Stunning views, incredible location, more ammenities than you could ask for, fabulously kind and generous hosts, and soul-soothing peace and quiet. My 3 month stay with Debbie and her ranch started as a way to unwind but ended up opening a new chapter in my life, New Mexico or Bust. If you're looking for a beautiful, natural place to decompress, with great privacy and access to the Gila Forest, Silver City and all the places between, this is the one.

Thank you, Dominique! We were happy to host you!

The Hideout cabin was perfect! Such a great spot and beautifully decorated too - they had everything we needed to make great meals at home and sit outside to enjoy the beautiful weather - we loved it!! Thank you so much for your great cabin - it was perfect! A great escape from the city and I loved how peaceful it was there - I hope to stay again soon!!”

Thanks, Gwen! It's always incredibly nice to hear our guests have found the peaceful beauty of our corner of New Mexico to be enjoyable and relaxing. Your return visit would be welcome - anytime!

Our stay in the Hideout Cabin was just as grand as it was last November in the Ranch House. Very peaceful and quiet. We enjoy it each time we visit.

It was an amazing trip to the Gila Mountains! Owners were amazingly accommodating and wonderful! Will visit again soon, perhaps in the summer months! Highly recommend this wonderful VBRO!

Owner Response

Thank you, Dominga! We sincerely appreciated your visit and hope we see you again, in the Spring!

From the moment I walked into your Cozy Hideout Cabin I felt at home. I had everything I needed and it was a pleasure visiting with you on the front porch. Even though it rained and I couldn't wander around town in Silver City as much as I wanted to I know I will be back. It was a bonus I could bring my dogs. The bed was the ultimate. I only wish I could have stayed longer but I will next time.

Owner Response

Thanks, Sherry! It was our sincere pleasure having you with us. We look forward to your next visit!

I just wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed my stay at the Hideout Cabin. It was without a doubt the most peaceful place I have ever stayed. The cabin truly was 'home' to me and I just want to say that you really do have a "piece of heaven" on earth! Hannah Dog says to also let you know how wonderful it was to play in the creek and chase the fish! Best wishes to you and your family! Christine

Wow! A beautiful place! Had a wonderful time! Enjoyed the time to sit and relax. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Owner Response

Thanks, Randy! We're very happy your enjoyed. We think it's a pretty special location, and are happy to know you did, too! Hope we see you and Debora again, for another visit!

Staying at the Double E Ranch was such a wonderful experience! The hiking on property was breathtaking and the ranch itself is the perfect balance of secluded yet accessible. There were also plenty of activities for my dogs, including playing in the local stream! It was such a gift to be able to stay here, and I would love to visit again!

Wonderful cabin in the woods. Hosts were easy to contact and checking in was a breeze. There was lots of helpful information at the cabin pertaining to potential adventures locally. The cabin was very comfy, clean, and quiet. Great stay and would go back in a heart beat. Thanks for being such great hosts!!

Owner Response

You are the best! We appreciate how tidy you left the cabin. Always appreciated!

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.

Owner Response

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.

Owner Response

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

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
