I had a great 2 nights at the Indiana Jones with my boyfriend. The B&B is tucked away in the tiny town of Antonito about 4 hours from Denver, and if you go through Walsenburg, the drive is absolutely breathtaking. It's also only 2 hours from Santa Fe, so day trips there are very do-able.
We were greeted by the innkeeper, Sabra. She was friendly and welcoming but didn't hover over us. I felt taken care of and had everything I needed but didn't feel like I was forced to socialize if I didn't want to. Bonus: lots of cuddles with her 2 adorable dogs.
The hotel is older and quaint (you can really feel the history of the place), but also very clean, comfortable, and cozy. There is cool Indiana Jones memorabilia everywhere, and if you ask the innkeeper, she can tell you all about what parts of the movie were filmed and exactly where. If you are a movie buff, it's kind of a thrill to think that Harrison Ford once stood in the same place you are standing.
About the rooms: The bed was just right, not like one of those hard hotel chain beds. The sheets were super-soft, and there were some good quality soaps and other toiletries in the bathroom. My room had a nice deep soaking tub, too! I was very comfortable.
The food: Oh. My. God. The innkeeper is an amazing cook, and in addition to delicious strong coffee and mouthwatering homemade scones for breakfast, we were also treated to a dinner of tender short ribs, garlic smashed red potatoes, and poppyseed-dressed coleslaw. So good!
Parking is easy and since the town is so small, it's walkable. There's a good Mexican restaurant nearby, a grocery store, and if you want to imbibe, a liquor store and dispensary. During certain times of the year, Antonito is a stop on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, which is a big attraction, and a few blocks away you can go take a peek at the eccentric Cano's Castle, a home constructed entirely of junk (it's cooler than it sounds).
When you visit, plan on a slow-paced, relaxed vibe, a great night's sleep, and some fantastic food. I'll definitely be back!
