Comfortable and clean with great mountain view. Staff is excellent and friendly. Historical is correct as you look around inside. Great patio area. Probably not many places left like this. Located in the country. Wish we could have stayed a few more days.

The place has a special meaning for guests visiting neighboring Philmont Scout Ranch but it will be a welcomed getaway for anyone seeking a nature themed Western getaway. The inn keepers were welcoming and courteous. The family table home made breakfast was a highlight of the stay. The rooms were down to earth luxurious .

This was our final overnight stay on a spectacular eight-day late September / early October trip that my wife and I took in Colorado and northern New Mexico. Actually, most of the trip was pre-planned months in advance, but our side venture into New Mexico and a stay at the wonderful Casa del Gavilan was a bit of a last minute change in plans. We were extremely fortunate to be able to stay in the Phillips Guest Room, which was the favorite room of Jack Nairn, the founder and original proprietor of this historic inn. All the five star reviews of the Casa del Gavilan are well-deserved. This is a very special place with an incredibly beautiful natural setting, remarkable history, magnificent historical architecture, comfortable rooms, and gracious hospitality. A stay at the Casa del Gavilan is good for the soul! My wife and I are already thinking about a return trip, maybe in the spring?

It was conveniently close to the Philmont Scout Ranch. The reading rooms were quiet and comfortable. Having access to kitchen facilities was handy since restaurants in the area are scarce and unpredictible.

Quiet, lovely historic inn

This is an amazing place to stay. We were not able to take advantage of the peace and quiet like we wished, due to our tight travel schedule. Definitely plan to spend time here to get the full experience.

In the morning if you enjoy bird watching please go to the east front patio. Put on your Merlin app. And see how many lovely birds join you while drinking your coffee. Next time we go we will be getting up earlier so that we can enjoy the sun and birds. The view is so lovely and listening to the wind travel through the mountains is just so wonderful. Not hearing traffic is just wonderful. And star glazing is soooo special. Thank you Kimberly and staff for providing such a lovely unique experience!!
