We used this house to visit Carlsbad Caverns & hike Guadalupe. This was the best stocked house to welcome guests at which we have ever stayed. From bottled water, soap, toilet paper (nice TP at that) and even a sun hat for guest use made things so pleasant & easy to stay. The hosts really thought of everything. While the distance to the parks may seem far, the drive was nothing with the bypass around downtown Carlsbad. Great hosts, perfect house.

Great place just north of Carlsbad, so you're a little out of the way, but only minutes from some good food and drink options. We tried El Jimador and Yellow Brix for lunches and Lucky Bull for dinner. All solid options. Massage chair was a bonus (along with fresh blueberry muffins). Carlsbad Caverns was about 40 minutes away and Guadalupe Mountains National park was about an hour. Definitely recommend.

National park trip

We loved the rental. It was everything we needed and expected. The place was clean and had lots of amenities. The blueberry muffins and fresh eggs for breakfast were delicious. We even had a bonfire 1 night that was very enjoyable! It was a perfect place to stay for spending your days at Carlsbad caverns.

This was a great place to rest and relax after a day of exploring Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountain National Park. The kitchen has everything you need! We were treated to fresh blueberry muffins and fresh eggs in the day of our arrival. The owners were so kind and let us know that the property was ready if we wanted to check in early.

Great stay. Highly recommend.

This place was like a home away from home. The owners have a very slick check-in process and everything was as promised. My only comment is that we were there to hike in Guadalupe Mountains NP and it was about a one hour drive to the trailheads (40 min to Carlsbad Caverns NP).

Spacious, clean, comfortable. Big, beautiful covered front porch with rocking chairs perfect for the sunrise and hummingbird watching. They thought of everything, if we needed it for cooking or laundry or gamenight we had it!. They were so thoughtful to bake fresh blueberry muffins. They were delicious, we also had fresh eggs from the hens and small departing gifts to remember Carlsbad. We have traveled the world and this is one of my most favorite homes. Thank you so much!!

Perfect Base for Exploring Carlsbad

This house was perfect for me and my family. The house was beautiful and clean. There were even fresh muffins and eggs in the fridge when we arrived. It's very conveniently located close to Carlsbad, but far enough away that you have some privacy. It was the perfect base for us to explore the National Parks in this area.

Wonderful place to stay

Our family stayed at this property on our vacation to Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe National Park. Both parks were about an hour from this location. The house is beautiful and has everything you need. We cooked a lot there each evening and the kitchen was well supplied with pans and utensils. Cory responded immediately to an internet issue we were having and quickly remedied the problem. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic stay!

This was a great base of operations for a group of 5 guys that turned 50 this year wanting to get a bucket list item checked off and hike Guadalupe peak. The house was a perfect size and the fire pit area was a great bonus to sit outside and relax. The hospitality and thoughtfulness Cory and Bruce showed by making the special additions to our stay really put this in a league of its own. Thanks yall!
