Perfect spot for visiting the National Parks
It was the perfect size for my wife and I, and was conveniently located to restaurants and shopping for vacation supplies. The house was cozy and very well decorated. The neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

National park base camp
Thank you for a cozy place to stay while I checked out Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns. The bed was comfy, but the bathroom was really small. The shower in the camper I stayed at in Big Bend was bigger than this shower. If you’re looking for a great burger go to Lucky Bull Grill!

Great little stay
Accurate online description of the property. Just enough space for a couple and great value overall. Property was clean when we arrived and check-in was easy. Host was responsive and helpful during our stay. The bathroom is tight but has everything needed for showering, brushing your teeth, and using the restroom. Fully functional kitchen with size fridge was great. Would recommend stay to family and friends. The neighborhood isn't the best but not a huge deal as we were gone from the rental most days at the national parks.

A great little home away from home!
This little home was a pleasant surprise. It surprisingly has everything you could need and feels much bigger than you’d expect! Loved the Keurig coffee maker! It is also right in the middle of town. A short drive to everything and an easy drive to the Caverns & surrounding landmarks. Highly recommended!

Pilgrimage
This trip was unbelievably important in my life. It was *hot*.
apparently it was hotter than the usual June, and man o man! This lovely little place was son cool and comfy after being out and about. Clean, cool, beautifully decorated, with a special surprise. There was a box of pancake mix in the fridge and a waffle iron. This place was part of the most amazing trip of my life

Clean & Comfortable
My husband ended up making this work trip without me and mentioned it would have been tight for the two of us had I came on the trip with him and stayed here. Small bedroom and bath but the home was very clean with a comfortable bed and very responsive host! It's perfect for one person and he would stay again if traveling alone.

Part of Our 16 Days Traveling Through New Mexico
We were looking for a place to stay for five nights while we spent time at both Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The location was perfect and the accomodations were exactly what we wanted: comfortable, quiet and convenient.

Disappointing
Way to small for 2 adult women and one 11 year old child. No bedding for the futon anywhere in site. Key pad on front door took forever to get in. Gravel front and back, no outside seating of any kind. Neighborhood was questionable at best. Shower was the size of a small refrigerator box. Grandson could not raise his arm to wash his hair in the shower, accidentally broke one of the dispensers as the shower was that SMALL. However I will pay 40.00 dollars for one of the dispenser bottles as requested by the owner. Will never stay there again.

Cozy Home / Excellent Location
The rental property exceeded our expectations. It is centrally located and is easy to get to the lake, and either north or south side of town.
It is a very clean property with great amenities. We will definitely be looking for this same rental on our next visit to Carlsbad, NM.
We had trouble using our code to get into the rental upon our arrival. The property manager was quick to resolve that issue. Thank you so much for all of your help.

Adorable cottage
The nondescript exterior belies the adorable interior. Unlike some places, the furniture is solid (as opposed to “third hand”) and the place is cutely decorated.
Comfortable bed, solid couch, fully functional kitchen.
The bathroom is rather small, but - like the rest of the interior - it is newly renovated and extremely clean.
