| On behalf of the entire staff, we would like to welcome you to the Laguna Vista Lodge, Historic Restaurant & Saloon web site. | |||
The Historic Restaurant is a culinary delight set in an 1890's hotel lobby. Frommer's Travel Guide rates us the best Restaurant and Hotel in the Valley and we were featured in the January 2002 issue of Sunset Magazine. ![]() The Saloon circa 1898 ![]() Post Card from the 1930's

![]() Post Card from the 1930's "Beauties from Eagle Nest Lake, NM" Eagle Nest Lake, right outside our back door, is world renown for trout fishing. Just over the pass, is the Cimarron River where the fly fishing is legendary.
We have been told that the hotel has a lady ghost who lives upstairs and
visits the dining room on occasion, using the hidden staircase.
Our dining room was once the lobby of the El Monte Hotel, built circa 1890s.
The Saloon dates back to 1898.
Back then gold nuggets from the mining camps in Baldy
Town & Elizabethtown passed over the gambling tables.
That's over 110 years of history. Imagine New Mexico Governors and other well-to-do elite mixing with gold miners and mountain men in outlaw casinos and a hotel of ill repute. ![]() Extensive upgrades make our rooms as comfortable as home. |
