Perfect spot

This was an ideal stop for our whole family as we travelled through Raton headed to Yellowstone! House was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed! We sat on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful view and lovely weather. The beds were comfy and the house was very well maintained. We had plenty of towels and kitchen items. If you are traveling through Raton, you could not find a better place for your family!

Hunters Dream

We had two groups of hunters stay on two separate occasions. The owners were very helpful and responsive. The location was perfect for our hunting group. The house was very clean and we will stay again if we are ever in the area.

Perfect venue!

We needed a better alternative than staying in the "hotels" in Raton, and this fit the bill perfectly! Was a FAR superior alternative, and in the end, was a good bit cheaper and a far more comfortable lodging experience. We struggled to get the house down to a comfortable temperature overnight for the first couple days, but it was INSANELY hot during the day. You might consider putting an AC into the master BR since it's the furthest room away from the AC in the dining room, and the cool air has a really hard time getting down the hallway. We made due though, and was a great place to stay. We'll see you next year!

About the host

Hosted by Kara R. Rauert

My name is Kara Rauert. My sister, Melissa Girard-Lemons, purchased this vacation home and we want to share it with others. We both have experience with rental properties and this is a new venture for us in New Mexico. We, unfortunately, are not able to be here full time yet. Our loss is your gain.

Why they chose this property

We love Raton, New Mexico. It is peaceful, beautiful, and quiet. Did we mention the weather? Raton enjoys a beautiful climate. What to do in Raton, NM? It is close to local attractions, has many outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, shooting sports, hiking, kayaking, golf, and skiing. So many options to do, but our favorite part of spending time in Raton NM is enjoying our patio while cooking a meal together as a family and enjoying a cocktail or beer. The views from the house are pretty awesome!

What makes this property unique

Our house is located within the city limits of Raton NM, but it feels like you are out in the country. We are located up the Mesa. You feel like you have the place to yourself, but you also have all of the conveniences needed nearby.
