We both know the good reasons to be visiting the historic Village of Columbus, NM. Right?
Game Hunters, Rockhounders, Cyclists, Military History buffs, Pancho Villa's Gold prospectors, crossing the border for inexpensive services, goods and tours or...Shhh...YOU WANNA SEE THE WALL!
Or maybe, you could use a hidden getaway to
write that novel, regroup, or really hide.
Regardless why you're coming, I'm basically the
"Four Seasons" of Columbus or Deming.
Git On Your Horse And Book Your Bunk!
The space
Boasting of nearly unobstructed sunrise and sunset views, with the city lights of Palomas, Mexico illuminating our southern horizon nightly, the home is centered in the middle of a 1.25 acre lot on the upper northern most outskirt of town called Pershing Heights (named after General "BlackJack" Pershing who led the 1918 military expedition to capture Columbus's most the infamous visitors. Francisco "Poncho" Villa).

You'll have access to the BBQ and adjacent outdoor dining area complete with a giant umbrella to keep you shaded.

The Sunset viewing deck - An outdoor living room complete with firepit as needed in winter.
A walking path around the property (eight times around is a mile!)
During your stay
Your privacy, comfort and solitude are my primary concerns.
I can be "never-present" but always available, OR, I can be your friend, chef, Gin rummy opponent and life coach. I'll take my cues from you.
Other things to note
Hole-in-the-wall-isms:
Breakfast - Included breakfast is a basic non-perishable continental, cereal(s), toast(s), coffee (decaf available), and subject to change.
You're welcome to bring your own food and cook it, or, hire your Host to provide and prepare your meals of choice. He's also your Espresso barista at the Hole's coffee bar.
Pets - Yes AND NO. Because I have two dogs with ZERO fleas and/or ticks I DO NOT ALLOW FAMILY PETS in home. I DO ALLOW Hunting dogs that are caged or kenneled outside the walls.
No Kids - Why? Because the property isn't suited for them. And because I've been there done that!
Tobacco smokers ARE welcome OUTSIDE! (I enjoy a cigar now and then)
420 Smokers welcome anywhere my sista's and brotha's. We're a legal state.
Alcohol permitted (As long as you're not a mean or violent drunk) - If you want to drink liquor while you're here, bring it / buy it before you get here if you can. We do have one liquor store with very limited product, and operating hours.
Refrigerator - A small space will be available for 2 night stays. Extended stays have half.
Food - What's mine is mine, what's yours is yours. If what's mine BECOMES YOURS, you're paying for it. Capish cowboys and cowgirls?
Sense of Humor - A good one will go a long way at the Hole!
