Overview
2 Br, 1 Bath In The Old West
The Casa Javelina is located in Magdalena NM, 6500 ft, gateway to the Cibola and Gila National Forests. It was originally located in Rosedale, a silver mining town in the San Mateo Mountains about 20 miles away from its current location. The house has been renovated but retains its character as a historic house. This is a perfect base to explore the Socorro Valley to the east and the high plains to the west.
2 Bedrooms, 1 bath, fully functional kitchen w/ gas stove and oven, microwave, coffee maker, full size fridge, washer/dryer. Native plant landscaped yard, outdoor table. gas grill. The master bedroom has a queen, the small second bedroom has a full size pull out, and another futon can be pulled out in the living room. Linens, blankets, and pillows for the pull outs are available.
A horse pen big enough for 3 horses adjoins the backyard. Bring your horse! Many fabulous rides are possible in the Magdalena area. A day on horseback in the high plains is sure to make you feel like you are in an old western movie!
An aspen wood swing in the backyard aspen grove is a great place to watch the sunset paint the nearby 10000 ft Magdalena Mountains.
Walk 100 yards to the Golden Spur bar to mingle with local Spanish folks, Navajos from the nearby Alamo Reservation, or ranchers from the country all around.
Day trip to the Bosque Del Apache Wildlife refuge (35 miles) or to the Very Large Array Radio Telescope (15 miles).
Or explore three ghost towns (Kelly, Riley and Rosedale) all located within 30 miles of Magdalena.
Hiking and Mountain Biking opportunities abound around Magdalena. Pick up/ drop off services for day trips can be arranged with the owner.

Very Good!

Quaint, Rustic, Comfortable.
We had a very pleasant weekend stay. Omar was pleasant and helpful and accommodating. The house is very old and charming with lots of character. We were comfortable with 3 there to sleep. We had 6 people during the day to eat and visit. The kitchen is very tiny which made cooking challenging, but it was certainly doable. We only missed a few items like a grater and baking dish. There were extras though like snacks and NM goodies. The weather was beautiful so we mostly ate outside. There's only kitchen seating for 3 inside, but we were very comfortable outside with 6.
If you're looking for a fancy house with 5 star accommodations you'll be disappointed. If you want a rustic and comfortable place with all the necessities you'll be very pleased.
Javelin House
Rustic. was just right for the elk hunt.
Javalina House
The house is old and rustic . Just what you would expect in Magdalena.
simple but quiet .
We had good time in this wooden house.
The location near the mountains is pleasant and the owner is very nice.
I recommend this house for travellers.
Lovely stay at Casa Javelina
I rented Casa Javelina for four days around New Years - and was very happy with my stay. I moved away from the area several years ago and needed a place to rent on my trip that was spacious enough to entertain guests. Casa Javelina worked out very well, and wasn't much more costly than the hotels in Magdalena. Casa Javelina is cozy and charming - with a comfy bed, frig,microwave, coffee maker (and new mexico coffee!) - all the comforts of home - as well as the little kitchen extras I needed for mixing drinks and preparing food. The house is small - but has a great layout and feels spacious - at one point I had ten guests in the house and there was plenty of space and seating for everyone.
The heaters kept the house toasty, the decor is charming and Omar accommodated my request for an additional night with no issues. I'm definitely planning on renting Casa Javelina for my next trip to Magdalena!
Wecoming home in Magdalena New Mexico
If you favor high end decor and surroundings, this place is not for you. However, we enjoyed our visit very much and were well pleased with the simple home and old time town. We planned to come to the VLA and to the Kelly mine (little of it remains). This worked out just fine from this location, and in addition the owner Omar lives next door and was very gracious. Our two dogs had fenced yard and loved the place. Our family consisted of two grandparents, daughter and 8 year old granddaughter. Bring grocery supplies if you come because it would not be convenient to find anything close by.
The description of the home in the listing is accurate, and the property was very clean.
