About this property

Beautiful Rustic Cabin Right on the Pecos River.

This 19th Century mountain cabin which sets right on the Famous Pecos River in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Tererro, NM. The Cabin has been studied, dated, and is one of the three original homesteads on the property. This is a true historic site built by my great grandfather in 1867 & maintained by descendants of the original family for seven generations one of the last three original homesteads on the property. The cabin has a kitchen, and dining area with seating for 6. There is one bathroom and one bedroom with a comfy queen bed along with a cozy sitting area. There is one rollaway twin bed. We are pet friendly. There is a $50 fee for each pet you bring. This is an outdoors enthusiasts dream come true. Start by waking up early and having your coffee on the river patio right at your front door, enjoying the view of humming birds, mule deer and turkey moving through the river banks. Enjoy some of the best fly fishing in the world for Rainbow and German Brown trout without ever needing to go more than just a few feet on your own private section of the river. Later before lunch comb the area for arrowheads, fossils, turquoise and silver. The small now ghost town of Terrero was made famous as a busting mining town in the days of the old west. The original mine sets less than a half mile from the cabin across Hwy 63 from the entrance to property. After cooking some of those fresh cold water trout for lunch take a hike up the canyon in the middle of the Sante Fe National Forrest to see elk, eagle, deer, turkey, chipmunk and other wildlife. If the quiet seclusion is too much don’t worry, the town of Pecos is only about a 25 minute ride through the beautiful river canyon. The old Tererro General Store is closed due to Covid. I’m not sure if or when they will reopen. Here you can enjoy other amenities like horse back riding, guided pack tours, and for the sportsman out there guided elk, deer, longhorn sheep and bear hunts. Be sure to check out the Tererro General Store's Facebook page for activities and other amenities. For a more vibrant experience head to the historic town of Sante Fe which is about a 45 minute ride south where you will experience excellent southwest cuisine inspired by native chilies harvested from the area as well as native southwestern art, and heritage. The town also receives its fair share of entertainers from local bars to large scale concerts. Be sure to hit Jacolopes on Cerillos for great souvenirs and the Native Market at 'Old Towne' for authentic southwest jewelry, and art. After a day in town come back to a quiet evening, start a fire in the pit and enjoy the clearest sky you will ever see. The stars are countless and the evening air is cool, just like the perfect fall night, but in summer. At last you will be rocked to sleep by the sound of the rushing river outside. A true paradise awaits you. For interesting reading on the area be sure to look up “Pioneers of the Upper Most Pecos”, and “Beatty's Cabin”.

Peace in the Mountains

This is a wonderful spot high in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains but still close enough to civilization. Sondra is a wonderful hostess who answered any question we had. This is the place to get back to nature.

Beautiful, peaceful get away!

We absolutely loved this beautiful get away! If you want to have a peaceful relaxing trip, this is it. The river is right out your door! The area is well kept and such a great view in all directions. The cabin has all you need. My husband caught 6 fish! It is comfortable and we loved the wood stove in the evening. Our host was so kind and helpful. It is now our favorite place, we will be back!!

The River of Relaxation

We loved the location, seclusion, and the sound of the river. The fishing was good. The cabin was rustic and has a few things that need attention, but it had everything we needed for cooking. The host was gracious and was basically invisible unless we needed something. We would definately come back.

Decompression, Beauty, and Peace

We were looking for a quiet place to spend a few days on the front end of a two week trip. Instead of leaving work stresses and jumping straight into sightseeing/vacation to-dos, we wanted to relax, read a book or two, fish for dinner, breathe mountain air. This cabin met our needs perfectly! The only thing that would've made it better is being completely remote. However, we neither saw, nor heard anyone else except for the river, deer, turkeys, a coyote, many birds, and a few fish we caught for a couple dinners (TROUT TACOS!) We couldn't recommend this peaceful riverside cabin more highly!

My husban & I both wanted to stay. The property is beautiful & the cabin is right on the river. The property owners cabin is also on the same property & I feel as though I now have a wonderful new friend. We will definitely return as often as possible.

Awesome location

Thanks for allow us to stay at your wonderful cabin. We found the listing to be accurate and in a safe location. We recommend picking up ALL of what you will need prior to driving into Pecos as there aren’t that many store options in town, and the drive to the cabin is easy 20-25 minutes one way. We loved the continuous sound of the Rio!

Remote but beautiful

The description was accurate. It is a gorgeous location. So many beautiful areas to visit within couple of hours. My only negative is we had no cell service. It made me a bit anxious but overall a great place to get away from it all!

Peace and quiet

Relief of tensions of the world — no cars, no noise, no people — just the rushing waters of the Pecos River and flitting of the hummingbirds! We have now recharged our batteries! You could go fishing in the river or the pond (catch and release. Sit in the sunshine!

Cute Cabin

Cute little cabin. The property is amazing. There is a cabin about 5 feet behind this one and unbeknownst to me the owner lives in the cabin. The picture of the kitchen is the cabin next door. We booked three nights and on the second day campers with tents started showing up. It was typically a campground with kiddos running around and no provacy.

hidden gem

Sondra’s cabin was a treat, literally on the river. it felt like we were on a deck of a boat looking down at the river. the soothing sound of river flowing so close was something we have never experienced before. we even had luck catching a fish or two right there!Cabin itself had good vibes and was clean with amenities. Sondra was available to answer any questions as she lives right next door.very private property, backing up to the national forest.a small creek runs through the property as well. our son practiced his first fishing in a pond on the property. perfect deal for people wanting to learn fly fishing. couldn’t have asked for more in a quiet retreat away from daily hustle bustle. will definitely go again we enjoyed it very much.

About the host

Hosted by Sondra Bennett

Host profile image
Sondra Bennett is the fourth generation heir to the Rivera Ranch. Her children assist her with managing the Ranch just as she did for her mother Ramona Rivera Lawson. Ramona was born in the larger cabin on the property & raised there by her mother, Ignacita & father, Encarnacion Rivera. During that time the ranch was a full-time outfit moving mostly beef, horses, other small livestock. The River Cabin is the last structure built on the 6 acre lot and was originally used for hanging tack and dry storage. The first buildings built were the dugout next to the creek followed by the barn (no longer standing) and finally the larger cabin. The cabins date back to the 1860’s & were carved out of the Pecos Wilderness by Cristino Rivera (Sondra's Great Grandfather) with mostly hand tools, ox, and later a saw mill. Cristino settled the area and is accredited for establishing the town. Sondra has been a part of the Ranch her entire life and has fought to keep it in the family as her mother did before her. Sondra honors the memory of her mother by continuing the legacy and ensuring her grandchildren (6th & seven generations) will enjoy and respect it just as she, as well as those before her. Sondra retired here in 2020 from Cleveland, TN. She loves sharing the beauty, and peacefulness of the ranch with those who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life & cooler temps for sure.

What makes this property unique

It is private & no others can come in here unless they r Cabin Guests here. The river sounds beautiful. It washes all ur troubles down the river. I love watching the wild life & feeding the ducks. U can feed the ducks & fish in the pond. They love bread. I love when the eagles land here in the big trees. It’s just a little piece of heaven that I enjoy sharing with my friends.
