Sunny Mellow Eco Villa is the land with a great history. The QUIET, secret Shangra-La Valley just over the ridge from Route 66 (and I-40) was the camping place for Billy the Kid and his gang! They could quickly saddle up when the posted lookout on the ridge above signaled the passing of the stagecoach! Even more stunning, it was the Tijeras Indian Pueblo Tribe's place of roaming and rest. The land now sports an Organic Vineyard, Orchard and Vegetable Garden that guests my forage from when in bloom. A Large, Clean, Secluded Redwood Yoga Deck, Ping-Pong, Horseshoes, and a Giant Swing Set, along with patios and lounges that are found over the 8 acre land, and all joined by a network of Scenic Pathways and Bridges that connect The Vineyard, The Orchard, The Garden, The Solar Array, The Swing, The Yoga Deck, Ping Pong Terrace, Horse shoe Pit... Perfect Place and Feel The Akashic Records of Where Billy the Kid and his gang camped and the Tijeras Indians Lived! 8 Minutes to Albuquerque. 7 minutes to Cedar Crest, 20 minutes to The Infinite View off the Sandia Crest, 10 minutes to Edgewood. 50 minutes to Santa Fe. Located in THE CENTER of The ZIA of NEW MEXICO! Views of meadows, mountains and the Enchanting New Mexico sky from the Every stopping point on the Eco Villa Trail System. Ride a bike, take a sauna, Read a book... Take a nap. Enjoy the Unique Feel and Romance of the Yoga Yurt, The Awesome Modern Outdoor Kitchen, The delicious KING Bed. Watch 4K TV with 900 download and 35 upload! Enjoy Dining at your Private HipCamp Site! Hike into the Cedro National forest a short walk to the end of the road. If you feel sociable, join in a campfire with the guests at The Chi-Treehouse or Invite guests to the Fire-pit at your own Yoga Yurta!

Peaceful serene stay!
What a wonderful and peaceful place to stay. Greeted by Greg, who gave a rundown of the amenities offered, as well as things to do locally. Outstanding bed, and the yurt was cozy and comfortable. Outdoor kitchen was perfect and the surroundings were serene and peaceful. Highly recommend!!

The Yoga Yurta at Sunny Mellow
Great peaceful place and location
A great place for us to relax at the end of a long road trip. Soft bed. Wonderful outdoor kitchen. So many diffwrent places to chill. Great hot semi outdoor shower. Nice and private. Robbie showed us all around. She thought of every little detail. You may hear some background noise from down the road at night. But it is not too loud and goes away during the day. Close to Albuquerque. Perfect location for balloon fiesta visitors.

The Yoga Yurta at Sunny Mellow
We had an amazing stay at the Yoga Yurta! Greg and his wife were super friendly and had plenty of fun stories and recommendations for what to do in the surrounding area. They've made such a welcoming area, full of creativity, nature, and calm. The yurt and adjacent kitchen were adorable and had everything we needed, and we loved the cute and functional outdoor shower. If we're ever in the area in the future, we'd love to stay again! Highly recommended.

The perfect getaway
Stay here!!!! We booked the yoga yurta for the Hozier concert. Sitting over in Tijeras you’re away from the bustle in such a beautiful place. This property will fill you with peace and serenity so much you won’t want to leave! The bed is comfy, the shower is hot, the grounds are beautiful, and the hosts are so nice. You won’t regret coming to sunny mellow. Be sure to relax on the yoga deck and release your inner child on the huge swings up front. Thank you guys so much for such a lovely birthday!!!

Chi-Treehouse at Sunny Mellow Villa
The tree house is an absolutely perfect little escape from the city for a night. Loved the nicely stocked kitchen and the lovely evening breeze while we drifted to sleep. A truly beautiful place to reset and relax. We will be back. Thank you!

Fine Yurt Glamping near Albuquerque
Amazing property with tons of amenities. The yurt was extremely comfortable. Outdoor kitchen with all kitchen appliances was awesome to have. Outdoor enclosed bathroom with hot shower, sink, and standard flush toilet was great. This is glamping at it's finest! And host Greg was very gracious and provided local food and tourist info (which was great).
