5 Waterfront Retreats In New Mexico That Are Perfect For Warm Weather Adventures

I get it — New Mexico just isn’t known for its water. While there are several lakes dotting the state’s terrain and rivers running through, the Land of Enchantment is best known for its desert and mountainous landscape. So, you may not think that there are waterfront retreats in New Mexico but I’m here to tell you that there are! If you’d like to make an escape to a waterfront getaway, here are a few to consider:

Inside the home are two bedrooms, one bathroom, a washer and dryer, an indoor fireplace, and a beautiful kitchen. Head outdoors and you'll discover an outdoor dining area, a fire pit, a hammock, and a BBQ grill. There's even a kayak for you to borrow if you'd like to take a paddle on the river.
