Description
Our Retreat Center at San Geronimo Lodge is a rural retreat center in the high desert of northern New Mexico. Our property is 100 years old and sits on 3 acres which include a seasonal swimming pool, sauna, yoga yurt, meditation path and 19 rooms. We are close enough to the town of Taos but just far away to experience peace and quiet. Our property is near tons of hiking trails and just 40 minutes away from Taos Ski Valley and 5 minutes away from the Historic Taos Pueblo. We host a variety of retreats (yoga, meditation, writing, etc) throughout the year and we also operate as a lodge. We are growing and need housekeeping and general upkeep around the property. Workawayers can expect lodging NM state minimum wage, and new friends ;)
