The SOLO @ OJO
Welcome to your own private writing retreat, nestled in the mountains of Northern New Mexico.
At The SOLO @ OJO, you’ll find the quiet you’ve been craving—undisturbed time to write, dream, and create—surrounded by the rhythms of an organic farm. Think: dairy cows, chickens, gardens in bloom, and a few very helpful cats (the best kind of writing companions, obviously).
The space includes three dedicated writing areas (one outdoors for those golden summer sessions), and—this part makes us giddy—a cozy library filled exclusively with books by our favorite women authors.
Yes, there’s basically a feminist bookstore in the casita.
Come and write. Come rest.
Come be exactly who you are on the page.
Writers, Let’s Go…
Every writer needs a space.
That’s why we created The SOLO @ OJO—a quiet refuge tucked in the mountains, where the noise of the world softens and the work can begin. We’ve done a lot of writing up here, and now we want to share that stillness with you.
The world doesn’t often hand writers solitude or silence. We have to seek it. Protect it. Sometimes, we even have to apply for it.
But I believe in the value of carving out space for your voice, your vision, your work.
You deserve that space. You deserve the time to follow your creative thread wherever it leads.
We believe in what you’re making.
Let’s make space for it—together.
“I cannot thank you enough for your hospitality and for having created this little piece of paradise for us. I do not say this often, but these weeks here were truly special for us. They allowed us time and space to focus on our work, but most importantly on ourselves, finding answers we’d been looking for for years. We are also truly inspired by you both, by what you built and how you built it. We hope to have the opportunity to come back again soon.”
