I was having work done on my house and booked Jacqui's place so I could escape from the mess at night. The area is quiet and beautiful, the house was perfect for me, quite comfortable, with everything I needed. I and my dog enjoyed our stay very much.

Jaqui has done a great job making this little home warm and cozy. We enjoyed the quiet, bucolic setting and the spacious, homey furnishings. Beds and linens were comfortable, everything was clean and well-maintained. We were glad to stay and will return next time!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The living area is even larger than in the photos. The kitchen has everything we could need. Great views. There were several types of birds even in winter. Jacqui's beautiful art decorated the walls. Our 2 small dogs loved the back yard. We would definitely stay here again.

We had an excellent time staying here. The owner lives onsite, but you’d never know it. The property is as it’s described in the listing. We brought our two dogs and they enjoyed the fenced-in yard. Plenty of pots, pans, and utensils allowed us to cook all our meals at the home. Absolutely beautiful area of New Mexico. Would highly recommend.

This was our fourth year staying at the Black Lake Mountain Retreat. It is perfect for a long stay with dogs. The back yard is fenced, and there are plenty of places to walk your friends. The house is well equipped with everything you need to cook meals. Of course the scenery is beautiful, the hummingbirds plentiful, not to mention the hawk, bluebirds and many others we will be back!

We had a great time staying here! House had everything we needed and it was a huge bonus to be able to bring our dogs. We went hiking in the snow and sledding a ton. The location is great being just a bit out of the town proper, super quiet and lovely scenery. I enjoyed watching the cows behind the house and listening to the rooster. Great place for a family to stay, we will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at Jacqui's house. It is like one half of a duplex, with the bedrooms upstairs, and lots of space. It is in a beautiful location, great for star gazing. Would stay again!
