Stay in a unique adobe castle just steps from Route 66. This private hacienda-style home features a gated courtyard, stone tower, and Southwest charm throughout.
Includes 2 bedrooms, 1 large bath, dining for 10, a breakfast room with fireplace, full kitchen, and comfortable living areas.
Enjoy a quiet, walkable location near attractions, dining, and museums.
Ask about booking for photo shoots and small gatherings.
The space
The Castle features a blend of wood and tile flooring throughout the space.
The front entrance includes a ramp for accessibility. Please note that the back patio has two steps, the breakfast room is accessed by three steps, and the shower is a step-in design with a 4-inch threshold.
The home includes a vintage farmhouse sink with a hand-painted Talavera tile backsplash, along with retro-style appliances that complement the character of the space.
Throughout the property, guests will find antique and unique items of Native American origin, as well as original artwork, including pieces created by the owner.
The overall design blends modern elements with historic character, with a focus on honoring the culture and richness of the surrounding area.
Outdoor spaces are currently being developed to include landscape art installations designed to promote relaxation and inspiration.
Guest access
Guests have access to the main Castle, as well as the front courtyard and back patio areas to relax and enjoy.
The Casita located in the back courtyard is currently a work in progress and is not part of the guest space at this time.
There is also a tucked-away garden space on the property for guests to discover and enjoy during their stay — a quiet spot designed for reflection and inspiration.
Other things to note
The Castle has often been described as an oasis, located just yards from historic Route 66 — offering a nostalgic connection to the American past.
We are located in the heart of Tucumcari, a small town with a unique charm. Please note that late-night services may be limited, so plan accordingly or feel free to reach out in advance if you need recommendations.
Tucumcari is known for its vibrant mural scene, with over 150 murals throughout the city, as well as its iconic neon signs along Route 66. Guests can also enjoy the historic Odeon Theatre, an original Art Deco building, along with local museums — two within walking distance, including the Railroad Museum (approximately ¾ mile away), and the Route 66 Museum just a short drive to the west.
The area hosts events throughout the year, making each visit a little different depending on the season.
Guests who wish to extend their stay and explore more can take advantage of a 25% discount on a second night.

What makes my home unique: It’s a castle! And the Location!
Artist, hands-on renovator, and lover of all things creative. I enjoy swimming, the beach, the arts, entertaining, and quiet nights playing Scrabble.
I’ve been involved in rentals since I was 16 and love creating spaces where guests can relax and make great memories. My focus is simple: a super clean, fully functional space with a thoughtful, inviting aesthetic.
It doesn’t have to be fancy to be classy.
