Locally Rooted. Elevated Hospitality.

From the first sunrise over the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the aroma of fresh rain bathing desert sage, and from towering pines to deep picturesque canyons, it’s easy to sense why New Mexico is truly the Land of Enchantment. With an inviting blend of high-desert landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and soaring peaks, Northern New Mexico invites one to explore the relaxed, eclectic, and adventurous vibe of the region.

Set within this rich landscape, Casago Sierra Sol rises to provide genuine hospitality and premier guest experiences. Founded by Gemma & James Gilchrist, this locally-rooted, family-owned Casago franchise partner enthusiastically serves Santa Fe, Taos, Angel Fire, and the surrounding Enchanted Circle. As long-time homeowners in Northern New Mexico themselves, Gemma & James have experienced firsthand what makes the area so enchanting.

Long before launching Sierra Sol, Gemma & James discovered something special in Northern New Mexico for their British-Texan family of six. For years, this region has provided a place for their family to reconnect, slow down, and create lasting memories - from teaching their four children to ski in Angel Fire to summer hikes through alpine forests, and evenings spent enjoying the art, culture, food, and adobe architecture of Santa Fe and Taos.

Inspired by their love for the region, along with a shared passion for real estate, travel, and hospitality, Gemma & James created Sierra Sol to offer something rare in vacation rental management: elevated hospitality backed by lived experience.

Gemma & James have built Sierra Sol from that perspective, with a vision to create exceptional stays for guests and meaningful stewardship for homeowners across the places they love most.

Sierra Sol is guided by three principles that shape the Elevated Promises serving as the North Star for five-star guest experiences, proactive home care, and trusted homeowner partnerships:

Guest Experiences: Proactive, concierge-style hospitality that drives more five-star reviews & repeat stays

Home Stewardship: Thoughtful, consistent care that protects your home and keeps it guest-ready year-round

Owner Partnerships: Investor-minded guidance, clear insights, and a plan aligned to your goals

As both vacation homeowners and travelers, Gemma & James understand the importance of a thoughtful guest journey. Whether you’re staying with us or trusting us with your home, our goal is simple: To deliver an experience that feels thoughtful, personal, and truly elevated.
