Chili Line Depot

Restaurant - Lodging - Coffee Bar The best food and lodging for miles around! Of course, we provide meals, and Direct TV in the rooms.

The Chili Line Depot, is Farm to table restaurant, and Bed & Breakfast just outside Taos, in Tres Piedras, New Mexico. Tres Piedras is surrounded by Carson National Forest with GREAT biking, hiking and horseback riding trails, fishing, camping, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and elk hunting. March 2013, President Obama signed a proclamation designating The Rio Grande Del Norte National Monume

nt adjacent to our little village of Tres Piedras. This large historic (Chili Line Depot)building was the bar and dancehall for the old Chili Line Railroad with 3500 sq ft of hardwood flooring (and incidentally a roller skating rink and movie theater in it's former life), so we decided that it was time to establish an eatery and lodging in this unique place. In addition to the restaurant, we have a large (upstairs) bunkroom for groups, a large upstairs suite, and a couple of downstairs rooms for guests.
