Algodones sunset.
The sun is setting on many things, the end of an era, of Hacienda Vargas as it is known; 18 years of Innkeeping; over 550 brides and ceremonies; and, thousands of overnight guests, many who became great friends.

Our last wedding both of our 2018 season AND our very last wedding ever! What a beautiful evening!

Fall finally came, my favorite time of the year!

Last week I posted that Fall wasn't here yet. This week it's just starting to peek thru.

It is with bittersweet emotions that Spence, Asta and I tell you that we have sold the Hacienda and will be closing its doors as of October 31st, 2018. The Hacienda has been serving locals, tourists and couples for almost 25 years and we have been privileged to be part of that for 18 years.

As of October 31st, the Hacienda will no longer operate as a bed and breakfast or wedding venue, but will be a true hacienda, home to a beautiful multi-generational family who appreciate the history and magic of the Hacienda and Algodones.

Our home, at the south end of the property, is separate from the Hacienda so we will still be part of its future, but as neighbors. We have our last overnight guests with us right now, Denise and Walter Kurt, who have been visiting us for most of our 18 years and we are hosting three more weddings so will still be posting about our happenings.

Thank you to all of our friends, guests, visitors and partners for all the richness you have added to our lives over the years and for allowing us the privilege of sharing in your lives.

Cynthia, Spence and Asta

2018 Balloon Fiesta is over and we think Fall will come this week in full force! The leaves are just starting to turn a little, but after this temperature drop we should see some golden glory. In the meantime, we have some Fall color and long shadows. Our favorite time of the year at Hacienda Vargas

Perfect day trip from Hacienda Vargas to Santa Fe via Turquoise Trail and back home to Hacienda Vargas

Nothing gets you into the languid vibe of the state like the neglected highway from Albuquerque to Santa Fe

We've been honored by many couples in many ways, gifts, money, long-lasting relationships, but we're pleased to say that we've just had the pleasure of having a couple name their rescue puppy "Spence" after our very own "Spence! Thank you to Anne and Graham, married at Hacienda Vargas September 21, 2017! I see a definite resemblance!

New Mexican food is really its own thing. We can recommend some great local eateries during your visit!

And here's why.
