Quail Run Tiny Guesthouse
2 sites · Lodging1 acre · Alamogordo, NM
Quail Run was delivered to us June 10th 2020. In decorating the house I wanted it to have the feel of the Old West so it is rustic and cozy at the same time. The outside was finished with American cedar and corrugated metal giving it a modern twist on the old west. Inside you'll find neutral tones, curtains made with from burlap bags, kitchen sink which is actually a galvanized pail. There are other surprises in the bathroom which is quite ample. Upstairs in the loft is a memory foam mattress, quilts, fluffy pillows and two small Windows which offer a pleasant cross breeze.
Also displayed outside on the fence is an old saddle which has seen better days. It was a gift from a Mescalero Apache fellow whose parents found that saddle in the woods in Mescalero in the 1950s. Although it's not beautiful I consider it a treasure. Make sure you take a look while you're here.
Once the house was delivered we went to town adding our own touches to the decor, actually reworking the kitchen and finishing all the wood. The fellow who built it also delivered it from Denver for us, set it up, and built a ramp right on site. We rewarded him with a spaghetti dinner and sent brownies later, hahaha!
Our tiny house is a little beauty and very popular! We hope you visit soon!

Camping near Alamogordo guide
Overview
Set in the Chihuahuan Desert, Alamogordo features campsites with serene views of the Sacramento Mountains. RV parks in town typically have pull-through and back-in campsites, plus private cabin rentals with AC, while amenities may range from full hookups, dump stations, and cable TV to free wifi and a swimming pool. A quick trip to Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, 20 minutes south, also offers tent sites and RV camping with full hookups, picnic tables, and grills. Alamogordo hikers will want to set out on the Riparian Nature Trail for mountain views and down into Dog Canyons to jump into swimming holes. Zip into Lincoln National Forest, right beside Alamogordo, for more tent camping and RV sites with access to potable water, dump stations, and restrooms with showers. See the railroad at the Trestle Depot Recreation Area, or head to the Ski Cloudcroft Resort to cruise groomers in winter. Looking for ATV trails? Rip around on sand dunes in White Sands National Park, perfect for a day trip since it’s just 20 minutes away.
