SAMPLE REVIEWS FROM AIRBNB
- The casita was beautiful and the enclosed yard was greatly appreciated for our dogs. Really nice tv that was easy to use. My partner said it’s the best AirBnB he’s stayed in and he’s stayed in many.
- The Casita was a quiet well lighted place away from traffic but close enough to nice restaurants. Christopher made a trip to the Casita to turn on outside lights. We got meet him,and he was friendly and we had a nice conversation. Plus, he met our Raider, the Mini Aussie, who also liked the property. We would definitely stay here again!!
- We had a great time at the Casita!! Felt very cozy and was perfect for a few days in Las Cruces. The host made us feel tight at home with the clean and friendly atmosphere, snacks and toiletries available, and flexible check-in/checkout. Perfect space for a few days in Las Cruces, and the art studio and atmosphere is a bonus. Close to town, great stay!!!
- This place was lovely! It was quiet and peaceful. It had everything we needed. We had our two dogs with us and they had lots of room to run around outside. It was close to restaurants and a cute little coffee shop. The host was very helpful and accommodating.
- Loved this casita. Comfy bed, big back yard for my pup to explore, all amenities I needed. There’s a great coffee shop 5 minutes down the road if you want to sit outside and get some work done. My pup and I had a great time. Thanks, Cristopher!
- The casita is charming, clean, and full of character. It’s conveniently located just three miles from Mesilla Plaza and offers plenty of outdoor space. We brought our dog, and it was perfect for letting him sniff around and explore.
- This was by far our favorite stay among the four places we visited across different cities during our trip. The home was spotless, peaceful, and full of character. Our dog adored the spacious backyard, and we truly appreciated the serene atmosphere. The mountain views along the drive were absolutely breathtaking.
- Christopher was very responsive and kind. He even went out of his way to clear space in the garage so we could safely park our car, which held some important belongings.
- Everything about our stay was easy and convenient! Christopher went above and beyond with clear and easy driving and entry instructions, and we enjoyed the helpful suggestions on where to eat, etc that he took the time to compile and leave for our stay. The sunscreen and bottled waters were much appreciated, given the hot dry climate, and it was a delight to eat dinner outside at the clean and beautiful mosaic table and benches. The fully fenced backyard was a haven for our pups to run and play after a long day on the car!
- It was peaceful and private!! Loved the outdoor space. There is a main house and an art studio on-site but you had privacy. Parking was close to the gate into the casita. We had the backyard all to ourselves which was great. We felt safe and comfortable. The location was near local shopping and a winery which we loved! We will consider this casita for our next visit!
- Very brief visit but a lovely stay! The drive to the casita was easy to find even in the late evening. Decor is lovely and the rooms were nice and chilled. Christopher set aside some local treats which was an awesome touch. Will visit again!
