Bakers Akers is located in what used to be Nebblett, New Mexico but is now Virden, New Mexico. The one room Nebblett school house was located on this property. Virden was settled by the Mormons when they were ran out of old Mexico by Poncho Villa. Kit Carson took this route guiding General Kearney and the Army of the west to California during the Mexican American war. It is now being discussed that Coronado may have come through this area also. The farm was used for breeding and training race horses. It is now a cow/calf operation. Learn more about this land: Camp on the Gila River amongst the century old Cottonwoods and Mulberry trees, with Bermuda grass carpeting. Plenty of shade to pitch a tent or park under. Wildlife abounds with deer, beaver, turkeys, javelina, and a large variety of birds. Located on a eighty acre cattle ranch. Quiet with great views of stars at night and majestic mountains in the day. The camp grounds are located beyond the cattle pastures and next to the Gila River. Fire pits available and plenty of wood to gather for burning. Eleven miles from the historic town of a Duncan Arizona, filled with little markets, craft store, antique shop, rock shop, and home town restaurants, if any needs arise or an itch needs scratching. With prior notice and extra fees a New Mexican dutch-oven dinner and hayride can be included.

Room in sweet rustic old adobe house located just South of downtown in Chihuahua Hill. Even though it’s just me you share the house with, it’s got a hostel vibe due to the communal spaces, shared bathroom and kitchen. Great views, cool art, uncluttered space, simple furnishings. Nice bedroom with full size bed. Well equipped kitchen is available for use from 7 am till 9 pm. Close to hiking trails as well as downtown Silver City. The Gila wilderness is just 15 minutes away by car.

We were met by a very kind man, Jesse I believe, who led us to our spot. Our daughter had so much fun playing with everything. Is as adults absolutely enjoyed the large fire and peace we felt. The sunset was amazing! Great place for the family!
