Our stay was not what we expected. Upon arrival, we were immediately informed of a curfew, which made the atmosphere feel restrictive rather than relaxed. The description on Vrbo did not state that the property owner was living in the same unit being rented out as a vacation rental. This was somewhat deceivable, as it was not disclosed in the listing, and it created an uncomfortable dynamic where we felt as though we were intruding on someone else’s personal space.Additionally, the door to the unit was left unlocked, and we later realized it was actually an entrance to another inner unit. This caused confusion and left us feeling unsettled. Overall, the lack of privacy and the shared living arrangement were not accurately reflected in the listing, which made our stay far less enjoyable than anticipated.Other than that, the unit itself was nice and the surrounding landscape was pretty. Unfortunately, it was not worth what we paid for.

Not what was expected

Upon arrival, we were surprised to find out that we were not alone in the house. I was under the impression that my family was the only one with access to our portion of the house. Not so, we opened doors that were not locked and came upon other guests who were quite rude. At that point we became uncomfortable enough to decide to leave and stay at a local hotel. When contacting the owner about our experience we were informed that there was a strict no refund policy. After another attempt to communicate with the owner, the owner chose not to respond to me. Worst experience I have ever had using VRBO and extremely surprised at the owners lack of willingness to come to some sort of resolution.

Place was perfect. Beautiful and comfortable home with the added bonus of bird watching while enjoying a coffee in the morning. The location was also convenient to the sights of the Gila. Definitely would go back

FILTHY DIRTY ~ OVER IMPOSING HOSTS ~ CONSTANTLY WATCHED ~ NO PRIVACY ~ LIVING IN THEIR STUFF

This was the WORST vaca stay I ever had. It is not a vacation home. It was like staying as an UNwelcome guest in some stranger's home with all of their belongings. It I chose to stay because I was exhausted from 6 months of travel and I tried to make the best of it but it was a very, very, very unpleasant and uncomfortable experience - eveyrthing was FILTHY DIRTY. The bedding and towels felt dirty - I never slept on the beds the entire time. The kitchen was FILTHY - all kinds of food dirt and the owners old, smelly food everywhere - no place for my own food or clothes - I never even unpacked. The rugs and kitchen carpets were also filthy dirty. There were old pharmaceutical drugs everywhere. There was dust on everything. It was very dirty and dusty. The closets were full of their personal items. There were food smells. I tried to air it out and the owner abruptly came in and slammed the door closed demanding I keep the door closed. Then after she reprimanded me, she emailed me so as to continue to invade my private space and remind me of her rules. Lots and lots of rules there. THE owner is VERY INTRUSIVE and OVER IMPOSING. Whenever I walked on the property, I felt that they were watching me. When I went in the hot tub, the male owner stood in the doorway of his house watching me. It was extremely uncomfortable ~ I knew that I would not get my fees back and I was exhausted so I did make the best of it, but I highly recommend you SKIP this place.

Close to town, yet a world away!

Ann and I thoroughly enjoyed our way-too-short 48 hours in Silver City. We chose Azaima’s “Heart and Wings Retreat” as a base for exploring Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and Silver City. Azaima’s “Tanager Suite” was lovely — surprisingly large, full kitchen, living room, bedroom with huge windows overlooking bird feeders and woods. Even a sitting area w/sofa bed. Lovely decor, spiritual touches throughout. And very clean. We’d love to return to explore more of the region. Thanks to Azaima, Brandon and pups Zola and Cassie!

Lovely location close to town

I really enjoyed staying here. The property is beautiful and a nice distance from town. The host was pleasant and helpful, but otherwise left us to our own devices. While we knew there were others staying at the property, it wasn't noticable except for a few stray words as people walked by.

Great Week for Birders

We loved our view of the sunrise from our bedroom, then the view of a tree full of birds and bird feeders--from our bedroom and from the porch. Could have spent the day right there. Wonderful host, helpful with local information, and generous hospitality. Thank you Azaima!!
