Welcome to Dad's Hangout. House was purchased for me to live in. When my daughter didn’t want me to move out it became dad’s hangout. When purchased the house was bank owned. The house was unlivable when purchased. The work on the house was centered on trying to reuse as much as possible. The house has a way to go for completion but is ready to rent.

Located in a 1950's area of town. Home is centrally located in a Quiet Neighborhood. Close to shopping and restaurants. Go South for Old Town with local merchants and family-owned dining establishments. Or go East for a modern experience. Mostly chain restaurants and shopping. Also, the mall is located there. Thrill-seekers can try a range of adventure sports while our museums, shops, and galleries are perfect for those looking for something a little gentler.

With its new plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical service the house is safe and comfortable. Located in a quiet neighborhood and close to shopping.

2 bedrooms with Queen beds and black out curtains. One bedroom has TV, extra blankets, space heater, iron, luggage stand, and ironing board. The other room has an adjustable bed. The living/dining room has WIFI, 65 TV, stereo system and small futon. Futon can be used for an extra bed. Large Kitchen with breakfast bar has all the amenities needed for meals. Drip coffee maker with complementary coffee. All new bathroom with tub/shower and hair drier. Linen closet has plenty of towels and first aid kit. Laundry room includes. Washer, drier, and soap.
Outdoor living is now available. New concrete patio with cover in back. Table with 4 chairs on patio. Patio also has a propane barbecue, Bluetooth speakers, and fire pit with wood. The front has seating for 2 with small table. Smoking allowed in outside areas. Please clean up ash trays. Added safety feature. Interior locks have been installed on all exterior doors. Update 11/8/2024: Due to changing laws VRBO has requested me to cancel additional fees. Cleaning fee has been removed. The cleaning fee was in place to discourage one-night stays. I have changed to a minimum of two-night stays. Pet fee has been removed. No more pets allowed at this time. If you have already booked a stay with pets that is okay.

    Perfect condition. The owner did a complete renovation and thought of all the details. Well equipped to a degree not experienced before, well organized, and very, very clean. Owner very communicative and helpful. New furniture and comfortable bed. Orientation book was complete and very helpful. Comfortable seating inside and out with shaded patio. Interesting garden with massive watermelons, tomatoes, pears and cantelopes in back yard.

    #1: I'm a solo woman and senior traveler with handicap issues at which safe community and housing is my highest priority. #2: Affordability is 2nd as for reasons listed above; however, I can not sacrifice quality of where I will be staying. It must have modern amenities, TV's in bedroom as well as living area, and a fenced in yard or area for my service dog is a HUGE bonus. #3: I need to be close to the destination of my trip so I can attend and enjoy my trip without having to fight traffic or run down neighborhoods.#4: I must be able to communicate with my host often and from booking to checkout. My host must be attentive and reactionary to me when I try to communicate with them #5: the home/rental must be well stocked with needed items such as linens, towels, basic kitchen and bathroom items such as for the kitchen; salt, pepper, oil, paper towels, self cleaning items like dish soap and for bathroom, toilet paper and shampoo, etc. #6: I completely expect for the place I select to stay, to be as advertised AND to look like all the photos provided in the advertisement.I am so happy to say; Dad's Hangout gets a 5 star check off on all categories I have listed! It is exactly as advertised and then some. I was made aware that although it has a nice large, fenced in backyard, he still had work he needs to do on it (PLEASE NOTE: it still fit my needs and didn't interfere with my use).Thank you Dale I hope that your place is available for my next visit.

    Dad’s House was the perfect location for our 3-night stay. The house was VERY clean, comfortable beds, well stocked with towels and the kitchen had everything we needed. We ate our dinners on the back patio, and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. Dale was attentive and conscientious. We would definitely stay there again if we chance to be in Farmington again. Only negative was a uneven sidewalk in the front where you exit your vehicle, but it looks like it is being worked on.

    Travel Agent recommended! My kids and I enjoy vacation rentals when traveling and of the three we've stayed in this year, this is the only one we didn't want to leave. It was comfortable, clean, updated, well stocked with kitchen, linen, and toiletry items, felt spacious for a two bedroom, close to restaurants, shopping, and fun. We appreciated the host's recommendation for Berg Park, too. We will return and now, I have a great place and experiences to provide to clients going to Farmington!

    The house was clean and in excellent condition. The kitchen had many appliances and utensils available for use and a supermarket is 2 minutes away. The laundry room was well stocked. Farmington is a wonderful town with local eateries and national store chains. It is also a great location for various day trips. We got a lot of hiking in. Communication with the owner was a breeze. We would highly recommend Farmington & this house to anyone traveling to the Four Corners area.

    We enjoyed a wonderful visit to Dad's Hangout in Farmington, New Mexico, September 15-18, 2024. Dad's Hangout is offered by Dale Niehaus. It is a fabulously renovated home, in a quiet peaceful neighborhood that is a great place to stay. Dale has gone several extra miles to make sure his guests are welcome, comfortable, and have everything needed for a relaxing, memorable visit. First, the house and neighborhood. Dad's Hangout has been completely renovated and remodeled! Think of PBS's, This Old House, series where an older house is transforemd from its aging weariness to a place that is your dream home. That is Dad's Hangout! What a delight. Beautifully tiled floors, lovely remodeled kitchen, luxurious bedrooms, great remodeled bathroom, exceptionally comfortable, tasteful furniture, and the list goes on. Dale's attention to amenities is remarkable. As an example, in the kitchen coffee in premeasured coffee packets for the coffee maker that make a perfect cup of coffee, sweetners and creamers, bottled spring water, and a remodeled kitchen one dreams about. Beautiful, functionality. Utilityroom with new appliances, lovely dining room with a great table, huge television with all sorts of functions. Covered patio with gas grill and table and chairs. The Farmington area has numerous attractions to enjoy as well as solid restaraunts. We apprecaite Dale's efforts to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you! Farmington and Dad's Hangout is on our 2025 to do list.

    Our stay in the apartment was absolutely perfect! The communication with the landlord was flawless, all responses were very quick, friendly, and helpful. The apartment was exceptionally clean and located in a quiet, pleasant neighborhood. All shopping facilities were near distance, which made our stay even more comfortable. The location of the apartment was an ideal starting point for our trips in the area. We were especially impressed with the excellent amenities – everything needed for daily use and cooking was provided. The host were incredibly kind and responsive, providing clear instructions. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home. I highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking for a relaxing, stress-free holiday. We had a fantastic time and would definitely return in the future! Thank you, Dale!!!
