Our Cabin in Pendaries is nestled "Behind the Mountains," as Pulitzer Prize winner Oliver La Farge puts it in his book so titled. A great mountain cabin and golf community set high in the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Valley of Rociada, New Mexico, awaits.

Rociada means "sprinkled with dew" and is the ultimate getaway for natural beauty, peace and tranquility. Just 90 miles and 90 minutes from Santa Fe, 60 miles from Taos, and 25 miles from Las Vegas, NM.

A short walk around a pond from the first tee, this large cabin (approx. 1850 sq ft) with high pine ceilings and stone fireplace is a great escape from city life. Golfers and non-golfers alike can unwind in comfort with all modern conveniences.

The split-level floor plan offers both space and separation. The two-story living room is the center of the cabin. An ample remodeled kitchen opens to a dining room and den and overlooks the living room. The large master suite (King Bed) has a private deck with tranquil view for relaxation. Two guest rooms one with full/twin bunk beds and the other has a queen bed. The bedrooms are separated by a full bathroom.

The Bonus room is on the opposite side of the house and has a queen-sized wall bed and futon bunk bed, mini-fridge and sink. This room serves as an extra bedroom or den. A full laundry room, gas BBQ, satellite TV, and wireless internet make this a true home away from home.

Outside, enjoy a beautiful log deck and views beneath the Ponderosa pines overlooking tranquil Spring Lake, a beautiful pond almost at your doorstep. Watch for deer in the evening.

Stroll down to the Moosehead Bar & Restaurant. Take a short hike right outside, or drive a short distance to explore the vastness of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Pecos Wilderness. Go fly fishing in the Rio Pueblo or Coyote Creek. Picnic at nearby Morphy Lake or right outside your door at Spring Lake.

Tour the Enchanted Circle of Northern New Mexico rich in beauty, heritage and culture. For a night on the town, or a day of shopping, visit the old Wild West town of Las Vegas, NM (30-minute drive).

The scenic golf course at Pendaries begins at 7,500 feet in the clear, fresh mountain air. The course plays 6,080 yards from championship tees and 5,060 yards from the forward tees. It has a fully stocked Golf Shop, Snack Bar, a modern fleet of golf carts, and a driving range. Golf course is open from April 15 to October 15.

During the Winter months the area is great for snow play, cross country skiing and downhill skiing at nearby Sipapu. Angel Fire and Taos Ski Valley are also within driving distance. Winter is a peaceful time in Pendaries and a wonderful Getaway.
