Mountain Runway Lodge- Stay on the Airstrip

Mountain Runway Lodge is a one of a kind mountain retreat located directly across from the Timberon airstrip in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico. Enjoy peaceful seclusion, fresh pine air, and wide open skies while watching small aircraft land against a stunning mountain backdrop. Relax on the deck, explore nearby trails, and unwind under brilliant star filled nights. Your perfect mountain landing awaits. The space Sleeps 8 with two beautifully updated full bathrooms, each with a multi-jet shower panel and an LED mirror. The main bedroom has a king bed, the second has a queen bed, and the bunk room has five twin beds. The open living area is pure mountain lodge: vaulted ceilings, a wood stove with firewood provided, leather seating, a smart TV, and true cabin character in the aviation and wildlife decor. The kitchen has a gas range, a full set of cookware and dishes, a slow cooker, and a one-of-a-kind epoxy river breakfast bar. Outside, the wraparound deck has an outdoor sectional and a 4-burner gas grill, looking across the open meadow to the airstrip and mountains — front-row seats for takeoffs, landings, sunsets, and stargazing. Guest access The entire lodge, wraparound deck, and yard are yours. There's plenty of gravel parking for trailers and 4-wheelers. Timberon's community amenities are minutes away: the stocked fishing lake (New Mexico fishing license required — available at Walmart), the nine-hole golf course, the community pool in summer, and the public 5,200-foot airstrip right across the road — fly-in guests welcome. If you bring a side-by-side, please make sure it has a spark arrestor and is properly licensed for off-road use, and drive responsibly on our community roads. Other things to note There is no grocery store in Timberon, so we recommend coming prepared with everything you need. We do have a small convenience store with limited items, but it's best to bring all your essentials. Also, make sure you have enough gas for the 32-mile trip from Cloudcroft, as there is no gas station in Timberon. Please note: reaching the lodge requires driving on a dirt road with loose rock — take it slow. Wildlife: we're surrounded by the Lincoln National Forest, so deer, elk, and other wild animals may be seen outdoors around the lodge. Please enjoy them from a distance.
