Detailed Reviews
Be ready to be amazed at this spectacular lodge. Nestled in the middle of a forest, the gorgeous cabins are very large, beautifully decorated in SW style, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is large, fully equipped. Bring food from Grants on your way over since there is only one restaurant nearby, the Ancient Way Cafe. I suggest 2 day stay so to see El Morro and El Malpais. The grounds are gorgeous, you can sit outside the private room terrace in contact with nature. This place is a GEM !!!

We stayed for a night in October on a three day trip across the country. It has a wonderful country ambiance, set in an old cabin. We were surrounded by art. The small kitchen met our needs. Sherri, the owner, was very responsive to our questions and requests. There is a delightful "gallery" of native American art and I "adopted" a wonderful Navaho textile. Jewelry and pottery were also plentiful. We hiked nearby at the Banderas Volcano and Ice Caves in the El Malpais National Monument and El Morro National Monument. Even during COVID, a calming moment is still possible.

We had the smallest suite - and it looked HUGE to us in comparison with typical B&B accommodations. Very well-appointed, great kitchen, quite and comfortable. Delightful hostess. Do bring food as you are pretty far from the nearest city - Grants.

Hostess was unprofessional and unwelcoming. We were given verbal confirmation that we could use money that we had previously paid for a reservation that we had to cancel for a new date. But then subsequently she emailed us saying this was not possible due to the amount of time elapsed. This is pretty poor behavior for the hospitality industry.
Honestly, the average airbnb experience is much more welcoming.

We stayed in the Cimarron Suite for two nights. Currently that is the only suite being rented. The owner Sherri lives in the rest of the building. She is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Her breakfasts every morning are delicious.
The Suite is very rustic and comfortable. Just what we were looking for in a mountain cabin.
Definitely stay there instead of the chain hotels along the highway.

Cimarron Rose is not at Grants, but 30 miles away on the Continental Divide, on scenic highway 53 between El MaisPais and El Murro National Monuments. We booked into this "Zuni Mountain B & B" for 3 nights in May 2012 and stayed for 5, in the Zuni Mountain Suite, with two bedrooms, lounge, kitchen-diner, and lovely big bathroom, plus patios opening off almost every room - you could catch the sun, or the shade, at any time of day, with spectacular sunsets. Cimarron took comfort, equipment, and attention to detail to the highest level.
This is a place to stop, relax, and chill out. The kitchen was fully stocked so, with some shopping in Gallup we could have meals in the evenings, while Sheri brought more than a lovely breakfast each morning, but a warm welcome and perfect laid-back hospitality. Her fresh asparagus and cheese omelettes one morning were simply superb, accompanied by lovely bread, natural yoghurt and fresh fruit, a great start to the day.
Cimarron is a "green" eco-friendly place to stay with Cimarron, the horse, plus the goats and the lovely gardens, emphasising you are out-of-town and away from the City, in peace and quiet, the wind whispering through the trees, the day beds the perfect place to stop and read. Sheri runs a gallery on the property with wonderful examples of Indian art for sale.
Sometimes a real holiday means you need to escape from hotels too, and for us Cimarron delivered a great special experience, enhanced by the welcome from Sheri.

My husband and two children and I ventured out for an overnight in the Grant's area hoping for a restful break from Albuquerque. We hiked at El Morro National Monument and then retreated for an evening at Cimarron Rose. We loved the cozy, woodsy room with wonderful southwest decor, a stock of cut logs and kindling for the wood burning stove, and the great music collection that Sherri provided. Throughout the evening, we watched the falling snow on the pines and in the morning the kids bundled up for a snow ball fight and the opportunity to build a family of snow people. Sherri delivered to us a bountiful breakfast of fruit, eggs and blue corn pancakes which left us fully nourished for our trip home.

I guess my rather down review of this B&B won't sidetrack the kind of people who like this sort of place, which is ok. It's a free country. I ended up here at someone else's request, so, I have to say, I'm not a big B&B person. I worked at one years ago, back when everyone thought a rural B&B was like Newhart's place in Vermont. That was fun because, back then, the B&B trade was fairly new, and you met you folks in the business.
Now, well, B&B means 'Bored and Bored'. And this place, the Cimarron Rose, is no exception. It's a nice place, but it's just so, what's the word, fake? As if it's the kind of place you'd get if there was a B&B Kit you could buy from some boutique in Aspen or Stowe. This includes, I think, owners who have passed the 'I own a rural B&B course' at Northern Arizona University.
That said, I think most folks who are attracted to this kind of place will ignore my comments here and stay anyway. But, my one stay was enough for me. Next time I'll take my chances in Grants at one of the hotels on the Route 66 corridor, where folks tend to be regular people who might just find themselves out of place at the Cimarron Rose.

This B & B is a true delight as is the owner, Sheri. We have stayed there several times, the last time 3/06 and recommend it to everyone. There are only 3 suites, the largest being the Bandera Suite. Last visit we took our German foreign exchange student and her brother with us and the suite was more than adequate for 4. This place is not for travelers that want to watch TV and order room service as there is none. Well, there is a TV but it is used only as a screen for a collection of movies. There is also a cd player and a collection of relaxing cds. There is a feeling one has while there that cannot be explained except to say it is a sacred, special place surrounded by nature. Our first visit there years ago I sat and read all the visitors' comments in the Guest Books and read only one negative comment over a 3 year period. Off the Bandera Suite is a private patio with a grill and those little white Italian lights. In the kitchen is a long bar that can easily seat several people. It also serves as a great base for day trips to Inscription Rock, Lava fields and lava cave,ice cave, the Zuni Reservation, El Morro National Monument, and El Mapais National Conservation Area. Sheri makes a wonderful breakfast and we usually bring supplies to utilize the grill, etc.as there are no nearby restaurants and is approximately 30 miles from Grants proper. There are some resident animals, especially Cimarron, a horse that Sheri rescued as a colt in the wild when she was with the Forest Service. This is a real get away from it all place and a treat.

I'm not the owner, but this is a great place to stay. We've been there 3 times. Call the number on their website. They are great about getting back.
No Happy Hour, who needs one in such a beautiful place? There are great delicacies instead. The breakfasts are scrumptious and you don;t have to make decisions.,
HiSheri, Thanks for getting back to us we are looking forward to our visit in September.
Sandra and John
