Vacation Rental Description

La Lomita is located on route US285 6 miles north of Española and 15 miles south of  
Ojo Caliente in the heart of beautiful northern New Mexico. It is an easy drive to Santa  
Fe, Taos, Los Alamos, Abiqui, Chimayó and Truchas and is a comfortable 2 hour drive  
from the airport in Albuquerque.   
 
Our adobe home is built at the foot of the Black Mesa and sits on 10 acres filled with  
juniper and piñon trees and desert flowers.  The greatroom looks out at the Jemez  
Mountains and the star-lit sky and full moon. 
 
* La Lomita, equipped with security system, features a modern, 
well-equipped kitchen which flows into a great room with magnificent 
mountain and mesa views. 
 
* Two bedrooms sleep four, one of which is large enough to set up a crib. Two single  
pull-out loveseats and a queen size sofa in the greatroom accommodate four more  
for sleeping. 
 
* Everything is on one floor, including the bathroom with a shower-tub 
combination, a laundry room and utility sink. 
 
* A porch stretches across the front of the house, and comfortable deck chairs  
provide a front row seat for spectacular sunsets and vigorous hummingbird watching. 
 
* The well, which is more than 400 feet deep, provides clear, crisp water. 
 
* La Lomita is heated by a clean-burning propane Dovre stove, an 
electric base board heater in each bedroom and, of course, by the sun 
warming the floors and adobe walls via the south-facing Trombe window 
panels. In the summer, the same adobe walls, with the help of ceiling 
fans, allow the house to maintain a comfortable temperature naturally.

Vacation Rental Amenities

Our home includes full appliances. A Dovre stove in the greatroom, electric  
baseboard heaters in the bedrooms and Trombe windows supply more than enough  
heat in the winter and the thick adobe walls and ceiling fans keep the house cool in  
the summer.

Activities and Attractions

Start your day on the porch of our solar adobe home by watching the 
sun creep slowly over the surrounding Black Mesa. Choose a different 
adventure and a different direction each day: 
 
* Enjoy the wide variety of restaurants in Española and vicinity, each 
with its own flavor of hospitality and taste. 
 
* Rejuvenate in the centuries-old mineral springs resort of Ojo 
Caliente, 15 minutes north of La Lomita. 
 
* Follow the Rio Grande 1 hour northeast to the famous ski slopes of 
Taos and visit its unique shops and restaurants. Don't miss the 
spectacular Rio Grande gorge–perhaps from your midnight hot air balloon! 
 
* One day isn't enough to spend in beautiful, historic Santa Fe, the 
highest capitol in the United States. Visit museums, 300 year-old 
churches, the town square with native artisans selling their wares 
and, of course, Santa Fe's wonderful restaurants. All this plus skiing 
and golf are only 40 minutes from our home. 
 
* Wind your way southeast to Chimayó and up the mountains. Follow the 
trail of weavings, jewelry, woodworking, pottery and tin, visiting 
families who have been carrying on these traditions for centuries. 
 
* Travel 20 miles to Los Alamos to climb ancient Pueblo cliff 
dwellings at the Bandelier National Monument, and re-live the WWII era 
at Ray Bradbury Museum. 
 
* Visit Abiquiu 15 minutes to the northwest. Abiquiu is home of 
Georgia O'Keefe, spectacular red rock mesas, the Echo Amphitheater and 
the Monastery in the Desert. If you have time, take an unforgettable 
mountain ride on the historic Cumbres-Toltec steam-powered train from 
Chama into Colorado.
