Black Lake Mountain Retreat. The rural setting welcomes birds and bird watchers.

Attached two story house in a quiet rural area situated between forest and meadow which teems with birds and hawks, and is visited by deer and elk and the occasional coyote. I garden with native plants and encourage visits from a variety of birds. Which use the 40 foot spruce as their own apartment. A pair of red tail hawks hunt in the back pasture. You can catch them on camera while having coffee on the back porch.

Centrally located in the Moreno Valley/Black Lake area at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains it is an easy drive to a variety of interesting day trips. See Charley's Hideaway Guest House (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550969463137) for more details and seasonal updates.

The main floor is an open plan with large living area with wood burning stove. It opens into a gourmet kitchen and family dining. Meals can be prepared without leaving the discussion of the day's adventures.

Amazing Location
The place was perfect for my dad, brother and I to go fishing at Eagle Nest. We took a beautiful drive to Red River as well. The place has everything you could ask for. Highly recommended.

Family Vacation
We had a great time staying here! House had everything we needed and it was a huge bonus to be able to bring our dogs. We went hiking in the snow and sledding a ton. The location is great being just a bit out of the town proper, super quiet and lovely scenery. I enjoyed watching the cows behind the house and listening to the rooster. Great place for a family to stay, we will definitely be back!

Great place for an easy getaway
Great place. If you are looking for a easy going low maintenance stay this is your place. Backyard doesn’t have a lot of space but was great for letting dogs out between skiing. Not the fanciest place but has everything anyone would need. Owner was right next door for any needs. Her art is displayed in the house and is a great addition. Would highly recommend for the price and location.

Cozy, warm, and hairy
This cabin was comfy, warm, and plenty of amenities, however, we found hair (dog and human) every where. We had to change the sheets when we first got there because of all the hair in the bed. There was a lot of snow on the ground and it was warm inside.

Quiet and cozy!
My family had a wonderful stay in the cabin. We had room to do puzzles and games. The distance to Angel fire was less than 10 minutes. We could load up ski eguipment and get to the lift quickly The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy breakfast with coffee to enjoying a nice soup in the crockpot. We had 5 adults, an infant and a dog and had all the apace we needed. We will be back.
