Vacation Rental & Retreat Info - Remote Elegance in an Ancient Landscape
Oso Vista Ranch, located 2 hours west of Albuquerque on Scenic Byway 53, offers comfortable, yet elegant, Santa Fe style accommodations. At 7400 feet above sea level, visitors enjoy hiking in the clean air and breath-taking beauty of the Zuni mountains of New Mexico. Pristine views across our sandstone studded valley, will delight your spirit and inspire the renewal of your body, mind, and spirit.
Our 88.8-acre ranch and the surrounding area has fascinating historical and cultural significance. Numerous Anasazi ruin sites, dating to approximately 900 AD, dot the Oso Vista property and surrounding hills.
One of the most scenic and significant of these sites is a kiva located, just 3 miles from the ranch, at El Morro National Monument. Visitors to El Morro Monument enjoy the fascination of the world’s largest cultural and historical outdoor archive. Inscriptions left behind on the rocks tell the stories of Spanish Conquistadors searching for gold and weary westward settlers heading for the promise of California. These carvings intermingle with ancient petroglyphs created by the original and still present inhabitants of the area.
Oso Vista Ranch borders the Ramah Navajo community and is 30 picturesque miles from Zuni Pueblo, giving visitors access to Native American marketplaces, dances and guided walks.
