Majestic Hikers Retreat

The bedrooms were very spacious, great kitchen, great back yard for grilling with a nice patio!

The check in info and communication came via text message which was super convenient. Some delay in replies. The house was spacious with plenty of rooms, a great family dining area, and large comfortable beds. We appreciated the ability to do laundry during our brief stay. The house and furniture are a bit dilapidated (upholstery falling apart, ice machine broken) and it was not sparkling clean (showers dirty, dishes dirty, foul smell near laundry area and bathrooms). Overall it met our needs as a stop over after a long day hiking and traveling.

Place was clean and beds were comfy

The house was perfect for our 6-adult crew. All 4 bedrooms have king-size beds and TVs, and stayed relatively cool both days. There were plenty of pans, utensils and spices to use for cooking. There are a few things that could use some updating, but overall it was a nice place. The host was quick to answer any questions that came up. I'm sure the neighborhood is quiet most of the time, but we were there for the 4th lol side note - Carlsbad has an amazing drone and fireworks display! I would book there again :)

The beds were comfortable, but we had to remake 2 out of 4 beds because the sheets were still dirty sheets. In general, the property was not clean. The floors were dirty, some of the rooms had an RV bathroom sewage smell. We booked one night since we were passing through and this was the most affordable option on our way, and that was all we'd want to stay. The property needs some work, but has a lot of potential. It seems that there's a history of the cleaning crew not cleaning well based on previous reviews and communicating with the host. Manageable for one night, but we wouldn't stay any longer. It was definitely a value stay.

So family won’t let me live this one down for awhile. The family of raccoons living in the attic were a little over the top. I should have read previous reviews because it has been an ongoing problem. We ended up cutting the stay short. Don’t ever leave a negative review but I would want some transparency before I booked this rental.

Nice house! We needed 4 beds and all of them were in their own rooms.I'd stay there again with no hesitation!

Cute small older house-updates have been made. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well supplied. Host responded promptly and was very helpful.

Neighborhood was decent. House was neat and tidy except for random bits (e.g., a few legos) in the backyard. There's a nice backyard deck where we ate a couple meals. Location is great -- decent distance to Carlsbad Caverns! There are TVs in every bedroom, a dining room, and the living room. Overall, a nice experience.

The house was comfortable for our large family and sufficient for a quick overnight stay. There were some signs of disrepair but everything was functional and the beds were comfortable.
