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 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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Fantastic stay!

This was a great base of operations for a group of 5 guys that turned 50 this year wanting to get a bucket list item checked off and hike Guadalupe peak. The house was a perfect size and the fire pit area was a great bonus to sit outside and relax. The hospitality and thoughtfulness Cory and Bruce showed by making the special additions to our stay really put this in a league of its own. Thanks yall!
