Neat and rather spacious place to stay in Silver City

This is a great spot with lots of amenities. Great privacy with indoor and outdoor sitting spaces. Plenty of space to sprawl for a small city like Silver. Thanks for hosting us!

Terrific location and comfort.

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.

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.

Great time

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!

So much space! Yet still cozy

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.

Cute, quaint & cozy.

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.

I am a geologist who has lived and worked in many beautiful locations in the west over the last 20 years. Silver City is one location that I keep returning to as it still has remnants of true wild west culture, diverse wildlife, and expansive hiking and wilderness space. I hope you enjoy your stay at my little oasis, College District Art House.
