7 college buddies stayed here while visiting the caverns. Sleeping arrangements were great. Nice tvs in every bedroom. Easy to find house.

We didn't hate our stay here, but we didn't love it either. Three of our kids who all slept in one of the bedrooms, got bedbug bites. We've had the unfortunate experience of dealing with bedbugs in our own home many years ago, so my husband and I recognized the pattern of the bites when we saw them. It's been two weeks and the bites are still healing. [Note, we had three kids in one room because one of the rooms was too spooky for any of them--the sheer "curtains" let just enough light through that they could see outside at night...scary.] The house was a bit run down, despite efforts to update it. There were several sloppy wall patches here and there, sloppy paint job throughout, etc. Everything was functional, but it all felt slapped together. Also, there's no dishwasher. I should have noticed that on the listing, but I guess that's something I just take for granted. There was a washer and dryer in a shed attached to the back of the house, but no laundry detergent provided (and no doorknob to get into the room with the washer/dryer--just pull hard on the hole). There aren't any pictures of the yard in the listing for a reason. The yard is full of sticker weeds which we accidentally tracked into the house and then would find the stickers with our bare feet in the house later. Ouch! All of that said, we were reasonably comfortable there and felt safe. It's a nice family neighborhood with parks nearby. It's close to the main part of town with restaurants and Walmart. And close to Carlsbad Caverns which is why we were there. There was a cute cat that apparently lived in the front yard, so the kids liked that. But I wanted to give others a heads up about the condition of the place. If I had to do it all over again, I'd opt for a hotel.

Good place to stay and overall. Beds are very comfortable and plenty of sleep places. Host is very responsive.
