Loved the cabin, the music, the scenery and wonderful aroma of junipers and pinyons drifting in through open doors and windows."

"This place embodies the beauty and spaciousness that draws us to the southwest. Quiet and stillness like this is very hard to find in our daily lives . . . the front porch is an ideal place for morning yoga, reading or evening star gazing."
