Hard to review

The home inside was nice: good beds, comfortable furniture, fully stocked kitchen. We misinterpreted the pictures and thought the deck was attached to the house. Therefore we thought the river was right outside the house. The deck and the river were a ways away from the house. The pictures did show this, but it was a bit unclear. The river was muddy while we were there so it was not worth fishing (not the owners fault). We had a lot of trouble with the wifi so the internet was inconsistent. The owner said he has now ordered a new company for internet. The owner was communicative but couldn't fix the wifi situation while we were there. We didn't know anything about the town of Pecos so didn't realize it was very isolated. Not much to do for us. We had our dog with us but the instructions when we entered said not to walk on the road as there were a lot of loose dogs. This meant we had to get in the car if we wanted to take our dog somewhere. This was a pricey rental so it was a bit disappointing for us. Live and learn!

Getaway fly

The first impression of the neighborhood wasn’t the best, with dogs roaming the streets and the neighboring houses looking pretty ran down or abandoned. The house itself was very beautiful and immaculate, the weather was cold and windy so we didn’t get to enjoy the deck by the river like we hoped. Over all a great stay and would recommend it to anyone!

Beautiful home in rural Pecos, NM with issues

The house is quite striking with a gorgeous living room and kitchen combination and two bedrooms and two baths. The pictures properly capture this. The kitchen is well outfitted- we stayed here for a family reunion at a nearby state park and enjoyed the kitchen as we prepared dishes to take to the reunion. The surroundings of the house are however quite rural with a mixture of other nice houses, mobile homes, a camper set up next door and some abandoned houses on Camino Rincon. We arrived after dark and were uncomfortable as we turned off the access road and drove steeply downhill into the driveway through thick brush touching both sides of our car as we passed two other houses before seeing the recognizable parking area. There was a white SUV parked at the house, which raised our concerns that perhaps there was a scheduling mistake as we fumbled around with the key code (first using the wrong door next to the driveway rather than the side door). Once we made it inside we confirmed that we were the only ones there, and the beauty of the house calmed our nerves. Unfortunately there was a bug infestation that had been treated just before our arrival, and so the skylight in the bathroom was sealed with saran wrap, which had captured a few hundred dead bugs hanging above the sink. The owner was responsive and explained the situation, offering us the chance to cancel the rest of our stay. We would not wish this situation on others. Be aware.

Beautiful home with stunning view!

Tom was a great host! We had a lovely stay at this home. It was great for four people. The two bedrooms had very comfortable queen beds with great pillows and just enough bedding to keep you from freezing or sweating. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you need, including some seasonings in the pantry. It had a Ninja coffee pot as well as Mr. coffee coffee pot. When in need of groceries, we stopped at Family Dollar or Dollar General as those are the closest(within 20ish miles) stores. It’s a short walk down to the river and Tom even provided us with fishing poles. One issue we ran into was the internet went out, and Tom helped us immediately. He was immediately available for anything we needed. Because it’s a small town, sometimes service is challenging, but Tom responded quickly and we got reconnected. The one thing you need to be aware of is if you have a car that is low to the ground, proceed with caution because the drive down to the house has a couple gullies. They are easily avoided, but just be aware. We can’t wait to go back!

The Good, the BUG and the Ugly

The home itself is nice, with comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen. Unfortunately, it was infested with bugs. I mean: finding a bug on my toothbrush, coming home to four bugs swimming in the toilet, having a big drop from the ceiling onto me, finding a bug in a box of (thankfully wrapped) snack bars, having ugs jump onto my kindle while reading in bed. While the bugs were benign (no bites) it was extremely gross. When I asked the property manager he mentioned that he knew this happened yearly in the summer for 2-3 weeks. When I suggested it might be a good idea to include this in the listing (my son is bug-phobic), he said he wasn't a mind-reader, which I thought was a weird response. A few other things just that may be helpful to know: 1. when the wifi is out (as it was our first day) you may need to make calls/text due to poor phone connectivity, and the TV can't be used. When it does work, it is a bit slow so I wouldn;t plan on working remotely if you need video call capability. 2. the air-conditioning is only in the main area not the bedrooms 3. the unit does not supply basic things like shampoo/conditioner or morning coffee. Since it is a drive to get to any grocery or drugstores, be sure to come prepared. Overall, I personally wouldn't stay here again due to the bugs - really it was my worst home rental experience ever - but for people coming in colder weather times you may have a better experience.

Wonderfully relaxing setting

Our stay was great in Pecos. The house was just as described and had everything we needed. The deck by the river offered a nice place to relax and have conversation. There was plenty to do in the area and some unique opportunities as well. The town could use a couple more restaurants but Frankie’s Casanova offered a great breakfast at very reasonable prices. The house itself was very well built and had great charm. Definitely a good spot for a family or group of 4. Tom did a nice job of communicating before and during our stay. There were plenty of brochures for things to do.

Pecos riverside

This is an outstanding property. Very sturdy structure, missing nothing, new appliances, great riverside deck. Outstanding sunroom. A steep driveway challenged our rental car, but heck, it was a rental. Interesting history with the property, and it was fun to imagine how it might have played a role back in the day. Plenty of outlets, good RO water. No complaints.

Peaceful on the Pecos

This is a lovely, well furnished, home that is very clean. There is a deck located on the Pecos River just a couple of hundred feet down a hill from the house. Sitting on the deck feels like you have traveled to a remote mountain stream setting even though the house is located on the edge of Pecos in a residential neighborhood. This is a great location to explore the area from Las Vegas to Santa Fe and the upper Pecos. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

disappointed

The property is located in a very depressed area of Pecos NM. Although the house was very clean and quite there were many items not functioning. IE dish washer not seated in cabinet. Blinds and windows taped shut. Oven light not working. 2 out of three thermostats not working. TV instructions were confusing. Driveway very narrow and overgrown. Quite a ways out from Santa Fe. Lots of black bugs in the bathrooms. Definitely a lack of amenities in Pecos. I did enjoy the Pecos river, although not the steep driveway down to the river.

About the host

Hosted by Tom

Host profile image
I have been involved in real estate all of my life and enjoy it immensely when I find a property that is just too good to pass up. This is that property

Why they chose this property

The Spanish Conquistadors came to this area in 1680. This property and that of the whole valley where the land is situated was 'Land Granted' to one Conquistador; the direct descendant of the lady who designed and built this house, Evelyn Espinoza Varela. The land was given to Evelyn by her Grandfather a decedent of the Conquistadors who came here in 1680. Evelyn spent many weeks coming to her land, contemplating the design, making sure it correctly represented her roots. Finally in 2001 she set forth to build her dream house, an authentic Southwestern design. Evelyn, accomplished her goal and then some.
That is one of the reasons why we like this southwestern abode, you can feel the presence.
Yet, it is modern, another plus for those of us who have been spoiled with all the conveniences.

What makes this property unique

1. Fantastic location right on the Pecos River
2. In this Sangria De Christie Mountain but with all the amenities
3. Close to the historic city of Santa Fe; 20-25 minutes
4. Cultural activities abound
5. I feel more a tuned to nature out here. The pure blue sky with the puffy clouds, the Pecos River with the sound of the water rushing over the rocks; how peaceful that sound is.
6. The people living n this village are peaceful fun loving individuals that have a respect for the wonderful nature around them.
7. Driving up highway 63 to the end of the road leads you past magnificent camp grounds that offer horse back riding in over 200,000 acres, hiking trails of all levels, fishing, hunting, trapping, etc,
8. Skiing of all types is just a short distance away.
9. I could go on but suffice it to say that there is something for everyone in this glorious country
