Elk View Lodge Detailed tile floors, stone accent walls, and wall colors reminiscent of the desert sun make this home a unique New Mexico retreat. Settle in around one of two wood stoves, all set up with comfortable couches and chairs for long chats. The home's large common area includes a sweeping view of the surrounding mountains, enjoyable from the cafe-style dining table or the sofa. Take in some fresh air on the wide furnished deck. But we imagine you'll spend a lot of time hanging out in the full kitchen, which is all set up for cooking with gorgeous stone countertops, a kitchen island with room for three guests to enjoy an informal meal, and glass cabinets to help you find exactly what you need. Oven mitts and dish towels are set above the counter to help with space. The French door fridge is set right next to the dining area, so guests can easily meander over and grab a drink at any point of the night. There's a reason why board games are provided! This home is all one level, so you won't have to climb any stairs to get to bed. The first (and main) bedroom is just to the right as you walk through the door and features a king-size log bed, a three-window view of the valley overlooking the deck, and an en suite bathroom with a standalone shower through swinging saloon doors. Head into the living room past the wood stove, and you'll find the next two bedrooms just beyond. Bedrooms two and three each include a queen-size log bed and a two-window view of the surrounding valley. The full bathroom with a shower/tub combination between the two bedrooms can serve these guests. The final bedroom can truly be called a lounge bedroom - this comfy space includes the home's second wood stove, a mounted TV, a comfortable sofa and two armchairs, and an entire dining table setup that's also perfect for board games. The room's two queen beds are set at the back of the room, as well as a nightstand and a separate dresser.
