Our experience was a mixture of good and bad. The racoon walking around in the attic was bad and made sleeping difficult. The beds were comfortable but not the pillows. The rooms stayed cool but we had to drain the portable ACs in each room multiple times or they stopped running. The units were very loud. The AC for the rest of the house did not work well so we could not spend time in the living room, dining area, or kitchen without getting hot. The living room couches were quite uncomfortable. I enjoyed having a washer and dryer but the washer was pretty gross in some parts. The kitchen floor was sticky and dirty. The kitchen was stocked minus trash bags. Host responded quickly though the maintenance man never showed for the racoon issue.

The house was comfortable and welcoming. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We stayed here to go to the caverns and the living desert zoo, both of which we enjoyed immensely. There were not a ton of offerings that were not fast food for dinner in town, but the town was easy to navigate.

This would have been a fine property if it wasn't for the fact that the AC unit could not keep the temperature below 82 to 85. When we checked out the Owner said that they wished that we had reached out to them so that they could have helped but I'm not sure how they could have helped if the AC unit didn't work efficiently enough to keep it cool. Doubt they were going to put in a new AC in the two days we were there.

The property and neighborhood were humble, but in a really comfortable way. There were plenty of beds and each one of them were really comfortable. The kitchen was roomy enough to accommodate the cook and their helper(s) and was well stocked. The family/dining room was a great place to hang around and play games after a nice family dinner. The home was conveniently located with a quick trip to local groceries, gas and restaurants. It was also a short drive to the Carlsbad Caverns and the Living Desert Zoo. We had a great stay and the lock system on the door was really convenient for anytime check in and a worry free experience to make sure every adult had access and nobody needed to worry about keeping track of keys.

Positives: Close proximity to Carlsbad Caverns. Very roomy. Kitchen was well equipped. Lots of TVs. Beds were comfortable. Negatives: When we pulled up to the property, the trash can was overflowing onto the ground. The yard needs some attention. They had some major plumbing issues that need to be addressed. I was assured, on checking out, that they were going to take care of it.

Nice and close to Carlsbad caverns. The house isn’t large, but has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, large kitchen, TVs everywhere. Great use of space.

Very big and very quiet with 6TVs

Stayed here for a few nights with another family while visiting area national parks. The good: Listing was pretty accurate. Check in and check out were easy. Plenty of space, neighborhood felt safe and was within walking distance of food/convenience and a delicious restaurant (Carniceria - highly recommend.) The not so good - there are definitely animals in the ceiling that will keep you up. A previous review mentioned it and said it was being taken care of - it wasn’t and may very well keep you up at night. It was heard in all rooms each night. There is also a light sewer smell - a venting issue perhaps? Not horrible, but definitely unpleasant. Attempted to communicate with property before arrival and never heard back so didn’t make any further attempts. Also there is no apparent attention to detail - it’s clean enough but certainly lacking in the detail work and things like totally unusable chairs out back that belong in the trash would make it feel less unkempt. Overall it seemed pretty par for the course for the area and definitely checked the boxes of the necessities for a short stay.
