Welcome to Cliff River Springs! This beautiful getaway near Ojo Caliente in La Madera is the perfect retreat for everyone and anyone.

Most people aren't aware that Ojo Caliente is the perfect location for a getaway. This family-owned ranch has been renovated into eight charming casitas and this Northern New Mexico getaway is right on the edge of the forest near all of the hikes and nature views you desire.

One of the best amenities on this ranch is the Mother Spring. This natural spring-fed pond is the perfect sanctuary in which to take a dip and surround yourself in pure nature.

The pond is fed from an acequia that provides natural water from the earth. From within your casita, you can hear peaceful rushing waters for the perfect background.

The casitas themselves are rustic and designed in true Southwest style, while still offering all of the amenities you need.

There are eight different casitas to choose from, and if you're bringing a large group you can even rent all eight. Each house has its own charm — and all of them are fully stocked with breakfast essentials.

The Stream House is the biggest of them all, and is right by the acequia for the best views and sounds. Whether you're looking for a casita spacious enough for the whole family or you just want an intimate getaway, all of the casitas are comfortable, cozy, and serene.

Scenic vistas like the nearby Tecolote Mountain, as well as nearby trails like the Rio Ojo Caliente, are filled with beauty. The grasslands tend to attract wildlife, so don't be surprised if you run into an elk, bobcat, or many other animals.

While engulfed in hills, valleys, and floating in natural springs, this little getaway is truly your own personal New Mexico. Sit back and relax, or get out on the trails, but don't forget to truly take it all in at Cliff River Springs.
