Great stay. Highly recommend.
This place was like a home away from home. The owners have a very slick check-in process and everything was as promised. My only comment is that we were there to hike in Guadalupe Mountains NP and it was about a one hour drive to the trailheads (40 min to Carlsbad Caverns NP).

Desert oasis stay
Wonderful property in a great location. Easy access into Carlsbad and to sites we were interested in, including the caverns, Guadalupe Mountains NP and Roswell. Arrived to farm fresh eggs and muffins. The house is set up perfectly for families with a lot of extras, sleds for white sands, cooler, a mini market ( truly a great idea for guests who may have forgotten or lost items) game closet and much more. I really enjoyed the reading material on local birds and plants. It was so nice to get to a spacious, comfortable home after camping in Big bend for 3 days! Highly recommend.

Great Stay
This is a nice property outside of the bustle of Carlsbad. It’s a good midpoint for area National Parks and Roswell itineraries. The hosts go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable and accommodate your needs. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Perfect Base for Exploring Carlsbad
This house was perfect for me and my family. The house was beautiful and clean. There were even fresh muffins and eggs in the fridge when we arrived. It's very conveniently located close to Carlsbad, but far enough away that you have some privacy. It was the perfect base for us to explore the National Parks in this area.

Where do I begin…
This property is the next best thing to having access to your home, while on vacation! Cory and Bruce have thought of everything, and then some! The house and property are exactly as described. The amenities are over the top and better than any hotel can offer. From the well designed fire pit, to the variety of books and games, to outdoor seating complete with birds and chimes, there truly is something for everyone’s enjoyment! Of course, no review of this property is complete without a shoutout to those blueberry muffins, worth staying the weekend for, by themselves! 10 out of 10 highly recommend & would happily stay again!

Carlsbad trip
Great place to come home to every day after long days of exploring the area. Beds were comfortable as were the community spaces. We enjoyed our stay. Hosts communicate very well so we could be prepared. We were welcomed with fresh eggs and muffins which was so appreciated! Thank you!

Carlsbad National Park Seed Collection Crew
Cory & Bruce made our stay as comfortable and easy as possible. Cory gave special consideration to our schedule, which was unpredictable because it depended upon when the seeds would be ready at the park. This special attention is highly unusual and we are extremely grateful!

Fantastic!
This is the best VRBO experience we’ve had! Cory was very responsive and has an eye for the details. As many reviews referenced, she left us welcome muffins, gifts for the kids, and eggs from their hens. The house is just outside of Carlsbad and an east 45 minute ride to the caverns. It’s about 2.5 hours to White Sands. The hosts provide sleds and coolers to borrow for the day trip. The kitchen is very well stocked with any and everything you’d need for a trip away from home. They even have an ice cream scoop! A big bonus is the “honor” pantry. We didn’t use it, but they offer amenities for $, in case you’ve forgotten something (toothbrushes, deodorant, etc…) Communication was easy with the hosts via the app, and they were kind enough to accommodate a change in our stay at the last minute. All in all, we would happily stay here again, if ever we are in the area again.

Perfect Desert Oasis
Our family absolutely loved this place. From the fresh blueberry muffins to fresh farm eggs we felt welcomed and at home. The house was beautiful and cozy for all 6 of us. Perfect location to all local attractions. We highly recommend and will stay again when going to Carlsbad again. Cory and Bruce are excellent hosts.

Carlsbad Cavern Adventure
This was the perfect property for our cavern trip. Clean, private, and quiet. It is located a little bit outside of Carlsbad and about 45 minutes from the caverns, but an easy drive on the loop around town. There is also the Living Desert Zoo within 5 minutes of the property, which we also enjoyed visiting. Bruce and Cory were the perfect hosts. They left gift bags for the kids, blueberry muffins and fresh eggs. There was a gem and rock show at the Living Desert, which they invited us to attend. The kids especially enjoyed this and the swing, hammock and massage chair at the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. If we ever plan another trip nearby, we will definitely stay here again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
