Our location is a great launch point to easily get to many Northern New Mexico attractions. We are walking distance to world famous Ortegas Weaving, Santuario de Chimayo- with it's healing earth- boasts the largest yearly pilgrimage in North America, and Rancho de Chimayo restaurant~margaritas, chips and guacamole anyone! Keep in mind we are in the country and there are no city amenities, so gas up before you get here and grab whatever you need from the market. The property is a true hidden gem, a New Mexico treasure, rich with history. We are located on the historic Plaza del Cerro, which dates back to the mid-1700's. The main building spans the south side of the plaza. Once the town square, it housed the post office and mercantile store. We have gone to great lengths, over 30 plus years, to lovingly restore the building and bring the property back to life. Provided in each room is "Sabino's Map", a terrific book about the old plaza, including historic photographs. We are very pleased to be able to share this special place with you and hope you deeply enjoy your stay. During your stay, you will have access to the entire four acre property, including the pond and apple orchard. Upon request, we are happy to provide wood for a bonfire in the fire pit. We have ample parking and can easily accommodate touring vehicles. Safely store bikes, ski equipment, and camping gear on the premises during your excursions. We have been happily hosting guests here for 25 years! We will give you space while you are here, but are available for you, if you should need anything at all, including local recommendations. If there is anything we can do to make your stay perfect, let us know. We are in the country and we have a strict cut-off of 10:00PM for all guests checking-in.
