Amazing historic 1800s Carriage House! | Cottage in Raton
2 Bedroom Cottage in Raton
summary:
historic carriage house
this charming historic home, originally built as the carriage house for the main residence, dates back to just before the turn of the century As one of the early structures in Raton, it holds a special place in the town’s history.
at that time, the town was known as "willow springs," a name that evokes its rich past and connection to the early days of raton Today, the home stands as a beautifully preserved piece of history, offering a cozy and unique stay that blends timeless character with modern comfort.
due to the age of the structure, the floors creak with an antique charm and are not perfectly level Rather than being a drawback, this adds to the home's personality, telling a story of its survival through the years. it’s truly amazing that this historic gem has not only endured but is now ready for you to enjoy!
the space:
the carriage house is a quaint little brick cottage built in the late 1800’s It has been thoroughly renovated with updated appliances, furniture and finishes. Thoughtfully updated to maintain its historic charm and add modern amenities. we've added fiber-optic wifi, mini split heat, and air, recessed led lighting, a 5-burner gas range with oven, flat screen smart tv, and lots of original art!
it is still an old home! it squeaks, makes noises, doesn’t have perfectly plumb and level walls or floors It’s small, it is also pretty amazing that it is still liveable 140 years after it was built.
guest access:
you will have private access to the entire 2 level home There is a large grass yard that you are welcome to use and hang out in as well as a private patio with table and chairs for 4. we recently added a blackstone flat top barbq grill that is also available for guest use!
