  • Inn Details

    Since 1989, Farmington's 1st B&B is a contemporary example of the traditional architecture of Northern New Mexico which graciously rests on a sandstone cliff 30 feet above the San Juan and La Plata rivers. This nature reserve boasts native grandmother cottonwood trees for many migrating birds.

    Innkeeper Information

    Innkeepers Description:

    You are not likely to find a better guide for your travels within the four corners than David. He knows the routes like the back of his hand and ever so many interesting little hideaways. During breakfast ask David your questions about the plans you have for the day’s adventure. David is an avid walker, Diana prefers cycling and swimming. In the winter of 2009 Diana rode the Southern Tier across the US while David drove the SAG vehicle. Both share a passion for books.

    Challenging to locate at first, don't arrive after dark. Like staying in someone's home, you get to know the hosts and their animals. Peaceful river setting, comfortable bed, great towels.

    Staying in Farmington? Try to book here first.

    Very welcoming and secluded house, and very close to town and dining area. The room was fresh and very cosy, with so many nice details to observe.The wild river gave a feeling of adventure without any risk, the cat was so funny and friendly, and the landlord spent a long time with us at breakfast, excellent. We didn't meet Diana, she was out of town this day.We would go back with great pleisure,if we visit again the splendid Four Corners area.

    The Silver River Adobe Inn made a lasting impression on me for a number of reasons: -"location, location, location" - if you were any nearer to the San Juan River, you'd be in it. It is a beautiful body of water on which (I've been informed) this area is heavily dependent. - the gracious congeniality of the proprietors, Diana and David. In the days after we left, I had fond memories of David and Diana offering suggestions and information about everything from local restaurants to sacred sites. For me, it's always a good sign to enter someone else's house and immediately discover many of the same books that rest on my own bookshelves at home. Such was the case this lovely home where it seemed quite natural to request that Diana recite one of my favorite Pablo Neruda poems before my friend and I set out on a special journey ... she graciously obliged. - it is conveniently located to many fascinating destinations and makes a good "base camp" from which to explore areas such as Mesa Verde, the Bisti-De Na zin Wildnerness, Durango, CO, Shiprock, the historic town of Aztec and the Aztec Ruins, and so on. If you're feeling nostalgic for slower, simpler times don't miss the "Andrea Kristina Bookstore/Cafe in downtown Farmington, or the "Hiway Grill" in Aztec. This is America.
