Yellow Brick home! huge yard! beautiful home

MandyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Let me tell you how cozy and at home we were…… our dogs loved the pet door, huge back yard for them to play, we bar b q’d and sat out next to fire pit. Inside was cozy, clean, roomy and warm or cool when needed. Kitchen was great, big gas stove and oven and huge refrigerator had ice maker with dispenser for water and ice, I personally loved that. Jacob and Chris are wonderful host! Very responsive and kind. Thanks guys for making us feel at home!

Cozy Cottage 2BD - Traveler's Haven

KatherineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Great alternative to a hotel in Carlsbad! We booked this very last minute as we were driving and Jen was able to make it happen for us right away! We appreciated the offstreet parking and the little fenced yard for pups. We felt quite secure in the house. It was cozy and homey with lots of beautiful decorations just like a home should be. It was a lovely comfortable overnight stop for us!

Spacious 4 bedroom, 3 full bath home. Sleeps 9!

SoniaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Andrea’s home was amazing and just what we were looking for. It was squeaky clean and fresh, had many more thoughtful amenities than we typically see, and was so convenient to Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Andrea was also a wonderful host who was very proactive in providing all the information we needed. We felt like we were staying with friends and would highly recommend this home to others!
