The High Feather Ranch is the perfect get-away! Beautiful and relaxing, and so close to many things to do in the area. We really enjoyed the breakfast - the stuffed french toast was our favorite!

Everything wonderful that has been written on this site about High Feather is true. The only disappointment is that sooner or later, you have to leave! Marianna is the consumate hostess. From the first e-mail contact, to follow up e-mails after we left, she couldn't have been more gracious. It is not that hard to find if you follow the directions carefully - we found it w/o any trouble well after dark. The land is both stark and stunning. You'll be warmly welcomed into a "modern" adobe home. The great room is like the one you wish you had - fireplace, TV, comfy chairs, plenty of games, attractive SW decor and clean as the proverbial whistle. Our bedroom had a fireplace, very comfy bed and squishy pillows, plenty of storage space and large jetted bathtub. We forgot our shampoo & lotion and Marianna quickly provided bottles. There's a guest fridge w/ water and juice. Breakfasts were attractive to the eye and pallate - and the waffle recipe will be shared! The interesting town of Madrid is about 15 minutes away. Restaurants close early, so be prepared. Marianna will provide information for whatever type of excursion you feel like making. Or, if you want to do nothing at all, there are plenty of patios on which to lounge or strectch out in the great room with a good book. Nights are very, very quiet and the stars seem within touching range. There's a new state park in nearby Cerrillos waiting to be explored.

We were only there two nights and it wasn't nearly long enough. Scheduled too much to do to just sit and savor the hospitality of the owner and tranquility of the environment. We stayed in the Cowgirl room. One of 3 rooms. . This B and B sits on several hundred acres and is pretty far away from either Santa Fe or Albuquerque, but located near the Turquoise Trail with unique little shops, and photo ops. My husband enjoyed one day golfing at Paako Ridge nearby. Breakfast was very sumptuous, with Southwest flavor, and is served either on the patio or inside depending on the weather. We were even treated to breakfast-to-go burritos to eat at the airport which had fellow travelers looking at me enviously. We had planned to star gaze, but instead enjoyed a full moon view from our private patio.

Marianna is a warm and wonderful hostess. Her luxurious adobe ranch surrounded by giant Junipers, cholla cactus, and a genuinely panoramic view of several mountain ranges is secluded and a stunner. Her home is a sophisticated ranch house. It has a gorgeous great room with 20 foot ceilings, wood beams, tasteful furnishings.... our room felt old-world European in its luxurious materials, bathroom finishing, and lush scale. Breakfast was as you would expect- lovely and delicious. This cowgirl owns acres and acres above Cerillos and Madrid. We're returning when we get back to Santa Fe. She was kind enough to mail us our forgotten camera. Many thanks, Marianna.
