Vista Verde Retreat Center is a rural vacation rental in the high desert forest of northern New Mexico. This beautiful compound is tucked away among old juniper and piñon pines. If you like being in nature, but prefer not to rough it too much, this place is for you. The property itself is on 45 acres, with 3 hiking loops in the natural surroundings. A sense of serenity is pervasive as you wind your way through the compound. You will notice the retreat is designed for you to deepen your connection with the land and allow the tensions from daily life to dissolve.
