Property worked out very well for what we needed during our 6 night stay. The main house kitchen was well stocked, showers were hot and the adjacent casita was perfect for additional guests. Thank-you Susan we appreciated everything.

Remote getaway
This was the perfect location for our hiking adventures. It was a quiet and cozy stay. We appreciated the all the accommodations the host provided. A sign at the driveway entrance confirming we were at the right place, toiletries in case you forgot your own. She greeted us and provided history and information about the area and answered any questions we had. She was very prompt to respond during our stay. We look forward to returning for another visit.

Ms Susans place is a one of a kind. It’s filled with history and old artifacts. She is one of the nicest, most generous ladies i have ever met. My expectations for my stay were exceeded. I can’t recommend staying at Ms Susan’s place enough. She will greet you at the door with fresh farm eggs and hospitality. You just can’t beat it!

Awesome location & awesome host. Loved waking up to the rooster and the very quiet location. We wanted a quiet getaway for a short stay. Would love to return one day to do more outdoor exploring.

Peaceful getaway in vast country
Wonderful vacation but seemed too short!!! We had a wonderful time visiting Mule Creek and staying at this cabin. The house was well equipped and quite comfortable. Supplies were plentiful too. We spoke with Susan soon after our arrival and she greeted us with a delicious home-made lemon pound cake…….Yummmmmm!!! She also provided us with fresh eggs from her chickens. What a great host!!! Susan is so knowledgeable about the local geology and local attractions. She has a ranch next to the rental with cattle and alpacas that totally kept our boxer (dog) interested in our visit. We also loved that a herd of elk visited the area a couple of mornings. Stargazing was phenomenal. We hiked the Catwalk trail, the Mineral Creek trail, the Maverick Hill trail (next door in Arizona), the San Francisco Hot Springs trail and finally we drove to the ghost town of Mogollon for a short visit. We also did some rockhounding in the area near the New Mexico/Arizona border. This is definitely a place we would highly recommend!

Restful stay
Susie is a fantastic hostess. She showed us around the property and explained the history of area thoroughly. She gave us ideas for day trips as well. If you want out of the way solitude to enjoys the outdoors this is the place to be. The house was very well equiped and the beds comfortable.

Serene, solitude, and beautiful
It was a very peaceful week of stay away from busy city life. The house is clean and comfortable, the setup is very peaceful. It is close to Apache and Gila National forests, which makes hiking very convenient. The host Susan was extremely helpful, she waited at the entrance of the road on the night of arrival just to make sure we didn't miss the turn.

Remote with all the comforts of home.
This cute house in the country is unassuming on the outside but very well appointed and decorated on the inside. The kitchen is fully equipped and the pantry had a wide variety of items, but bring your own food, the nearest 'big' grocery store is about an hour away. The king bed is super comfortable. The property is spacious with plenty of peace and quiet. The host was awesome, friendly and communicated well. Wifi signal was plenty strong for everything we needed, though we didn't try to stream a movie, all other aspects worked well. We spent almost a week here and we never ran out of things to keep us busy, next time maybe well stay two weeks!
