Nestled in the foothills 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 about 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 Pueblo-revival architecture exhibiting artwork and sculptures by Frederick Remington, Charles Russell, Robert Redbird, and others.

In the shadow of the Tooth of Time, the Casa is adjacent to Philmont Scout Ranch and the Santa Fe Trail. Villa Vidale, Kit Carson's home, and several fine museums are nearby. Eagle Nest Lake, Angel Fire and Red River ski resorts, and Taos are all within easy driving distance.

The courtyard of the Casa del Gavilan has been undergoing a year long renovation. Our guests can sit under the shade of the ramada and

watch the sunset on the Tooth of Time. Have a cool drink, unwind, and experience the serenity of the New Mexico evening.
