Accommodations

The George Walker House welcomes only one party at a time, whether you are one person or a crowd. The back bedroom has a double bed. The front bedroom has a double and a twin bed. There is a sofa bed in the living room. Camp cots are also available.

Kitchen Essentials

The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, an electric range, a microwave oven, a toaster, and a coffee maker. Dishes, glassware, pots and pans, cutlery, and all of the usual utensils are also provided, as are dishtowels, paper towels, dish-washing supplies, and aluminum foil.

Groceries

The refrigerator is stocked with milk, eggs, orange juice, bagels or English muffins, jelly, butter, ketchup, and mustard. In the cupboards you will find coffee, tea, cold cereal, oatmeal, raisins, crackers, several packages of soup, macaroni and cheese, and spaghetti, and such staples as oil, vinegar, honey, sugar, and spices.

Bath, Bed, and Laundry

The bathroom cabinet is stocked with towels, facecloths, soap, tissues, and a first-aid kit.

The bedrooms are supplied with sheets, pillows, quilts, and blankets (down comforter during the chilly months). We provide window fans during the summer months.

The laundry room has a washer and a dryer, and is equipped with laundry detergent and bleach.

Entertainment

There is no television reception at the George Walker House, but a VCR and videotapes on birding and other natural history topics (plus a couple of cowboy movies), and an extensive and growing library of field guides, books about Southwestern flora, fauna, history, and culture, and some mindless novels provide a pleasant substitute to the evening news. Several games and puzzles are on the bookshelf as well. The closest source of a local newspaper is the Rodeo Grocery, in Rodeo, New Mexico, fifteen miles from here. USA Today is available at the Portal Store.

Gasoline

The Rodeo Grocery and Rodeo RV usually, but not always, has gas. Otherwise, the closest gas stations are in Douglas and San Simon, Arizona, and in Lordsburg, New Mexico. Please plan accordingly.
