We are a dark area- no street lights -so it is easier if visitors arrive before dark to set up. Our neighbors do have friendly dogs that sometimes wander off their property so be aware. Wildlife is common because we are only a block from the Mimbres River. For your safety, stay alert. Have lunch or dinner on the porch and enjoy our lovely porch.

Park on either side of the Harvest Host sign in the parking lot. If you are self-sufficient, you can park almost anywhere in the lot but don't block the garage area. Thank you.
