Set On the Continental Divide at 8000 feet atop Elk Ridge, Stella Vista is a charming getaway lodge offering fabulous views (north, east and west) of an ancient seabed in old Apache country and prospects of the many hued Sawtooth Mountain range.
Here you can gaze at the stars of startling brilliance in the darkest skies of the Southwest; you will see fabled sunsets and cloud scapes in the luminous desert air; you will experience the silence, deep and soothing,
of the High New Mexican desert.
Here is the opportunity for for solitude and communion. 
Pristine water from hundreds of feet below refresh the body and spirit.

The darkest clearest skies in America provide views of the stars like you have never seen.
 
Proximity to wilderness, hiking, canyons, lava fields, hunting and fishing as well as the White Mountains in Arizona (little more than an hour away) make this undiscovered retreat
