1 site · Lodging1 acre · Lake Roberts Heights, NM

A relaxing getaway for rent in the middle of three million acres of forested hills, majestic mountains and range land. It is probably best known for its wilderness areas, in particular the Gila Wilderness - the first wilderness in the United States. The magnificent mountain scenery, cool summer temperatures and relatively warm winters permit a wide range of recreational opportunities during all seasons. Spend your summer days at the grapevine cooling off in the Gila River or fish or kayak at Lake Roberts for a day of family fun or visit Doc Campbell’s for a relaxing day in the hot springs in to the Gila river.
