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.

Cool quiet oasis

The house was a lovely cool quiet oasis. This property was exactly as advertised. It has a great layout, well equipped kitchen , comfy beds and is in a beautiful little neighborhood right near NMSU. The restaurant recommendations steered us well. We loved walking around and looking at plants. Went to White Sands Monument for sunset which we really recommend. Gail was friendly and helpful. We will stay here again for sure if our kid chooses this university!
