Good questions.

Yes. When you book the Cliff House you rent the entire private property: the house, patios, grounds, meadow and the riverbanks on both sides of the Pecos. There are no shared spaces and no other guests.

The Cliff House sits on private property along both banks of the Pecos River, with a meadow and campsites by the river, and private trails beneath the bluffs and through the boulders around the house. The national forest entrance is just down the road.

Up to 7: a king bed in the open-plan master sleeping area (a heavy privacy drape separates it from the living room), a queen in the separate guest bedroom, a queen sleeper sofa in the living area and a twin XL rollaway. There is one large bathroom. For larger groups, please ask before booking.

Yes, with prior approval. Traveling with family or bringing your camper? Pecos River Cliff House offers private RV and travel-trailer hookups with electricity and fresh water for approved guests. There is no sewer hookup or dump station. The entire property is reserved exclusively for your group—never shared with other renters.

We are not an RV park or campground, and we do not rent RV spaces separately. RV hookups are only for members of your Cliff House group. Guests sleeping in an RV do not count toward the house’s 7-guest limit, but the RV and the number of people staying in it must be approved in advance—additional guests are not automatically permitted. Please message us through Airbnb or Vrbo before booking to request approval.

Yes, a seasonal waterfall roughly 30 feet wide and 30 feet tall, right beside the house. It runs during the monsoon season, typically July through October, when storms hit the surrounding area, ranging from a gentle stream to a powerful torrent depending on the rainfall. Please stay away from the waterfall and its drainage area during and after any storm. The river spillway below the house is a separate feature: the Pecos flows over the property's dam year-round.

Yes. Rainbow and brown trout are found in this stretch of the Pecos, and you can fish throughout the year from the property's riverbanks, subject to New Mexico fishing regulations and licensing, river conditions and seasonal restrictions.

Yes, with advance approval. The Cliff House has hosted weddings before, and intimate weddings and small ceremonies are welcome, subject to property guidelines. There is no additional wedding fee for approved weddings; standard lodging charges apply. We don't provide planning, catering or other event services. See Weddings & Intimate Ceremonies or contact us for details.

Yes. There are multiple campsites near the river for registered Cliff House guests. Campfires are permitted only when local fire restrictions and property rules allow. Let us know when you book if you plan to camp.
