Great Place - Terrible Host

Nice property and location. Horrible host. We have stayed in Alamogordo and Ruidoso multiple times for the past two years without issue. I admit we made a mistake by not bagging all trash and rectified the mistake immediately by picking up the trash and disposing of it ourselves. I don't think this warranted an ALL CAPS email lambasting us for the mistake. That should have indicated what kind of host we had. This is the only place out of at least 14 VRBO and Air BB rentals we have stayed, for the past two years, that we have had any issue with. Now we are being blamed for breaking a nightstand and a painting and leaving a GIANT mess. The only photos produced are a few spots on the floor and a couch??? I did not receive any photos of the alleged broken items. In fact we re-hung a piece of artwork that was falling down off the wall upon arrival. We are taking pictures of every space from now on when we arrive and leave a place. I do not want to have false charges added to our credit card with no evidence. We were also blamed for a faulty ice maker.

Stunning Secluded Southwestern Stay!!

Pictures do not do this place justice!!! Often times listings look way better in photos. That’s definitely not the case here. Upon arrival we were blown away with how the house was nestled up near the top of the hillside and the expansiveness of the property. With 3 young children, between two families, we appreciated the secludedness. It felt very safe and the kids got to enjoy a sleepover in their own room. Win-win for everyone! The house is tastefully decorated, with good quality wood furniture and has a wonderful Southwestern vibe. The beds were all super comfortable and we loved having all the cozy furniture in the living area to hang out. The extra amenities such a soap in the showers, extra toilet paper, trash bags and even laundry supplies were all unexpected bonuses. We came in at dark our first night but overlooking the city lights is really cool! We got an incredible sunset our last night and the view really is amazing as described. This stay was the end leg of a 3000+ mile road trip and we almost cancelled the 2nd night of our two night stay to get home sooner. So glad we didn’t! If was the perfect culmination of a great trip. Edward the host responds to all inquiries/messages almost immediately. Communication is top-notch! Hope to visit again someday and will stay here no doubt!

Great Escape

This was a perfect respite from a stressful job back home. Just sitting with a cup of tea while looking out the large picture window, overlooking the town and seeing White Sands in the distance was calming. The mentions of the beautiful sunsets weren’t exaggerated. Actually being at White Sands one evening at sunset and watching the colors of the sky and mountains change was awesome. My son was even impressed. :) Speaking of which, the purpose of the trip was to see him and provide a Thanksgiving meal for him and a few of his fellow Airmen. The house pretty much had everything I needed in terms of dishes, utensils, pots, pans, serving dishes and even turkey platters! The dishwasher, washer and dryer all worked great and were very handy. We only used two of the bedrooms and both beds were really comfortable. The master bedroom had a beautiful view, a large closet and a nice vanity area and bathroom. The decor throughout the house was very nice and colorful and definitely set a southwestern vibe. As for things to do, I visited the Space History Museum and Planetarium that can be seen from the house. It was worth the time. We also drove to Ruidoso, a cute mountain town about an hour away. The pine forest is such a contrast to the rocky, desert mountains. I didn’t get to see any elk or moose but we did see snow falling and covering the trees. Seeing the snow reflected in the holiday lights leaving the casino and heading back to Alamogordo was icing on the cake.

Overall nice place

Overall this was a nice place! To start with the pros: Location is great up on a hill with lovely views. It is quiet without any traffic noise. You can safely take a walk on the street for exercise. The house has plenty of room. Cons: I was very taken aback by receipt of an email the day before arrival stating they don't do dishes and there will be a $50 dish cleaning fee on top of the already charged cleaning fee when booking. Not that this is a huge deal as we always load dishes in the dishwasher upon leaving but their dishwasher appeared to start but didn't run the day before, and there are no directions so just beware you need to ensure the red light below stops blinking to make sure it's running or you may be charged extra! I just feel this is underhanded as not disclosing all fees until 1 day before check in doesn't seem right. If you don't agree with them by that time they know your options are limited. The listing says it has a grill, this does not mean a BBQ grill. It means a griddle by the stove that does not heat up fast. Not a misrepresentation just a mis-assumption on our part. The light in the master closet does not work. There is a loose step cover on the first flight of stairs that should probably be looked at as it is wobbly under your feet when walking up. The noise from people talking downstairs echoes loudly to the upstairs bedroom. This is just how some houses are, just to be aware for other light sleepers out there. Overall met our needs.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

This place is incredible! Clean, beautiful, well appointed AND views that are so beautiful! We loved staying in this home. It is gorgeous and very private. We could wake up and watch the colors change on the distant mountains. Sunsets take place right before your eyes while enjoying a glass of wine on the patio. We LOVED this property. Close to so much, yet quiet and peaceful and away from the crowds. If I am ever in the area again, I would book this home in a heartbeat! We loved our stay at this VRBO property. The hosts really get how to make strangers feel at home.

Beautiful property!

This is one of the nicest VRBO properties I have ever stayed at ( and I have stayed at many!). The house is quite large and has several outdoor seating areas. The views are fantastic, including the sunsets and starry night sky’s. The king bed in the primary bedroom was very firm and comfy, and the shower had great water pressure. While only my husband and I stayed there, this house would have been perfect for 2-3 couples, or a family with a few kids! Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Great base for White Sands visit

Stayed just a couple of days for a visit to White Sands National Park. Great location up on the hillside.-great views. We were there during a high wind warning that kicked up an amazing amount of sand—cool to watch the city of Alamogordo disappear and then reappear as the winds kicked up and then receded later in our stay. House was clean, well supplied. Easy process.
