The property has a keypad lock that allows you to come and go without having to worry about keys. Each guest is provided a unique code during their stay for enhanced security.

Step into the Southwest with Saltillo tile, traditional viga beams, and locally inspired artwork throughout. Relax and unwind with:
- Queen-size memory foam bed with down pillows and premium sheets - Wood-burning fireplace for cozy evenings - High-speed WiFi and streaming TV (Hulu, Netflix, Max, Disney+) - Kitchenette with mini fridge, tabletop oven/air fryer, coffee maker, electric kettle, and basic spices - Private balcony with bistro seating and an outdoor daybed perfect for stargazing and enjoying stunning Rio Hondo River Valley views
Inside, a leather couch invites you to lounge in front of the fireplace, and a sliding glass door with screen provides fresh airflow during warm summer nights.
From road 150 headed towards the canyon turn (sharply) left onto road 230. Follow 230 until you see the 'Hacienda del Valdez' sign on your right. This is a dirt road and 4-wheel drive is required.

Your studio is one of the three located inside.
