It is quiet if your looking to get away from the big city.

My only complaint is that there is no a/c and even though it cools down at night it was still a little warm for me. Everything else was great.

Beautiful and relaxing

I had the best stay here. The property and home were beautiful and clean. The host was friendly, welcoming and made sure I was comfortable. The hot tub and front porch were unexpected delights as were the hosts two dogs. I could have sat on the porch for hours watching the hummingbirds and relaxing. If you’re looking for peace, quiet and nature, this is definitely the place to stay. I can’t wait to come back!

Relaxing stay!

Would have preferred a full kitchen but we had a portable grill with us so we made the small kitchenette work for our needs. Really liked being outside of town and the road near by wasn’t very busy. First time to Silver City area and will most likely return sometime.

Wheelchair Accessibility

I don’t believe Azaima advertises this as a handicap accessible property, but it looked to me like it would work, so I called and talked to her before we went. Getting through the narrow doors was a bit difficult, but got easier when I got more used to it. if you go be sure and ask about door width because a wheelchair wider than mine would not work. I didn’t have any trouble with the toilet as it is a taller version. The bed is high, but my husband and I managed with a transfer board. I loved loved loved the sitting area with the dining table. No problem, transferring to those chairs and so much nicer sitting there with coffee in the mornings than it would have been in a hotel room. We also enjoyed the porch swing using the transfer board. We saw deer and bunnies every morning, and we loved hearing the peacocks and roosters. If I had one word to describe this property, it would be “charming”. I certainly hope to stay here if we visit Silver city again.

Very cozy mountain getaway

This property is very cute and peaceful. We loved the rocking-chair front porch, the garden view, and great price too. It was nice to have a large bathroom and kitchen/eating area in a small space. If there's people in the upstairs unit, you can hear them easily, but the owner told us that up front and it wasn't an issue during our stay. Extra points for the (owner's) adorable dogs coming over to have breakfast with us :)

So tranquil we didn't want to leave

The directions were thorough so we found the place easily. Once we got there we saw 2 deer on the property. The check in was easy and the 2 dogs were so adorable. The entire time we loved staying on the porch swing and rocking chairs. The hot tub was my personal favorite and easy to use. It was perfectly peaceful so much so that we waited until the very last second for check out. I would most definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Azaima Anderson

Host profile image
I grew up in Chicago, went to school on the East Coast, and did corporate work in big cities until I discovered the country. Moved to Maine and changed my focus to music and healing work.

I'm interested in helping people get out of their own way so they can make the difference they want to see in themselves and the world.

I've released four CDs. Three of them have original songs. My songwriting is lyric-driven, and the music serves the lyric rather than being restricted to a particular style. Some are folk, others pop, jazz, rock and blues.

Most recently, I've composed a CD of meditative prosperity chants in the Sufi tradition.

My healing work includes astrology, yoga, shamanic work, and a technique I created called Heart Lightning, which quickly removes mental and emotional blocks in as little as one session.

I'm an interfaith minister, and have married people on this property.

I live with a couple of dogs who entertain me so completely that I don't watch TV. (But guest rooms have a TV).

Why they chose this property

Although I loved the beauty and the people of Maine, the climate was nasty. Anyone who can survive winter there deserves a medal. I moved here for the temperate weather and discovered I'd found my tribe. The artists and healers here are creative and nurturing. Once I moved here, I fell in love with the land, the cactus flowers, the rolling hills, and the sun.

The neighbors have ponies and peacocks who have visited occasionally. Apaches used to live on this land, and I have found some of their trading stones on the ground.

I love the proximity to town and country, and the great views.

What makes this property unique

The man who sold us our house was a naturalist. He took us on a walk and pointed out wildlife footprints along the trails. There are mountain views from every window.

You can hike straight out of the house for hours and never see a soul. But the neighbors are friendly if you do happen to run into them.

The long driveway goes uphill, so you have great views by the time you get to the house.

The flag-lined front porch is a great place to hang out, have a meal and enjoy nature.
