Great location for Carlsbad and Guadalupe National Parks!
Our family was looking for a place to stay to visit Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe National parks. This place ended up being perfect! There was plenty of space for our family of 5 and the property had every amenity we could need.

Lovely home! Bruce and Cory do a wonderful job of providing a great place to stay. The blueberry muffins were delicious and a nice welcoming treat. The place is well maintained, clean and with great amenities. The king bed was very comfortable. We drove to both Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks from here. Highly recommend!

Carlsbad Caverns Getaway
When we first pulled up to the property we were impressed by how nice it looked. The inside was completely warm and welcoming with so many personal touches by the hosts, from the best blueberry muffins and fresh eggs waiting for you to the specially folded towels in the bedrooms. The host went above and beyond providing for and anticipating their guests needs. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Great place to stay!
My family I stayed here during a vacation to Carlsbad Caverns NP, White Sands NP, and Guadalupe Mountains NP. We were greeted with fresh muffins and eggs from the hosts’ chickens. It was very clean and organized. Everything we could possibly need was provided including walking sticks, a backpack, sleds and wax for the dunes at White Sands, and an ice chest. For those with kids, there was a high chair and a pack play. There was a closet full of both indoor and outdoor games that we thoroughly enjoyed. There was a great outdoor space for the kids to play and for the adults to enjoy also. Plenty of space for a large family. No complaints here! Would highly recommend.

Great stay. Highly recommend.
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).

Desert oasis stay
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. Arrived to farm fresh eggs and muffins. The house is set up perfectly for families with a lot of extras, sleds for white sands, cooler, a mini market ( truly a great idea for guests who may have forgotten or lost items) game closet and much more. I really enjoyed the reading material on local birds and plants. It was so nice to get to a spacious, comfortable home after camping in Big bend for 3 days! Highly recommend.

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.

Where do I begin…
This property is the next best thing to having access to your home, while on vacation! Cory and Bruce have thought of everything, and then some! The house and property are exactly as described. The amenities are over the top and better than any hotel can offer. From the well designed fire pit, to the variety of books and games, to outdoor seating complete with birds and chimes, there truly is something for everyone’s enjoyment! Of course, no review of this property is complete without a shoutout to those blueberry muffins, worth staying the weekend for, by themselves! 10 out of 10 highly recommend & would happily stay again!

Cory & Bruce made our stay as comfortable and easy as possible. Cory gave special consideration to our schedule, which was unpredictable because it depended upon when the seeds would be ready at the park. This special attention is highly unusual and we are extremely grateful!

Fantastic!
This is the best VRBO experience we’ve had! Cory was very responsive and has an eye for the details. As many reviews referenced, she left us welcome muffins, gifts for the kids, and eggs from their hens. The house is just outside of Carlsbad and an east 45 minute ride to the caverns. It’s about 2.5 hours to White Sands. The hosts provide sleds and coolers to borrow for the day trip. The kitchen is very well stocked with any and everything you’d need for a trip away from home. They even have an ice cream scoop! A big bonus is the “honor” pantry. We didn’t use it, but they offer amenities for $, in case you’ve forgotten something (toothbrushes, deodorant, etc…) Communication was easy with the hosts via the app, and they were kind enough to accommodate a change in our stay at the last minute. All in all, we would happily stay here again, if ever we are in the area again.

Carlsbad Cavern Adventure
This was the perfect property for our cavern trip. Clean, private, and quiet. It is located a little bit outside of Carlsbad and about 45 minutes from the caverns, but an easy drive on the loop around town. There is also the Living Desert Zoo within 5 minutes of the property, which we also enjoyed visiting. Bruce and Cory were the perfect hosts. They left gift bags for the kids, blueberry muffins and fresh eggs. There was a gem and rock show at the Living Desert, which they invited us to attend. The kids especially enjoyed this and the swing, hammock and massage chair at the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. If we ever plan another trip nearby, we will definitely stay here again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Where do I start. The location is great, the neighborhood is quiet, the views/scenery is breathtaking. The house is well maintained, clean, and cozy. The hosts have thought of absolutely everything. They went above and beyond making my children feel welcomed by providing each of them with a welcome bag containing a few goodies. The fresh eggs and blueberry muffins were a great touch and delicious. Highly recommending this place to anyone staying or passing through Carlsbad. You won’t be disappointed.

This house was great. Clean, all the needed kitchen gizmos for cooking and grilling out. It even had an commissary. Owners surprised our group with fresh eggs, homemade blueberry muffins and even jalapeno poppers. It was perfect for us as we hiked during the day and came back to prop up and relax in the evening.

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!

Best stay
I have rented VRBO listings for dozens of stays throughout the United States and several stays in Europe. In all my travels these owners in Carlsbad were the most thoughtful host and hostess I’ve ever encountered in terms of little things they provided that made one feel welcome and appreciated. As an example, there were fresh baked muffins awaiting us as well as fresh gathered eggs. The property was accurately described and spotless. I highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the Carlsbad, New Mexico area.

This amazing house created the perfect, quiet getaway for my family. It had enough rooms for everyone to have their own private space and the living area was big enough for all 6 of us to enjoy. The property owners are very responsive and welcoming. We were greeted with fresh baked muffins and eggs. It is close to town for the attractions but far enough away to feel like you are in the country. Thank you for an amazing vacation!
