Bed and Breakfast Accommodations

Rugged high desert landscape with views of the Gila Wilderness. From your Casita, you look down on Bear Creek and up on the cliffs and mountains that surround us.

At Casitas de Gila, a diversity of birds, animals, plants, and landscape will greet you every time you step outdoors. Early risers, enjoying a morning cup of coffee on their portal, may watch and hear quail, scrub jays, or hummingbirds in the pines around the Casitas or catch a glimpse of the mule deer and bighorn sheep that are frequent visitors to the cliffs above Bear Creek, across from the Casitas.

The hot tub perched on the edge of the cliff above the creek makes a wonderful ringside blind for watching birds and animals. When the sun begins to warm you, you can move your "activity" down to our hammock, in the shade of the willows and cottonwoods bordering the creek, for a peaceful nap or quiet nature observation.

Casita kitchens are stocked for breakfast with cereals, yogurt, orange juice, 2% milk, bagels, English muffins, as well as coffee and tea. In each kitchen, our guests will also find an assortment of condiments and spices (including salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, mayo, herbs and spices) and sodas and cookies. All this is supplied with no additional charge. Each casita has a bbq grill and we also have a gas grill available.
