We immensely enjoyed our stay. The location, while rural and remote, was beautiful and the lodging charming.

First, thanks to Debbie, Allen, JayJay, and the horses for helping us feel right at home. I've never slept in a more comfortable bed, or on a more comfortable pair of couches. Whenever either of us sat down to read, the couches seemed to embrace us and put us to sleep. And that was just fine. As were the rockers on the porch, where we'd watch the birds and the trees and all the different shades of green against the impossibly blue sky. Thanks to evening rains in the high country, two of the creeks had enough water for minnows to exist, and the whole countryside was green. Although it was blazing hot during mid-day, the cabin's AC and ceiling fans kept us comfortable. And the stars, the milky way even, were breathtaking. Although the cabin is rustic, it had every convenience a person needs, and everything worked Even wifi. Visiting the horses was a daily treat, and on one visit I chanced to meet the owner's 9-yr old grandsons who were out walking dogs. I've never met such socially sophisticated and mannerly kids. The world needs more people like these. Except for these chance meetings, nobody bothered us, no overly solicitous visits from owners, and no chummy visits from kids or dogs. Just peace. I could've stayed there forever. But you DO want to do your shopping before you settle in! Although Silver City is only 25-27 miles away, that's a drive we didn't want to have to make until it was departure time. So THANK YOU to the Egglestons for sharing your joy and for giving such good instructions!!!

Incredible hiking on the Double E Ranch Trail directly out the front door of our cabin, where we were thrilled to see big horn sheep (one less than 100 feet away and no fear of our presence) and Javelina pigs. The area is also known for Elk, although we weren't so fortunate to spot any. About 40 minutes away Silver City offers an information center where you can get detailed maps on area hiking, along with a couple excellent Mexican restaurants and a few shops worthy of checking out. If you enjoy hiking, although more popular, we recommend the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and Lake Robert, near Silver City, and in the opposite direction The Catwalk, near Glenwood. We stayed in the extremely comfortable Agave Cabin. The floor plan, complete kitchen, and large porch were perfect. While rocking in a chair on the porch you can look watch the mountain for animals and listen to fluttering hummingbirds and hooting barred owls. This was the most relaxing cost effective trip we have ever taken. ~Ray and Tammie

If you're looking for a place to relax that is away from it all, this is it. Instead of city lights you see the clear night sky as you sit out on the porch sipping on some wine. This was the perfect place for us to get away for a few days to recharge the batteries.

Ramon, we sincerely appreciate your gracious review. It was our pleasure to host you and your wife and hope you make a return visit, soon. You were the perfect guests. Thank you!

Hi Debbie and Alan,We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Agave Guesthouse. The cabin was well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. We loved sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch with our morning coffee or evening glass of wine. We loved the silence broken only by the wind soughing through the trees and the birdsong. We especially enjoyed watching Alan and Bill work the horses in the paddock in front of the cabin.The Double E was a great base from which to explore parts of the Gila National Forest, particularly the Catwalk and the Gila Cliff Dwellings. We also took an afternoon to drive down to Silver City for a matinee performance by the Silver City Drama Society, as well as browse through the interesting shops and art galleries in the historic district.The trails around your property were well-marked and enticed us off the rocking chairs so we ended up with a good mixture of exercise and relaxation.I'd definitely recommend the Double E to anyone headed to New Mexico.

Hi Shelagh, It was truly our pleasure having you and Ned as our guests. I appreciated everyone of your suggestions, too. Great ideas that will certainly make the stays of future guests more comfortable and convenient. That's our goal! We sincerely hope to see you both again for a future stay. -- Debbie

Alan and Debbie, Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely cabin. It's just beautiful here!! All the extra touches - spices, pots and pans, a comfy bed - made our stay here so enjoyable. The nature and mountains out here are also so beautiful. We went on many hikes and loved our mornings and evenings on the porch! Thank you for having us as your guests. We feel so peaceful now!

Owner Response

We sincerely appreciate your kind comments. It was our pleasure to meet you both, very happy to hear you enjoyed our corner of southwest New Mexico and hope we see you again sometime soon for another visit! A special thanks, too, for leaving the cabin so neat and tidy!!

Couldn't have been any more perfect!

I wanted to say how great it was to stay at the cabin.Again Chris was great and enjoyed all fellow cabin-eers.It was everything I expected and more.Thanks again

Owner Response

Thank you, Michael. It was our pleasure to have you stay with us and hope you manage another visit, sometime in the future. All the best!

Quiet and CozyWhat a pleasant stay, if only for two nights. We kept wondering what was wrong. All we could hear was the sound of the leaves rustling and the birds chirping. NO CITY NOISE! The cabin had everything we needed. Rustic, just the way I like it.Watching the staff working the horses in the corral was an added attraction.You can hike up the mountain (fairly steep and rocky) or hike the roads for miles of pretty rolling countryside.Tammy's Cafe in Cliff is a local place with pretty good food and local flavor.Thanks to everyone for a great stay. Hi to the dogs,Chuck and Pam Darwin

The cabin and property were very easy to find and we very much appreciated how secluded it was out there. The cabin was very clean and comfortable and the in floor heating was tops. This was a very good spot to stay for a base to take day trips to the Gila where we did some fantastic hiking. Very easy, quick drive to Silver City. Also, there were peacocks on the property, just roaming around and that was awesome!!!

Owner Response

Thanks, Jamie! We really appreciated your visit. You were a super guest! I wish I could take credit for the peacocks...we don't know where they came from and THEY don't know where they are going! They were unexpected "guests", for sure!

My husband and I really enjoyed the rustic western charm of the cabin. It is cozy and comfortable, especially the bed, which is very important to me! The views are beautiful and we enjoyed a short hike, and also visiting the horses. Thanks Debbie and Allen for a wonderful stay!

I just wanted to thank you for letting me and my partner stay at that cute little cabin, we really enjoyed ourselves so much. And I’m a Chef so I really joined the deluxe kitchen you guys had! It had everything! So I had fun cooking as well. And we also fell in love with the horses! And the trails and scenery! We’re already planning another trip up there very soon, same cabin and everything! So thank again! -Roxy

Owner Response

Thanks, Roxy! We appreciate your visit and look forward to another visit, soon!

We stayed in the Rio Lobo cabin. Very spacious and comfortable. The ranch is secluded but easy to get to. A day trip to the Avila Cat Walks was just what the doctor ordered. We highly recommend the Double H Ranch!!!

We did not meet Debbie but knew someone was available if we had questions or needed anything. What a wonderful stay we loved the quiet, the stars the birds and the cabin. Great location to get to the catwalk hike one day and the big tree trail the next day. Close enough to to spend the day in Silver City had we wanted to. Everything we could have wanted was there! Thanks for a great stay! We will be back!

The Agave Cabin is lovely, spacious, well furnished, and comfortable. It's one of a few on a very rural ranch near Silver City. The cabin's front porch provides a delightful place to sit in the evening and enjoy the outdoors. One night we watched a group of quail feed right in front of the cabin. Later, when it's dark, star gazing is a big activity. For a quiet, convenient, rural get away, this can't be beat.

Owner Response

Thank you, Fritz. We sincerely hope your travels will bring back this way, sometime in the future. All the best! Debbie

Enjoyed the stay. The people were helpful and accommodating.

Owner Response

Thank you both for trusting us with your vacation. We sincerely hope you enjoyed your stay. Leaving the cabin so neat and clean is greatly appreciated. We hope to see you both, again. Safe travels and best regards, Debbie E.

Have you ever dreamed about sitting on a porch listening to the leaves rustle while you look out at a smooth flowing river with the quiet peaceful sounds of ranch animals in the background? Well here is your dream! the peace and serenity experienced in this place of nature is more than wonderful! In addition to the grandeur of the outside, the bed in the cabin was magnificent! i even e-mailed to find out the brand of mattress so I can buy one for my home. Want to live your dream? This is your place.

My family and I have a wonderful time and enjoyed walking around the property. It is a very cozy and well stocked cabin with amenities to meet our needs. Debbie and Allan took the time to introduce themselves and welcomed us. We look forward to returning.

I don't recall ever wanting a vacation to go on and on like this! If I am ever back in the Gila area, this is definitely where I would hoper to stay. Based on prior experience, it is almost certain I will be back. There are many attractions, but for me, it is the stillness, the view, the starry sky and the critters -- like the new foal born, red-tailed hawks, ole deer and on and and on... Again, many thanks! Maribeth

Owner Response

Maribeth, Thank you so very much for being such a considerate guest. Leaving the cabin so clear is greatly appreciated. It was a delight having you with us. I enjoyed out conversations, very much. All the best to you in your book-writing endeavors. We hope to see you again one day. Safe travels and best regards, Debbie

A very unique and quite location, I highly recommend these cabins. We stayed here in-lieu of renting a hotel a short drive away in Silver City. Why spend vacation in a hotel when something like this is available. Exceptionally clean and well maintained, this cabin was very comfortable and Debbie was very accommodating for our unpredictable arrival time. I would like to go back some day and spend some more time here, this part of the Gila certainly appears to be the road less traveled and a great place for a quite get away.

Agave cabin was a perfect place to retreat for some peace and quiet. Very comfy and beautiful place. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

I loved my stay at the EE ranch!! The cabin was remarkably well appointed with everything I needed. They were even so thoughtful as to supply me with a few cans of soup, rice, and beans when I got there which was a tremendous help with the grocery store 50 minutes away! The bed was super comfortable and the wifi was great (I work online and it was sufficient for my needs to do calls and live streams!). I stayed for over 2 weeks and would have loved to stay longer!! The ranch itself was lovely. One night after a late afternoon rain I caught a double rainbow over the rocky outcropping to the left of the cabin!! And nothing beat sitting out on the porch in the rocking chair at night enjoying a drink. Deborah was a great host and I highly recommend the EE ranch!! It was absolutely marvelous :)

A serious slice of heaven & the perfect place to spend our anniversary. But only if slowing down, breathing fresh air, taking in beautiful vistas, listening to the sights & sounds of a working ranch from rocking chairs, while sipping on lemonade sounds appealing. At night, after enjoying one of the many great action flick DVDs, we could lay out under the stars, and fall asleep to the hum of crickets and the odd bird song. Perfect for a weekend retreat, we could stay put, or by simply wandering across the field, for a choice of trails to meander & lose oneself for hours. The homey cabins have been kissed by the set design decorating gods (Debbie?) perfection down to the tiniest details. So, if a fuss free, natural experience is what your heart longs for, this may suit you!

We loved our cabin and wouldn't have changed a thing! Beautiful property!

We love this little cabin! So very peaceful here. Enjoyed morning coffee and evening wine on the covered deck. Thanks to you all for the most enjoyable stay.

Thank you for the wonderful peaceful place to stay and for your extra effort bringing in the twin bed for us. We appreciate your kindness and consideration. I tried to put a great comment on the internet but it wouldn't go through. So, thought I'd write instead. We love the cabin and the peace and quiet here. We enjoyed watching you and your horse, Alan. You are a remarkable marksman and your horse has nerves of steel. We were also impressed with the friendliness of the people in this area. Everyone made a point to make us feel welcome. Thanks again for your hospitality and all the extras. We hope some year to return.

Thank you for keeping the cabin so clean. We had a wonderful, relaxing time!

Thank you for trusting us with your vacation destination. We look forward to seeing you again, sometime in the future. Sincere thanks, Debbie and Alan

Thank you for the wonderful place to stay and for your extra effort bringing in the twin bed for us. We appreciate your kindness and consideration. We really appreciated the fully equipped kitchen. We didn't get to Silver City much and I could bake bread and make cookies. We loved all the extras. We loved the cabin and the peace and quiet here. We enjoyed watching Alan and his horses practice mounted shooting. What a remarkable talent between horse and man. We were so impressed with the friendliness of the people in this area. Everyone made it a point to make us feel welcome. Thanks again for your hospitality and all the extras. We hope some year to return.
