A friend of the original homesteader (we found her letters to the publishers of DH's books in the attic), it was here she drank coffee, picked up her mail, and bought groceries. In the quietude, one might still hear some of the passionate exchanges between her and DH, especially in the evenings by one of the campfires, or on a simple walk in the woods to the old spring at nearby Timber Canyon.
Frieda’s Cabin is a furnished one room 325 sq ft efficiency/duplex that originally served as sheepherder’s lodging at the turn of the last century. Now it has a well equipped kitchen, full bathroom with a bath/shower, and a queen size bed.
Frieda's Cabin is located atTaos Goji Eco Lodge and Farm Retreat. Our cabins are nestled in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains and surrounded by national forest. Our charming & quaint, historic log cabins and casitas are in close proximity to Taos (11 miles) and the Taos Ski Valley and Red River (ca: 20 miles).
Frieda's Cabin is located on a forty acre farm. Guests have access to the garden and the outside table, chairs, a hammocks (during warm weather) and a barbecue and a fire pit (only to be used with permission of the management due to the fire risk).
The cottage faces the Sangre De Cristo Mountains to the east, a communal area to the west and a large open field to the south where we grow corn and pumpkins. There is also an old apple grove in the middle of the field and you are welcome to taste the different apple varieties.
Close to the cabins is an open barn with tables and benches. Guests are welcome to use the barn for meals and its a wonderful place to watch the sun go down over the distant mountains. We have several vegetable garden in the summer. Guests are welcome to pick some veggies for some weeding. Please speak to the property manager.
We have a small play ground with swings and a slide. There are chickens and guests can feed them with table scraps (please no chicken or eggs, we don't want them to be cannibals) Be sure to close the chickens gate behind you, We have stray dogs in the valley that can harm our chickens. There is also an old rescue goat, Yoda, plus two alpacas, Albert and Allison. You are welcome to feed them, they love grass and also branches from the old Chinese Elm trees.
Interaction with guests depends on the privacy needs of the vacationers. We do arrange potlucks and dinners throughout the year for those who are socially inclined.
