Great place to stay!
This 1940s house was perfect for our needs. The location is in the original settlement of Alamogordo. It was clean, quaint yet with modern internet, TV, etc. Our host, Kristi, was great. We would return to this property.

Wonderful property
This property is a little gem - and a refreshing change from ultra-modern rentals. The property was spotlessly clean, everything worked and the original floors were superb. It may look a little grubby outside, but it is in a dusty and windy environment. Book it and you will not be disappointed.

The house is large, kitchen was really stocked with condiments and goodies. Great spots to sit outside and drink coffee in the back yard or porch. Beds are comfortable as is the furniture. Everything was squeaky clean.

Cute, cozy, clean and centrally located
We stayed here for a week while visiting many different areas in SW and Central NM. It was a good location to take day trips to places like Las Cruces, Roswell and the Trinity site. The home is tastefully decorated, clean, comfortable and well stocked. The back yard is cute and we were encouraged to use some of the herbs and veggies that were ripe for pickin. There was plenty of room for four to sleep (a master and spare room) and to also dine and lounge. Pretty much any store you need is just a few minutes away. Overall is a cute house that has been up-kept and is a good central location to explore southern New Mexico from. We would stay here again.

Wonderful ten day stay at this property which has everything and more. Charming historical and tastefully decorated home with plentry of yard space where we picked delicious apples and a great number of cherry tomatoes to enjoy while cooking in the well stocked kitchen. Central air conditioning worked beautifully.

Charming Cottage
Lovely updated 1940s house. Loved the white paneled doors and glass door knobs on the front door. Lots of charm throughout and tastefully furnished and decorated. Welcoming touches like fresh cut flowers, chocolates, and coffee. Plenty of room, comfortable King bed, plenty of towels, hot water, kitchen fully equipped and everything very clean. Most importantly, I felt very safe. The home is fully fenced, private patio area. Great for our dogs. Located in a quiet family neighborhood. Kristi & John we’re nice and responsive. Location convenient to everything, ie. Holloman AFB, White Sands, restaurants, Pistachio farms & Wineries. Also, near Lowe’s Market which has everything from groceries to a bar with live entertainment! I highly recommend this property and would stay again.

Practically perfect in every way
Charming home in a perfect location. Plenty of room for hosting family during our visit. Clean, quiet and full of little touches that made our stay extra special. Alexa, phone chargers, smart TV, extra linens and even some food items were available for use. Our granddaughter especially loved the Disney+ subscription and affectionately named the house “casita.” The beds were comfortable and we never ran out of hot water 😊 The hosts were just at text away when we had a question. We would recommend this property to anyone visiting Alamogordo and plan to stay here again in the future!

We loved everything about this southwest house. It was clean, decorated so tastefully and had all the amenities we could want. Location was centrally located to restaurants and grocery stores. We love to hike and it was a great location for that too. Has a fenced in front and back yard which was great for our dog. Hosts were excellent help with any questions we had. We hope to make it back again! Our stay here worked out perfect!

Updated and comfortable home
This home is very centrally located and an ease to get around to activities and restaurants. We enjoyed the full kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a third bedroom which was used as an office with an exercise machine. We were able to park along the side street under a carport and felt safe even leaving articles in our car since we were driving cross country. It doesn’t take long to feel comfortable in a home away from home. Full laundry room which was helpful on our halfway point in our trip. Stay a few days are adventure around Alamogordo, White Sands National Park and fun little towns that are a short drive.

You’ll Never Want to Leave!!
I come to the area quite frequently to visit my grandfather and have stayed in quite a few properties in Alamogordo. Not only is this property’s location great, but you seriously couldn’t ask for nicer hosts or a better home! Kristi and John are so incredibly kind and the house has every amenity you could ask for! Upon arrival the place was clean and organized. It’s a GREAT space; comfortable with plenty of blankets to snuggle with, and peaceful so you can relax and unwind after whatever the day has thrown at you! It is very tastefully decorated, not like with useless random items just to fill the space with either, but with things that make you feel like you’re really at home - and the hospitality to match! Next time I come back to town I won’t search for another property.
