Experience True New Mexico in this traditional Adobe home in Carlsbad. Built in the 1920s, this home has been lovingly updated to modern standards while keeping its rustic charm. Wood ceilings, southwestern decor, & thick adobe walls for peace and quiet. Upstairs there is a kitchen, large living room with 2 sofas & formal dining room. Downstairs in the daylight basement, 3 bedrooms with 2 queen beds & 2 twins. Sleeps up to 8 guests! Great location- walk to Albertsons or CVS or restaurants!

We love this house because it feels so sturdy and cozy, like it's been here a 100 years ( because it has!) but it still has the modern amenities. It has both central air& heat (upstairs only) and mini split AC units in each bedroom( downstairs). Thick adobe walls keep the noise of the world and the New Mexico wind out, so it is peaceful and quiet inside. The location is safe and convenient- walkable to the center hub of town, but on a well lit residential street set back from the main road. We are about 30 minutes from the caverns.

Upstairs we have the living room with dark rustic wood ceilings and original hardwood floors decorated with comfy leather chesterfield sofas ( sleep 2 people if your group has 8), antique coffee table and southwestern pottery/ art/ rugs. The home has WiFi and TV with Roku lets you login to your streaming accounts. There is a stocked kitchen with stainless steel large fridge, dishwasher, and electric range. We provide coffee and tea and spices to get you started, and the little eat-in area seats 2. More seating in the spacious formal dining room with vintage dining set. Access to the backyard is through the kitchen to the large shady fully fenced yard and back patio.

Downstairs in the daylight basement there are three bedrooms ( two queen beds, two twin beds) and the full bathroom. Bedrooms have solid wood bedframes, fluffy cotton European duvets and fuzzy throw blankets, plenty of space, desk/ seating areas, and a few toys for the kids. In the bathroom, we provide body wash, shampoo, and conditioner plus fresh clean towels for our guests.

See our guidebook for tips and suggestions of what to do during your stay. Our Home is professionally cleaned and we pay our cleaners a living wage, so you help the local economy by staying here, plus you get an authentic New Mexico experience! Local hosts are responsive and ready to give tips on the local area or address any issues or concerns.

    Property is fair overall, but had cockroaches. I’d recommend getting the property sprayed for bugs.

    The stay was fantastic!! The AC kept the entire upstairs cool and the 3 bedrooms in the basement stayed extremely cool— almost cold! But don’t worry, there are extra blankets in the hall closet! The kitchen was clean and tidy and cooking was a breeze! The ice maker did not work during our stay so we did buy a LOT of ice for our drinks!! The back yard is fenced in and our four legged creature (Echo) loved it! Plenty of room to chase her ball! The neighborhood is quiet- next to a school, across from a church, and we had no issues or problems! There is a gas station/quickstop, grocery store, and a CVS all within a few blocks. Traffic was light, and driving was easy. I would definitely stay again! The house and neighborhood are fantastic!!

    My traveling group consisted of my boyfriend and I and our dog (our baby). The house had everything we needed, even a good sized backyard. Location was close to Albertsons which was perfect. We loved the style, like a western, cabin like feel to it. We would stay here again. Thank you!

    Nice enough - lots of space. The only complaint was the steep stairs to the bedrooms and no baby gate. There was also a rather big step to get to the shower and toilet which seemed a bit odd/dangerous especially for kids/people with mobility issues.

    This adobe home is beautiful, charming, and has a good yard for a dog. Our only concern was there was a homeless man camped out on the yard right outside the chain link fence. Though he did not bother us, our dog wanted to bark at him and it's not a view you would like to see when pating for a vacation stay. yard right

    There were essential needs that were not provided:1. No paper towels in kitchen2. No tissues in bathrooms3. No mirrors in any of the bedrooms so one could not get thoroughly dressed and hair combed as the two bathrooms were usually occupied4. Something like coffee was provided but it tasted awful and we had no idea what it was5. One of the queen-sized bedrooms had nothing to place a suitcase on and so it was put on the floor and hard to accessThese issues may not sound important but they were very important to our comfort.

    First stay in Carlsbad. The location of the home was great, it was close to a grocery store, pharmacy and a variety of restaurants. The home itself had everything we needed. It was very spacious, everyone had their own bed.Each bedroom had its own air unit, so we were able to customize our temperature. The beds felt great after a couple days of hiking. We enjoyed having our meals together at the spacious dining room table. It was quite clean and overall the house was in good shape. Nothing was broken or dirty, and we felt very comfortable during our stay. Would recommend it.

    This house is an adobe style home on the outside but is remodeled inside. It has a large fenced yard for a dog or small children. There is a cement deck in the backyard to put outdoor furniture to sit outside. The 3 bedrooms are downstairs in a daylight basement which means that the rooms should be cooler in the summer--important in a place where 100 degrees is common. One full bathroom downstairs and a toilet room upstairs. The downstairs bath is large but awkward as the toilet and bath are elevated from the rest of the room because of plumbing. Living area is large and has 2 couches. Separate dining room has a large table and 6 chairs. House was clean and beds were comfortable.

    The place itself has potential but there were issues. It was not properly clean upon arrival. The floor, the dishes, the sheets and other items lacked proper cleaning. There was grinds in the coffee pot from the last time it was made and it takes at least 1 and 1/2 hour to brew a pot. The tea pot still had water in it. The grass was mowed outside but was all over the cement areas for the patio. The patio furniture had to be cleaned before you could sit in it. The neighborhood was poor. There were homeless people around, people racing cars at all hours nearby. No ammenaties around beyond what was in the place you would want to partake of. We stayed in 5 different cities on as part of a long trip we took. This was the lowest rated place we stayed. To be fair our second lowest rating also went to place in New Mexico. The issue of homelessness seems to be part of New Mexico itself no matter where you go. So not solely due to this place but we will not be visiting any place in New Mexico in the foreseeable future.
