Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
A perfect place to relax, recharge and reconnect. The Cabin is tucked away on an animal rescue sanctuary.There are ponds, shade trees, an orchard and flowering plants. The night sky is very dark, the water is sweet, WiFi is fast, a Verizon tower is close, the Cosmic Campground is up the road a bit & the Catwalk Recreational Trail is 4.5 miles from here. Indulge in the quiet, walk the Labyrinth, lounge in a hammock, visit the animals. Galleries, Art, Curiosities, Shrines & Sculptures are abundant

The space
Located just 4.5 miles from the Catwalk Recreational Trail.
The studio floor plan in the Cabin, houses an ornate four-poster queen bed, shower, commode, sink, a free-standing closet, laptop-friendly expandable table, chairs, an eclectic library (including many regional books), reading lights, ceiling fan, seasonal air conditioner and heater. Comforter, heated mattress cover, bath products, snacks, coffee and coffee makers are included.

This enchantingly rustic and historic Cabin was once a bunkhouse. Legend has it that "Billy The Kid" slept here. (After all, his stepdad William Antrim owned the house next door.) After much work and care, the Cabin is a medley of visual delights; every detail (indoors and outdoors) is the art and passion of your host.

I am happy to give a tour of my property; all you need to do is ask. It will include a visit to Suzy’s Shrine-the Guinness World Record Holder: Oldest Donkey Ever! You will meet the resident animals: Beatrice the gorgeous Goose, a mini donkey, the giant Koi fish, 2 mini horses, an ancient 44 year old horse named Hush and more.

The Cabin is only 12 miles from the First Dark Sky Sanctuary (Cosmic Campground) and 4.5 miles from the Catwalk National Recreational Trail.

This is an animal lover's paradise with the chickens and goose walking around during the day and in their coop at night. The cat will roll onto her back for a scratch and little Ava and her sidekick Zsa Zsa will steal your heart. Cows and horses are generally in the field next to the Cabin.
My horses and donkeys are out of their pens most of time during daylight.

Neighborhood highlights

LOCATION:
We are surrounded by New Mexico's Gila National Forest, and very close to the Aldo Leopold Wilderness area which was the first to be established in the United States.

Glenwood boasts hot springs, labyrinths, canyons, mountains, galleries and ghost towns. This is the perfect place for relaxing, sightseeing, fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, birding and gazing at the starry night sky.

The San Francisco River runs through our valley from the north; Whitewater and Mineral Creeks cascade from the east; the spectacular Mogollon Mountain Range outlines the sky.

The stunning and diverse landscape of the surrounding area covers four of the six life zones and we enjoy 4 gentle seasons. This is a bird watchers paradise; from bald and golden eagles to resident great blue herons and black hawks, migrating cranes and ducks to six different species of hummingbirds.

Our piece of heaven is home to the Cosmic Campground: which has the distinction of being named the first Dark Sky Sanctuary in the World:

This area is rich in history from the pre-historic Mimbreno Culture; famous Apache Chiefs: Mangas Colorado, Victorio, and Geronimo; Mining camps, ghost towns; the "Wild Bunch", Butch Cassidy, Billy the Kid, William Antrim; the first motorized "Air Ship" to fly in New Mexico and conservationist Aldo Leopold.

Glenwood is known for the Catwalk Recreation Area, which is 4 miles up the canyon from the Cozy Cabin.


THE CATWALK:
Whitewater Canyon, site of the famous Catwalk, was a central point in the mining history of this area. The town called both Graham and Whitewater grew up around a mill built by John T. Graham in 1893. All that remains to mark the spot is part of the mill walls still clinging to the west side of the canyon near the entrance to The Catwalk. The mines above the canyon were worked from their discovery in 1889 until 1942 (Billy the Kid's stepfather, William Antrim, was a blacksmith at Graham).

The Helen Mining Company was first to develop 13 claims about 4 miles upstream from the mill which could not be built closer to the mines because of the rough, narrow canyon. A 3 mile long, 4" metal pipeline provided a continuous water supply to the town and its electric generator. Although a larger 18" pipeline was built in 1897 to run a big, new generator, the present day Catwalk follows the route of the original line.

Pipe used in the water line was delivered to the site on wagons drawn by teams of up to 40 horses. Ore was pulled down the mountain to an ore chute on the ridge just above the mill by smaller teams.

Brace holes were drilled into the solid rock walls, sometimes 20 feet above the canyon floor, to hold the timbers and iron bars that supported the smaller water line along its meandering course.

The massive rock walls of Whitewater Canyon saw few visitors until the Civilian Conservation Corps. was assigned the task of rebuilding The Catwalk as a recreation attraction for the Gila National Forest.

Born in the 40s
Where I went to school: Alfred University, College of Ceramics
I am a working artist of many mediums; ceramics, copper, painting, collage, et al and proprietor of Behr Art B&B. Alongside this work, I design spaces and events, host workshops, markets, annual festivals, officiate weddings, and make my ever-morphing property available for others to share and enjoy. To that, I've spent nearly every day designing, decorating, reconstructing, reconfiguring and reworking this historic property, farm and gardens. The structures I've built and designed that are available for your retreat include the Cozy Cabin, The Carrot Cottage, the Luscious Lotus, the Pond Hut and the Hummingbird Haven. The Cabin was once a bunkhouse. The previous owners moved it (rolled it on logs) to its present location. In doing so, the floor joists needed to be reattached and a foundation was constructed to stabilize the building. My brother and I cut, fitted, mudded, tied, nailed, plumbed, electrified and created a marvelous space. My land is a working art studio, organic farm and orchard, with ponds, shade trees, peace, quiet and some of the darkest skies for star gazing in the nation. My backstory: A Connecticut native, I moved to Silver City/Pinos Altos New Mexico in 1970 and then to Glenwood in 1982. For twenty-two of those years, I lived on a ranch with a herd of horses and two donkeys, and my passion was endurance riding. After thousands of training hours, competitive miles, and sponsoring the Scorpion Sting Endurance Ride, I gave it up for the life I now live on this land.
