They put a box of delicious apples on the porch so that people can enjoy them while watching the hummingbirds. They get an extraordinary number of rare species of birds here due to their pristine location and variety of habitats. They often host groups here, due to their proximity to the Southwestern Center for Research, which is just minutes up the road. The gift shop is impressive, although they don't take American Express.

It's way out in the middle of nowhere, no cell service, no tv, limited wifi, yet we never missed a thing. There was so much to do & see nearby just wandering the area. The property itself is a treasure trove of wildlife & amazing birding. The canyon is just a short drive down the road with hiking, nature trails & more wildlife. The best place to eat is the Portal Cafe, about 5-10mins away. We seriously cant wait to come back!

Grabbed a Kleenex tried rubbing it off but it was dried hard. Also upon checking in, Found part of a tortilla chip by the bathroom tub and Cotton swab under the sink on the floor with something on it. Please take note of the price increase of over $150 (You are paying for a swimming pool that is no longer there, and no more gym either, which is completely unfair) I strongly suggest considering other options before Staying here. Price goes up and quality goes down-- go figure.

I've stayed at the Chiricahua Mountain Lodge a couple of times during my visit to this beautiful…read morepart of Arizona. The facilities are comfortable, clean, and modern. The setup is lodge-style, meaning that most of the rooms have several beds around the interior perimeter with a central gathering area a separate kitchen, separate bathrooms and at least one semi-private room. The lodge rooms are rented by the room. Not by the person, meaning that big parties receive tremendous value for the dollar. I'm a big fan! This is a huge improvement to the existing lodging facilities here in far western New Mexico.

That makes a big difference in this region, because there are only a few food options. The owners are wonderful and accommodating as well.

My husband and I felt this was on par with the Living Desert in Palm Desert, CA, only smaller, and yet also more diverse. A nice place!

I was surprised at the size of my room; it was much larger than I'd expected! The coffee is spectacular here, also.

Huevos rancheros from their brunch menu, trout perfectly cooked and a Greek salad with fresh greens at dinner. Authentic latte from their Italian espresso machine. Friendly servers who check back often and bring extra salsa on request and who had no problem loaning us two of their mugs to use in our room for morning coffee. When we expressed our appreciation of the musical selections playing on their sound system, the owner explained that it was a random mix of "stations" selected by various employees over the last 16 years! This was our second visit while on a road trip in two successive years. Will we be back again? What do you think?

This hotel is STUNNING! But...there were a couple of issues, so I'll get those out of the way:…read more Parking is very secure, but limited to 4-5 spaces in the courtyard. You could find yourself trapped by another guest's car if you plan to leave before 7 am. We had no problem. No ice machine nor vending machine. Bring a cooler with ice. The owners would have probably pulled ice from their restaurant, but we didn't ask. The hotel restaurant serves excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner, but they're closed on Sundays. That's it for the cons. The hotel is lush and beautiful, as was our room, which was BIG! Our second floor room had beautiful art, linens and great toiletries. The wifi is free and may be the best we've experienced in the US and Mexico. We were shocked when we saw our room. The owners obviously put a great deal of thought into the ambience of the entire place. The location is walking distance, one block from a small indoor mall, about 40 stores. The anchor store is called LEY. The store is similar to a Super Target, with food, furniture, some appliances, etc. It has everything! Almost everything you need is at this store. They close at 10 pm. The employees are extremely helpful, but some speak Spanish only. In conclusion, we would stay there again. This is a really beautiful hotel.

When I reported it, the front desk person said there's nothing they could do. They didn't offer any solutions.  The queen suite had a weird smell throughout my stay. Almost like a moldy smell. Everyday I also smelled cigarettes coming through to my room.  Front desk service was very slow. The pillows were VERY uncomfortable. The remote in the room was damaged and didn't work.  Over all I don't think the workers care about their customers. I wouldn't stay here again.

The staircase and stained glass are not to be missed. When you stand in the lobby look around you, you feel transported to another era. The rooms are much improved and comfortable, though the bathrooms are small by modern standards. Be patient for the hot water. The restaurant was great for dinner - see photos of our meals below. We started with cocktails in the bar and the bartender really does a great job. The service here was flawless - everyone was super helpful and pleasant. One thing: there is no place for breakfast here. We bought muffins the night before and made do with the Keurig coffee maker. Our destination early the next morning was Whitewater draw for the cranes - its about a 30 minute drive from the hotel.
