About this property

Historic Queen Anne Art House - Walk to Downtown

Stay in a restored Queen Anne Victorian filled with original art, just steps from downtown Raton. A comfortable, quiet overnight stop for couples, families, and travelers breaking up long drives between Texas and Colorado.

Ideal overnight stop for Texas–Colorado ski trips.


The Gallery House is a historic home that also functions as a living art gallery, featuring a curated collection of vibrant, modern artwork throughout. Guests are welcome to enjoy the art during their stay, and select pieces are available for purchase.

You’ll have access to the entire home, with spacious rooms, tall ceilings, and large windows that bring in beautiful natural light. The kitchen is fully equipped with full-sized, high-end appliances and ample prep space, and the dining room features a custom table that comfortably seats six.

As with many historic homes, the layout is unique and a bit quirky — part of its charm after more than 130 years of use, including a former life as a restaurant.

SITTING ROOM

A sunny sitting room faces east toward the surrounding mesas and offers cozy seating, morning light, and a peaceful place to unwind. This space includes a mini fridge, espresso machine, and teas, and is perfect for reading, yoga, or relaxing after a long day of travel.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS

Bedroom 1

A newly renovated bedroom with comfortable bedding, a streaming-enabled TV, and a high-quality sound system. Enjoy music or movies with the house entirely to yourself.

Bedroom 2

A comfortable queen-size memory foam mattress, 50” streaming TV, and beautiful east-facing views of Bartlett and Johnson Mesa.

Bathrooms

One full bathroom upstairs with towels, toiletries, hair dryer, and a thermostatic wall heater

Two convenient half baths downstairs

LAUNDRY

A full-sized washer and dryer upstairs are available for guest use.

Free, off-street parking is available


The Neighborhood:

Raton is a peaceful, unassuming town where time seems to have paused, leaving behind the noise and rush of modern life. Here, you can step back into a simpler era, where the charm of a quaint, close-knit community shines through.


Getting Around:

There are parks, restaurants, breweries, train station, historic downtown and hiking trails all within walking distance. We have plenty of off street parking (even for oversized vehicles or trailers) The neighborhood is an eclectic mix of industry, restaurants, vintage buildings and service stations, all just a few minutes drive from beautiful countryside and nature just outside of town.


Interaction with Guests:

We have 3 separate listings on the property which are all available to guests. They are separate, private and each unique and cozy! We are very engaged, easy to reach and always striving to make this a great place to stay, a home away from home. Text messaging will get a response quickly. We’re here to help!

If you have a larger group please reach out about booking 1, 2 or all 3 properties. It is a great space for that!

Excellent property in every way!

This gorgeous old home was the perfect base for us to hike and explore the area. Super clean with great attention to detail. Beds were very comfortable and the washer/dryer was a plus. The location was walking distance to town; the property and yard were immaculate. Nathan was an awesome host!

Great Place to Stay in Raton, NM

The Second Story is a beautiful old home right on the main drag on the south end of Raton. Traffic was a little noisy at times but not much of a distraction. We had the entire second floor that has a sitting room with a great easterly view of the mountains and mesas that that made for wonderful sun and moon rises. Great little restaurants all over town, which you'll need because there is only a small refrigerator and coffee maker. We had a very nice stay and will be back at the Second Story when visiting Raton, NM!

A walk down history

The property is pretty cool and because of it’s built it’s like walking down history. The house is what you see. The steps kinda creek as you go up to the second story but it’s just its authentic feel and vibe. Not gonna lie at first my wife was a bit scared she felt it was kinda creepy but it’s just cause the town is not what we are used to and it’s a bit less habited. The only thing I wish it did have was access to the kitchen. For example if you were doing a long stay y oui may want to cook something. We were just there as passing the night before getting to Colorado for that it was perfect cause we just had coffee and sandwiches in the morning before leaving. Overall I did enjoy it and the first floor is filled with great art.

Once I grew accustomed to the size, it was great. It took a conversation with Nathaniel to understand the lower level art showroom. Eager to see entire property.

About the host

Hosted by Nathan Green

Host profile image
We adore our fun-loving family of 6!
My lovely wife and I are raising our 3 younger boys out on the prairies of the Wild West, east of Raton 35 miles. I am a designer, a builder, and a self-taught multi-disciplinary artist. I prefer to work in lasting materials, steel and stone are some of my favorites. I enjoy painting, photography, and singing along with my guitar. We are an adventurous bunch, often out road-tripping around the country or galivanting around the ranch that we are so lucky to call home. We have an art gallery in the little town of Des Moines NM. A 1920's service station that we brought back to life from a near-death experience.😂. It is now modern, light, and filled with art! Check it out here: www.PrairiePunkGallery.com
We purchased these amazing historic properties out of foreclosure, vacant, and in disrepair. They had experienced a similar near-death experience which we were able to rescue them from. Through thousands of hours of work and care they have been updated, carefully to retain their original historic charm while offering modern amenities and comforts.
While a project of this scale can rarely be "finished" we hope you will come and enjoy the journey with us. We will continue to update and improve the properties and hope that you find them "a home away from home"

Why they chose this property

Raton is a sleepy little town that feels to be stuck in the past. A welcome reprieve for many visiting from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. It is an eclectic mix of industry, history, and remnants of the Wild West. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by the high mesas and mountains. Outdoor adventure is easy to find as well as solitude. We are experiencing a slow trickle of artistic types moving into town and bringing creativity along with them.

What makes this property unique

We purchased these 3 historic homes (all situated on the same property) vacant and in foreclosure and in desperate need of repair. We have carefully renovated each, hoping to maintain the historic charm while adding modern amenities and comforts. They can be rented together or separately and have beautiful common grounds which are shared by all three listings.
