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.

This home was near Carlsbad Caverns and not too far from Guadalupe Mountains. While it is not as secluded as you might think, it was a nice home in the area with plenty of space to spread out. There is also a very nice courtyard area with a good grill.

We had the absolute best stay at Cory’s place. Perfect location for us. We came to hike the highest point in Texas, Guadalupe Peak. It was only an hour drive to the trailhead so we were able to get an early morning start and back to the house by mid afternoon to rest. We loved being just outside of town where we enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets. It was amazing to have so many different appliances to use which we have not had at any other places we have stayed. We LOVED exploring Carlsbad and Roswell. We all agreed we would love to come back and will recommend Cory’s place for anyone wanting the perfect restful getaway near many outdoor adventures to enjoy.

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.

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!!

Absolutely Perfect !

First I have to start by saying our hosts were AMAZING. Cory and Bruce are the best hosts we have ever had. They made us feel like family. The property was spotless, and very well organized. They went above and beyond with everything in the house. They even had a pantry with items to purchase that you might have forgotten. Our trip started out rough, but everything about the hosts, and this house made the trip fantastic. They even made us muffins, and gave us fresh laid eggs. The place is easy to find, quiet, safe, easy parking, easy entry. The beds were comfortable, the house was spacious. There is a massage chair in the living room that my family would call dibs on when we were still in the middle our of day elsewhere. We had everything we needed, and would highly recommend this place to anyone going to the area. We visited Carlsbad Caverns, The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, Roswell, and explored other areas of NM with this being the perfect home base.

Great location! Clean, comfortable and well stocked

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. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

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.

When we first pulled up to the property we were impressed by how nice it looked. The inside was completely warm and welcoming with so many personal touches by the hosts, from the best blueberry muffins and fresh eggs waiting for you to the specially folded towels in the bedrooms. The host went above and beyond providing for and anticipating their guests needs. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Great place to stay!

My family I stayed here during a vacation to Carlsbad Caverns NP, White Sands NP, and Guadalupe Mountains NP. We were greeted with fresh muffins and eggs from the hosts’ chickens. It was very clean and organized. Everything we could possibly need was provided including walking sticks, a backpack, sleds and wax for the dunes at White Sands, and an ice chest. For those with kids, there was a high chair and a pack play. There was a closet full of both indoor and outdoor games that we thoroughly enjoyed. There was a great outdoor space for the kids to play and for the adults to enjoy also. Plenty of space for a large family. No complaints here! Would 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).

Desert oasis stay

Wonderful property in a great location. Easy access into Carlsbad and to sites we were interested in, including the caverns, Guadalupe Mountains NP and Roswell. Arrived to farm fresh eggs and muffins. The house is set up perfectly for families with a lot of extras, sleds for white sands, cooler, a mini market ( truly a great idea for guests who may have forgotten or lost items) game closet and much more. I really enjoyed the reading material on local birds and plants. It was so nice to get to a spacious, comfortable home after camping in Big bend for 3 days! Highly recommend.

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.
