"Beauties from Eagle Nest Lake, NM"
Eagle Nest Lake, right outside our back door, is world renown for trout fishing.
Just over the pass, is the Cimarron River where the fly fishing is legendary.
We have been told that the hotel has a lady ghost who lives upstairs and
visits the dining room on occasion, using the hidden staircase.
Our dining room was once the lobby of the El Monte Hotel, built circa 1890s.
The Saloon dates back to 1898.
Back then gold nuggets from the mining camps in Baldy
Town & Elizabethtown passed over the gambling tables.
That's over 110 years of history. Imagine
New Mexico Governors and other well-to-do elite mixing with gold miners
and mountain men in outlaw casinos and a hotel of ill repute.

Extensive upgrades make our rooms as
comfortable as home.
