Sapillo Creek Escape is a one of a kind gem in the Gila Wilderness. Come experience our beautiful home in the Gila National Forest for a relaxing and rejuvenating vacation. Adjacent to Lake Roberts and minutes from the Continental Divide, our custom-built, southwest style home features comfort and luxury with incredible mountain views, 20 acres for hiking and enjoying the outdoors, plus the Gila right outside the door. Proximity to Silver City, NM means the best of both worlds – nature and serenity plus restaurants, galleries, shops and loads of local events. Our home boasts 4 kiva fireplaces, Santa Fe style design with saltillo tile and custom touches throughout. Strategically placed windows and decks capture the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Sapillo Creek Escape borders the Gila National Forest on several sides, and additionally, the pristine Sapillo Creek runs through the property. If you’re a fisherman, bring your reel and fish right on the property, or take a quick drive to Lake Roberts for fishing, canoeing and kayaking. Take a hike in the Gila or around Lake Roberts, visit the Gila Cliff Dwellings or Hot Springs, or take a scenic drive into Silver City for dining, shopping, museums, and a multitude of galleries and events. Kick back and relax on one of our many decks and porches, enjoy the view and the peaceful sound of the wind in the pine trees. Take a nighttime walk on our property to view the stars – the Gila National Forest enjoys some of the darkest skies in the continental U.S. Over 3,200 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. This is one of a kind space hosting four full bedrooms with adjoining decks that show off majestic views at 6,000 feet elevation. There are three full bathrooms and 4 kiva fireplaces! You have access to it all! The entire house was built by hand and it took nearly 7 years to complete. Everything is custom and I can promise you that you will never stay in a place like this! A great location to retreat to and escape from the everyday! We want you to share this jewel with your family, friends, biking crew, birding group, hiking tribe, fishing buds, and your hunting pals to enjoy Sapillo Creek Escape! We will entertain pets so long as they get along with other pets and have their recent vaccinations. If you are bringing a cat/cats or a dog/dogs, we have had issues with pets soiling the carpet and scratching up the doors. Please crate or keep pets in their carriers when you are not in the house or take your pets with you. We avail the use of a dog crate in the common area for dog(s) and for cats, please bring your own cat carrier. Also, please keep them off of the furniture to make it easier to clean and to be mindful of future guests who may be allergic. Finally, please pick up after them and throw the poop bags into a larger trash bag since we have to take the trash out to the dump and keeping track of all the individual poop bags is disgusting and annoying. You're on 20 acres of our land, so camping is welcome! We live in a building across the way from the main house and the casita. We are around about 70% of the year. We are on site and should not disturb or disrupt any stays - we can be of service for any emergencies or last-minute questions - otherwise, we will stay out of the way and allow you the tranquility and solitude Sapillo Creek Escape provides. As of December 2025 we became the proud owners of Nigerian Dwarf goats and chickens. We hope that by Spring/Summer 2026 we will have goat milk and eggs for sale onsite. Also, if you would like to interact with any of our goats or chickens, please let us know and we can arrange it! Please do connect via VRBO, phone or text. We have high speed internet access and a wifi extender but there are no TVs in the home. We want you to disconnect while you are here and enjoy the environment around you! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In the mountains - On a lake ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 3,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114470000/114460200/114460134/85affcab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning remodeled 1900's adobe home in the center of the historic district Silver City - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-31&endDate=2026-02-01&selected=114460134&PinnedHotelID=114460134&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112550000/112543600/112543562/9228dc87.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Roberts Cabin in the Pines Lake Roberts - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-31&endDate=2026-02-01&selected=112543562&PinnedHotelID=112543562&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39680000/39674100/39674035/0032997d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### College District Art House - Patio - Walk to Downtown - Sleeps 5 Silver City - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 74 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-31&endDate=2026-02-01&selected=39674035&PinnedHotelID=39674035&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/85000000/84400000/84393000/84392922/96fac790.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tranquil escape nestled in the forest on a beautiful horse ranch.

No matter what the weather there was a balcony area to accommodate spectacular views. The artwork scattered throughout the home was beyond compare.I especially enjoyed how fully staffed the kitchen area was. We had some exquisite meals that we enjoyed in each of the three eating areas located in this home.

The yard was perfect for our sweet dog, and every day we had a new adventure waiting for us in the Gila. Jennifer and her husband were incredibly kind to us and responsive, making our stay that much more enjoyable. We loved the house and park so much, we asked to stay one more night in this lovely gem. We definitely plan for a return trip and feel incredibly lucky to have experienced a week away in nature and in a house that is so exceptional! ##### Jason W.

Kitchen is fantastic, good because you’ll need to bring your own food to this remote-ish area. Nearby, Lake Roberts is gorgeous and serene, and the Gila ruins and river trails are fabulous. We had a great time here -- Sapillo Creek is a gem, and we would love to come back! Thank you! ##### Elaine E. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim L. 23 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Setting This get-away place in the Gila mountains is truly beautiful. The surrounding hills and mountains are partially tree covered and grand. The setting is perfect for the house. We had our dog with us, and the walled and fenced in yard was perfect. The house is a wonder and unique beyond anywhere else we have stayed. It is well represented by the pictures and description given by the owners. Two things to note: 1) There are three other houses/cottages on the property, though we still found plenty of privacy during our stay. 2) If you have a larger group staying at the house, it is worth noting that there is no indoor gathering room large enough to gather. The living room is small and in an L shape. This was not a problem for us. For us, over-all, this is a 5 star place to rent and stay at with reasonable rates. ##### Tim L. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff W. 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquil Retreat in the Heart of the Gila From the moment we arrived at this stunning hacienda, we knew we had discovered something special. The enclosed courtyard welcomed us with charm, and seamless online check-in made settling in a breeze. Stepping in, we all said, "Wow!" and kept saying, "Wow" until we had explored the entire home.Each evening, we were drawn to the living room, savoring the warmth of the kiva fireplace as the sun set through the large west-facing windows. The space is large and thoughtfully designed—ideal for a small group like ours but well-suited for larger gatherings, with an abundance of dining and kitchen space. Two couples could have their own master bedrooms with 2 more beds for another three -- that's luxury. And the multiple decks—so many!—provide endless opportunities to soak in the landscape.Beyond the property, we explored the Gila Cliff Dwellings, Purgatory Chasm, City of Rocks State Park, Emory Pass, and Silver City (fill up on gas while there; the drive is longer than it seems!). Hillsboro and Kingston were hidden gems, with cool museums and welcoming townspeople.The owner of this hacienda is exceptional. Her hospitality added to the warmth and comfort of our stay.Of the many properties we've rented, this one stands out, and we are eager to return. No TVs, just breathtaking views, a well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds, serenity, and a deeps sense that someone truly cares about this place. ##### Jeff W. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison T., Hummelstown, PA 18 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of life We just spent six days at this beautiful, unique home that sits inside the Gila National Forest. The home is spacious, well appointed and is located on a fairly secluded piece of land. Because the nearest gas/groceries/restaurants are nearly an hour away, we cooked most of our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed to do so. The beds were comfortable and we loved that there were so many seating areas and balconies throughout the house to enjoy our morning coffee and afternoon wine. There's no light noise so one of our favorite activities at night was sitting on the balconies, watching the stars. (We were fortunate to be at the house during a meteor shower - WOW!) We came to hike and explore and there are several nice trails close by - we did Purgatory Chasm and the Lake Roberts North Trail - as well as a hike through the chasm next to the house. We also visited the Gila Cliff Dwellings (very cool) and Esperanza Winery - highly recommend. One thing to note: this house is fairly remote; it takes a long time to get around in the Gila forest because of the switchbacks. A trail or sight that's 30 miles away might take an hour or more to reach. We loved that it was remote but we also didn't get to do everything we wanted to do because we didn't realize how long it would take to reach some of the trails, like the catwalk. Still, we look forward to going back. ##### Alison T.

Could use a little dusting, but we loved everything about the house. We came down to visit family. Our husbands were raised in the area and still have family there. We spent all of our time out and about in the area. ##### Ginny L.
