This vacation home rental served as the original heritage ranch headquarters for what once was the home place of a 100,000 acre working cattle ranch. This 2 bedroom guest house has been carefully, lovingly refurbished, upgraded and (just slightly) remodeled, while continuing to reflect the charm and character of early ranch living in southwest New Mexico. Including the 16'x24' screened Veranda porch, you'll have nearly 1400 square feet of comfortable living space to call 'home'. New Mexico Cabin Rentals chose the historic heritage Double E Ranch headquarters as a representation of an authentic Territorial Style New Mexico ranch home first built in the mid 1800's.
