Innkeeper(s) - Cimarron, NM

Innkeeper (couple or individual)position available starting March 2020  six miles south of Cimarron, New Mexico. We are a 1912 adobe villa on 225 acres in a stunning, remote setting adjacent to Philmont Scout Ranch. The Casa has 5 guest rooms, as well as a two room Guest House, all with private baths. Listed on New Mexico Registry of Cultural Properties and 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"

While many people think New Mexico is mostly desert, and one needs a passport to get there, I'm happy to say neither is correct. Cimarron is located on the front range of the Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico. The landscape is much more like Colorado than what one typically thinks of as New Mexico. To the east lie the high plains of northeastern New Mexico. Mountains a few miles to the west rise to over 11,000 feet. Deer and turkey are common, elk, fox, and bobcat are occasionally seen. Raton, New Mexico (pop 6,000) is just under an hour. Taos, New Mexico is an hour and 15 minutes. Santa Fe is two and a half hours.

While many of our guests come to visit to the Scout Ranch - mostly during the summer months - the majority of guests are unassociated with the Scout Ranch and come to visit this very special destination inn. We have a terrific regular clientele that is most appreciative of the Casa and our staff. The Casa has excellent reviews on Tripadvisor, Travelocity, etc, and was included on bedandbreakfast.com's "Top 25 Inns" in 2017.

Due to the size of the inn with 7 guest rooms this is very much a hands-on position rather than overseeing a staff. Duties include the typical tasks such as reservations, guest services, shopping, cooking, housekeeping, laundry, light maintenance, etc. Local housekeeper takes care of most housekeeping duties, but some housekeeping by innkeeper will be necessary. Applicants must be self-motivated, organized, very detail oriented, personable and professional. Experience, excellent references, and background check required. On-site apartment (separate from the guest rooms and common rooms) and utilities provided in addition to salary.
