River Valley Casita Airbnb Near Four Corners New Mexico
May 18, 2021
Following a week-long trip to Grand Canyon National Park and other amazing Arizona hidden gems, we wanted to rest and recuperate for a few days on the way back to our home base in Colorado. Located in the four corners region of New Mexico, we discovered a darling casita where we could do just that.
Set under the shade of dreamy cottonwood trees is River Valley Casita, an 800-square-foot guest house with comfy furnishings, an absolutely gorgeous spa-like bathroom, everything you need to cook and relax, and several friendly farm pets to greet you when you arrive.
We loved sitting on the back porch, playing with the host’s family pets, and hiking down to the Animas River, which is just a short walk behind the property. But this casita would also make a great jumping-off point for exploring sights in the four corners region of New Mexico and southern Colorado, including Mesa Verde National Park, located about 1 hour away by car.

We love storytelling in all its amazing formats. As a photographer and online publisher, Adobe is a critical tool for running my business. Their creative cloud membership incorporating Lightroom and Photoshop speeds up my workflow and helps me make my images look their best. If you’re new to Adobe and the Creative Cloud membership, they have several plans to fit your creative needs, but the $9.99/mo photography plan allows you to access Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and Photoshop from anywhere your photography takes you.
