Silver Bullet Airstream / hosted by El Mistico
The Silver Bullet is a fully renovated Airstream RV surrounded by juniper pines. Sit out front on the large porch and watch the wild life-Elk, Deer, Rabbits, and other critters who call our 30 acres of woods their home too. Silver Bullet is part of El Mistico glamping Ranch, which host other unique stays like Ashley's Treehouse. The property sits on 7,100 ft of elevation and neighbors the Lincoln National Forrest. Come unplug from the city and enjoy a peaceful adventure at El Mistico.

If i could rate 0 stars I would.
This Vrbo stay was the worst experience we've ever had. So much so, that we didnt even stay the night and drove three hours home. Our host didn't send the code to get into the campground and due to no cellphone reception we had to drive miles just to be able to message and ask. We finally get into the campground, make the walk to our destination just to find out we need another code that was once again not given to us. We then have to walk back to our car in freezing temperatures to drive a few miles again and ask for the secondary code. We when we finally get into the camper we notice hair all over our bedding as though it wasn't changed prior to our stay. We reached out to the host and still haven't received a response.

No service no entry
We absolutely loved the property and the stay. A night away from the world and just some peace in the fresh air is exactly what we needed. One big issue we had was that VRBO/host failed to send the proper codes to enter the property so without cell service or Wi-Fi it was literally impossible to get in. We had to drive out about a mile to get in contact with our host. I would have appreciated that Info in advance

This place was perfect!!
What a unique and great place to stay. If you are looking for a quite secluded romantic get away, this is the place! Each of their cabins/rvs is secluded from the other which gives you the privacy that you need. We stayed in the Silver Bullet and is was perfect. The grounds are beautiful and they RV was clean and well kept. 10/10 will stay here again!

Great place to escape as a couple or with kids
We stayed a few days and loved all the little touches that made us feel at home. The games and toys would have been great if we’d brought our 4 year old
