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

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.

We had a wonderful time in TorC and loved our stay in the Winnebago. It was so cute and well decorated and had everything we needed and the host was wonderful, met us at the gate when we arrived, showed us around, and gave us some good recommendations for the area. This was our favorite accommodations on our cross country road trip. Thanks so much!!

Once we got over the initial shock of the scary looking site, the camper itself and the thoughtful and clever amenities and decorations that Jennifer provided were great!
The photos of the trailer itself were just as on her post, but the beautiful landscape photos included in the post were not from the land where the trailer is located.
When you first arrive, it has the feel of a junkyard. But I loved the trailer how she had decorated it, etc. I would stay again, but my husband would not. But keep in mind that we are 68 year olds, so our opinions may not be shared by younger people!

All the amenities are there, but it’s a bit rustic. Very good as an off leash area for your four legged friends….no tub to soak in although it was listed on the description. It’s close to town and the on site host was very friendly and nice.

Weekend Trip to 1972 Winnebago Convert to Tiny Home
Jennifer’s converted Winnebago was fantastic, tons of charm & convenience & kept us out of the wind. Jennifer got us situated after hours on short notice which we really appreciated. Camp host Shawn met us as we pulled in & gave us the lay of the land. We really appreciated being able to bring our pups. Such a great stay, we slept well, enjoyed a hot breakfast, said good bye to Shawn, who was a great host. Highly recommend the experience!

Amazing little camp! Caretaker was amazing and very helpful. He talked to us about all kinds of topics and gave us loads of information for us as we are starting an off grid homestead. Buildings all repurposed and made new. So many cool ideas came to life here. Must check this one out.
