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!

Chi-Treehouse at Sunny Mellow Villa
Absolut empfehlenswert!
Wir sind erst nach Sonnenuntergang angereist, wurden vor Ort dann herzlichst von Greg empfangen. Er zeigte uns unsere Unterkunft und alles drum herum. Ich habe selten so eine schöne und gemütliche Outdoor Unterkunft gesehen. Man hat dort alles was man braucht. Mein persönliches Highlight war das Badezimmer, dass ein kleines Stück entfernt vom Schlafplatz lag. Eine kleine selbstgebaute Holzhütte mit Toilette, Waschbecken und nicht überdachter Dusche - eine tolle Erfahrung so duschen zu können, bei Nacht und auch Tag. Dieser Ort ist wirklich empfehlenswert, auch für ein paar Nächte länger.

The Yoga Yurta at Sunny Mellow
What a hidden little gem. My partner and I were so appreciative to have such a cozy and comfortable Yurta to rest in after a long road trip. It was raining when we arrived, but the yurt kept us completely dry while the sounds of the rain were comforting through the evening. The yurt even has an a/c unit, tv, and incredibly comfortable bed. We had coffee at our outdoor kitchen in the morning and picked some plums in the orchard. Wish we would have had more than one evening to explore all that the grounds offered, but another time!

Chi-Treehouse at Sunny Mellow Villa
We loved our stay in the Chi-treehouse! Close to fantastic hiking, Greg and Robbie have provided almost everything you’ll need to relax and commune with nature. We can’t wait to return with our daughter to further explore the area. Thank you Greg and Robbie for a warm welcome and peaceful stay.

The Yoga Yurta at Sunny Mellow
Total bliss!!
Wow! What an incredibly extraordinary experience. We were on a big birthday road trip when we came across Greg’s property and upon arrival we knew we’d found heaven. Greg opening his property to travelers is such a gift to all of us who are lucky enough to stumble upon it online. I cannot wait to visit again, don’t hesitate to book, your heart will just melt with bliss.

The Yoga Yurta at Sunny Mellow
Nice Zen Feel
Fantastic place ti stop for a night or spend a few days. Felt like a mini retreat. The layout is perfect for anyone wanting to get away from the daily hustle and reground themselves. Gregory and his wife are wonder host, and are very accommodating. Will definitely stay here again, perhaps for longer duration.
