Wonderful property, fantastic location

This property has it all - location, views, comfort, amenities, and a great host. We used the casita as a home base for trips to White Sands National Monument, historic Mesilla, downtown Las Cruces, and nearby towns. The property sits on the boundary of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument and offers easy access to great trails. The unobstructed view of the mountains from the casita is fantastic. The casita was well-equipped with everything we needed, and we appreciated the thoughtful gifts of wine, snacks, coffee and tea. Many thanks to host Marge for great communication before our stay, and for welcoming us to her casita.

Awesome Home and Hosts

Our stay was positively delightful. The property was amazing and our hosts were warm, responsive, and caring. The property is even better than advertised and the view of the Organ mountains is outstanding. Our hosts gave us excellent advice on area attractions, hiking, biking, museums, and dining. This was our first trip to New Mexico and we had an unforgettable time. We would strongly recommend this property to all future guests and we hope to return in the future!

Organ Mountain Casita

I cannot express adequately how utterly lovely both the casita and the hosts were during our lengthy stay. The property itself is absolutely first rate, the view of the Organs spectacular, but the real jewel is our hosts! I am hesitant to heap such praise because I am now worried that it won't be available when we would like to return to stay there, but this is a special place and the hosts are VERY special people!!! We are spoiled now!

Beautiful and Quiet

We stayed at Marge's place over Christmas and we loved it. We were welcomed with an amazing welcome package with different snacks and drinks. She set up a small tree and a few other festive items, which my daughter loved! The Casita was clean, quiet, and comfortable. We have family close by but prefer our own space. We will definitely be staying here again.

Truly a work of art

This place, by far, is the best place to stay in the LC area of you're looking for true peace and quiet while still wanting to be close to the city. It's incredibly comfortable, the sheets and towels are soft and the shower is HUGE, and there are a very nice washer and dryer available for use. We rested listening to the coyotes at night and woke up to the sunrise over the Organ mountains in the morning. It was truly perfect. We used the Casita as a home base while we visited in El Paso and the surrounding areas. It's quite easy to get to and convenient to the main highway (but not too near). We can't wait to come back!!

Perfect

Great view of the Organ Mountains and only a short drive to/from any point in Las Cruces. Owners made us feel welcome in the mother-in-law casita attached to the main house. The 'welcome basket' was better than others we've received at B&Bs. We will certainly return on our next visit to Las Cruces.

Eye Candy

The ever changing metamorphosis of the Organ Mountains was the highlight of this trip. Perfect location for photographers, artists and writers. The casita is well appointed and decorated perfectly for a couple. Plenty pf hiking spots nearby and places to see to keep us busy for a month. Marguerite and Bill were gracious and helpful hosts. We enjoyed it so much we already signed up for next year when we are ready to escape the Midwest Winters.
