About this cottage rental
Do you need to get out of town and get-away from it all (job, phones, noise, traffic, people), but camping just isn't your thing?
Our 600 square foot casita is just an hour southwest of Roswell, New Mexico. We can promise you little to no traffic (maybe 4 or 5 cars a day…if you're lucky), no cell phone service (unless you walk up to the top of the hill or have wifi calling on your phone), wifi available nearby. There is an abundance of wide open spaces to hike or bicycle (horseback riding is available at $50.00 an hour/per person with a 2 hour minimum, by appointment only with Kim), loads of peace and quiet, and an occasional visit from the local wild life. Feast your eyes on the cattle and sheep grazing on the distant hillsides and savor the beautiful New Mexico skies that spread like a canopy over it all. The nights are spectacular as a blanket of stars unfolds, unhindered by intruding lights.
The warm and welcoming casita has a fully equipped kitchen plus a barbecue grill (charcoal or gas). Feeling adventurous? There's a campfire cooking area where you can grill a cowboy sized steak or toast a marshmallow! Just don't forget your food…it's a long drive to the grocery store (steaks or other available cuts of 'Chesser natural' beef or lamb are available for purchase upon availability)!
After a long day, the comfy queen-sized bed beckons and promises a restful nights sleep. The loft area has two twin beds, and the sofa turns into a queen sized bed to accommodate more guests. The casita has a full bath and a washer and dryer to meet your needs. Relax on the covered porch and enjoy the outdoor picnic table.
Chesser Ranch's Casita Retreat is the perfect couples or family retreat. Give us a call and reserve the casita for some well deserved time away!

If you want to experience the hinterlands of New Mexico, this is the place for you. Well-off the beaten path, it's in the middle of the Chesser Ranch, a beautiful, quiet place literally miles and miles away from civilization. Directions to the ranch included an 8-mile, 20mph stone-road in (from the Roswell direction) and a 19-mile 20mph stone road out (south to US70 toward Alamogordo) for us. The route out took us through a number of ranches and over cattle guards and the wildlife and views were incredible. The only word of caution: if you have a low-slung sports car this route may be difficult. Chesser Ranch is a working ranch with horses and goats and a some cattle, but don't let that dissuade you. If you want to get back to nature this is the place. The moonlight night gave way to more stars that we thought possible. A roaring campfire complimented the experience. Kim/Patricia provided precise directions (we advise you follow them as GPS is spotty). The Casita is off to the side of the compound and is absolutely perfect with a well-stocked (kitchen, bath, etc), and inviting. Spoke at length to Kim a couple of times and he's a true rancher, kind, informative and gave us a lot of local flavor/history. 10/10 would stay here again! Thanks Chesser's!

This property is a dream! We had the best view of the stars, cooked over the fire. We wished we could stay longer and very highly recommend it!
