It's a slice of heaven. Immediately adjacent to Philmont Scout Ranch. Setting is perfect, isolated, peaceful. The innkeeper are exceptional. The Casa is like a villa with rooms arra get around a gracious patio. I hated to leave.

This place is amazing! We enjoyed our night at the Casa and wish we could have stayed longer. The drive in is special, you will see prairie dogs and antelope. The historic property is beautiful and the stars at night will blow you away. The innkeeper is super nice. She made sure to accommodate my picky eater when she made breakfast. There is a full kitchen with snacks and drinks you can help yourself too. After we checked out we had some time to kill and hung out in the library for a few hours. It is very welcoming, with big couches and lots of games.

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.

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.

We stayed two nights while travelling to meet a crew coming off the trail at Philmont. Wonderful experience...great property, excellent hosts, terrific breakfast each day. We particularly loved walking out back for an up close view of the iconic Tooth of Time. We would love to stay here again.

This is the 3rd stay here over the last 3 years. Very tranquil, quiet, and relaxing. I have stayed in three different rooms and they all have great western ambiance. Nice trails around the property to take a walk and view the Tooth of Time or meadows with deer, antelope, and a bear, along with the occasional cow or horse are roaming about. Highly recommended.

Top notch

The stay was above and beyond. Even though I went for work my nights were so pleasant I didn’t want to return home. Cozy! It reminded me of my parents’s Tudor style house growing up. So peaceful. I saw deer eating food nearby then two adorable dairy cows. Very clean devoid of any strange smells to mask anything. Impeccable service. I got a breakfast baggie for bc I had to go to work early which was yummy. Thank you very much.

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?
