About this property

'The Pines' Is The Perfect Log Cabin Getaway In The Beautiful Jemez Mtns.

Relax at this quaint but spacious 1950's log cabin nestled in the Ponderosa pines at nearly 8,000 feet.
You won't want to leave the front porch with its view of a relaxing meadow and towering Redondo Peak. Oh, and your senses will be filled with the beauty of the pines. We even provide the coffee for your cozy mornings on the porch.

The four bedrooms sleep eight comfortably, but which room will you choose? The Log Cabin Room? Flower room? Bird room? or Western room? They are all decorated just for you.

The Pines is located within 2 miles of trout fishing, hiking, a convenience store, liquor store and Spence Hot Springs. It's just a short drive to Jemez Falls, Soda Dam, Fenton Lake, Valles Calderas and the town of Jemez Springs.

This updated cabin is stocked with Internet, toys, a record player, records and flat screen TV with 150 DVDs ready to watch. A landline phone with unlimited calls (within the US) is available since cell phone service is sketchy in the area.

The property has a propane grill and two fireplaces - one electric and one wood-burning. Stocked with most cooking utensils and appliances and even some basic condiments, you'll be cooking up a storm in no time. A clothes dryer is available for use, but there is no dishwasher, so roll up your sleeves.

The cabin is the perfect place for a family gathering, group get-together or a couple's romantic getaway. Snuggled at the end of a neighborhood, we ask that you respect our neighbors by keeping the noise down.

You may see an elk, bobcat or deer mosey through the area. But don't leave food outside, for bears visit too.

Remember - this is a rustic, 65-year-old log cabin in the middle of the woods. It is not a pristine city resort-that's why it's so charming.

Daddy’s 93rd birthday!
Loved the cabin and the way it is decorated. My father wanted let you know that you are a “classy lady.” He loved loved looking at deer and the birds from the porch. He slept in the bird room and enjoyed it. Close to everything, hikes, fishing, etc.

Like going to Grandma's house.
Very easy to relax and unwind. Location perfect for short fishing excursions around the Jemez. Kitchen is stocked with everything. Just bring food. The house is stocked with all kinds of activities to keep you entertained. Perfect for family event or small group gathering. The best part was eating on the porch! Thank you, Martha and Daniel.

The Cabin is heaven
My group has stayed here every year since 2016 except 1 when I did not make the reservation in time. The Cabin fits our needs perfectly with 4 bedrooms, a large central living area, two bathrooms and a porch with a fantastic view to the north. We can see Redondo Peak from the porch and can watch the bats come out at dusk. It is typically quiet and peaceful.

About the host

Hosted by Martha Landes

Host profile image
I grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, graduated from OU, then was a public school music teacher for 20+ years. We moved to South Dakota for 5 years where my husband was a dean at South Dakota State University and I worked as a community coach, before landing permanently in Rio Rancho, NM in 2011. Now, we both write - he writes screenplays while I write mystery novels. (You might even find copies on the bookshelf)
As a child, my family had a cabin in Missouri that we escaped to on a regular basis. It was always a place to rejuvenate. Now that I'm a New Mexico resident, I can't get back to Missouri very often and missed having that relaxing getaway.
So, we bought this charming log cabin in the Jemez Mountains to do just that. After fixing it up, we decided it needed to be shared with others and are renting The Pines out during the times we aren't enjoying the amazing Jemez Mountains ourselves.
We hope you will consider this relaxing place as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The Pines is unique in that it feels secluded, but is fairly close to other homes. It's only 50 beautiful miles from Rio Rancho, 60 from Albuquerque and 40 miles from Los Alamos.
The Jemez mountains have so many amazing places to explore. This property is in the perfect location - At 7,850 feet elevation, it's 15 degrees cooler than Albuquerque with no traffic noise, and lots of green surrounding the property.

What makes this property unique

The cozy feel of 'Grandma's House' is what hit me when I first saw this place - with the charming 1950's bones. After updating the property, it is still reminiscent of the old days, but with most of the modern conveniences we are accustomed to now.
We love sitting on the front porch with a drink in hand visiting and watching nature, or take a walk down the gravel road. It's very therapeutic.
