About this property

Historic 1800s Carriage House - Walk To Downtown

Summary:

Stay in a restored historic Carriage House offering classic character with modern comfort, just minutes from downtown Raton.

A quiet, well-equipped cottage ideal for couples or travelers looking for a relaxed overnight stay or an easy stop along a longer journey.


The Space:

The Carriage House is a small brick cottage originally built in the late 1800s and thoughtfully renovated to blend historic character with modern comfort. Updates include fiber-optic Wi-Fi, mini-split heating and cooling, recessed LED lighting, a 5-burner gas range with oven, and a flat-screen smart TV. Original artwork is featured throughout the space.

As with many historic homes, the Carriage House has character that comes with age — including occasional creaks and uneven surfaces — which we see as part of its charm. The home is compact, comfortable, and carefully maintained to offer a unique and memorable stay.


The home features a king bedroom and full bathroom upstairs, along with a small sitting area that includes a twin-size sofa sleeper. A half bath is located on the main level.


Guest Access:

Guests have private access to the entire two-level home. You’re also welcome to enjoy the large grassy yard, as well as a private patio with a table and chairs for four. A Blackstone flat-top grill is available for guest use.


Getting Around:

It's a small town and easily walkable to the main historic 1st street. The Amtrak station is only a few blocks away and easily walkable as well.

Interaction with Guests:

Please reach out with any questions. Txt is the best.

We love staying in the Amazing Historic 1800s Carriage House! It is the perfect home away from home and we always try to get it when we know our July travel dates. Nathan, the host, and Karen, the housekeeper and very accommodating and made sure every need was met. Bonus: The bed is so comfortable.

Sugarite Canyon & Capulin Volcano Base Camp

This property is a great location if you’re going to go hiking in Sugaright Canyon or Capulin volcano. The Oasis and Pappas’ Sweet Shop had some of the best green and red chili I’ve ever had! The dinosaur tracks at Clayton Lake were also impressive!

We enjoyed our stay at the Carriage House

The Carriage House was perfect for our stay in Raton. It was clean and well supplied with everything we needed to cook our meals and relax after being out hiking and photographing. The neighborhood was quiet which was important since we were out making night sky images so needed to sleep in the morning. Communication with Nathan was always timely and pleasant. We look forward to staying here again next time we are in Raton.

Adorable Carriage House!

We LOVED the house, the host, everything was as expected, and we really appreciated how comfortable everything was. While it was cold, the house is old and it was expected. I will definitely stay again when I come back to Raton to visit my family. Five stars!

They did a lovely job restoring the property, very nice especially upstairs. Small suggestions: Shower and bathtub upstairs doesn't drain properly, eventually goes down. The toaster doesn't work, you have to hold down the handle, screen door could use repair. Otherwise a nice experience, loved sitting on the lawn.

A step back in modernized time

Nice, clean,1900's building with updates as required for comfort. Safe neighborhood, 3 to 5 deer in the yard several times a day. A great place to stay, barbecue pit and grill in the imaculate yard. Parking in lot at yard gate, easy access to unloadon arrival and load for departure. We had a small issue and the housekeeper was there in less than 10 min. Nathan, the owner,, solved the problem and scheduled a repair tp insure that no other renters will have the issue. Nathan is a very good busi nessman. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Nathan Green

Host profile image
We have been Air BnB hosts for years with 900+ reviews and are just now jumping into VRBO.
We live on a cattle ranch east of Raton with our 3 adventurous boys. We ride motorcycles, bikes, and horses. We chase sunset pictures and explore abandoned old places. We travel, climb mountains, and jump in the water every chance we get.
I am an artist working in multiple mediums. Some of my favorites are steel, stone, and light. I have an art gallery in the town of Des Moines, which is a 1920's service station that we saved from certain ruin. It is now modern, light, and filled with art!
We have been in the hospitality business since 2005 when we started offering all-inclusive, guided outdoor adventures on the ranch. We have met tons of interesting people, many of whom have become lifelong friends.

Why they chose this property

This is a historic neighborhood, it sits in a mixed-use area both commercial and residential. Although It is right on the main street through the town of Raton. The Carriage house sits at the back of the property which makes it feel pretty secluded. Raton was once a hub of excitement with horse racing, neon signs, and vintage motels. That heyday has passed but we are doing our best to usher in a new era of artists and revival!

What makes this property unique

This little house was likely living quarters for the hired help to those who owned and lived in the big red brick Queen Anne Victorian (our Second Story Listing) right next door. It is my favorite of the 3 homes on the property. It's small, historic, quirky, and beautifully updated.
