Mesilla, New Mexico
Beautiful, private casita one block from the plaza. Historic charm with modern conveniences. Perfect for quiet retreat. Fenced flagstone patio in back yard fully equipped with gas grill, outdoor fireplace, outdoor dining area and french doors opening from the house. Large front yard fully enclosed. Full front porch creates shade for rocking chair. This house is peaceful but just steps from the fiestas and activities on the historical Mesilla Plaza. Shops and restaurants, an independent film theatre and a bookstore within two blocks. Boutique wine bar with a lovely shaded patio and live music less than a block away. The house is fully equipped with all amenities including everything for the novice chef. Air conditioned for summer comfort.
*After taking some time to long term rent this Property, we are back to vacation rentals!

casita provides a portrait of the Mesilla lifestyle.
The property is clean and cozy. There was a sewer smell when you first arrive (looks like a rock covers the sewer pipe). The outside is lit with solar lights which makes way for safe entry to the door at night. Was planning on having a BBQ but the grill did not look clean. Loved going for a bike ride from this location. Overall, it was a great weekend experience.
This is our second stay at this house in Mesilla, and we love it. Its clean and comfortable, and walking distance to town. We look forward to our next visit.
Yes, 10 stars! The most darling, magical little house right near Mesilla plaza. My first impression on walking into the house was how clean it was and the lovely aura of peace and tranquility I felt. The house is supplied with everything you could ever need. It's been awhile since I felt so content and relaxed, but the house brought me that. The neighborhood is very quiet, so nice to sit out in the evening in the front or back yard. At one point I locked myself out and I emailed the manager in a panic. Megan responded quickly and told me what I needed to do. So I give this property a very high recommendation and this Canadian plans to return next year. It's so perfect!
Very nice and very well equipped house. The house has everything that is needed, and then some. The location is great. Being in a historic neighborhood is good and bad. Most of the houses are very nice but as with any location there are some that are not so nice. Unfortunately the property right next door. We will stay here again.
We love our annual trip to Mesilla! We stayed at this casita several years ago and it was just as we remembered, very nice! The location is perfect for all we like to see and do there, very clean and comfy for the tow of us. Thanks for hosting again.
Warm and welcoming home that makes you feel like you never want to leave. Walking distance to square and great restaurants.
We were retracing the route we took on our honeymoon 50 years ago. The motel we originally stayed in was no longer available so we booked this precious adobe casita in Mesilla. Boy! Are we glad we did!!!! The only negative is that we couldn't stay longer! The pictures online DO NOT do this property justice! Whoever restored/updated this casita did an absolutely excellent job. All of the old charm still intact, but all the modern amenities available. The casita was spotless, the bed beyond comfortable. We would have loved to have spent a month here! It is within easy (even for my wonky knee!) walking distance to the plaza in Old Mesilla. Take note that there are no streetlights so if you are not planning on being back to the property before dark, just make sure you have a flashlight to help you see your way. There are some available for use at the casita. Neighborhood seems very safe; we had no worries about it even at our ages. We arrived after dark on the first night so had a bit of a problem seeing the number on the fence, but once we realized where we were it was no problem as the lights on the front of the house lit up the walkway very well as we unloaded. The only suggestion I would make is to maybe have a luggage rack available. That was truly the ONLY thing lacking in this amazing property!!! We love the Las Cruces/Mesilla area and hope to return soon to this precious casita!
We were in Mesilla as part of our extended vacation and were fortunate to stay at this property. The house was a perfect size for the two of us, was well-maintained, and very close to the Mesilla plaza and all that it offers (restaurants and coffee shops and a variety of stores all within easy walking distance). While we never felt we were not safe, it was a little unnerving the first night when we realized there were no streetlights away from the plaza! The host of the house actually has flashlights next to the front door as we found out when we got home! Nice touch. Will try to schedule this property again when we are in the area.
Spotless, esthetically pleasing, comfortable furniture and bed. Appreciated both patios and the washer and dryer. Will chose to return to this property in the future.
Cute little house, walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops & more! Everything was as listed, definitely recommend!!
outstanding ! We will be back
Just as described in listing. Clean, cozy and with everything you need to have an enjoyable stay in Old Mesilla. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you for sharing this wonderful property.
You can walk to many restaurants and shops from this location.
This little casita was very clean and was in the perfect location. The wifi and TV situation left something to be desired, though, with both having spotty reception. Otherwise, a great stay!
We spent a long weekend and loved the property. The house is very comfortable, has everything you need and a perfect walking dispatch to the square. The only negative comment is if you plan on using the couch bed, don't! Its extremely uncomfortable. The owner noted this is to be replaced soon. We hope to visit again next year!
We offer this review not so much as a statement of fact, but rather as a statement of considered opinion. It is our opinion that the only way to make a guest feel at home is to make your home feel like their home. We have never stayed at another VRBO (except for a large house shared with dear friends in Monterey Bay), which has been so beautifully arranged and perfectly appointed to make a short stay feel like walking out of your front door and into a world of friendly, happy people...sharing the best that Las Cruces and New Mexico has to offer. The only negative comment that we might have to offer is that we have looked to book this property again in two weeks, and it is not available for our dates....boo! We give it 5 Stars only because we aren't allowed to give it more. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
We loved this property. So clean with southwestern touches. Morgan is so gracious. You will not be disappointed.
Love the casita!
Very comfortable old home, well renovated and just a few steps from the plaza. We will definitely stay again.
Easy check in. Spacious front and back yard. Kitchen was stocked with everything youd need plus more.
