Great little house with all of the basic amenities someone looking for a place not too rustic would love. Harvey was extremely friendly, and gave us any and all of the privacy we could want. The dirt roads are pretty bumpy, so if you come in a standard height car take it slow.

We stayed at one of Duc's duplex's. It was a great launch point for our backpacking trip and also a great stay over after the backpacking. Duc and Erikah are nice people that make sure you have a nice stay. The setting is beautiful--you can walk right down to the Pecos River and might even be escorted by their friendly, lovable Great Pyranees dogs --Luna and Max. Have fun!
