RENAISSANCE IDEALS. PIONEER SPIRIT. A LITTLE MISCHIEF.
Welcome to Heritage House, the oldest standing home in Los Alamos (1882), restored as living art. Think wildly original interiors, a swinging Bali bed, secret-feeling nooks, lush private courtyards and a little magic around every corner. Just steps from Bell Street's tasting rooms, restaurants and shops. Historic? Absolutely. Stuffy? Never. Intimate weddings and private events available by separate arrangement.
THE HOUSE — LIVING ART, MEANT TO BE LIVED IN
Step inside 144 years of California history, lovingly restored with a philosophy as old as the house itself: buy next to nothing new.
Original stained glass, century-old redwood, hand-carved woodwork, heirloom finds and unexpected art coexist with modern comforts and a healthy sense of humor. Every piece has a story. Nothing is cookie-cutter. Nothing is too precious to enjoy.
This isn't a museum. It's a place to make memories.
A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS
• The Bali Bed — A one-of-a-kind swinging daybed tucked into a wood-paneled lounge. Read, nap, sip wine or do absolutely nothing.
• Kissing Cove — A cheeky little corner made for romance, photographs and stolen kisses.
• Named Rooms + Artistic Surprises** — Distinctive spaces, original artwork, vintage treasures and playful details throughout.
• The Speakeasy — A dedicated bar area for cocktails, conversation and a little after-dark mischief.
• Smokey Joe — Our life-size stagecoach art installation out front. Yes, really.
• Thoughtful Comforts — Beautifully considered interiors, modern amenities and even a Toto bidet. Because we believe luxury and personality should coexist.
YOUR PRIVATE GARDEN WORLD
Step outside and discover an entirely different side of Heritage House.
• Lush Courtyards — Mature trees, climbing roses, garden seating and beautiful little places to disappear.
• Covered Patios — Shaded outdoor living spaces for morning coffee, afternoon reading or evening wine.
• Fire Pit + BBQs (Gas and Charcoal) - Settle in for outdoor dining, fireside conversation and long evenings under the stars.
• Outdoor Dining + Gathering Spaces — outdoor furnishings, café lights and inviting places to share a meal.
• Wine Barrel Fountains — A little movement, a little music, and the soothing sound of water in the gardens.
The courtyards feel worlds away, yet you're only half a block from the heart of Los Alamos.
THE HERITAGE HOUSE WAY
We believe the most beautiful things are often the ones that already exist.
Heritage House was restored with an eco ethos and an obsession for giving extraordinary materials another life. Vintage and antique furnishings, salvaged architectural details and thoughtfully chosen reusable pieces are part of the experience.
We don't believe in buying "fast furniture" to make something beautiful.
Set a gorgeous table. Pour the wine. Use the good dishes. Celebrate beautifully.

Add your good energy to this historic house. Drop a wish or intention into the Kissing Cove mail slot, where it disappears into the wall — a tribute to the treasures we discovered hidden within these walls during our 2024–25 restoration.
Perhaps 150 years from now, someone will uncover the hopes and dreams of those who passed through these doors, adding their own chapter to the story of Heritage House.
