Clean, beautiful, updated, incredibly well-appointed with everything you could want/need, wonderful linens, very comfortable beds. Loved it, and we will be back next time we have to head to Carlsbad for work.
Our family stayed here while visiting Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Park—great place to stay! Very clean, nice neighborhood, convenient location, and lots of space to spread out. Highly recommend.
Everything was great!! The property was spotless and as advertised, the location was close enough to town and the drive to the caverns was an easy one. Highly recommend this property if you are staying in Carlsbad, also the garage access was a great plus!
The house was easy to find. Very quiet neighborhood. The house was exceptionally clean. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed.We were very well pleased

Amazing Property
In the 100 or so homes we have rented so far, this was the best. Very clean home, nice big rooms, nice big TVs, well stocked kitchen and very quiet neighborhood
Great Base Location for Exploring Carlsbad Caverns & Guadalupe Mountains National Parks
We stayed at the "Carlsbad Retreat" 3 nights while exploring the nearby National Parks. The house was conveniently located in a clean, quiet, relatively new residential neighborhood. The house itself was meticulously maintained and extremely well stocked with all the conveniences of home. Highly recommended!
Came for my son's wedding. This was a very spacious home, that gave great vibes as soon as you opened the door. My grandson loved the spacious backyard. After all of the festivities over the weekend it was nice to come to a peaceful place that reminds you of home!! Very relaxing, . Carlsbad is a hidden Gem. i'll stay there again when i come visit my son.
Great location. House has a very nice layout. The backyard was small but serene. The bed was comfortable. Very clean. Furniture comfortable. If another trip to Carlsbad is in our future this is where we will stay!
Beautiful home. Everything you need for a stay. Super clean. Very organized. Safe neighborhood. Could not be happier with the home and the ease of staying there.
We spent 2 nights for our visit to Carlsbad Caverns. The house was immaculate and homey. We enjoyed the fireplaces outside and in. Thanks for providing so many essentials also!
This is by far one of the nicest homes I've ever stayed in. Everything about the stay was top notch, it's in a very nice neighborhood, great and quiet part of town. You won't be disappointed if you stay here!! The only complaint is more about VRBO and the way they do their listing, the listing price per night should include the hosting fee, makes it difficult when trying to select a house.
Definitely 5/5. Extremely clean. Great location in safe neighborhood. One Hour drive to Guadalupe NP and 40 minutes to Carlsbad Caverns NP. Prompt communication from owner. Would definitely recommend.

We love coming here, it really is our home away from home. Always clean!! Best Host Ever!!! She works with us all the time when our plans change.
Nice quiet neighborhood and very clean and modern house. The kitchen has everything needed to fix your meals. Bathrooms and bedrooms are large and clean. Landlord is easy to connect with if any issues arise. Highly recommended for a stay in Carlsbad.
It was a clean and spacious house, and very well decorated. The house had all the needed items in the kitchen. it was nice to have toiletries and games available. Plus, the neighborhood was quiet
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.

Fantastic place in Carlsbad
This is the second year in a row that we have stayed at this amazing home in Carlsbad. We highly recommend this place because it is convenient, quiet, and has everything you need for your vacation. We only have to bring food, clothes, and our hiking gear. It is an easy 30-minute drive to Carlsbad Caverns, and an hour to Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Lincoln National Forest. Jeannie is an amazing host with prompt response and answers questions right away. Her recommendations are great as well. If I could, I would duplicate this house on my own land because it is such a great layout and perfect for couples and families. We give it four thumbs up - all 4 of us loved it! We have two young adult sons and they were able to have a part of the house to themselves. The main bedroom and bathrooms suite were on the other side of house so we had privacy as well. We all came together for meals and down time in the living area. We highly recommend this place!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at the house in Carlsbad with the cozy grassy backyard and deck with ceiling fans. The house is in a quiet newer neighborhood, close to quaint older neighborhoods with large yards and farm animals and an easy drive into town and nearby highway. The house was well lit and comfortable with soft bedding/towels and great pots/pans, dishes, and microwavable containers and very clean but could have used reading lamps in the living room, more personalized and colorful art/decor, and some niceties like napkins/facial tissue, luggage racks, and a cheese grater. The master bath's shower wqs amazing, but we would have appreciated a grab bar for the bathroom. We didn't need heat or a/c during our stay. Dish TV worked great. The laundry center was very appreciated (including basket), as we didn't have to pack as much on our trip. We would have appreciated a chance to recycle, with the housekeeper bringing the recycling into town for guests. We recommend that the owner ceases using the plug-in air freshener in the home as the fragrance is overpowering for those sensitive to scents. The property was a short drive away from Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe National Park in Texas. Overall, we had a fun and relaxing time and recommend this house in Carlsbad to all.
