Innkeeper(s) - Cimarron, NM

Position filled - Innkeeper position available Aug 1 thru Oct 31, 2020 for individual or couple at Historic Inn six miles south of Cimarron, New Mexico -  The Inn is a 1912 adobe villa on 225 acres in a stunning, remote setting at an elevation of 7,000 feet. The property is surrounded by Philmont Scout Ranch. The Casa has 6 guest rooms, as well as a two room Guest House, all with private baths. Listed on the New Mexico Registry of Cultural Properties and National Register of Historic Places as ". . . among the earliest and most accomplished examples of a residence designed in the Pueblo Revival style in New Mexico."

We are located on the edge of the Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico. The landscape is more like Colorado than what one typically thinks of as New Mexico. To the east lie the high plains of northeastern New Mexico. Mountains a few miles to the west rise to over 11,000 feet. Deer and turkey are common. Elk, fox, and bobcat are occasionally seen. Raton, New Mexico (pop 6,000) is an hour away. Taos is an hour and 15 minutes through the mountains. Santa Fe is two and a half hours south on I-25.

We are a destination inn with a repeating clientele most appreciative of the Casa and our staff. We have excellent reviews on Tripadvisor, Travelocity, and Expedia. The Casa was included on bedandbreakfast.com's "Top 25 Inns" in 2017.

Due to the size of the inn with 6 guest rooms, this is very much a hands-on position rather than managing staff. Duties include typical tasks such as reservations, guest services, shopping, cooking, housekeeping, laundry, etc. Local housekeeper takes care of most housekeeping duties, but some housekeeping by innkeeper is necessary.

Applicants must have direct working experience with running a B&B, rather than management of similar business. Applicants must fully understand, and be comfortable working within, the highly erratic hours of operating a bed and breakfast, and working directly with guests. This is not a 9-5 Monday through Friday position. Breakfast starts early in the morning, guests sometimes arrive late at night, time off comes when the schedule permits.

Applicants must be self-motivated, organized, very detail oriented, personable and professional. On-site suite and utilities provided in addition to salary. Experience, excellent references, and background check required.
