0.2mi from Lake Roberts · 1 site
Sapillo Creek Escape is a truly unique gem in the Gila Wilderness. It sits at 6,000 feet above sea level, was custom designed and built by the creator of the Bear Creek Motel and Lodge in Piños Altos, and took 7 years to construct. Everything from the saltillo tiles to the wood latilla ceilings are custom built and exquisitely hand-laid. With over 3,000 square feet in the home at your disposal, this place is made for just you, or you and your family and friends, to enjoy the Gila Wilderness, Silver City, and Grant County. Fishing, birding, biking, hiking, horseback riding and more await you in the Gila, with dining, arts, culture and more in Silver City. The Casita at Sapillo Creek Escape sits on 20 acres, so camping is welcome. Pets are permitted with prior review and approval. All pets must be friendly and get along with other pets, and must be fully vaccinated (proof of vaccinations is required, especially rabies, parvo virus and kennel cough). We purchased Sapillo Creek Escape in early 2019. We are thrilled and honored to own it, and be the caretakers of this gem, which was so dear to the owner’s heart.Welcome to our home! Tommy & Jennifer

Remote Lobo Lodge/N Bar Ranch
2. Remote Lobo Lodge/N Bar Ranch
39mi from Lake Roberts · 1 site
Lobo Lodge is located in the Gila National Forest of New Mexico at a cool 8,000-foot elevation on the historic N Bar Ranch, nestled in a secluded mountain valley.
This cabin is the perfect base for hikers, bikers, photographers, wildlife lovers, birders, wolf watchers, Jeep enthusiasts, and anyone who loves wild places and things.
We are among the most remote locations in the lower 48 states accessible by vehicle. The cabin offers a front-row seat to one of the greatest wildlife success stories in North America. We are Ground Zero for the Mexican gray wolf (lobo) reintroduction.
It's almost guaranteed that you'll hear wolves howling alongside yipping coyotes in the evenings and early mornings. Sightings in the meadow are very common. Other wildlife includes pronghorn antelope, mule deer, foxes, badgers, bears, mountain lions, and all kinds of other critters.
The valley is a birder's delight! The porch overlooking the meadow is the perfect place to observe wildlife. Throughout the day, you can be entertained by our two resident pairs of red-tailed hawks, along with more than 300 other bird species.
For cyclists, some of the best gravel riding in the world begins right outside the front gate. The NMBDR (New Mexico Backcountry Discovery Route) runs directly past the property. For off-road adventurers, there are literally thousands of miles of two-track roads to explore.
Hikers will appreciate our proximity to the CDT (Continental Divide Trail) and easy access to the three northern trailheads leading into the Gila Wilderness, the world's first designated wilderness area.
For stargazers, it doesn't get much better. We are located in a Bortle 1 dark-sky zone, so bring your telescope!
THE CABIN
The cabin has two bedrooms. One bedroom features a queen bed and a sitting area, while the smaller bedroom has twin bunk beds. It's perfect for up to four guests.
The clean kitchen is fully stocked with all the cooking and eating utensils you'll need, along with a four-burner gas stove and oven. There is no microwave. The refrigerator is mid-sized and includes a small freezer.
The living room has a comfortable sofa and a couple of chairs.
The full bathroom features a shower/tub combination and plenty of hot water.
Heat is provided by two propane heaters.
There are front and back porches overlooking the meadows—one for morning coffee and one for evening beverages. The cabin has recently been renovated and is clean and comfortable.
The cabin is located near the ranch barns and corrals, so there is daily activity in the area. The cabin is solar-powered, and limited internet access is available.

Really cute little casita. Bigger than I expected. Jennifer warned me that it was rustic and indeed it was. Comfortable bed, camping like cooking and washing capabilities. That is what I was looking for. The night sky was amazing as were all the hikes around. The hot springs are 30 mins away on a beautiful drive and well worth it. Daily.

A little slice of quiet rustic heaven in a very noisy world. Jennifer & Tommy were great hosts, very helpful & hospitable. The location was perfect for exploring The Gila Natl Forrest with my pup. We visited the Gila Cliff Dwellings Visitor Center & received his Bark Ranger badge, hiked on numerous dog friendly trails & soaked in the hot springs.
The Casita had everything we needed to stay comfortably & even though our trip was in mid December, we stayed toasty warm & cozy. I felt safe & very at peace here. The casita was very clean, as is the property & very dog friendly. We both slept better than we have in a while, coming from the city.
Lake Roberts is beautiful, with the casita so close. I look forward to another trip so I can bring my kayak & enjoy the mountain lake.
