The Miriam

Miriam Hapgood built this room for her son, Edwin.  Amber:  I have such fond memories of this room as a child. When I was a little girl it was our library and I would sit in front of the fireplace and read in this room for hours.  

This is a warm and inviting room. It is a perfect room in which to curl up and relax! Firelight reflects off the high coved ceiling from the Miriam’s wood burning kiva fireplace. This room has a queen bed and shower bath. It has its own covered flagstone patio and private entrance and is located on the ground floor; it is in the old adobe section of the building and is cool in the summer and warm and cozy in the winter.

Standard Queen:  Regular rate is $1.250 monthly, cannot be sublet.  CAM fees, plus 4% processing if card is used are added.  All rooms  can be booked online from our website for less. Always Book Direct; OTAs are foreign companies, not regulated, charging 20%, destroying the hotel industry – it is a foreign invasion and no one is watching!

Touchstone is a house with many different rooms available for you to enjoy. Touchstone’s gallery is open by appointment. Enjoy writing a postcard or playing the baby grand. Borrow a book, or enjoy Touchstone’s art collection. Sit for a while in front of the fire and let us tell you about the history of the house and our close connection to Mable Dodge and Tony Luhan. 

Our Gallery has been called a living watercolor, where the bright light streaming through the skylights and conservatory windows animate the artist’s work.
