Great location in the quiet community of Lake Roberts. Walking distance from Lake Roberts General Store. Lake Roberts is just over the hill for phenomenal Bass and Trout fishing, kayaking, or canoeing.

This is a central location to what the Gila has to offer. Close to Lake Roberts, 20 minutes to Gila Hot Springs; 25-30 minutes to the Gila Cliff Dwellings. Close by trails to hike and ride are far too many to list!

Notes

Please take note that this is a fairly remote location. You will need to bring food, as the nearest grocery store is almost an hour drive (Silver City). The closest restaurant is about 20 minutes away (The Log Cabin).

Cell service: There is NO cell service at the motel without logging into the WiFi. So make sure you print out instructions including the WiFi information and door code. You can connect to the motel WiFi from the parking lot if necessary. There is a T-mobile tower a few miles west of the motel and T-mobile phones can get service about a mile west on Hwy 35.

Inclement winter weather: please note that Highway 15 and Highway 35 are not plowed on weekends and evenings. It is rare that we get enough snow to block roads, but we are in the mountains and it can happen (most years a couple of times). Please watch the forecast for Lake Roberts, NM leading up to your stay.

During the monsoon season (July/August) we get heavy rains some years that can cause the arroyos to flow across Hwy 35. Again, watch the forecast leading up to your stay.
