New Year in New Mexico

Interspersed with the glitz and glamour of New Year festivities, spend your days soaking in the rejuvenating power of nature’s peaceful winter splendor.

New Year in New Mexico

By day, explore Vermejo’s crisp winter wilderness. By night, revel in roaring fires and champagne toasts.

This year, how about some intrigue, mystery, and yes—murder—for New Year’s? There’s nothing quite like celebrating the New Year in a 25,000-square-foot turn-of-the-century mansion, with live piano music, classic card games, and snooker or billiards, accompanied by champagne and an array of festive fare. On Sunday night, we’ll take a darker turn on this Gatsbyesque atmosphere and introduce a murder mystery, waiting to be solved by you and your friends and family.

Interspersed with the glitz and glamour of Casa Grande parties, spend your days soaking in the rejuvenating power of nature’s peaceful winter splendor. Holiday festivities are intertwined with time spent outdoors to create a perfect mix of fireside fun, seasonal flavors, and wilderness exploration. Stroll around Adam’s Lake and see skies filled with golden and bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and other birds of prey. Or step back in time with tours of historic sites like the Koehler mining camp or Catskill’s charcoal kilns. Crisp, sunny days are perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and sport shooting. If a frosty breeze brings snow and ice, then it’s time to bundle up for snowshoeing, ice fishing, and tubing down the hillsides. The best part? There’s never a crowd, a line, or often another person in sight.

Back at headquarters, seasonal festivities beckon—from winter wine pairings and cozy board games to steaming cider or cocoa by a crackling fire. This New Year’s celebration will ring with comfort and joy.
