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.
Quite a find: A quick drive from town/tourism to a tranquil and lush 135-degree city lights view seen from the near-solitude of the spacious covered patio and casita--feel like a baron. Everything one/couple needs for an active or isolated enjoyable and memorable stay; experienced, gracious hosts.
Special and homey place. Great views of valley. Made trip much easier.
This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in when it comes to hosts. Dick and Marian were wonderful. Their home is next to the guest Casita but separated by a rock wall and bushes for total privacy. However they are available for anything you need. I was having back and leg problems while I was there. Marian leant me a cane and a massager to help me during my stay! They gave us all kinds of tips on places to see and places to eat. The Casita itself was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. It was small but very comfortable. The view from the living room looked over the valley and the Organ mountains. We sat on the patio and enjoyed some spectacular sunrises and sunsets. It is located in a secluded location but is close to Old Mesilla and Las Cruces. We couldn't have been happier with this VRBO and highly recommend it.
Great stay, views are best feature of this property in very nice and quiet area. Clean and functional with nice outdoor area to relax. Owner is right next door but not intrusive, feel as if you have private accommodations. Just outside of town but close to everything in town. Only good for 1 or 2 people as the size is a little small, esp. the bedroom. Not a problem for us, we'll definitely be back.
Having sold our home in California, we needed a place to stay until our new home was ready. Dick & Marian’s casita was just enough for the two of us. The views are amazing, Old Mesilla is close by and has lots to see and do, and Dick and Marian were the consummate hosts. They were always responsive, always available if we needed anything, and are truly two of the nicest people we’ve met.
