About this property
Middle of town lodge style cottage
The Swan St Cottage is a quaint but cozy lodge style place located exactly in the middle of Silver City. It was our first home for our family of 6 for 10+ years and as our girls continue to grow it is updated and cared for by all of us. It took a while before we noticed one of our daughters was leaving her signature (J) on her work. It can be spotted sporadically throughout the property.
What we love…If you are looking to be in the Gila wilderness you can take a drive in various directions and be there in about 30 minutes. We have a fenced in backyard where behaved dogs are welcome with a fee. We are less than a mile from the track, schools and hospital. Even though traffic can be a little busy on weekdays around 8am and around 3pm you can’t hear it in the house or even in the backyard. We have had the same great neighbors for the last 15 years who watch out for each other. We support Local Artists who display and sell their art in the home. We have keyless entry. Yes we have WiFi. We have smart TV’s that guests can log into any streaming network they subscribe to. There is a full size washer and dryer, fully equipped kitchen. Even towels designated for your out door adventures to the rivers and and lakes. We have a planet marking on the sidewalk by our front yard from the planet walk that many who pass by stop to read the plaque.
What we don’t like… I want to be upfront & clear...the neighborhood doesn’t look glamorous. Houses are close together and Swan Street is one of the busiest streets in town because we are close to the hospital, schools, and track. It is about 1 mile from downtown, however walking along and crossing highway 180 can be stressful. Especially with little ones and pets. There are some places the sidewalk disappears along the way.
If you are looking to be exactly in the center of silver city on a map, then this is the place to be. If you are looking to be in downtown, or in a remote location in the Gila National Forest, we recommend searching for a place closer to your preference.

About the host
Hosted by Chrystal Valles
A working mother of 4 girls currently going back to school for my masters in counseling. We love the outdoors, yummy food, animals and being creative. We like to create things out of old stuff like metal and wood. Our family is loud, and crazy, and fun.
Why they chose this property
This house has been called "the cottage" by the last two owners we knew of dating back to the early 1900's. It reminds us of the children's story "The Little House." Where all the buildings and surroundings changed all around it, but it still stayed the same. It was moved from Santa Rita, NM when the mine started. Most of the Rocks on the wall were harvested from Grant County. There is one small rock that traveled from Nigeria, Africa. Our family of 6 enjoyed this home and we hope you enjoy it too.
What makes this property unique
This house is located exactly in the middle of Silver City. We have great well established neighbors that watch out for each other.
