We enjoyed our stay at the Art House. The location is central to in and out of town activities. The house is both comfortable and well equipped. The house is not accessible, the entry being down several steps with no ramp available. Inside there are several changes of level between rooms. Our group was older and found these changes required extra attention to negotiate safely. Overall, a lovely house and host.

House was nice and clean but hot we arrived. Air Con is a window unit on in the living room and dining room. Bedroom was hot at 104 degrees at Silver.
Bedrooms only has fans. Beds and pillows was comfy. I would recommend to replace the tiny,dirty and rusted toaster. Really did not want to use it. Guest pays good hard earned money to see that type of equipment is disappointing especially it only cost $10 and can be used for years to come.
Listing stated a short walk to downtown, maybe for younger generations but not to mid sixties and seventies folks.
Overall , nice comfy home with good size outdoors.

We enjoyed our stay here. We went to my nephew's wedding. I told everyone there about the unique art.

We like to get out of Tucson/PHX and see Silver City, especially the art. This property is in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance of downtown. Four of us had a great time and never got in each other's way over the four day stay. All the amenities were top notch. Parking was a breeze. Beds comfortable. A lot of drivers in SC need a new muffler but that is another story. All in all, great time, great price, very pleased!

Worked perfectly for us! We found it to be very clean, comfortable, well appointed and organized. And, as an added bonus, we found it aesthetically pleasing, both reflecting and adding to the character of Silver City.

The host accurately described the property and it was even more charming and adorable in real life. The inside and out was cute as could be and very well decorated. It was within walking distance from downtown. Very highly recommended for those wishing to explore Silver City.

This property was very nice, and if you’re doing anything involving the WNMU campus, the location is PERFECT…although traffic noise did occasionally get ‘noticed’.
We’d make a couple of suggestions:
Given the property is a ‘No outside shoes’ property, an all weather mat on the inside by the shoe tray would be helpful in keeping that part of the floor clean.
The steps leading to the door from the street are STEEP…and might be a problem for some visitors. Maybe a note on the listing would be helpful.
Again…overall we enjoyed our stay here and have already recommended it to our parents.

This cute house was perfect for our stay. Someone has clearly put thought into this! Loved this property, the artwork, the layout, and the location.

The items in the house were organized and / or labeled. The house was charming and comfortable. Loved the artwork inside and out. The bedrooms only receive indirect AC, but we were comfortable each night in late July. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Art House very much. There are lots of windows and lots of light, creating a spacious feeling. The rooms were clean, the beds were extremely comfortable, the arrangement of furnishings created a welcoming feeling, and lots of printed labels helped us find what we needed. Kitchen was well appointed with supplies. Yes, it's located on a busy street, but we were not at all bothered by excessive noise. The beautifully-maintained landscaping around the house added privacy and coziness, and the artwork inside and out added a delightful touch of whimsey. We have family in Silver City who we visit from time to time, and we'd love to stay at the Art House again.

This place is great for the location, and to be still at the same time. Your very close to the magical Gila, which gives you peace.

Reminded me of staying with a college friend that was an art major who inherited her grandmother’s cabin – artsy and comfortable but dated. Light fixtures missing replacement bulbs, a bathroom sink without a stopper – in need of some minor upgrades. Near the college – it wasn’t “party noisy” but was “college noisy” – random loud music, loud conversations that sounded like you were staying next to college students and not families with kids or retirees. Not a bad spot but not a 5.

The property and house were in good shape, all the necessary kitchen utensils and necessary items in the kitchen were well done and in good shape. The bedroom and bathrooms were very comfortable. While there was a little heat during the stay, and we were comfortable with a little air conditioning day and night.

This is a really cute property & great location close to town. I feel like there needs to be deadbolts inside the house on all exterior doors. Someone was banging on the main door( iron door) one evening after midnight and scared us. We had attempted multiple times to lock the outer iron door but the deadbolt didn’t work.
8.0
The good: excellent communication; extremely clean; great bedding and towels; strong internet; unique decor; no road noise at night (as stated); reasonably well equipped kitchen; good information provided about both the area and the rental.
The could-be-better: the listing should indicate the steep, narrow staircase required for entering the house; the listing should indicate that the interior of the house requires a step (or two) in three different locations between rooms; the listing should indicate that the twin-bed room lacks easy access to a bathroom (one being en suite the larger bedroom, the other being two rooms away); the listing should indicate that the master bedroom only receives indirect air conditioning requiring that the doors be open for ventilation; the oven should be checked for proper operation (took a long time to preheat and didn't seem to maintain the proper temperature).
Were we generally pleased with our stay, overall? Yes. Would we recommend the house to a friend? Yes, but we would make sure the friend was properly informed about the property's limitations. Would we stay here again? Probably, now that we know.

Our family traveled to track down some family roots, celebrate a birthday, and experience Silver City. We wanted a place in historic Silver City and were happy with this home. Everything from the art on the walls to the cloth napkins made us feel welcome.

The hosts' forethought and hospitality were evident: from the way the rooms were arranged, to the overall cleanliness, to all the neatly printed labels so we could find anything we needed, we felt very welcomed and comfortable.

Big Bug
It was very disturbing to discover a big, black, cockroach like bug
in the bathroom off the mater bedroom upon arrival. Kept looking for more of them during the entire stay, but, fortunately, did not discover any more.

Nice house
This is a comfortable house with nice beds and living areas. It's not really walking distance to downtown, however. Otherwise, it met all our needs/expectations.

Nice, clean, and fun house.
It's a crazy little old house, but really cute. Everything was clean and the hosts were great. I recommend!

The inside was really nice, but the outside was unusable, Too many weeds. I expected it to be really close to downtown as that is the way it was hyped. It was over a mile away. We had a good time anyway.

Nice place
Close to downtown, but far enough away to have only local neighbors hustle and bustle. It was very nice to have a great kitchen to prepare food, a real dining room and a nice living room.
The recent rains have given the area a jungle like feel which was appreciated. and quite quiet at night despite the highway next door. We really enjoyed this place tremendously and would stay there again.

college Art House
This little house was great. Celebrated our 43rd anniversary with my sister and her husband. House was close to university, and downtown Silver City, and grocery store. Clean with all we needed to cook with. Worth staying at again. Small inconvenience was that the yard was overgrown. Could be because of all the rain but we were not able to use outdoor table because of all the over growth.
6.0
Inside the Art House was great. The outside was a mess; the yard and courtyard were overgrown, and the outside furniture were not useable while we were there. The writeup should have stated that there were steps throughout the house. Some people might not be able to maneuver steps. The steep concrete steps down to the house should have been mentioned in the advertisement of the house. The directions to the Art House were fine until you turn left on Georgia St. (the directions state, you take a right on Gordon St. (which is a narrow step dirt alley)). It should state go to the end of Georgia St. and turn right on 13th Street and then turn right at the next street, Alabama St., go to the end of the street and the house on your right 613 is the Art House. The listing says under “what the place offers” FREE PARKING ON PREMISES, but there was none. Also, Breakfast is provided. This was a package of instant oatmeal and coffee. Upon departure, we were told to place used linin and bedding in the hamper and take the trash to the trash bins locater on the street curb. We never had to do this anywhere we have ever stayed.

Lovely Home
This was one of the better VRBO properties that my family has stayed in. It is as cute in person as the pictures. The kitchen has plenty of cookware and utensils. If you enjoy cooking, you will be pleasantly surprised with kitchen. The bath towels were nice and plentiful. The art work was a joy to look at. I enjoyed staying in the house as much as I enjoyed exploring Silver City and the Gila mountains. I already want to go back.

Excellent place to stay in Silver City
This lovely cottage captures the artistic and cultural feel of Silver City. The owner and manager have added thoughtful touches to enhance your stay. There is fine artwork on the walls, a selection of games, coffee in the kitchen, etc.
One aspect over which they have little control is that there is traffic noise from the nearby highway. It didn't bother me, but one of our party was distressed.

Great location!
This home was perfect! From the location, to the size, to how clean it was. Thank you for a great stay!
