Studio Cabin Suite on Organic Farm Stay near Taos, New Mexico

WRITER'S FARM CABIN



With the Koi pond to the south and apple orchard to the north this offers you a quiet, luminous space. Cook your own puttanesca for something Italian or huevos rancheros made with the farm's own fresh ranch eggs, then borrow a book from the library or take a hike up Timber Canyon to the springs. Well-fed and robust, this is an ideal setting for both being active or simply relaxing and taking it all in.
