"A Touch of Santa Fe Just Outside El Paso"

Longing for a different take on El Paso?  Try Casa de Suenos Country Inn.  We are located in the country on the edge of the desert at the end of a one and a half mile dirt road, but the serenity and peacefulness are worth the drive.  It is El Paso that you will never experience staying in town.

Welcome to Casa de Sueños (House of Dreams).  One of 3 hotels, out of 48 in the greater El Paso, TX area to earn a guest 5 STAR rating in 2009.  (For copies of our guest reviews visit Hotels.com or B&B.com).  Located just 12 minutes from the West side of El Paso, Casa de Suenos Country Inn is a little touch of Santa Fe, where four guest rooms await you. This hacienda-style Bed and Breakfast is decorated in southwestern themes, and has 3000 sq ft of patio for outside living.

Casa de Sueños sits on a high mesa overlooking the Rio Grande River Valley. Three sets of mountain ranges - in New Mexico, Texas and Mexico are visible from the expansive guest patio. The nighttime views of twinkling city lights and the view of the Milky Way Galaxy are memorable.

Guests frequently say I wish I had booked another night here.  A full, freshly prepared breakfast is included in the room rates. 

Guests can relax on the glider or swing on the patio, with a latte in hand, and watch the sunrises or the moon rising over the Franklin Mountains. The stillness and quiet of the rural surroundings provide a wonderful rest after the end of a long cross-country trek or a hectic work day.

You can watch the quail and jackrabbits feeding and hopefully catch a glimpse of a roadrunner passing through.  The desert bustles with activity all day and all night.  An extensive array of birds can be seen and heard around the property.

There is a Meditation Circle, based upon the indigenous people's Medicine Wheel design, located off the back patio. It overlooks the open space of the arroyo and provides a space for reflection, and quiet time. The beginnings of a native plant garden are there as well as several benches dotted around the property.

The setting also provides a unique alternative for business meetings, retreats and classes, combining indoor and outdoor space to meet the needs of groups of various sizes.

High speed wireless internet access is available so you can be connected with the rest of the world while enjoying a peaceful retreat from the heart of the city.

Abi and Peanut, our people-loving dogs have appointed themselves concierge roles. They take very seriously their job of welcoming guests, giving tours and making sure that everyone is enjoying breakfast.
