Nestled 1 mile from the Gila National Forest and 1 mile down a dirt road between Silver City & Pinos Altos, a peaceful retreat awaits you. The casita kitchen allows you to prepare your own meals. The location allows you to enjoy Downtown Silver City restaurants & galleries 15 minutes away, or the iconic Buckhorn Saloon & Opera House just up the road in Pinos Altos. We are on-site, life long locals, and welcome those who enjoy the rugged beauty of SW New Mexico. Our 650 square foot casita has been a labor of love that we've been honored to share with friends and family, and are pleased to now share on airBnB. 1-3 adults can fit comfortably, with a living/dining area, kitchen with all the amenities, 1 full bathroom, 1 bedroom w/ queen size bed+ a twin size bed in the nook off of the kitchen. There is a mini-split ac/heat unit in the both the living room and bedroom. Please see pictures for more details. We love living in forest terrain, but just 10 minutes from the intersection of Hwy 15 and 32nd Street Bypass. The nearest public access to the Gila National Forest is one mile away. Our daytime skies are some of the bluest, and our nightime skies are some of the darkest. The casita has its own dedicated WiFi for your personal devices, as well as a smart TV in the living room (no cable, satellite, or antenna). The kitchen includes a fridge/freezer, two gas burners, microwave, air fryer, coffee maker + all the amenities you'll need to prepare simple meals. The bedroom is accessed through the bathroom. There is a solid, heavy door separating the living area and bathroom, and a light-weight, accordian style door separating the bathroom and bedroom. This lighter door affords visual privacy but is not soundproof. Please review the pictures and consider your comfort levels with this set-up as you plan. Our water comes from our well. We are thankful for the good water pressure our well provides, and request that our guests are sustainably minded in regards to shower lengths and running water. The family German Shepherd joins us on the property as we tend the chickens and go on walks, and may run up to introduce itself to you if given the opportunity. Out of consideation for those with pet allergies, we do not allow pets in the casita.
