Welcome to Our Home...The Silver River Adobe Inn is a place of rustic elegance that overlooks the confluence of the San Juan and La Plata rivers. Each room has its own private entrance and private bath, and all three rooms open out to patios embraced by large cottonwood trees along the banks of the riverine nature reserve.

From the River

The Silver River Adobe Inn is a contemporary example of the traditional architecture of Northern New Mexico, offering elements of luxury with the organic texture of exposed adobes and rough sawn timbers. The Bed and Breakfast graciously rests on a sandstone cliff, embraced by two rivers, the San Juan and the La Plata. In a landscape of natural vegetation grandmother cottonwood trees host many of the birds found in this nature reserve. The Las Animas, San Juan and La Plata Rivers converge in Farmington, comprising 50% of New Mexico's flowing surface waters. From the windows and patios one also experiences the long view of the sunset down the valley.
An eclectic library creates a natural backdrop for the "Salon" style breakfast conversations. Your hosts, David and Diana, are pleased to offer advice on travel routes, local events, little known places to visit, and dining in the Four Corners.

Our Stories
Diana came to the B&B business through a path that integrates her interests in the history of the Southwest as a former Farmington Museum director/curator with her interests in travel, which includes her childhood journey to Australia aboard ship and delightful years spent at a private girls school in Melbourne, and living with her own children for a time in Europe.
David also shares a history with the Pacific Rim as he was born in Hawaii, and his career includes extensive travel throughout the United States as part of Stanford Research Institute's national studies of innovative education programs. We cherish our children and grandson, we lust after more time to read in and beyond our library of over 5,000 volumes, and we delight in learning about other parts of the world from our guests and our personal travels.
Our principal topics of conversation, left to our own devices, are family, the dynamics of personality, regional history, poetry, anthropology, philosophy, the soul's path and healing, living gently on the earth, and early childhood education. David is an avid walker whereas Diana prefers to go faster and cycles. She likes to cross country ski, David likes to snow shoe. Both hike but Diana rushes to some preset goal while David stops to admire the landscape. Diana has found she loves carpentry tools and wood working, though her skills are at the primitive level just now, while David works with plants and permaculture. As an interfaith minister, Diana enjoys officiating at wedding ceremonies and other rites of passage.
Explore the mystery of the Southwest and the stories of Indian Country. Diana and David will be happy to arrange guides for tours, fishing or golf tee times.
Both are members the Professional Association of International Innkeepers.
