This 1960's style split level duplex home has been remodeled to create a home hostel downstairs and also an Inn upstairs.

We are located 3.5 miles north of I-40 at exit 175 right on the mountain or west side of Highway 14. Its a short walk from the Hostel to get into Cibola National Forest, going up our road. We have ample off street parking on our property for multiple vehicles and bicycles, with storage for bikes in a shed. There are multiple restaurants, a grocery store and other businesses within walking distance of the Hostel. We will be available to assist you as needed, but will leave you alone to enjoy the space with your group. We are a mountain community with walking access to Cibola National Forest, several restaurants, a grocery store with health food and a deli, a post office and other shopping opportunities within a 1/2 mile of the Hostel. We are a 15 minute drive to Albuquerque or a 45 minute scenic drive on the Turquoise Trail through multiple mining towns to Santa Fe for multiple cultural opportunities. There is no public transportation here, so visitors must arrive by some kind of private vehicle such as a car or bicycle. ** Please contact us first before booking to approve pets who need to be inside! ** **Please read and agree to the additional rules we have posted under "Things to Know" and "show more" prior to booking. **We are practicing Covid-19 safety, so we ask that you not come if you are ill or have been exposed to someone who is ill and are quarantining for 14 days. All visitors must be fully vaccinated and currently free of covid-19. Self-screening, mask wearing in all public spaces outside of your vehicle and private dwelling, social distancing and extra cleaning are being used to provide a safer environment according to NM Public Health guidelines for lodging. Please call or write us if you have special needs or questions and we will try to accommodate you to the best of our ability! ** **In the winter, we often get heavy snowstorms, making travel harder. We make every effort to clear the parking area as soon as possible so guests can come and go as needed. Highway 14 is usually kept open during storms. Please call ahead to check on conditions if storms are predicted for the area. **Other Information: The Hostel is located on the lower floor of a split level home. The upper floor houses the Inn and this whole area is off limit to Hostel guests, unless the Inn areas are also being rented. The walls are thin, so sound can travel if there is loud noises. We ask all to please be respectful of other guests so all can have a comfortable stay here. Additionally, Hostel guests get a cheap price in exchange for being asked to do a chore towards clean up each day, and to strip your beds and put our linens in laundry when you leave. There is no daily cleaning service except what is completed by guests, unless otherwise arranged. Cleaning fees are for a deep cleaning done after guests leave to prepare the hostel for the next guests and the cost of laundry and other supplies. We look forward to hosting you soon!
