The space
We have steps between the different spaces within the suite. Because of the multiple levels in our historic home, the space is not wheelchair accessible. Please note that while there is a fireplace, it is currently non-functioning. We hope to have it working in the near future! Also, while we do not have cable TV, you can access movies and shows through our Hacienda Netflix account or login to your own account while you are with us! Pricing is for 2 guests. Additional weekly housekeeping fees are required ($25) for long-term stays to maintain a clean and comfortable space.

Guest access
The suite is also appointed with comfy robes and slippers. Our yard offers areas to sit and enjoy the outdoors. And, our covered porch is available to our guests. In 2023 we built a lovely pool and hot tub area on the property as well.

Other things to note
To protect the integrity of this historic compound, we have refrained from renovations and have embraced the original nature of the architecture. If you are looking for a pristine and more modern environment, the charm of this space may not be for you. If you would like to step into an authentic southwest experience, this is the place for you! Also, weekly housekeeping fees are required ($25) for long-term stays to maintain a clean and comfortable space.

Neighborhood highlights

Alameda-Depot neighborhood is centrally located and within walking distance to downtown, parks, restaurants, performance theaters, yoga, post office, museums, and farmer's market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We recommend MEW+Company downtown for private arts/crafts classes and shopping; we recommend Willow+Blaine for delicious downtown meals, within walking distance. Ruby Sun is a spa one block over that we really enjoy walking to for treatments. Book ahead and ask for a first-time discount.

Lives in Las Cruces, New Mexico
Welcome to Hacienda de las Cruces. We hope you enjoy your stay. Originally the home of Numa and Clara Frenger at the turn of the 20th century, this downtown gem has become our home and we look forward to sharing it with you. We love the outdoors, biking, hiking and walking wherever our visits downtown take us.
