RLB Historical Stone Cabin

The RLB stands for the last names of the given Ancestors (Rivera/Lawson/Bennett). This property & structures date back to President Grover Cleveland’s time. I found documents that he had signed for my grandfather. The main cabin was drilled to see how old it was. It was built somewhere around 1867 or 1868. The smaller cabins were built before the main cabin. The main cabin is one of the five Ladies of the Pecos River. There were only five cabins first built and settled in the territory that the logs were called dove and groove. The Stone cabin was built first and no record of the year other than it was before the main cabin. The cabin by the river was used as the kitchen until the main house was built. Then the River Cabin became the shed to store saddles and bridles, ropes & etc. My father moved the door from the side that is now a window to the front by the river and made it into a one room cabin. The front which is the kitchen now was added in the mid 80’s. 

This is the bedroom and kitchen combine. My father, found a corner still standing & he rebuilt the walls back. 

This was the first structure that my great grandfather built for his family in the mid 1800’s. They had 14 kids.  Later it became the cellar which kept their food. It was built in the mountain. The front structure was added in the early 80’s for an extra room.

This is the kitchen. It has running water, however, It does not have hot water. There is an electric skillet, pots & pans, electric water pot to heat water, microwave and full refrigerator. Fully furnished with dish cloths, pot holders, bath towels & linen.

There is a double bed, chester drawers, nightstand/end table, & a chamber pot that the liners can be disposed in the historical double seater powder room on the hill.

A view from the living room looking into the bedroom/kitchen. The windows u see separating the two rooms use to be the front windows before the addition. 

It’s beautiful in September/October. However, we close the cabin down around October 15th. For those  months the dates are taken fast. 

This is a view of the Pecos River. When the waters are high, it is nothing to be played with. As Spring & Summer progresses the water lowers & is not quite so swift. This is looking North up river towards Cowles & Jack’s Creek.

Our private pond, the mallard ducks come every year and have their ducklings there. The deer have had their fawns across the foot bridge by the other small pond. U have access across the River, by a foot bridge. 

There is an futon & rollaway bed for extra guests. Fresh linen is kept in the chester drawers and comforters are under the small table in the living room.

We Host Groups on : The Ojo...

We are OPEN as of April 1st, 2022

What is The Ojo?

Simply, 116 acres of riparian and desert landscape situated along the Ojo Caliente River in the heart of northern New Mexico! 

WE HOST GROUPS !

What kind of groups come here?

We attract a variety of folks, including families, who want a land based experience. Your group always has the place to itself.

We are all about Place and the roll it plays in helping humans become grounded. People who have visited here have come for vision quests, sweat lodges, Walkabouts, yoga, personal work of various kinds and simple reflection, and more. The Ojo is set amidst an amazing northern New Mexico landscape of water and sculptured desert, mountains and mesas. We seek groups who are not looking for a retreat center, but rather, are looking for a unique place where they can reconnect with the environment. On The Ojo, our goal is to facilitate your stay so that the group can focus on their own special needs.   

We can accommodate up to twenty adults. Kids under thirteen count as 1/2 an adult for calculating your group size. For example: ten adults and six kids would be a total of thirteen adults. 

The land is wildlife friendly, but there has never been a negative encounter with any wild animal. We are home to a diverse number of bird and animal species. 

PLEASE...No pets!

And, there is a wild river running through it! 

We are geared for tent camping and do not provide hook ups for RVs. The camping area extends along the river and can accommodate up to 20 tents. Included in the nightly group rate of $300 is The Ojo Cabin, a cozy retreat cabin that sleeps two adults in a queen bed, and has electricity, running water and its own RV style toilet and a full shower. 

Our 26 foot Hogan, built with love, is there for your group to use as needed. This amazing place has an adobe floor and walls and a spectacular ceiling.

Cooking is done in our dining/cooking pavilion, a short walk from the campground and the cabin. There is free high speed  wi-fi available in the pavilion. Two showers, one seasonal outdoors, have unlimited hot water, and the full kitchen and two refrigerators make cooking easy.  Two foot bridges make access to the pavilion from the camping area easy, and low key lighting makes travel safe after dark. We do not allow cooking elsewhere on the land. 

The pavilion is the place to gather, hang out, cook on the gas grill, throw some horseshoes, or just relax.

The Ojo encompasses classic New Mexico cottonwood/willow Bosque and our land extends to the top of nearby Black Mesa, 1000 feet above the valley floor. The spectacular Shadow Mountain Trail is about 1.5 miles long and the hike rewards you with amazing views of the surrounding countryside.

The Ojo abuts incredible desert badlands in the adjacent BLM land to the west. Various trails make moving through the Bosque and desert easy. Often there are beavers in our little river too!

We have a ceremonial tipi, permission needed for use, and a wonderful classic seven ring labyrinth. We are located only 45 minutes from Santa Fe, an hour to Taos, 30 minutes to Abiquiu, and in the heart of a landscape that has everything for the active, from mountain biking to white water rafting. 

Oh yeah...we are also only ten minutes from Ojo Caliente Hot Spring and Spa.

Don't hesitate to find out if this place is the RIGHT place for your group!
