Hey Bruce, thank you so much for the lovely review. You two were great guests and always welcome to come back anytime!
This property was immaculate. Every detail was designed to make the user feel exactly like they were at home. The well equipped kitchen had every convenience including an air fryer, spices, even down to toothpicks. Would encourage all visitors to the area to stay here for a relaxing stay with upscale conveniences and a beautiful view.

Thanks, Scott, for such a nice review! John and I have a goal to make our house: 'the home away from home'! We were happy to host you guys and please come back again.
Great host with the best view! Cannot beat the sunsets on the upper deck patios at this listing. Loved this mountaintop home near Cloudcroft, NM. Found the place very private and peaceful. Would definitely stay again.

Thanks Jennifer, we are so happy you guys like the house and had a good time! Come back when the snow flies!
This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed it. It was so cozy, comfortable, and the view is like nothing I’ve ever seen. The extra amenities made it so pleasant and welcoming from cookies to bottled water to sleds for the dunes. Everything was exactly as listed, the hosts were so kind and helpful and quickly responsive. We are thinking of planning another trip to southern New Mexico just so we can spend a few days here! It was my husband and 4 kids ages 6-12 and we all say it’s the best place we’ve ever stayed!

Thank you so much for the glowing review, Jessica! You have a wonderful family, and we will be happy to host you when you are back this way. Try and come in the winter and all the kids can make snowmen!
We had our annual Spring Yoga retreat with John and Jude.Everything was perfect for us. The Kitchen and dinning table accommodated all of our gatherings for meals and late night conversations. Everyone slept soundly, enabling us to venture to White Sands National Monument for spectacular light at 6:00 AM. Our hosts communicated happily and with precision. Everyone wants to return.

Hi Jo, thank you for the lovely review.! John and I truly enjoyed hosting you and your friends. The house looked great too when you left, hopefully we can see you again next year. Or sneak away this winter when we have snow! Jude and John
Our stay at Vista De Los Dioses was nothing short of amazing. The home is beautiful, the views are absolutely breathtaking, and the location is very convenient with stores and restaurants close by. The hosts were incredibly responsive and flexible throughout our stay. We truly loved our time here and would highly recommend it.

Hi Annie, John and I are so very happy you enjoyed your stay at Vista De Los Dioses.. Thank you for the kind words and yes we have amazing views! Hope you guest can come back here in 2026!
Judy was an amazing host. We entered the home and were surprised to find so many extra amenities. There were bottles of water and book bags for day hiking. They had sleds for the sand dunes too. There was a basket of little toiletries in case we forgot something. Instructions for each device were laminated for easy use: TVs, grill, oven, AC unit, etc. I could tell that Judy has a passion for hosting and we are so lucky to have found this place.

Hi Edward, wow thank you so much for the lovely review! I know it was a special time for you and your family and John, and I were honored that you picked us out of many homes. I would like to see you guys back at least once a year - just to get away!! take care, Jude & John
Lovely home with truly awesome, peaceful canyon views. Home was spotlessly clean, modern very well stocked kitchen & linens plus a delicious dessert treat left for us by the hosts and the home was so nicely decorated for Christmas - a charming surprise bonus! Hosts were super friendly and responsive. One of the most enjoyable properties we’ve ever stayed at.

Happy to hear you and your family like the home and the views! Hope to see you all again soon!
If you're thinking about staying here... the answer is YES!!! Look no further! % absolutely EXCEEDED our expectations. We came for a wedding and we didn't want to leave to attend (of course we did) BUT it is so relaxing, comfortable, genuine, and peaceful that you won't want to leave!! Everything is so thoughtful and you feel like Judy genuinely cares for you!! In this day and age that speaks volumes. From the beautifully decorated home, to just ABOUT ANY/EVERY amenity you can think of, this place is next level. You cannot find this in a hotel ( my opinion ). The home itself is immaculate, large rooms, sparkling clean, decks with amazing views, televisions in every room, and a wonderfully set up hummingbird sanctuary... I promise it will NOT disappoint. Judy and John have thought of everything. My grown kids especially appreciated the cookies she left, and in case YOU forgot something (toothbrush, deodorant, shampoo etc) it is ALL there. The home is "fully loaded" and my husband particularly appreciated the various varieties of coffee and plenty of ice cold water ! Everything is modern and we enjoyed cooking out on the spectacular grill provided. I do suggest you come in on 82* it's much quicker getting to the house, and no worries there is plenty of parking and a garage. I just cannot say enough about this wonderful home. My husband is a disabled Marine veteran and he said "this is the first time I have felt truly relaxed and at peace in a very long time"

Glad you guys enjoyed staying at View of the God's come back soon!
