Casita on Sapillo Creek Escape

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

ESCAPE to the L.C. Ranch , Gila NM

The Historic L.C. Ranch can accommodate up to 5 RVs with full hookups & WiFi, including  3 sites with 50 amp electrical service, 

 We are not accepting tent or car campers at this time of year.  

The L.C. Ranch was the second largest Cattle Ranch in American history.

 In its heyday around 1900 it was over one million acres.

 Today the cows are gone, along with the vast tracts of land and the cowboys that managed the herds.

 The Lyons and Campbell Ranch Headquarters remains as a time capsule of an era past. The extensive adobe compound includes the 27 room adobe mansion of Cattle Baron Tom Lyons and his wife Ida Campbell, along with the fabulous Old West Saloon, Jail, post office, bunkhouses, Theater and Chapel. In the summer months enjoy the great swimming pool, and in the spring and fall enjoy the Mimbres design hot tub. Our RV sites are closed in the winter, but our Airbnb apartments are closed in January only.

 

The Theater has just added a video cinema system to its live performance capabilities.

 Think "movie night".

 There is a lot of history here, and for just $10/person you can take the 2 hour tour of the historic grounds.

 The L.C. Ranch is located in the tiny village of Gila, just 30 minutes from Silver City, right off U.S. 180 on NM Hwy 211.

Historic 187 foot long portal of the Main House


20 foot long Mahogany Bar in the Old West Saloon.  The Saloon has hosted many weddings and parties, good for up 70 people.  This is a BYOB Historic old west saloon, not a business, no liquor license.  We think it is more fun this way. Bring your own damn beer!

The Mimbres design Hot Tub is a one of a kind.  Concrete, it is wood, gas and solar heated.  Painted by Muralist Amanda Pullano, it is an unrivaled Hot Tub experience.

The old west Saloon is BYOB, and we like it that way! 

Our little chapel has an old cast iron bell, and a secret...

"Bill's spacious, graveled RV site has well-maintained full hookups and its own private driveway. It's located in a quiet, wooded, sparsely settled neighborhood with occasional visits from deer.  The location is very convenient to everything that Silver City has to offer.  Bill is easygoing and very accommodating.  We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay twice.  We hope to stay with Bill again in the future."
