Duplex Casitas

...surrounded by nature

Your own world tucked into the cliffside right at the entrance to one of our most compelling canyons. Hand crafted adobe and plaster, surrounded by mature shade trees. An expansive wild lawn. Captivating geology. Native corn and amaranth gardens. You're there. Hike up into the cliffside and explore red rocks niches, dotted with juniper, and walk the self guided on-site archeological tour. Have morning coffee on your porch as the birds awaken then meander over to The Lodge for breakfast  just a moment away. (The Lodge is public for all no matter where you're sleeping.)

Authentically Southwest. Saltilo tile floors handcrafted in Mexico. Soft adobe curves and clean white walls with warm wood and viga ceilings. Cozy and refreshingly cool, warm when you need it to be. Good beds and wind dried cotton linens for deep sleep. (We get a lot of comments about deep sleep here). Attention to detail. Thoughtful artwork. Just enough kitchen to to provide for yourself: small fridge, m-wave, dishes, tea pot and pour over coffee - we provide the beans, locally roasted. 

Archeology surrounds you

​Each "side" is uniquely designed, both are charming.
