Outstanding property and host
This was my second stay at Paradise Pond, and was even more enjoyable than the first. It's in a quiet setting with plenty of woodland to explore and lots of bird and wildlife activity on the pond, but just a quick hop to Santa Fe, and with easy access to Taos and Abiquiu/Ghost Ranch. The casita is spacious, well-equipped, and spotlessly clean. Tom is the perfect host, very friendly and always happy to make travel suggestions. There's also a nice library of maps, brochures, and books on the area that he shares with the guests. The best!

Peaceful Stay with Local Charm
This casita is connected to the main house but you have privacy. The owner is helpful and pleasant. The view of the pond was fun - we saw ducks, geese, birds, beavers, and a turtle, even in February. This is a small local community with some charming areas to explore and reasonable distance to other nearby attractions. We drove the high road to Taos, the Enchanted Circle, and back to Chimayo via the low road. Other nearby places we visited were Bandolier National Monument, Los Alamos, and an evening in Santa Fe to hear local musicians. Chimayo has a famous church, the restaurant Rancho de Chimayo, and is known for weaving. Cell service is poor throughout this area, but the wifi at the casita worked very well for one of us to work remotely, and we used wifi calling with no issues. The best part of our stay was the beauty of the area and living/meeting local residents. We learned so much about the local Chimayo chiles, and the whole area.

Staying at the Beaver Pond in Chimayo
I gave this a 4 rating only because we were sitting under the heat dome, and simply trusting in adobe to keep us cool was not enough. IT was great fun visiting with Tom and his neighbors, watching the beavers build the damn, listening to frogs, we even saw a blue heron - huming birds and tons of other birds - Beautiful spot. Ant ehe heat some is not the host's fault. I was just too hot by the end of our time there which is just what it is these days. For my own sake, in future I will make sure wherever I go there is air conditioning. The hot weather was unexpected and unprecedented,

Secluded nature get away
The casita was bigger than expected & more secluded than expected. The one bedroom was king sized & roomy, more than just a bed. The bathroom was huge. The living room was set up so you could relax and look out over the pond. It was great seeing the beaver swim around at dusk, the frogs croaking & lots of birds- several hummingbirds flitted around. Nicely secluded so you didn't have traffic noise. No need for AC, the casita stayed nice & comfortable. Tom provided a helpful list of restaurants & the breezeway is filled with maps & information for lots of activities & places to see. We had a wonderful time.

We had an enjoyable stay at Toms place. It was hard to find but it is a gem in it’s area.
We would like to return to this spot when the weather is a bit warmer and all the vegetation around the pond is greener. We were there in March. We enjoyed the wildlife and the privacy.
