Beautiful home, host was helpful. The home is easily accessible to most of Las Cruses. Host has done a great job of labeling the home to find what you need. Beds were comfortable. She responded to a question and was able to give us some things to see in El Paso also. Highly recommend.

Close to NMSU; well appointed; clean; comfy beds; responsive host. The only drawback was some street noise behind the house. If you're sensitive to traffic noise when you're falling asleep, you may want to pack ear plugs. Overall great place!

Beautiful home with a fully fenced back yard. The host was so considerate in labeling all of the light switches, drawers and different areas of the house. The check in process was very smooth and I appreciated the digital lock - no need for keys.It took a few hours for the house to cool down to room temp once we arrived, which was hard for the dogs. If there is a way to start bringing the temp down before we arrived that would be fantastic. But otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!

Wonderful stay

Gail was kind and made sure we had all we needed when we arrived. She let us know of good local restaurants (which we tried and loved) and also let us know she had a foot spa for after our long hike (which was happily used).The house was clean and welcoming. We were really sore after our hike, and the bed was so comfortable. We wish we had a longer stay so we could have enjoyed the backyard. We are returning to Las Cruces next year, and are definitely going to try and stay here again. Overall it was such a wonderful and comfortable stay.

Girls’ Weekend

This was the perfect place for our girls’ weekend to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl. My best friend and I have been friends for over 40 years and have raised our kids together and now they are having babies and it is wonderful to be able to spend time together. This home facilitated the making of great memories.
