Our stay in the cabin was lovely. It's a sweet space - clean, cozy and lots of thoughtful touches (nice sheets & comforter, good selection of cookware, etc). I appreciated the access to Netflix! My boyfriend got to do a little exploring and we would love to go back and really take the area in more. Was really a great place to stay!

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!!!

Thanks so much, Jamie. We sincerely appreciate your visit and hope we see you again. It would be our pleasure!

We stayed at the Hideout cabin for nearly three weeks during the month of October. We had a fabulous time. The property sits in a high valley. Less than a quarter mile from the front door is a trail that takes you up to the top of the high hills surrounding the property. We climbed that trail and were rewarded with fantastic, long views that extended into Arizona. At night, the lack of light pollution gives one a spectacular view of the night sky. The cabin is charming. We loved every minute that we were there. In hindsight, given the cold nights and the warm days, we should have remembered to bring house slippers, but that was one of the few regrets we had. The kitchen is easy to cook in, and contains most of the basic equipment one needs. Those who love spicy food may wish to bring their own spices with them, and maybe your favorite sharp knives and such. While the nearest full grocery store is 30 miles away, there is a convenience store of sorts over in Cliff, a short drive. Our hosts were wonderful. They catered to our needs while leaving us completely alone, which was what we had gone in search of: A chance to disconnect from the daily world and reconnect to nature and ourselves. And yet, if we chose to, we could re-plug in with Wi-Fi and Netflix. We will recommend this property to all of our friends. P.S. Those who are recyclers should plan on packing their recycling out as there is no way to recycle while on the ranch. They don’t have the facilities for obvious reasons.

Lorraine and I had to take off quite early today, and we regret that we didn't have a chance to thank you personally. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Hideout Cabin; it was perfectly appointed, deliciously private, and in a lovely setting.

Special thanks to of you for trusting us with your vacation destination. We sincerely appreciate your visit and hope we see you both again, soon. I'll be sure to say "hi" next time I'm at the Little Toad...!

I was looking for a peaceful break away from the city. This hit the spot. The cabin had everything we could need. Very clean and comfortable. We didn't take advantage of all the trails, but, I did get to see 4 wild turkeys playing in the corral in front of the cabin. My husband didn't want to leave. We will come again.

Thanks so much, Christine. We are very happy you found the peaceful weekend you were looking for. Turkeys playing in the corral??? That must have been entertaining! We usually see them along the creek. It's just one of the reasons we love living here! Hope we see you both again. It was our pleasure having you here!

Debbie, it was a lovely place you have. Thank you for providing everything in the kitchen, etc. Two nights of total silence was great and I saw summer tanagers for the first time!

Thank you so much for the stay on your ranch! Everything was fantastic! My only regret is not scheduling more time here! Next time, I will! Your towels smelled so good.

Debbie - Thanks so much! I had a wonderful time at the Hideout. Such a beautiful and peaceful setting. The cabin was beautifully appointed and had everything I needed for a wonderful week away from life's stresses. I loved having my gecko companion who joined me for breakfast on the porch each morning. It made my day. I miss him, the porch, the view, and the sounds of nature each morning. Calgon take me back to Gila!

I was looking for peace and quiet. I wanted to relax, do some art, and hike in the Gila area. I accomplished all of those goals. I enjoyed starting my day out on the porch hearing the birds chirping and enjoying the company of a friendly neighborhood gecko. The ranch is in a beautiful location and the cabin is adorable and appointed with everything I needed for my week's stay. I enjoyed chatting with Debbie one day and appreciated her thoughtfulness when she brought me some fresh asparagus from her garden. So sweet. Thanks so much for a perfect vacation! 😀

My husband and I feel so fortunate to have been able to stay on the Double E Ranch at Hideout cabin. Debbie and Alan have worked so hard to maintain the true feel of the old west. One week they would be there working 9-6 from Monday thru Sunday. It is the true west. We saw cowboys on horses rounding up cattle and had to stop for 5 mules on the road to the cabin. There were cattle grazing everywhere. Needless to say the beef tastes wonderful. Our charming cabin was so clean and cozy with everything we would need including a stock of DVD's for us to use. We had everything we needed and loved every picture and piece of furniture and Egytian cotton sheets and cozy bed. It was also nice that they had a washing machine and dryer for our use, too. We enjoyed the porch everyday and the weather was exceptional, especially to us northerners. We loved hiking around the ranch and eventually ventured off to a few of many beautiful hiking trails a few miles from the ranch. Debbie left a great packet of detailed information on the ranch and things to do in the area. Because we were there for one month, we had time to view the Cliff Dwellings, The Catwalk and the fish hatchery which were so interesting and even had a visit to El Paso. Really the area of the Gila National Forest is one of the most beautiful areas in the U.S. The pictures on the Eggelstons website are true to what you will see. We also saw havelinas, deer and turkeys. It was such a great feeling to return to our cozy cabin every day that we hated to leave this quiet, pieceful place to visit. Thanks, Debbie, Alan and Chris for being so helpful and for the information that you provided. We can't wait to come back!!!! Mike and Jan

Living up against a beautiful mountain chain ourselves, this wasn't what we were expecting when it comes to the cabin being secluded from other cabins and their location. If you are looking for a peaceful place, this ranch was that. But if you want a more private cabin with the view of being able to see the glorious mountain chain all around you, this isn't the place to go because of their location. When it came to notifying us with the last minute details, this was poorly done. They had a family emergency, which we were sorry to here. They should make sure who ever is left in charge, completes this last step before their guests arrive. The cabin itself was mostly clean except for some animal hair on cushions and comfortable with all you would need for a relaxing get a way except for your food.

As I indicated in my email apologizing for the series of unfortunate events leading up to your arrival, I am happy to give you a full refund. Understanding your disappointment, I would much rather you be left with something positive about the experience. Please, send me your mailing address Our pricing is quite reasonable, the cabins are well furnished and clean. No other visitor has ever been unhappy with the scenery, views, location. Your comment about animal hair on the dining chair cushions was absolutely justified. I would have found it just as upsetting.

We had a fantastic long weekend staying in the cabin on the Double EE Ranch ; watching birds, walking and enjoying the clean air and spirit of New Mexico. Alan and Debbie were were accommodating and I would recommend their Ranch to anyone who wants to get some clean country air.

We had a very enjoyable weekend. Love your place!

Hello Deborah and Alan! We absolutely enjoyed our entire stay and meeting you both. Thank you for having such a wonderfully serene place to stay. We will definitely keep it on our return list. I have been meaning to post our review but had such a busy few weeks, I am finally getting to it. You truly have a gem at your ranch. M&J

Debbie and Alan,. We LOVED our stay in the Hideout Cabin. Everything was perfect. Already planning another trip!Carol and Ken
