Starry Skies & Fresh Air Glamping Escape

Experience a true winter retreat in the Manzano Mountains. The nights are cold, the stars endless, and the air filled with the scent of pine. Bring warm clothes and discover how refreshing it feels to slow down and reconnect with nature’s rhythm.

Set in the heart of New Mexico’s Manzano Mountains, the Pinetop Glamping Tent at Manzano Mountain Retreat offers the perfect mix of rustic adventure and modern comfort. Across 140 acres of apple orchards, rolling meadows, shady pines, and wide-open skies, our retreat is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.

Your private tent captures the magic of camping with the comfort of a cozy hideaway. Inside, you’ll find a plush king bed, fresh linens, heating, AC, and electrical outlets — everything you need for a restful night beneath starry skies. Step outside in the morning to crisp mountain air, birdsong, and the scent of Ponderosa pines, a refreshing shift from daily routines.

Amenities include:

- Comfortable king bed with linens, duvet & pillows
- Air conditioning & heating for year-round comfort
- Mini-fridge & coffee machine
- Power outlets & interior lighting
- Fresh towels provided
- Outdoor seating to take in the mountain views

Life at Manzano Mountain Retreat moves with the rhythm of the land. Families enjoy meeting our miniature donkeys, Highland cows, ponies, and peacocks. Couples wander quiet orchard paths or relax along forest trails. Adventurers set off into the Cibola National Forest or explore the historic Quarai Ruins, while others spend lazy afternoons by the pool or evenings gathered around the firepit.

Dining is part of the charm. On weekends, start your day with a hearty breakfast buffet. Weekdays feature fresh, made-to-order meals, and the Mercantile shop offers snacks, drinks, and local goods daily. In the fall, our orchards come alive with harvest traditions, cider pressing, and donuts that keep guests returning year after year.

Guests often tell us they leave feeling lighter, more connected, and full of memories. Whether it’s a romantic getaway, family adventure, or personal retreat, you’ll find the pace unhurried, the welcome genuine, and the mountains embracing you with calm.
