ABOUT YOUR HOST
I am retired educator and move to this gateway community. I travelled the west for 15 years in search of a place. I settled on Silver City, with its vibrant community and outstanding weather. I spend my spare time foraging the wild for my projects. Most of my finds end up in metal work or art piece that smatter the inn. I want you to enjoy my inn, Silver City, and the surrounding area!

Ft. Bayard Trail System
Ft. Bayard was an outpost dating from pre-civil war times. It was constructed on Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache territory. After the United States defeated the Native Americans in this area, the military post became a sanatorium for service men with Tuberculosis and the hot springs on the fort grounds were capped to provide power to the hospital. Remains of the fort and the Apaches still dot the complex and the trail system in place weaves across the acreage through elk preserves and into the Gila National Forest.
Little Walnut Rd. Trail System
Gomez Peak is central to this trail system that weaves around piñon, oak and yes, walnut trees and the peak. The Wagon Wheel trail leads up into the mountains and meets up with the Continental Divide Trail for a great section hike or bike.
Boston Hill Trail System
Silver City had its start in the Central Mining District in the silver mines on Boston Hill. Mining pits and rugged trails make this an ideal biking venue. You can also walk and search the area around the mines for rocks and minerals. When you reach the top you will be rewarded with a spectacular view of the city.
Archaeology & Mimbreños
Mimbreños had clearly established themselves in the area well before the Spanish arrived. They lived a Pueblo life and used black and white designs to finish their pottery. Known traders, they lived among the Apache until their culture declined. Visiting the Gila Cliff Dwelling or the Mimbres Cultural Heritage site will give you a glimpse into their past.

ABOUT
Being “stuck on” the West for 20 years, I finally moved 3000 miles to Silver City New Mexico. Sitting on the edge of 3 million acres of the national forest brings astounding beauty to the area. More importantly, this part of the country is historically young. Living history, anthropology, or natural history are the real adventure and I plan to take you on the journey. If you ever want to connect, I can be reached on Linkedin.
What Our Guests are Saying
Julie was sweet, friendly, and accommodating. She was very flexible with me when I arrived late and left late because my phone failed to switch time zones. Her space was quaint, unique, and very homey. Felt like staying in a cabin owned by an architect lol. 10/10 highly recommend Julie and her home.

Julie's Inn is fantastic - very close to downtown and lovely view of Boston Hill. Julie is a great host and full of tips for exploring the surrounding area. I lived in this space for almost two months and really felt at home. Julie was gracious in allowing my small dog to come with me, and Julie's dog Cody is a big fluffy sweetheart. I would love to come back someday!
