Zemmie, a longtime antique shop owner, and Tom, a retired Los Alamos physicist, and one of their daughters, Claudia, who actually runs the inn, -- all three of them manage to make guests feel like old friends. From sparkling conversation and tales of the area to bridge or ping-pong games with Tom, guests will find a warm welcome at the Inn at Ojo.
Every room has an outside door, a view of the Inn's courtyard and its own bathroom with a shower. The building is well insulated to ensure cool interior temperatures in the summer and cozy warm in the winter. Zemmie has carefully furnished each room with items acquired over a lifetime. Many nineteenth-century wardrobes act as focal points for the rooms and are a handy place to unpack for your stay. All rooms are nonsmoking, but Tom smokes a pipe and guests are welcome to join him on the portal (porch) for an evening smoke.
Breakfast is prepared each morning by Claudia, Zemmie or a friend, and includes strong fresh-ground coffee and orange juice, the Inn's own granola, homemade muffins or bread, hotcakes with real maple syrup or fresh local eggs with butter fried potatoes. Sometimes on weekends they include ham or bacon.
