This hard-to-find idyllic opportunity is provided by six new and airy cabins located in the once booming silver mining town of Georgetown.  In its heyday, the town boasted 1,200 residents, churches, an opera house, and even a roller rink.  But when the last resident left in 1903, the only activity has been the occasional funeral service at Georgetown’s colorful cemetery.  That is, until Susie and Jon Eickhoff came to town, or what was left of it.

The Eickhoffs had grown tired of sunless winter days in their native Michigan and vowed to find a better climate.  After nearly a decade of searching, they purchased ten hillside acres comprising one of the town’s original mining claims, and began construction on what they call the Georgetown Cabins; each differently designed and intended to provide privacy and personal mountain views.  One cabin is equipped for handicapped guests.  All were built with the concept of creating a green community.

Despite its apparent isolation, the Georgetown Cabins are just five miles from paved state highway 152 and 13 more miles to the thriving art and university community of Silver City.

Repeat visitors who have stayed up to a month confirm the Eickhoff’s simple concept of privacy amidst natural beauty was a sound one.  To enhance the experience, it’s required that guests book for a minimum of two nights.
