Ranch was the second largest Cattle Ranch in American history. In its heyday around 1900 it was over one million acres.

The extensive adobe compound includes the 27 room adobe mansion of Cattle Baron Tom Lyons and his wife Ida Campbell, along with the fabulous Old West Saloon, Jail, post office, bunkhouses, Theater and Chapel. In the summer months enjoy the great swimming pool, and in the spring and fall enjoy the Mimbres design hot tub.

Go back in time in this rare 28-foot M-Systems coach, located in the elm forest near Western New Mexico University; a short walk to downtown (galleries, shops, restaurants, food coop) Farmers Market, Gough Park, and grocery store. Explore Silver City from this intimate 200 sq. ft. space that will provide a respite from your day of adventures and activities in the area. Owner is an artist and works and lives adjacent property called the Rusty Nest! With many original features, updated plumbing and electrical. Galley kitchen with original sink and refrigerator; kettle, convection hot plate, toaster. Pour- over coffee maker or Keurig upon request; dining table with bench seating. Dishes, utensils, ice, coffee and tea; sheets and towels. There is a very comfortable new twin bed, best for single person due to compact layout and bed space, but might work for two people if you really like each other! Built in 1949 (a great year!), this vintage travel trailer has been lovingly restored by artists-owners to 90% of its historic beauty, including original birch veneer walls. We re-used original materials, scavenged and recycled others. We have completely restored the interior with vintage cabinets, hardware, finishes, refrigerator, sink and shower, and lighting. The exterior is a work in progress, does not affect the comfort of the interior. Guest access You will be the only guests during your stay, and you have a private driveway, unpaved, and fully fenced yard. Hosts are adjacent to the property, available if needed by text. Step out the door and enjoy a large yard with raised bed gardens, fruit trees and plenty of shade. Other things to note: Silver City boasts four mild seasons!

If it’s warm on a summer day, it will cool off fairly quickly under the shady elms, with ceiling vents and windows open, and a fan is available. There is no ac or central heat. Full disclosure: this is essentially a 75 year old tiny house with quirks and charming details. Whenever possible, the interior has been opened up to add space and flow for modern living. Keep in mind: this is ‘glamping’ and doesn’t have all the comforts of a house; it’s not sealed like a house and sometimes some dust or drafts may make it inside. We encourage guests to remove their shoes on entering, to preserve the new floor. If you’re an adventurous soul you’ll be a perfect fit! Staying in an 75 year old travel trailer is a unique experience; we like to think this is part of the charm! There are three steps to front door, no handrail, uneven unpaved yard and driveway. No smoking or pets. There is no TV; we are working on internet service. This is a great place to spend a weekend in the tranquility of the mountains, under the New Mexico stars. We are all about respecting the space and our neighbors by keeping the noise down and limiting access only to those on the reservation. You'll find this makes for a wonderful evening for all!
