and “Listen to the Silence of Nature.”

Walnut Creek Cottages sit nestled at 6,500 feet above sea level, surrounded by the Tall Pines of the Gila National Forest but just 9.3 miles from Silver City.

We have been feeding our birds for 17 years, so the population is overwhelming. Our hummingbird feeders are so busy that many of our guests spend time just trying to count them.

We only have two suites - so we never suffer from heavy traffic, only the deer that come in to drink out of the bird watering trays. Our suites are fully furnished with everything you need for a relaxing get-a-way. Each unit has its own parking and deck with a gas grill and glass-topped patio table.

The full size kitchen has all cooking, serving ware, microwave, toaster and coffee pot. We furnish coffee, sugar and cream. Each unit has satellite TV, books and board games. You bring your food and drinks. We furnish everything else you will need for a relaxing time that you won't forget.

After Don or Delores check you in, they leave you alone - unless you need them. They live a short distance away and are always there to answer questions about hiking (great hiking trails), biking, birding or anything else you might have questions about.

Hope to see you soon!
Don and Delores

The Catwalk

The Catwalk The Catwalk National Scenic Trail offers a fascinating glimpse into the geologic and historic foundations of Grant County. The result of cataclysmic volcanic actions, the area now offers a beautiful picnic spot next to Whitewater Creek, a challenging one-mile trail along the historic 1890’s mining waterway, and a sense of place that creates images of an earlier time.
