Casitas De Gila Guesthouses & Art Gallery

Spur of the moment trip from Tucson without a plan or place to stay! Found Casitas de Gila while driving and called to see if they could accommodate us for one night and they did. It's always a worry when trying to find a place like this and only booking for one night but it was no problem at Casitas de Gila.Get ready for a 5 mile dirt road to get there but rest assured the road is well maintained and not scary for those traveling in a regular passenger car. As others have mentioned, be sure to grab your supplies in Silver City or bring them with you because once you get to Casitas de Gila, you're not gonna want to leave, especially if it means traveling in the evening! Checked in at the office with Becky and she was kind and friendly. Michael greeted us at our casita and gave us the grand tour. He's a very friendly, knowledgeable man (geologist) who gave us so much information about the land, the history, animals and dark skies. The casita (we were in the bird casita) is so comfortable! Super comfy bed, lots of plush towels and extra blankets/pillows, heated floors, BBQs (charcoal and propane), birdseed to feed the tons of quail, entertainment in the way of board games, books and such, a telescope and lots of stuff for cooking to make your stay enjoyable. All the dishes/cookware you'd need, coffee/tea/filters, spices/seasonings, condiments and included were a fresh half gallon of milk, orange juice, bagels, English muffins, cream cheese, butter, jellies/jams and a delightfully delicious loaf of pumpkin pecan bread that Becky makes. Incredible!We grilled steaks and corn on the Weber grill and enjoyed a night of board games when we weren't outside stargazing. The little art gallery is full of jewelry (Becky makes some), beautiful oil paintings (Michael is a great artist), t-shirts, cups, and plenty of other interesting items. We purchased a t-shirt and cup with the Casitas name on them and bought a very interesting and unique mask made from a gourd.We loved our stay at Casitas de Gila and would love to stay there again!

My wife discovered this piece of paradise and we cannot wait to return.

We stayed at your lodge in October of 2012. When news of Hurricane Sandy reached us it put a crimp in our plans to return to New York City. When the full moon rose over the hills to the east, it made us feel so fortunate that we were in this spectacularly beautiful place! Here is one of my images I took on the night we were there.

Absolutely loved this place. It was my first introduction to New Mexico and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is way out of the way and just plain beautiful.My recommendation is bring everything you possibly need, because you won't be leaving the mountain during your stay.

This is so, so worth the drive to get there! Sweet, comfortable, nicely appointed little houses, great hosts, and breathtakingly beautiful surroundings. Bring all the supplies you need for your trip - the full kitchen makes cooking easy, but the only food available on the mountain was meat for the grill in front of each house. Definitely do wake up in the middle of the night to see the stars - the view is magical.As an added bonus, at least as of our visit, there was no internet, no cell phone reception, and no tv - just a wonderful chance to disconnect and appreciate life. Fantastic!

Nice, separate adobe guest houses, overlooking a small creek. Well equipped (incl. a astronomical telescope!). About 4 miles away from the next village - New Mexico at its best. Make sure you buy your stuff in Silver City - there's no supermarket around. Unfortunately we could only stay one night in this great place.

My wife and I came here for our anniversary. The Casitas and the view are beautiful. Well-stocked kitchen for your culinary desires, though you must bring your own food supplies. Hot tub in the middle of the terrain was cathartic!!!My only negative comment is the host ( Becky) was very curt and to the point. Not the type of host one would expect at a bed am breakfast. But hey, to each their own. It didn't spoil my trip!

Came all the way from Nevada to be told we cannot walk on the land, very rude at the "office" which we went up to because we had questions. Very disappointed in this was very excited to see the beautiful river and mountains but was stopped right before.

Gorgeous setting, accommodations, and access to nature. Unfortunately, co-owner Becky has an open bias against persons with disabilities. Very unwelcoming toward us and our registered and trained service animal. Unfortunately, this will keep us from returning. I'm concerned for others with disabilities or other differences that she will prohibit from accessing this location because of her prejudices. Not only is it offensive and stigmatizing, it's illegal.

Took advantage of the weekend before Labor Day to have an overnight escape from our hometown, just 45 min. away. Very grateful for the chance to have a luxurious friendly experience. Mike & Becky are wonderful hosts and the accommodations could not be more relaxing and comfortable. Of course there's peace + serenity, best night skies, excellent hot tub and dozens of hummingbirds at the feeder. Scenery is stunning and the place just couldn't be better in any way. Gracias!
