Ghost Ranch Workshop Accommodations |
Where to Stay : What to ExpectWhen attending a workshop at Ghost Ranch in Northern New Mexico, most participants like to stay on the ranch. This gives 24-hour immersion in sun-filled days and starry nights. You can work in the studio whenever you want, take meals in the dining hall, just a short walk away, and not use your car. This page describes the various types of accommodations available at the Ghost Ranch Retreat and Conference Center. Some accommodation choices are limited at the Ranch, so if the type you want is not available for your workshop, or if you feel these types do not fill your needs, we show here several other accommodation alternatives in nearby communities a short drive to the Ranch. If you decide to use one of these alternatives, sign up for the "commuter" option in the registration and directly contact your choice of place to stay. |
