We were in Raton for training at the Whittington NRA Center. We try to stay at B&Bs wherever we travel because we are both breakfast eaters and we have so enjoyed almost all the places we have stayed before. Although we usually avoid "Victorian" B&Bs because they often are so overdecorated that there is no room for our luggage, clothes,... More

We had a delightful overnight stay at Heart's Desire. Barbara welcomed us with brownies and tea...a perfect snack after arriving by train with a short walk to her inn. Loving history, we enjoyed our chat about the history of the bed and breakfast and the mining and railroad history of the town of Raton. The inn is a beautifully restored... More

I stayed here on a Sunday while on a road trip. I chose the inn because I did not want to stay in a hotel, and I love bed and breakfast establishments. Barbara was very welcoming when I arrived in the early afternoon, and after settling in (incidentally, she graciously let me store some food in her fridge) we had... More

If you imagine a B&B to have Victorian furniture and floral decorations, you've just imagined the Hearts Desire. The inn was cozy and clean. We enjoyed soaking in the claw-foot tub upstairs, but found the bed in the Victorian Suite to be a little uncomfortable. (I'm 5'10" and my feet were hanging off.) Barbara was quite welcoming and served a... More

We have stayed at Heart's Desire twice, and have had a wonderful experience each time. The house is lovely and comfy, and Barbara Riley is a delightful person and cooks a wonderful breakfast to boot! On our last trip, we had trouble with our rental car on a weekend when no service was available. At our wit's end, we called... More

We took our High School shooting team to NRA Whittington Center to compete. This was a very expensive trip (fuel, lodging, entry fee's etc.). The team and parents worked real hard raising the money for the trip (every expense was accounted for). Because of the length of time the team was going to be in Raton we attempted to locate... More

This review was unfortunate as the writer never stayed at our B $ B. We did however take in more than a dozen teenage boys and their sponsors at a reduced rate as they had asked for help in making their trip possible. They were all very nice, enjoyed a hearty breakfast each morning at 5:00 a.m. and never expressed... More

Well, I know that there isn't much information about this place on the web, but we decided to take a chance and try it anyway. We were so thrilled to find out that Hearts Desire was a wonderful and charming B&B. I highly recommend that you consider staying there instead of going to a hotel. The price was less than... More
