Vermejo: Serenity and Togetherness During this Holiday Season

When searching for a festive holiday getaway experience tailor-made for you and your loved ones, Vermejo, a Ted Turner Reserve, is at the top of our list.

Suppose your idea of the perfect holiday is more chestnuts roasting, cozy campfires, and silent starry nights than city sidewalks, shopping malls, and silver bells. In that case, Vermejo is ready to craft a festive gathering to soak in the peace and rejuvenation that comes from connecting with nature.

At Vermejo, in northern New Mexico, a 558,000-acre winter wonderland can be your canvas to paint the holiday celebration of your dreams. Choose from a romantic getaway for two in a cozy suite in Turner House, a family or small group holiday in a historic private cottage, a larger group retreat in the exquisite Casa Grande mansion, or the high-country hideaway, Costilla Lodge.

Imagine days spent breathing in the chilly woodland air while a bright winter sun bathes you in warmth. Each dawn arises with new possibilities. Perhaps it’s snowshoeing, riding horseback through the forest, ice fishing on a frosted lake, or hiking through the hillside archery course and practicing your shot. There are options for cooking classes, arts and crafts, snow tubing, and endless exploration interspersed with cozy moments sipping hot cocoa or mulled wine by the fire. A trip to Vermejo is not complete without taking time for a game drive. Experience a North American safari, riding in a UTV, where you’re likely to see bison, elk, deer, myriad birds, small mammals, and a bobcat or mountain lion on a lucky day.

Friends experiencing the magic of Vermejo

Of course, the holiday season brings an extra dose of cheer to Vermejo. The halls are decked, and there are daily opportunities for merrymaking. You might join the annual turkey trot, decorate sugar cookies or gingerbread houses, sing carols at a tree-lighting event, or learn how they make their famous “Santa’s Nightcap.” You may be there with champagne in hand, counting down the new year at a Gatsby-style soiree in Casa Grande. In addition, each party is invited to go on a guided tree-hunting expedition to find and cut a fir or spruce to bring back and decorate their accommodations. How special!

The Vermejo Reserve Ambassadors are experts at listening while you describe your vision for a perfect holiday. Then scurrying around like helpful elves to make your winter wishes come true. They will help you and those who matter most escape the hustle and bustle of the world and find time to roam the wild places in your hearts.
