JACKRABBITS & ROADRUNNERS--CACTI & QUAIL-pets ok

This was my fifth time renting the casita. It has incomparable views, a convenient location, and is well-furnished. I highly recommend it.

Great views, quiet and secluded. Spectacular sun rises and sunsets. Very enjoyable.

The casita was charming, clean, and well-stocked with kitchen and bathroom necessities, and the view from the porch overlooking Las Cruces and the Organ Mountains was spectacular. Our hosts were welcoming, helpful, and most gracious, even leaving a chilled bottle of a good white wine, with glasses, in the fridge for us. The area was quiet, safe, and relaxing. And yes, there were jackrabbits, roadrunners, cacti and quail! We were there during the summer, so the days were very hot, but the casita was kept cool inside by two efficient air conditioners. In the evening, temperatures dropped and it was nice to sit on the porch. The casita is out of the way, on the outskirts of Las Cruces, but conveniently close to stores and restaurants. We would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a quiet, clean, accommodating, and quaint get-a-way.

This was my fourth time renting the casita. I love its view and location. The mountains are a beautiful sight to wake up to, and it's a convenient trip to stores and restaurants. I highly recommend it.

The property was clean, quiet, and mostly private, but I personally would not return. Prior to booking, I had read glowing reviews of the hosts’ hospitality which was why I selected it, but this was not my experience unfortunately. The hosts did not communicate promptly, respectfully, or proactively. There were were several interactions that made us feel unwelcome. In total, I stayed 30 days. After the first two days, they did not communicate with me aside from one weird incident where I was interrupted in the middle of a live work presentation to be scolded that I needed to move my car immediately, because ‘yesterday, the postal service had to maneuver around me.’ This was after I’d already been staying there and parking in that same spot for two weeks.’ No one was there at present and I explained that it was no problem, that I was in the middle of presenting but I would move it as soon as I can, however, she continued to talk over me outside of the front door, repeating and insisting that I walk over to deal with it. My coworker had to put my mic on mute because all of my students could hear her tone and were getting distracted. Five min into the presentation, I was interrupted again by the second host’s phone call regarding the same thing. There were other examples but you get the idea. Also, prepare to either enjoy the gorgeous view from the inside, or buy your own bug spray and use it continuously, otherwise you will get eaten up by gnats.

Peaceful, private, comfortably furnished, fully equipped, with a large patio and great views over the Mesilla Valley and Organ Mountains. Marian and Dick are gracious and generous hosts. The roadrunners, jackrabbits and quail are a bonus :)

This is my third time renting the casita, and I love it. You won't beat the views, the location is close to a lot, and the neighborhood is one of upscale homes spread out from each other with lots of natural beauty in between. The place offers a lot of privacy, but is an easy drive to coffee shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and hiking. The kitchen has everything that you need (I never wanted a blender so don't know if it had one), and the landlords are friendly. Highly recommend.

I found just what I was looking for. I knew the area and the fact that there are a few accommodations with the kind of view and serenity of this one. It is a small casita for one or two with a view of the Mesilla valley that is awesome. From the porch we watched the shadows turn the mountains purple at sunset. I hiked with my dog in the desert that is easily accessible. I saw jackrabbits everywhere, heard coyotes at night, caught a glimpse of a roadrunner and even saw javelinas from a distance. The casita is very clean and has all we need to be comfortable. The owners are really nice and will accommodate any needs. We plan to return and enjoy this wonderful home again.

Dick and Marian made us feel like old friends come to visit. Our dogs made friends with theirs and Marian treated ours like they were their own pets, always welcome in their yard and in the house. The casita has enough privacy and the view is to die for. Since we are now residents of Las Cruces, we look forward to seeing them often.

This property is in a beautiful neighborhood and has unbeatable views that includes a desert, mountains, and the city of Las Cruces. It's a convenient distance to excellent hiking and to businesses of every kind. The casita itself is cheerful and well-appointed and the landlords very obliging.
