Nestled in the warm embrace of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Cimarron, New Mexico is the historic inn Casa del Gavilan. A place of spirit--where hawk and eagle soar--this grand adobe villa was built 1910-1912 for Jack and Gertrude Nairn, formerly of Hartford, Connecticut. When completed, artists and writers from far and wide came to enjoy the Nairns' elegant hospitality and to capture the majestic beauty that is New Mexico. With twelve-foot high ceilings, vigas, and eighteen-inch thick walls, Casa del Gavilan (House of the Hawk) is a showplace of early Pueblo-revival architecture featuring artwork and sculptures by Frederick Remington, Charles Russell, Robert Redbird, and others. 

Surrounded by Philmont Scout Ranch, and two miles from Philmont's base camp area, the Casa del Gavilan offers exceptional views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, hiking trails, and peace and solitude so rare these days. All guest rooms have private bathrooms with a bathtub/shower. A full breakfast is served to guests daily at 8:30 am.

There is no air conditioning except for the Beaubien Guest Room, though the cool mountain breezes and thick adobe walls keep the rooms comfortable during the summer. There are no televisions for guests' use at the Casa, nor are there telephones in the guest rooms. Wifi internet is available throughout most of the Casa. The Casa del Gavilan is located in a very remote, rural setting one mile off the highway on a gravel road. Several restaurants are located six miles away in Cimarron. Hours and days the restaurants are open vary widely depending upon the season. Our guests treasure the uncommon tranquility of the Casa and surrounding property. If this type of solitude is not what you are looking for, or if you would prefer an on-site bar or restaurant, there are other accommodations in Cimarron for your visit to the area.

Rates from $153 - $280 per night including a full breakfast served daily at 8:30 am.

Microwave and refrigerator available for guest use in a shared kitchenette.

Check-in 3:00 or later. If you will be arriving after 8:00 pm please call a day in advance. Check-out 11:00 am.

We are pleased to announce the  Casa del Gavilan has recently been admitted to the New Mexico Register of Cultural Properties, as well as the National Register of Historic Places, as ". . . among the earliest  and most accomplished examples of a residence designed in the Pueblo Revival style in New Mexico".
