Lake Roberts Motel offers a soul-restoring escape to the magical Gila National Forest and Wilderness.

This little motel is a sweet little stay with only seven units total, located in close proximity to Lake Roberts.
Please take note that this is a fairly remote location. You will need to bring food, as the nearest grocery store is almost an hour drive (Silver City). The closest restaurant is about 20 minutes away (The Log Cabin).
Cell service: There is NO cell service at the motel without logging into the WiFi. So make sure you print out instructions including the WiFi information and door code. You can connect to the motel WiFi from the parking lot if necessary. There is a T-mobile tower a few miles west of the motel and T-mobile phones can get service about 2 miles west on Hwy 35.
Inclement winter weather: please note that Highway 15 and Highway 35 are not plowed on weekends and evenings. It is rare that we get enough snow to block roads, but we are in the mountains and it can certainly happen. This year we have had an unusually heavy monsoon season causing flooding in the are, which often means a snowier winter. Please watch the forecast for Lake Roberts, NM leading up to your stay.
We give our guests full privacy, but are available if needed via messaging . We do have a caretaker on the premises who can also help with any issues. Please let us know if there is anything you need or if something on the property needs our attention.
