Having driven a long way to get there (from Wisconsin) for over 10 years, we know they have a vision about how the place should be and we appreciate the extraordinary effort which sometime also means firmness that Mike and Becky take to preserve the ambience of their little corner of paradise. They're very experienced in the hospitality business and know what it takes to assure the tranquillity that many of us seek in a unique place like this. — Guests from Wisconsin |
Casitas de Gila opened in June 1999. Whether you're looking to stay for one night or many nights, for bed and breakfast accommodation or for a vacation rental cabin with your own kitchen, you will find that we have everything you need to enjoy Southwestern New Mexico and the Silver City area at any time of year. We live on site, so are always available to our guests when they have questions or need information ... or just want to chat about the area. Our attention to our guests is something you rarely find at an airbnb or a hotel or motel. The five guesthouses of Casitas de Gila feature southwestern adobe-style architecture. Each Casita has a kiva fireplace (seasonal operation) with a supply of firewood, ceiling vigas (round wooden beams), a portal (small, traditional porch), a fully-equipped kitchen, and a living room with dining area. Four of the Casitas have one bedroom and a bathroom with a tub/shower combination; the fifth Casita has two bedrooms with a handicap-accessible bathroom with shower. They are all fully furnished throughout, and each Casita has a telephone and wireless high-speed internet access. Each of our cozy little guesthouses is individually decorated with Mexican furniture, antiques, crafts. The walls of each Casita are decorated with artwork similar to what we offer in our Art Gallery. Each Casita has been developed around a theme:

This information, as well as a large selection of books on the area and its natural environment, is available in each Casita. We are usually always available to answer any questions you may have about the area and its many attractions and activities, as well as to help you find activities that suit your particular interests and abilities, and provide maps if needed. If there is something specific in which you are interested, please enquire about it when you make your reservation. Each Casita has a spotting scope for guests interested in exploring the brilliant, clear night-time skies or watching the wildlife that is all around us. You'll find two star charts in your Casita, one of which glows in the dark! We have pads and electricity available in an area a very short walk from the Casitas (and away from any lighting) for guests who bring their own telescope.

The sun shines here, on average, about 90% of the year. Winter is a wonderful time to vacation in our part of the world, especially for those interested in daytime outdoor activities and/or night sky viewing. For Summer guests, thunderstorms and monsoonal downpours are exciting and beautiful events, and you might even get to see a brief flash-flood on Bear Creek and a double rainbow over Turtle Rock!
