The Shangrila Cabin

The “Shangrila Cabin” is a wonderful “Off Grid” getaway. A place where you can unplug from the world, relax in natures beauty, peace and quiet. A place where you can reacquaint with “You”. Get back to the basics and unplug (there is no internet or tv service). Being surrounded by nature, allows one to truly relax and enjoy the peaceful and beautiful surroundings. The cabin sits on a hill amongst tall Pine, Pinyon, Scrub Oaks and various species of Juniper trees. A peek through the trees shows distant rock formations and Mesas. Wildlife in the area consists of Elk, Deer, Coyote, Mountain Lion, Bobcat, Bear many bird species, Hummingbirds and much more. Relax outside and watch what may wonder by, both land and air. Take a walk amongst the tall trees and hear the quiet solitude the mountains provide. Sitting at approximately 7300 elevation, in the high desert mountains close to the Continental Divide, the weather can be unpredictable. The cabin is closed for the winters due to the extreme cold temps, heavy rains and snows received, that make the roads problematic. Spring temps will still bring cold nights in the 20’s to day temps ranging from the 60’s to 80’s with late snowfalls and spring rains. Summer temps can range from as low as the 40’s to the high 90’s. The rainy season usually starts in July and runs to September, making for muddy roads. So 4 wheel or all wheel drive may be recommended since the road to the cabin is dirt. We also recommend guests to bring layers of clothes (jackets, sweaters, etc) for increment weather conditions.

This approximately 300sft one room cabin has all the amenities one needs to escape the outside world. With a queen size bed in the main part and another in the loft, it can sleep 4 comfortably. The kitchenette has an apartment size fridge, sink, a butane burner and all the kitchen essentials needed. A grill is provided for more cooking options. The bathroom features a large walk in shower and toilet. The cabin being off grid has a large 300 gal outside tank that feeds to the indoor plumbing. The on- demand water heater gives all the hot water needed. We do ask guests to be water conscious. There is sufficient solar panels and batteries for all electrical needs. However for those multiple days when the sun doesn’t shine, a remote controlled back up generator can be used. The heat source is provided by an in the wall propane heater, which works very effectively. There is a small yard for your fur babies to hang out in while you enjoy the cabin and its surroundings. We ask guests to not leave their pets unattended in the cabin or yard.

The interior of the cabin has all the creature comforts a guest should need, with the exception of food. Some Toiletries are provided, along with various teas and coffees. A TV and a large variety of DVD’s are provided for cozy nights of viewing, along with all bedding, towels, blankets, Pillows, dog bed and bowls, out door seating and more.

Located approximately 55 miles from Grants, 75 miles from Gallup, 35 miles from Pueblo of Zuni, 18 miles from Ramah and 2 hrs from Albuquerque, the cabin is situated close to a variety of unique activities and places to visit. Below is a list of a few.

Just down the road from the cabin is “Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary”. Enjoy the sound of the wolfs howling from the sanctuary. For more info visit their website: www.wildspiritwolfsanctuary.org
