About this house rental
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!

We hand a wonderful stay. Two nights was not enough :( It was a pleasure to walk through the house and see the beautiful details and care given to this gem
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2025
Just a gorgeous large home! Enjoyed the atmosphere although even a DVR would have been nice to watch DVD movies. We knew there was none when booked. We were disappointed in that each time we attempted to have a fire in the kiva fireplace…smoke came back at us and filled the room. Flu was open and wood was pushed to the back of the fireplace to no avail. Fire alarms went off repeatedly and we just did without. 1st bedroom double bed was not comfortable with dipping in the middle. Upstairs room was without complaint! Breeze came through just beautifully and I love colored towels. Good to have extra blankets and slept so well. Kitchen well stocked with plenty of fridge space and W/D’s x 2 was good. Balcony’s provided for soothing sitting and visits.

This property was a wonderful weekend experience. Everything went right- nothing went wrong.
Will definitely return. The Gila Wildness is like uncovering a gem. The owner met us at the property and welcomed us like family. There is a feel of genuine Southwest history staying in this expansive property. Thanks KR Smith
