Getting to New Mexico
Fly into Albuquerque International Airport. From there you can take a shuttle to the rental car center. Let the healing begin.
Where to Stay
We have a dream of one day building guest 'casitas' but right now, our place is not practical for overnight guests. In the meantime, here is a list of nearby accommodations.
Accomodations
1- Rancho Manzana: Our friend Jodi's place. She has quiet, nice rooms. Tell her Victor and Steven sent you.
2- Hacienda Rancho de Chimayo: Another inn (across from the Rancho de Chimayo Restaurant where we had our ceremony).
3- Casa Escondida: We don't know them personally, but this Chimayo B&B seems nice as another option.
4- Inn at the Delta: A very nice inn in nearby Española.
5- The Homewood Suites: where a lot of our guests stayed for our ceremony. It's about a 15 minute drive from Chimayo.
6- Buffalo Thunder Resort: The MASSIVE Hotel/Casino (across the parking lot from #5 above). This is the anti-B&B, but they have EVERYTHING- spa, pool, shops, cafeteria, etc. And available rooms, if nobody else does.
7– Santa Claran Hotel and Casino: In nearby Espanola. Works in a pinch… relatively cheap and new/clean.
