It has been through some changes over the years, even slipping into seediness for a while, as old roadside motels tend to do. Luckily, it survived that phase, and it's mid-century spirit has been reawakened. All of the rooms are now themed - you can choose from the Santa Fe Trail Room, the Man Cave, the Sombrero, the Matador, the Pin Up or even Lucky Thirteen. Raton itself is a charming, somewhat

gritty little burg, with a downtown full of historic buildings and lots of interesting lore. The entire downtown is on the National Register of Historic Places, and you can go to a movie in a theater that first opened in 1930, or attend a show at the Schuler, which opened over one hundred years ago. Raton now has it's own microbrewery and craft cocktail bar. Things are starting to happen in Raton, which is super exciting for us to see. Come stay with us. We treat our guests like part of our big, quirky and interesting family!

Be Bear Aware!

For the past couple weeks we've seen evidence of bear activity mostly in the driveway/alley behind the motel and next to our house (near the glamping garden). But no actual bear sightings (yet).

So, we put up a sign to remind folks to be cautious. Yes, we really do have bears. Right here. On the property.

Yesterday, Michael finally got a glimpse of the bear--a big ol' cinnamon black bear--sprinting across the driveway/alley, up the hill behind the glamping garden, and into the woods. No time to snap for photos. The bear was on a mission!

So, keep your eyes peeled and make some noise.

The Big Red Flags 🚩

You are trying to book a room with us (your favorite motel), but something isn't adding up.

▪️You don’t receive a confirmation email from us
▪️The website URL looks… off (extra words, weird domain)
▪️The phone number isn’t clearly ours (📞 575-445-3641, tattoo it on your brain)
