Travel + Leisure magazine readers voted Vermejo the World’s Best Resort Hotel in the West in 2023. Like its pioneering owner, Vermejo has led the way in regenerative tourism. “Nothing is small in Ted’s world,” says Jade McBride, president of Ted Turner Reserves, who oversees a network of luxury New Mexico hospitality properties, which include 1.1 million acres across the Land of Enchantment. Vermejo G.M. Theresa King is undeniably partial. “One of the things that sets us apart is we’re always thinking about the environment every bit as much as we’re thinking about the guest experience,” King says. “While they’re with us, we want to educate our guests without making them feel like they’ve come to school. Everyone walks away feeling they know more about the land and the planet.”

Ted Turner Reserves began welcoming guests in 2024 to the historic BERNAL LAKE CABIN at Vermejo, the largest ranch in the US, with 558,000 acres in New Mexico and Colorado. Perched on a lake teeming with trout, the meticulously restored cabin boasts twin master suites, a cedar soaking tub, and a private chef.

Pro tip: Order the braised bison short ribs!

The decision to revitalize the remote venue, a 20-minute drive from most of the ranch’s other luxe accommodations, dovetails with the mission of Ted Turner Reserves.

“When we started to consider Bernal Lake Cabin years and years ago, it became important to me that the cabin itself — the location, the space, the accommodation — help connect people with nature,” says Ted Turner Reserves CEO Jade McBride. “It’s unbelievably humbling to encounter the landscape as it was more than 100 years ago.”
