Great location

We are a retired couple escaping winter and enjoying the sunshine of Las Cruces. During our stay we had friends visit, and had plenty of room with the 3 bedrooms.The home is exactly as shown in this listing. We even saw the Roadrunner on the back wall! We enjoyed the beautiful unobstructed view of the Organ Mountains, and at night the distant twinkling of the lights of Las Cruces. The sunrise over the mountains is stunning.As we were here 3 months, we set up housekeeping and enjoyed the spacious kitchen, the pantry and laundry, everything we needed to feel at home. The gas fireplace was great for cool evenings. The patio is a quiet and private space to relax.The location is excellent… the home is located in a safe and quiet neighborhood, with easy access to all the community has to offer. Our favorites were the Saturday morning market on Main Street, Old Mesilla, the many art galleries in Las Cruces and Mesilla, and hiking at Dripping Springs. There are so many great restaurants in the area, our favorites were El Sombrero and Hacienda. We enjoyed volunteering at Casa de Peregrinos food shelf, so if you’re here long enough, check them out.The owners were very responsive to resolve an issue we had with a bed frame, and had a new bed delivered that same day!

A great place to chill

We were exceptionally happy with our stay. The location was perfect for our desire to spend a few relaxing days in the Las Cruces area. The unit was clean and comfortable with all the amenities necessary. The app to open/close the garage door didn’t work but that was a minor inconvenience. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Picacho comfort

This is a very comfortable house. The view from the patio overlooking Las Cruces and the Organ Mountains is beautiful. We had an issue with activating the app for the garage door opener (could have been "operator error") but we worked around it. Overall, the property is exactly as advertised and we would recommend it to fellow travelers.

Picacho Paradise

Our vacation home was wonderful in every way. The view of the mountains was breathtaking, and the amenities were more than we expected. Our RENTAL AGENT, Erin was super helpful. The volume button on the television turned off and on often without help from us and had to be reset often. The windows needed a good bath, and the beautiful deck needed a good cleaning. Other than those minor problems, the stay was great. We were there for five weeks, so a garage door opener would have really been appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful vacation home!

Lovely Home

We spent the last two weeks in April in this lovely home. The amennities were great, like being at home. The back patio provided beautiful sunrises over the Organ Mountains while enjoying a cup of coffee. Sitting out there in the evening looking at the beautiful city lights was a wonderful way to end each day. I hope to return again in the future. My thanks to the Host for a lovely, serene two weeks.

Picacho Hill House

Overall the house is nice, a few things could make it better. For instance, there was no soap for the dishwasher, we had 2 rolls of toilet paper for an 8 day stay, only 4 paper table napkins. The living room has only overhead lighting, no table or floor lamps, which would make it more inviting. The property however, is in a quiet neighborhood, with great views of the mountains, and isn’t far from downtown or Mesilla.

Outstanding views

We stayed here during the Christmas holidays. It was the perfect choice. Beautiful sunrises overlooking fields and pecan trees. We enjoyed coffee on the porch every morning, and a glass of wine in the evenings with twinkling lights of Las Cruces in the distance. We will definitely be returning to enjoy this lovely home.

My husband and I were relaxed and comfortable during our week rental of Patricia’s home. The master suite is amazing, and I liked the high ceilings throughout. Each night we sat out on the patio to enjoy the breeze and night sky. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, we hope to be back and stay here again next year.
