We were visiting Silver City to watch our niece play softball at WNMU. Nice and quiet, and oh so charming. Host was kind and helpful and had two of the sweetest dogs to welcomes us. Very comfortable stay and the views were beautiful. We will definitely visit again.

We loved everything about our stay. Our host was wonderful, communicative, helpful, and kind. Her dogs are a treat. The rooms were awesome and inviting.

This is a charming, serene place; very clean; close to town; our only complaint is that we were only staying one night and wishing we could stay 1 or 2 more just to enjoy and decompress! added plus: 2 very friendly adorable dogs! Azaima was a very gracious host - thank you Azaima! we plan to return!

For us, the porch and the back sun room were perfect for taking in the views. Both were so relaxing at different times of the day. There was a nature trail and lots of birds to enjoy along the walk. The dogs were an added bonus and the host was most gracious. Loved the personal touches, the amenities in the kitchen and the overall feel of the place. We will be returning!

It is quiet if your looking to get away from the big city.

My only complaint is that there is no a/c and even though it cools down at night it was still a little warm for me. Everything else was great.

So tranquil we didn't want to leave

The directions were thorough so we found the place easily. Once we got there we saw 2 deer on the property. The check in was easy and the 2 dogs were so adorable. The entire time we loved staying on the porch swing and rocking chairs. The hot tub was my personal favorite and easy to use. It was perfectly peaceful so much so that we waited until the very last second for check out. I would most definitely recommend.

Goldilocks property !

Not too far from town, not too close to town Not too small, not too big Everything just right. Goldilocks Very accessible and convivial hostess, with very friendly dogs. Baleful Blue (my nickname for Blue) will steal your heart. And your shoes, if given the chance. When and if we make it back to Sliver City this place will be on the top of our list.

Beautiful and relaxing

I had the best stay here. The property and home were beautiful and clean. The host was friendly, welcoming and made sure I was comfortable. The hot tub and front porch were unexpected delights as were the hosts two dogs. I could have sat on the porch for hours watching the hummingbirds and relaxing. If you’re looking for peace, quiet and nature, this is definitely the place to stay. I can’t wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Azaima Anderson

Host profile image
I grew up in Chicago, went to school on the East Coast, and did corporate work in big cities until I discovered the country. Moved to Maine and changed my focus to music and healing work.

I'm interested in helping people get out of their own way so they can make the difference they want to see in themselves and the world.

I've released four CDs. Three of them have original songs. My songwriting is lyric-driven, and the music serves the lyric rather than being restricted to a particular style. Some are folk, others pop, jazz, rock and blues.

Most recently, I've composed a CD of meditative prosperity chants in the Sufi tradition.

My healing work includes astrology, yoga, shamanic work, and a technique I created called Heart Lightning, which quickly removes mental and emotional blocks in as little as one session.

I'm an interfaith minister, and have married people on this property.

I live with a couple of dogs who entertain me so completely that I don't watch TV. (But guest rooms have a TV).

Why they chose this property

Although I loved the beauty and the people of Maine, the climate was nasty. Anyone who can survive winter there deserves a medal. I moved here for the temperate weather and discovered I'd found my tribe. The artists and healers here are creative and nurturing. Once I moved here, I fell in love with the land, the cactus flowers, the rolling hills, and the sun.

The neighbors have ponies and peacocks who have visited occasionally. Apaches used to live on this land, and I have found some of their trading stones on the ground.

I love the proximity to town and country, and the great views.

What makes this property unique

The man who sold us our house was a naturalist. He took us on a walk and pointed out wildlife footprints along the trails. There are mountain views from every window.

You can hike straight out of the house for hours and never see a soul. But the neighbors are friendly if you do happen to run into them.

The long driveway goes uphill, so you have great views by the time you get to the house.

The flag-lined front porch is a great place to hang out, have a meal and enjoy nature.
