La Mesa Bunkhouse & Horse Barn is located on a large, six-generation, family-owned, working cattle ranch in northeastern New Mexico. We are located near Trinchera Pass, part of the historic Goodnight-Loving Trail (north of Folsom, NM, and south of the tiny town of Trinchera, CO). Our fully appointed bunkhouse combines modern amenities with rustic charm, making it ready to host your family, friends, and horses (if you choose) for a relaxing retreat. You'll have full access to the Bunkhouse that sleeps six and the attached horse barn and nearby indoor riding area. There are plenty of trails for you and your horse to enjoy. The Bunkhouse has rustic Saltillo tile throughout. It has one private bedroom with a king bed and a TV/DVD player. The large multipurpose room has an open layout and lodge-style decor. It contains four twin beds, cozy seating for six, a foosball table, a pool table, a flat-screen smart TV/DVD player, a collection of DVDs, and ample board games for your enjoyment. You'll have everything you need to prepare delicious meals in the kitchen that is fully equipped with pots, pans, small appliances, and a Keurig coffee maker. There is a gas grill on the porch. The dining room seats six at the table and four at the breakfast bar. There is one bathroom with a shower, and a laundry room with a washer/dryer and a large upright freezer. Cornhole and horseshoes provide additional entertainment options. Wi-Fi is provided. The attached horse barn has 9 stalls, 6 of which have outside runs. There are also plenty of outside pens and fresh water for your horses. A 200' x 90' indoor riding arena is available, and there is access to trails on the ranch. There is ample parking for multiple vehicles. You'll enjoy the peaceful setting and the unobstructed view of the stars. The nearest towns with services, Raton, NM, and Trinidad, CO, are both about a one-hour drive away. You'll be away from it all but close enough to make easy day trips to the Folsom Museum (17 miles), Capulin National Monument (24 miles), Sugarite Canyon State Park (35 miles), or Trinidad Lake State Park (47 miles). Please be sure to pack everything you'll need to enjoy your stay. Our location is remote and accessible only by dirt roads. We are located near the area known as the “Raton Ridge”, and our elevation is 6,500 feet. Make sure to bring your hiking shoes and warm clothes. During the winter and rainy seasons, a 4-wheel drive is a must.
