Rancho Arriba is a small bed and breakfast and ranch in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico. The B&B lies at the edge of the Kit Carson National Forest, four miles from the Pecos Wilderness boundary and one half mile east of the village of Truchas.
At 8400 feet elevation it affords a spectacular view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the east and the Jemez range to the west. The pointed volcano seen from the porch is the Pedernal mesa painted so often by Georgia O'Keefe.
Rancho Arriba offers a rural tranquility and informal charm to those seeking a unique retreat. The hacienda is of traditional "Biblical brick" (adobe) construction with a colonial style courtyard (plaza). The guest wing has viga and latilla ceilings, handmade furniture, and a kiva fireplace.
All facilities are shared: we have three rooms and two and one half baths. A full breakfast is served family style with eggs, tea and freshly ground coffee. Breakfast is cooked on a wood stove.
