Can't say enough good things about this house and the hosts. The location was great to hit Guadalupe and Carlsbad Caverns and still close to town for supplies and restaurants. The beds were comfortable and bathroom was clean. Carlsbad itself was a little crazy, so we were happy to be on the outskirts. We appreciated the treats left for us at check-in!

We had a great stay overall and would definitely book this place again in the future. The location is excellent for visiting Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Guadalupe Mountains National Park, which made our trip very convenient. The host was welcoming, friendly, and very responsive, which we really appreciated. Communication was easy from start to finish, and check-in was smooth. The home was comfortable and worked well for our needs. The only small suggestions would be that the kitchen could use a bit more detailed cleaning, and in the early morning you can hear trucks passing by, so light sleepers may want to be aware of that. Overall, this is a solid place to stay, especially if your main goal is exploring the national parks. Despite the minor points, we really enjoyed our time here and would happily return on a future trip.

I had a little trouble finding the location at first since Apple Maps sent me down a different road but once I followed the address directly it was easy to find. From the moment I arrived it truly felt like a home away from home. The space was very comfortable and stocked with plenty of amenities. We cooked in the kitchen every day without any issues and the washer and dryer were simple and convenient to use. We stayed here to hike the nearby national parks and on our way back one day we ended up with a flat tire. After getting back on the spare our host went above and beyond by trying their best to help fix the tire for us at 7 AM so we could make it home safely. They even made us muffins which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall a wonderful stay with exceptional hospitality. Highly recommend.
