This 1940s house was perfect for our needs. The location is in the original settlement of Alamogordo. It was clean, quaint yet with modern internet, TV, etc. Our host, Kristi, was great. We would return to this property.

Two bedroom/ two bath lived up to all our expectations and more. A perfect homebase for seeing the area and hanging out with friends. Already planning on returning!

This property is a little gem - and a refreshing change from ultra-modern rentals. The property was spotlessly clean, everything worked and the original floors were superb. It may look a little grubby outside, but it is in a dusty and windy environment. Book it and you will not be disappointed.

The house is large, kitchen was really stocked with condiments and goodies. Great spots to sit outside and drink coffee in the back yard or porch. Beds are comfortable as is the furniture. Everything was squeaky clean.

We stayed here for a week while visiting many different areas in SW and Central NM. It was a good location to take day trips to places like Las Cruces, Roswell and the Trinity site. The home is tastefully decorated, clean, comfortable and well stocked. The back yard is cute and we were encouraged to use some of the herbs and veggies that were ripe for pickin. There was plenty of room for four to sleep (a master and spare room) and to also dine and lounge. Pretty much any store you need is just a few minutes away. Overall is a cute house that has been up-kept and is a good central location to explore southern New Mexico from. We would stay here again.

Such a cute home to stay in when you're traveling. It was so much space, had nice, extra touches, and loved the outdoor space for coffee in the morning. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful ten day stay at this property which has everything and more. Charming historical and tastefully decorated home with plentry of yard space where we picked delicious apples and a great number of cherry tomatoes to enjoy while cooking in the well stocked kitchen. Central air conditioning worked beautifully.

Home is comfortable but in bad area on very busy street. Yard was unkept with grass unmowed and 2 ft. high.

Charming Cottage
Lovely updated 1940s house. Loved the white paneled doors and glass door knobs on the front door. Lots of charm throughout and tastefully furnished and decorated. Welcoming touches like fresh cut flowers, chocolates, and coffee. Plenty of room, comfortable King bed, plenty of towels, hot water, kitchen fully equipped and everything very clean. Most importantly, I felt very safe. The home is fully fenced, private patio area. Great for our dogs. Located in a quiet family neighborhood. Kristi & John we’re nice and responsive. Location convenient to everything, ie. Holloman AFB, White Sands, restaurants, Pistachio farms & Wineries. Also, near Lowe’s Market which has everything from groceries to a bar with live entertainment! I highly recommend this property and would stay again.

Practically perfect in every way
Charming home in a perfect location. Plenty of room for hosting family during our visit. Clean, quiet and full of little touches that made our stay extra special. Alexa, phone chargers, smart TV, extra linens and even some food items were available for use. Our granddaughter especially loved the Disney+ subscription and affectionately named the house “casita.” The beds were comfortable and we never ran out of hot water 😊 The hosts were just at text away when we had a question. We would recommend this property to anyone visiting Alamogordo and plan to stay here again in the future!

Perfect!!!
We loved everything about this southwest house. It was clean, decorated so tastefully and had all the amenities we could want. Location was centrally located to restaurants and grocery stores. We love to hike and it was a great location for that too. Has a fenced in front and back yard which was great for our dog. Hosts were excellent help with any questions we had. We hope to make it back again! Our stay here worked out perfect!

Great location. Close to the AFB
My son in law is stationed at holloman AFB. Location was close to base. House was charming. Very clean and inviting. I will be staying there again on future trips. Plenty of extra towels and blankets. Kitchen is stocked with the basics even some snack stuff. Great selection of games. Even pens and paper in the office. This house was perfect for my 8 day stay.

Best home away from home!
This was an extremely beautiful, home like, and very relaxing home away from home! The bed was the most comfortable I have ever experienced on a trip! Will certainly return again! John was awesome to communicate during our stay.

Updated and comfortable home
This home is very centrally located and an ease to get around to activities and restaurants. We enjoyed the full kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a third bedroom which was used as an office with an exercise machine. We were able to park along the side street under a carport and felt safe even leaving articles in our car since we were driving cross country. It doesn’t take long to feel comfortable in a home away from home. Full laundry room which was helpful on our halfway point in our trip. Stay a few days are adventure around Alamogordo, White Sands National Park and fun little towns that are a short drive.

You’ll Never Want to Leave!!
I come to the area quite frequently to visit my grandfather and have stayed in quite a few properties in Alamogordo. Not only is this property’s location great, but you seriously couldn’t ask for nicer hosts or a better home! Kristi and John are so incredibly kind and the house has every amenity you could ask for! Upon arrival the place was clean and organized. It’s a GREAT space; comfortable with plenty of blankets to snuggle with, and peaceful so you can relax and unwind after whatever the day has thrown at you! It is very tastefully decorated, not like with useless random items just to fill the space with either, but with things that make you feel like you’re really at home - and the hospitality to match! Next time I come back to town I won’t search for another property.

Great host and wonderful property!
If you like a unique and well cared for home, this is the place. Wonderfully southwestern with tiles and hardwoods. Nice back patio with privacy. It’s centrally located and near restaurants and grocery. Had car trouble while traveling and the host was very accommodating - best support ever!

A food location for use as a home base
I was in Alamo for work and this home provided a comfortable and convenient location, It included all necessary conveniences and then some. It was conveniently located near to stores and had a well appointed kitchen. Recommended.

Well appointed and comfortable
This property is almost everything you look for in a short-term rental. It is very clean, well appointed with many nice decorations and materials, but not ostentatious. The owners were excellent in their communication and at the ready to do anything to improve the experience. The location is convenient. The neighborhood is mid-level mixed, meaning several well-cared for homes, with some not so much. I always felt comfortable and safe when I walked my dog through the surrounding area. It was perfect for my purposes and if you need to spend time in Alamagordo, this is a great place to do it in.

Pleasant Stay in Alamogordo
The cottage was perfect for our brief stay in Alamogordo. It had the space we needed as a family with two young kids to spread out. The wrap-around porch was excellent for relaxing with the kids and dog in the evenings and mornings, but also during nap time. It was a short drive to White Sands and having the sleds available for use was an added bonus! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Visiting our 91yo Dad for his Birthday!
This property is our all time favorite VRBO! We have never stayed at a property with this much charm & comfort. John & Kristi are extremely accessible & accommodating. The house is supplied with everything, from shampoo, lotion, conditioner, soap, plush abundant towels. The king size bed is so comfortable. (We didn’t use the guest room.) The laundry room is stocked with a great supply of detergent, with 5 star appliances. The kitchen is a cooks dream. The fridge was stocked with bottled water. Pantry full of popcorn, coffee, & a drawer of every spice ever needed. Paper towel, Kleenex, toilet paper. The decor is true southwest, comfortable leather furniture, mixed with antique side tables. The hardwood floors have gorgeous southwest rugs. The office has an exercise machine that my spouse used daily. The wrap around veranda protected us from the rain. (Yes, we brought rain to New Mexico!) unfortunately, we couldn’t enjoy the backyard, due to the rain. Otherwise, we would have been grilling steaks & eating outside. Parking accommodated our guests for the 91st birthday party, & 6 of us sat comfortably at the table. We will return in March, 2022, for a longer stay. Thank you John & Kristi. There is not another thing you could add that would make us enjoy our stay more.

Cute Alamogordo home
This place was great for my family of 4 and our chihuahuas. My girls baked pies with the grandma in the kitchen and we played games with the family at the table. The master bedroom was roomy and the bed was comfortable. Loved the house decor. The gates arounds the yard are not made for small dogs so you have to watch that they don't get out but plenty of room to roam. Overall an excellent home and the owners were great.

Just what we needed
House was beautiful but very comfortable. Felt peaceful as soon as we walked inside. Lots of nice little touches, chocolate on the pillows was a winner :) Owners very easy to contact and very accomodating, we arrived earlier than check in time and they were fine with letting us in. Kitchen was well stocked with all the basics. This was our first VRBO stay and we will probably never stay at a hotel again! Wonderful experience.

Wonderful house - perfect location!
We had such a perfect stay in this property! The property manager is available at a moments notice (although we didn't need anything other than the wifi password). The house perfectly decorated and has an office - which was an awesome added bonus! The location was great for both food and White Sands Park - and we felt very safe in the location. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Awesome stay!
This place is a gem, beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and appointed with thoughtful touches throughout. So cozy and comfortable! Owners communicated so well, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic stay. A perfect base for a trip to White Sands.

Comfortable & homey
My husband & I needed a place to stay while Our Son had surgery. I came across this rental on VRBO. Booked it & was so glad that I did! It was a very sweet, comfortable, & make you feel like you were right at home place. It had everything that you could possibly need... I Mean EVERYTHING!!! All we had to worry about was our food & clothes. From start to finish John was easy to get a hold of, & he answered all of my questions very quickly. We will always try to book his home again if it's available our next visit.
