Blue Sky Retreat Center at the Historic San Geronimo Lodge is a historic property that was built in 1925.
It is a signature New Mexico style adobe construction with a chili pepper-shaped swimming pool (open from Memorial Day to Labor Day), a hot tub (open year-round), a yoga yurt, a Native American sweat lodge, a meditation path, a garden and a labyrinth. It has been a farm house, a sanatorium, a boarding school and now a bed & breakfast and a retreat center that can host yoga, meditation, art retreats, company gatherings, weddings and family reunions.
We have 18 uniquely decorated rooms that vary from a cozy and romantic get-away for 2 with a warm and inviting fire place to larger rooms that can host a family of 6 or 7. Every room has its own full bathroom.
Blue Sky Retreat Center and bed & breakfast has a spacious dining hall that can be a beautiful space for a wedding reception, a formal dinner for a large group of people, or an inviting space for a yoga retreat for 30-50. Â Roger and
Albina are the owners of Blue Sky Retreat Center.
Albina’s mother, Marina, is an exceptional cook and she will prepare all of our meals with lots of love and care.
P.S. due to CV19, the hot tubs is currently closed and the sweat lodges are not a good idea. Â On a sunny day, we will be practicing yoga in the yurt. Â Blue Sky is just a few yards away from the Kit Carson National Forrest, which makes it a perfect spot for a walking meditation.
P.P.S. the rooms with fireplaces are on first come, first serve basis. Â If you want a room with a fireplace, book your spot ASAP and let Albina know your room preference. Â Look at all the rooms HERE
