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.

Fishing, Canoeing, Rock Climbing, Nature, Hiking, Exploring, Off Roading, Bird Watching, Swimming, Tubing, Kayaking, Horse Shoes & much more

Perfect escape from reality

Love this property. It is out there, so be prepared for a drive, but that's what we were looking for! The silence and peace of the mountains, and having no one around, were just perfect for a relaxing holiday!

Perfectly peaceful and precisely perfect

This vacation home is incredible and the owners should give a master class on what it takes to be the perfect venue and host. Every single need and want has been thought about and addressed in the most succinct way possible. From the website to the guest guide book to the labels and notes we never wondered where anything was or what the expectation was. It is an incredibly peaceful property with the home sitting above the river. The sound of the water immediately de-frazzles you and the numerous water activities insures endless opportunities for fun. We fished and looked for rocks and the kids climbed around the rocks. If it had been warmer we would have canoed the river or floated down the river in the inner tubes. Absolutely everything is provided including fishing gear and tackle. The home is elegant and modern without ever feeling stuffy or uncomfortable. This home is the perfect example of the goal of every item having it's designated place. I actually took some notes on how I can better organize my home. The steam room and Jacuzzi bathtub were just the additional water therapy we needed. One of our travelers has had some health issues and is unsteady on their feet. I was concerned about the 50ft staircase but once again the hosts have done everything right. The staircase was easy to navigate and the individual stairs were perfect depth and the rise was not too high. They even have rope handrails to assist with walking over some uneven ground. We had zero problems.

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!

Wonderful Location

The pictures accurately show the location and environment of the house. It is really a wonderful place to stay for a few days and get away from the real world. The river can be heard from the house and the bedroom has a massive four panel patio door opening to the outside so we left the door open and only closed the screen at night to be able to hear the river. The house is equipped with everything you will need and our host provided all the information we needed to both navigate the area and use the facility. The area at the river is completely private and well shaded. There are floats and canoes to use in the river and a picnic table and other seating at the river's edge. Overall a fantastic place away from it all.

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!

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

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.

Best vacation ever

Wife and i were there first week in August. I haven’t entered my review mainly due to inability to put the experience into words. We kept pinching ourselves to make sure it wasn’t a dream and that we were really there. The house itself is awesome and perfect in every way. The view was incredible along with the solitude never turned on TV. Never turned on music turned off our phones and simply enjoyed the natural setting. Looking forward to another trip Definitely worth it

This is an outstanding property. We always look for unique private locations and this was it. Makes you feel like you are the only people around but yet easy access to the interstate. Views were gorgeous. Nice outdoor spaces. Area by river well kept. House was perfect. By far the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. Literally only need to bring your clothes and food. Host was very responsive and helpful. Needs more than 5 stars!!!

Perfect Getaway Spot!

This place is truly breathtaking! Very clean, well stocked with all you could need including, extra fishing rods, gear, life jackets, kayaks, roll away bed, fans and the list goes on. Owner is great at keeping in communication and was very helpful in giving us fishing tips. Majestic views and just a short walk down some stairs to a huge natural picnic area right along the rivers edge. Picnic benches and firepit make this a great area to lounge while fishing. There are also some great trails to explore along the rivers edge. We will definitely be making our way back to this fantastic place if they will have us again!
