The Pecos River Cliff House – It’s Magical!

Welcome to the Pecos River Cliff House – a magical place where luxury meets wilderness. Located just 30 minutes from Santa Fe at the edge of the Santa Fe National Forest, this breathtaking cliff house towers 50 feet above the majestic Pecos River. Make yourself at home in the custom adobe house, where back bay windows provide a stunning view of the great beyond.


Embrace comfort and relaxation at every turn with upscale amenities that include hypoallergenic linens, top-of-the-line mattresses, and a stocked Keurig coffeemaker. The bathroom is equipped with an over-sized jacuzzi tub and a Mr. Steamer shower system so that you can clean off desert dust and unwind after a long day of adventure.


Whether you’re looking to unplug and explore or settle in for the night, there are infinite activities and entertainment options you can enjoy. Inside the air-conditioned house, we offer lightning-fast wifi and cellphone service, a Chromebook, a Bluetooth speaker system, and a ROKU Smart TV.



Walk down the 50-foot staircase and step into the cold water at the Pecos River’s edge. The exclusive resort is yours to explore with year-round trout fishing in the river, beginner rock climbing, a large meadow for picnicking and campfires, and 250 feet of private river access. Seasonally, a 40-foot waterfall complements the landscape neatly, itself complemented by a 50-foot cliff, like something out of a painting. The wildlife at Cliff House is abundant too, adding a touch of vibrancy to an already-vibrant property. If for some reason you find yourself wanting more, there are 1.5 million acres of pristine National Forest land just across the river. Let your wild side out, cruising around in the on-site Monster Jeep Wrangler, which is available for rent.



The Pecos River Cliff House is the perfect jumping-off place for every outdoor adventure. From the canyon to the redwoods, there are picture-perfect, once-in-a-lifetime sights all around you at The Cliff House. Adventure awaits.

Amazing Adobe Home
This property is amazing! It was clean, well stocked and secluded. We did not want to leave. The Christmas tree and decorations were a nice touch of home. We would love to come back in the summer when the river is flowing and we can fish. My dog also had a great time exploring. Highly recommend!
