Welcome to Valley Vista Getaway in southwestern New Mexico.  Perfect for astronomers to view or photograph the night skies, for birdwatchers and hikers to base out of when visiting Cave Creek Canyon, for digital nomads to work remotely, for rock hounds to base from and for those just needing to get away.  

 We are located only 12 miles from both Rodeo and Animas, New Mexico and 15 miles from Portal, Arizona.  Our property overlooks the San Simon Valley.  The sweeping views of the Chiricahua Mountains on the Arizona and New Mexico border, as well as the Peloncillo Mountains in New Mexico are beautiful!

Valley Vista Getaway is located on 9.5 acres of desert habitat.   The property has a single level vacation tiny home, a private roll-off roof observatory for guests to set-up their own telescope to view the Bortle 1 night skies and a full hook-up RV site.  


Enjoy walking through our cactus garden or watching the birds visiting our bird feeding station.  Occasionally you might be able to catch a glimpse of or hear a coyote, see desert cottontail rabbits, deer, ground squirrels, horny toad lizards or possibly a bobcat.

This adorable tiny home is bright, cozy and can sleep 2 comfortably.  It has one bedroom with a queen bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a porch to relax on to watch the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, a Smart TV with Roku, laundry facilities and WiFi internet.


Once you stay here once, you will be eager to return again and again.  Valley Vista Getaway will be your home away from home.

What our guests say

Hello!  We are John and Cathy Adler.  We came to southwestern New Mexico a couple of years ago for the dark skies and ended up liking the area.  When this tiny house came up for sale, we bought it to winter here and to share it with others looking for dark skies or other outdoor opportunities in the area.

For the past six years after retiring, we have been living full-time in our motor home traveling around the country.  Prior to retiring we owned a campground in the Black Hills of South Dakota for six years.  And prior to that John worked as an engineer for the State Of South Dakota Department of Transportation.  Before the campground, Cathy worked as the executive director of the local United Way.

We hope you get some awesome photos of the night sky, get the chance to see a bird you've never seen before or maybe have a great hike.  Oh, and take some time to relax and enjoy the views plus the peace and quiet here.
