With forest views, a lovely open floor plan, a woodburning fireplace, detached guest house, and more, this home makes the perfect retreat from city life. Experience the tranquility of the woods and all the adventure Angel Fire has to offer at Sagebrush Lodge.

All of this comes with a large private property that backs to the AF trail system and greenbelt which promises great wildlife-watching opportunities and easy access to the hiking trails that will take you all around the Village of Angel Fire.

This house is part of the Mountain Serenity Rentals group, an elite group of family-owned properties providing the absolute best of what Angel Fire has to offer. Mountain Serenity Rentals is a small but mighty team started by husband and wife duo Eric and Cheryl in 2006. What began with one house and a small dream has since grown into our true passion: offering families from all over the opportunity to make memories in the mountains in beautiful, clean, up-to-date, and well-maintained homes. At Mountain Serenity Rentals, we intentionally market only a handful of properties so we can provide the highest level of service. We believe you deserve all the things you need for a great stay, and don’t want to nickle and dime you for them. Our homes are stocked with firewood for fireplaces and fire pits, propane for gas grills, detergent for laundry machines, and all the basics for kitchens and bathrooms. If you are ever missing something during your stay, don’t hesitate to reach out! We have gathered a tremendous amount of knowledge over the years, but actively value feedback from our guests so we can continue to improve and provide excellence.
