Great location in the quiet community of Lake Roberts. Walking distance from Lake Roberts General Store. Keep in mind that the General Store is limited as to what they stock. You can count on candy, snacks, soda, and beer. :-) Lake Roberts is just over the hill for phenomenal Bass and Trout fishing, kayaking, or canoeing.
This is a central location to what the Gila has to offer. Close to Lake Roberts, 20 minutes to Gila Hot Springs; 25-30 minutes to the Gila Cliff Dwellings. Close by trails to hike and ride are far too many to list!
In addition to your room/suite, all guests have shared access to the lit social pavilion for grilling and "hanging out" as well as the Fire Pit circle during non-wildfire season.
Comfortable suite at the Lake Roberts Motel will give you easy access to hiking in the Gila National Forest and Wilderness; fishing at Lake Roberts; soaking at the Gila Hot Springs; or exploring the Gila Cliff Dwellings. Our grilling/social pavilion offers a nice space to meet with friends, or cuddle with you partner on the sectional sofas around one of the fire pits for a romantic evening.
This suite offers an apartment-sized kitchen with a small gas stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, sink, dishes, pots/pans, utensils (cooking & eating). The dining table seats 4 comfortably.
Sleeping arrangements include a King bed and a Full futon.
The nearest large airports are El Paso TX (3-hour drive) and Tucson AZ (4-hour drive). However, there is a small airline (AdvancedAirlines.com) that flies into Grant County Airport in Silver City from Phoenix, Albuquerque, and Los Angeles at a very reasonable rate. Rental Cars are available at the Grant County Airport through Silver Car Rental at 575-574-2350 (must reserve in advance).
Grant County Airport is about 1 hour from the Lake Roberts Motel.
The motel is located on "The Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway". If coming from Silver City, you'll take Highway 15 to Highway 35. If coming from Mimbres, you'll come in on Highway 35 passing Lake Roberts to arrive at the motel.
Please take note that this is a fairly remote location. You will need to bring food, as the nearest grocery store is almost an hour drive (Silver City). The closest restaurant is about 20 minutes away (The Log Cabin).
Cell service: There is NO cell service at the motel without logging into the WiFi. So make sure you print out instructions including the WiFi information and door code. You can connect to the motel WiFi from the parking lot if necessary. There is a T-mobile tower a few miles west of the motel and T-mobile phones can get service about 2 miles west on Hwy 35.
Summer Heat: At this time there is no A/C in the rooms. We've been on the waiting list for 2 years for a power upgrade so we can add A/C. The entire area must be upgraded first (the transformers, poles, and wires). In the meantime, we do supply fans and most of the time our mountain nights are cool enough to draw that air into the rooms. If you tend to be a hot sleeper, you may want to visit in the spring, fall, or winter. Our hottest time is generally June until the monsoons hit in July.
Inclement winter weather: please note that Highway 15 and Highway 35 are not plowed on weekends and evenings. It is rare that we get enough snow to block roads, but we are in the mountains and it can happen. Please watch the forecast for Lake Roberts, NM leading up to your stay.
