About the House

Valley Vista has a long and rich history. The building was not always the bed and breakfast inn that it is today. Today the house sits on property that was once part of the Sheriff Pat Garrett Ranch, but this is not it's first home. The building was originally an army barracks at the Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo New, Mexico. It was moved to it's current address during the 1960s and has been home to several different enterprises, Including a restaurant and the Organ Mountain Lapidary Shop, before it became Valley Vista. In 1994 Barbara and Art Gutzman bought the Organ Mountain Lapidary Shop from its retiring owner and the process of transforming the building into the Valley Vista Bed and Breakfast Inn began. The first step was to move the entire building back 45 feet from its location along side Highway 70 East. The building was placed over an exposed basement which became the garden level of Valley Vista Bed and Breakfast Inn, and work began on the first of the two suites. The entire building was gutted and With the first suite open, work continued on the second suite and the host residence. Valley Vista Bed and Breakfast Inn was soon open for business. It has been thriving and growing since that time, and the gardens and grounds have become more beautiful with each passing year. The Inn now has two fully equipped suites that provide all the comforts of home, including fully equipped kitchens with microwave ovens, free wifi, flatscreen TVs, and fully tiled showers, all with a Southwest flair.
