The Laughing Horse Inn was around for ages and was the hang out spot for all the cool NM passers through. Georgia O'Keefe, Frida (would have and should have) D.H. Lawrence, and such. Behind a coyote fence, a big sprawling hacienda built in many phases. Cozy loft rooms with beds built right up to the vigas, skylights scant inches above you into the night sky, kiva fireplaces, saltillo tiles, adobe benches filled with mother-in-laws tongue lined a greenhouse walkway around the house wall.  An unforgettable vibe.
