Property was comfortable but it seemed the A/C did not disperse well throughout the bedrooms & den. It ran a lot, but did not seem to truly cool down to the 74 degrees the thermostat was registering. Our of fairness, the days were getting up to well over 100 degrees. Also the recliners worked poorly. Some would not retract from an extended position and some would not extend our at all. Time for some new furniture, I think.

This was perfect for what we wanted! The location couldn't be better and the list of local stores/restaurants provided was just what we needed. Donny was responsive and helpful, and made our stay even better than we thought it would be. Check in was beyond simple. Highly recommend.

We have stayed in many hotels and a hand full of lodging homes. This house was just perfect, clean and very accommodating. You can definitely tell the owners really had you in mind when offering this nice place to stay. 10/10 would stay again.

This home couldn’t have been more perfect for us. The place was clean and well stocked with most all your needs. We were looking for clean, safe, and comfortable and we found that in this home. We will definitely use it as a first choice when returning to visit. The owners really seem to put time and effort into providing you a pleasant home. Thanks again to y’all for everything!

Close to Carlsbad State Park, and not a bad drive to Roswell. You can walk over to the park to play with kids. The host was awesome and checked on us daily to make sure everything was good. I would stay here again.

Older house in a neighborhood 2 blocks off main highway. Easy getting on and off. 2 of the footrest on the reclining couches would not go down but I made do. If you like sleeping with a cold A/C then you can't here. There are specific instructions to not put the thermostat below 72. There are ceiling fans & portable fans in the rooms so I still slept comfortable but it will get warm when in the kitchen if you're cooking. Washer & dryer was very convenient for me. Donny was very communicative on checking on me as well as notifying me of when he would be over to turn the yard sprinklers on. The neighbors next door do have a lot of vehicles in the street so if you come in more than 1 vehicle make sure you ask Donny where you can park the other vehicles. He does have a portable garage but my 3/4 ton truck could not fit under it so I parked in the driveway still within the property fencing. Plenty of dishes, glasses, linens, and utensils. There's no kitchen or dining room table but the snack bar can accommodate 3 people. Wifi was kinda slow at times while using my computer for work so I don't know how it would be for streaming movies.

Had a wonderful stay at this quaint home while checking out the sights of Carlsbad. We visited the caves 25 minutes away and was 5 minutes away from the Pecos River . The place was so clean. There were plenty of pillows and extra blankets, complimentary coffee, and the host was readily available, kind, and considerate. He demonstrated that by shipping me my sweater that I had left behind. Thanks Donny for being an exceptional host and making us feel so welcome in your home!

I like that the house is not right off the main streets but very close to everything in town. It felt like a safe neighborhood. The house has everything we needed.

Just what we needed!
We are a family of four (girls ages 10 & 15) taking a little time off visiting sites around New Mexico. Carlsbad was one of our stops. We stayed at Donny’s Plaza home for 3 nights and it was just what we needed. The place was clean and it had space for us and our kids to spread out. They get along great so it worked out for them to sleep on the same bed, but there is a separate single folding bed/mattress you can use and a futon. We did a little cooking so it’s great to have a kitchen with essentials. We heard the church bells as others have indicated, but it wasn’t really a bother. The bathroom is a bit small and shower head a bit low, but nothing we couldn’t deal with. Donny was an excellent communicator throughout so that was a plus. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would certainly consider staying there again if we return. Thank you!

Perfect spot to see Carlsbad caverns
We stayed here on our way through so we could check out Carlsbad caverns. Not only was the house exactly what we needed but it was budget friendly and the owners were great to help us out if we needed. He helped us find some great food and answered all my questions. We would stay here again :-)

Great location and amazing owner
The property was very clean and easy to find. It was in the middle of town and the owner would check in on us to see how we were enjoying our stay. We never met face to face simply communicated over the phone which was great for us since we were in and out our entire trip. Got the entire property to ourselves 10/10 recommended this spot!

Great place
We were in the area visiting the National Parks. This house was perfect for us! Quiet neighborhood, right across from a Catholic church (the bells chime the hour from about 7AM-9PM but we liked them). Close to plenty of normal stores and restaurants but unfortunately we didn't really get to experience them because of risk of coronavirus. But with the national parks and the local parks we had plenty to do and they were easy to get to.
House was very clean, had comfy couches and beds, nice bathroom, spacious layout of the living room and kitchen. If we're ever back in Carlsbad, we'll be looking for this place again!

Great house in Carlsbad
This was a great house. We loved our time here. Others have commented on the church bells but we found them charming and they didn't interrupt our sleep at all. Property was exceptionally clean and the host was responsive and very friendly. We loved our time here.

Convenient
The Plaza Home was convenient for our 2 days visiting neighboring Parks and Monuments. After staying in less than ideal motels for the previous nights, it was very nice to have space to spread out, Netflix, washer/dryer and a full kitchen. The price was very competitive as well.
Couple things to be aware of: the church bells (across the plaza) begin at 6 am and no matter how often you try to turn them off with your phone, they will still ring. The height of the shower was a bit low for my traveling companion, though it didn't bother me. And the host provided us with several water bottles and some much needed fruit upon our arrival. Such a nice touch.
I'd stay here again, if I ever have the need.

Clean, comfortable, and safe
We were in town to see Carlsbad Caverns and Guadeloupe National Parks; we were up early each day and came in late each night, and just needed a clean, comfortable, safe place to relax in the evening and sleep—this place fit the bill. The host was very responsive and helpful: we did not arrive until 11:35pm the first night and our key code to get in did not work. We called the property manager unexpectedly in the middle of the night and she arrived in about 5 and let us in. The owner had our key code fixed before we got in from the park the following day.
We had everything we needed and it was a great, convenient place to stay.

Great house
This house was great for my family (2 adults, 2 kids). Living room is spacious and the backyard with swingset was perfect for the kids. The owner was prompt with communications and very friendly - even left us some fruit and bottled water in the fridge! The *only* drawback, which was nothing to do with the house itself or the owner, is that it is located very near a church with a bell tower. The bells would ring starting at 6:00am and would ring every half-hour until the evening - which made it tough to "sleep in" while on vacation. I'm a light sleeper, so was easily woken by the bells...a heavier sleeper might not be. Overall though, we had a great experience at the house - a very good value in Carlsbad and good location if you're going to the caverns!
