Adams, Igor Stravinsky, Martha Graham, Willa Cather, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Stephen Spender, Christopher Isherwood, Georgia O'Keeffe, Mary Austin, Thornton Wilder, Robert Oppenheimer, Robert Frost, W. H. Auden, Lynn Riggs, Rita Hayworth, Errol Flynn and countless others. Bynner's home, in its magnificent garden setting, was the center of intellectual and creative activity in Santa Fe. Robert Frost and Ralph Bolton, the owners and innkeepers, have faithfully restored the property. Their goals - as innkeepers and as custodians of the home and land that Bynner loved - are to rekindle the

spirit of excitement, hospitality and creativity for which this home was renowned in the past, to protect and extend the legacy of its famous creator, and to provide their guests with the experience of a unique setting that captures the essence of traditional Santa Fe. They are painstakingly restoring the adobe villa and the gardens to their former glory. They look forward to the privilege of serving as your hosts during your visit to Northern New Mexico.
