Jacqui's Angel Fire Retreat is a true gem. It is not only charmingly decorated, the location is right in the middle of a valley with beautiful views and very close (6 miles) to Angel Fire which has a grocery store, gas stations, coffee shops, gift shops and several restaurants. Endless hiking trails and activities abound. One of the delights of our stay was that 100s of migrant hummingbirds were staying on her property at the time. They were on constant display through the living room window since Jacqui placed 2 hummingbird feeders there. She is a thoughtful, friendly, and easy-to-communicate-with host who has paid attention to every detail a traveler would want. To top that, her place is dog friendly with a fenced backyard which worked wonderfully for us and our doggies.
Thank you, Jacqui, for your warm hospitality and for hosting us! My friend and I loved our time in your home and hope to visit again. Also, thank you for your referral to your mechanic when it was much needed. Very thoughtful of you and a lifesaver! :)
PS If visiting, please don't miss "Lady Slipper Trail" near Monte Verde Lake. It's very near the home (about 2 miles towards Angel Fire) and it's an easy, beautiful trail. It is near the lake which has another trail and kayak and boat rentals. Had to share this great find of our trip! :)
