10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (67)
"The house was great. We mainly used it as a place to sleep while we went to Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mtns NPs. The street the house is on is busy, especially when the games are done at the park across the street."

"Nice, quiet spot to come back to while exploring Carlsbad Caverns. It was great to be able to do our laundry right at the house while relaxing. House is small, but didn't feel it, and had everything we needed. Also, in a nice quiet neighborhood, with a pretty church opposite. Donny, the host, checked in via text frequently to make sure everything was going well. Thank you."

"We loved the week we spent at your house! The house was very fresh and clean. It was super comfortable. The host provided wonderful towels, clean beds, everything we needed for the kitchen, and even a few basic food staples like salt and pepper. Surprising to us, there was a bed in the fourth bedroom, too. Plenty of room for everyone! Also, the neighborhood was lovely--quiet and peaceful."

"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.
