   A sublime location...

    Set on the Continental Divide at 8000 feet atop Elk Ridge, Stella Vista is a charming getaway lodge offering

fabulous views of an ancient seabed in old Apache country and panoramas of the many-hued Sawtooth Mountains.

Pie Town, six miles away with a population of 75, is the nearest community. Catron County covers 8000 square miles,

larger than Connecticut and Rhode Island together, with a population under 3000.

    Stella Vista provides simple but comfortable quarters with a fully equipped kitchen, a laundry, two bedrooms and

two bathrooms. The master bedroom adjoins a private bath with a large garden tub. The guest room features a

full-size bed and a double futon. Including the king-size futon in the living room, the Lodge can sleep 4-6 people.

     Room for one more is availale in The Casita, a stone cottage on a scenic promontory that overlooks the Sawtooth and

Alegres Mountains. This small stone room is extra cozy with its woodstove and skylight for stellar observation from

bed!

    Also available for rental is a 20" Dobsonian telescope operated by local astronomer Michael Robinson at the nearby

Star-Rancher Observatory. Here you may take a "Tour of the Universe," observing planets, star clusters, nebulae and

galaxies (weather permitting). Please inquire for schedule and rental rates for telescope, image intensifier, and

astronomical digital camera-DVD recorder.
