved going to the river and hanging out. We had it totally to ourselves. The view from the house is amazing. Everything a person might need is there, right down to bug spray, a crockpot, fishing gear, foil, coffee, Tupperware. So nice. We were just 30 minutes easy driving by freeway to Sante Fe, which was an added bonus. We would stay again in a heart beat, if only we lived a bit closer.

A Peace of Heaven in San Jose, New Mexico

Their service level is top-notch, and beyond that, it's the details that make the difference. Hearing the river below & watching wildlife in abundance was soothing to the soul. The peacefulness, and quietness, & we enjoyed the rain as well. If one loves the nightlife there is Santa Fe about a forty-minute ride away. Thanks to you for all your efforts and the above-and-beyond assistance you provided during our stay. Much appreciated - and looking to another visit. God's Blessings
