Rufous Has Arrived!
They’re here…..but they are just passing through. The Rufous Hummingbirds have checked in at #TheGrandHacienda, #TheCasitaDelLago and #AbiquiuLakeMesa in large numbers! While we know them as the Rufous Hummingbird, their scientific name is the Selasphorus rufus, and they are members of the Trochilidae family. They will live between 3 to 5 years. The smallest hummingbird, their size is about 3.75 inches and they weigh only about 3 grams. At The Grand Hacienda B&B, we have five

Weekend Update: Oct 19 - 20
Be sure to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather and views this weekend. The high on Saturday will be around 64 and 56 on Sunday - cooler temps but still hot in the sun. Perfect hiking weather. The cottonwoods are changing and the vistas are incredible in every direction. Also, this is a great weekend for bird watching - the birds are very active and we just saw an eagle over Abiquiu Lake.

"Highly Recommended"
Over the years, we’ve been privileged to earn many awards, recognitions and five-star reviews. Each and every one means a lot of us because we work really hard to provide awesome vacation rental experiences out here in Abiquiú. To us, the vacation rental journey isn’t just about providing high quality, well-furnished beautiful homes (although we do that, too) – it’s more about providing an authentic experience for guests who visit the area. We all know that not all vacatio

"Stand Still, and Learn to Be Astonished."
58 artists. 25 different studio/stops. Photography, paintings, sculpture, metal work, wood work, textiles, jewelry, ceramics, soaps, candles, masks, birdhouses – and more. The 25th annual #AbiquiuStudioTour did not disappoint! As we drove from studio stop to studio stop, following the well-marked route with map in hand (and on the phone map), we discussed the awesome job the tour planners did this year – large pink flags marked the studios along the road, studio numbers were

Hello to our family of guests and friends of The Casita del Lago and Abiquiú Lake Mesa!

Hummingbirds - Carrying Messages of Love and Joy
‘Tis the season of the chuparosa, or hummingbird. Our recent guests at The Casita del Lago (#TheCasitaDelLago), visiting all the way from Amsterdam, told us that they loved watching the hummingbirds outside. We were happy to explain that in New Mexico, we have 17 different species of hummingbirds, and you can see many of those species in the spring and fall as they migrate. We are blessed that they love to hang out outside our windows – creating a show better than TV. Hummi
