"Casa de Maíz" centrally located - close to NMSU
Gail was by far one of the best hosts I've had! The home had everything we needed for a wonderful stay! We were able to cook meals, do some laundry, the bed was comfortable, and the backyard was perfect for our little fur baby. I would absolutely love to stay here again!

Hot Tub + Arcade Games, Brand New Modern Home
Wonderful stay here while we visited our kids. Safe and secure. Appreciate being able to park in the garage. Beautiful,clean, bright house.

Rubivista Casita
Saundra was a wonderful host. She went out of her way to be helpful. Recommending restaurants, hikes, offering to help leave our vehicle strategically for a hike and purchasing an air filter for the Casita. The location was so convenient to many great hikes! It was equally convenient to the “city”. It was about 20 minutes from all modern conveniences and NMS. That being said when you are in the “country” you have to expect animal sounds. The nearby neighbor had a variety of animals including goats, alpaca or llama(not sure), goats, dogs and chickens with a rooster. If we kept the window closed we could sleep through the rooster. Unfortunately while we were there we encountered many dust storms. The area hadn’t had any rain in 3 months which was unusual. The casita had its own walled courtyard. It was so easy to just open the door and let our dog out. We had garage space with a washer and dryer. The king size bed was memory foam and very comfortable. Beautiful sunsets!

Historic Mesilla Adobe Home
Samuel's place has it all! Quite neighborhood, a short and pleasant walk to the Historic Mesilla Plaza, spacious and very well equipped, easy parking, easy access, great value. We especially enjoyed the large, spacious, and very private backyard/patio, complete with firepit and comfy Adirondack chairs. All in all, a perfect Mesilla stay.

Casa La Jolla
This is a rather nice older home in a quiet neighborhood. It pretty much met all our needs. The two showers are a little odd. The master bath shower and door to the bathroom only have curtains. Can be a little cold in there. The newer shower in the other bathroom is in a very dark end of that bathroom with no light near it. The water temperature is modest. Despite these comments we would stay here again. It is clean, beds are comfortable and it has a large yard for our furry friends.

Home near Red Hawk Golf
Lovely place, very clean and great neighborhood

Nice Little House
Great place, safe, clean, good location. Jeff was easy to communicate with and provided a lot of helpful information about the area.

Sunshine House, spacious, cozy, quiet, near NMSU
Eunice was extremely responsive and very helpful. The trip was great. The only thing I’d say is that the pictures don’t do the house justice. We felt like there was WAY more room than the pictures made it seem at booking which led to a great space for everyone to spread out after a long day in the dunes. If we come back to the area, we’ll 100% stay here again. Thanks so much!

Darling Southwest style casita
We always stay at Debbie’s place when in Las Cruces. We are in Cruces several times a year for family visits. The house is comfy, nicely decorated and in a great neighborhood. There is plenty of room and privacy. We always use the back sun room to work and do business or the front porch during the nice weather. Love the huge garage with washer and dryer. Debbie is a wonderful host and very thoughtful. She makes sure to provide all the essentials for her guests. We will be back soon! Thank you once again Debbie for your wonderful home. Chris and Melissa

Cozy & Comfortable New Mexico Home
Clean, comfortable home, nice for a family traveling with a small dog. Neighborhood felt safe. Easy to get in and out, and garage parking is available

Casita Alegre (happy little house)
Just what we needed, easy access to Las Cruces, and the surrounding area. Very quiet neighborhood, even though it is close to Hiway 70 and I 25.

Nature Retreat 12-min from Downtown (with pool)
Had a great time, great location that’s near all the places we wanted to see! Would definitely recommend.

Cozy Casita w/private patio near Old Mesilla
Katherine's place was the absolute perfect spot to stay! I was back visiting some old friends after a few years away, and this place was close enough to all our old spots that I could walk right into the nostalgia, but still quiet and secluded enough that I could tuck away at night. The place was cozy, clean, and cool, in all the right ways. Katherine was super helpful in communicating - she was kind and clear about everything - even working around my lack of internet during travel. Getting in and out of the place was as straightforward as one could have hoped. Highly recommend - I will absolutely stay here next time!

Cozy 2 bedroom home in the heart of Picacho Hill
I loved Kimberly's house! It is a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. Close neighbors, but very private in the home and outdoor space. We stayed 3 weeks, and neighbors were very friendly when we did meet them while out walking the dog. The home is laid out so well, and there are plenty of pots, pans and bakeware to be able to cook meals. There are a couple of very good restaurants conveniently close, as well. We had a very comfortable stay, and Kimberly was super responsive when we had any questions. Will definitely stay here again when in the Las Cruces area.

#2 Shipping Container Loft Downtown
Always a great stay; I love these container homes so much!

Ocotillo Casita in Historic Mesilla.
Catharine's Ocotillo Casita was the perfect base for exploring the Las Cruces area. And a great place to rest after a day of hiking or gallery touring. The house and grounds are well-maintained. Eric and Catharine live next door, so are easy to reach out to for questions. I appreciated the adjacent laundry room, as I was on a multi-week road trip. The casita is comfortable and roomy, with a fully stocked kitchen and full-sized fridge. The Roku TV set-up worked great for me. I've been to many Airbnb's across the country. This rates as one of the very best!

Casita at the Mediterranean Palms Estate
This was a perfect stay, and I'd give more stars if I could, especially having been to over 30 AirBnbs. Even better than the pictures and description. Access to the yard and pool house felt like a fancy hotel, with the beautiful sky and mountains in the distance. Incredible value. Everything was comfortable, clean, and we had what we needed provided by the hosts. The snacks and all of the helpful instructions were so appreciated. Very convenient to the missile range, beautiful parks and national park areas, and local essentials were always nearby. We loved so many of the host's recommendations. We felt safe and like we had complete privacy. The property is beautiful. Thank you to Theodore and his wife. They were excellent communicators, and their dog brought us so much happiness. Already wishing we didn't have to leave, but we would go back in a heartbeat, and hope to soon.

Historic and Contemporary in heart of Old Mesilla
My husband and I were spending part of our honeymoon at Nate's place. This is one of the most beautiful and special accommodations I ever stayed at, it's really unique. I fell in love with it the moment we arrived there. Nate has such an eye for detail. I'm so amazed and I've been raving about it ever since! Also the location is perfect for walking around the charming town of Mesilla.

Private Oasis Near Old Mesilla with Pool/Jacuzzi!
Over all this was a peaceful and beautiful experience. The home was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfy, ensuring a restful stay. The hosts were very kind and responsive, which made the experience even better. However, I was a bit disappointed with a few things. The home is listed as a 3-bedroom property, we were limited on bedrooms we actually had access to. Since I rented the entire house, I expected access to all the bedrooms(I did find this listed in the add.rules). Regardless if the entire home is rented the entire home should be accessible. Additionally, the listing mentions a hot tub and heated pool, but you have to pay extra for the hot tub to be hot and for the pool to be heated. The website states that all fees are included, so this felt a bit misleading. Again this was mentioned in the additional rules , however very misleading in title of the listing. Had I had access to all 3 bedrooms and the hot tub and pool been heated w/o additional fees, it would be 10/10 stay

Cozy White House at Hacienda de Las Cruces
Thank you Tamera and Eric! I love your place! So comfortable and charming and inviting! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the hot tub! See you next time I visit Las Cruces!

Desert Escape Year Round Pool,Hot Tub&Game Room
Booked this beautiful home for my family. My mother-in-law is hard to please and she had nothing but great things to say about this house. There were plenty of toys and games for my boys to enjoy inside and out. Pool toys were available and easily accessible. When a request was made someone was there to assist promptly. I would recommend this house to any family visiting Cruces or White Sands.

Desert Peaks Casita
The place was nice and comfortable. One of the wash clothes had a stain on it and there was a spider in the bedroom that I had to kill. But other than these small issues it was a good stay and the views were spectacular!

Home in Las Cruces Casa de Flores (Flower House) Near NMSU
The place was exactly as described. It was a great location and the house was clean, comfortable and the hot tub was perfect. We fully enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others. The kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance you would ever need, lots of towels, and also small touches that we appreciated such as all the different coffees and the chips and local salsa was a great touch.

Airstream/Airdream w Hot Tub
Great stay. Relaxing. Tranquil. Hot tub, grill and privacy awesome. Thank you. I’ll definitely be back. 5 star

Your guide to Las Cruces
All About Las Cruces
Las Cruces, New Mexico’s second-largest city, sits near the US-Mexican border on the edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, with the gargantuan Doña Ana and Organ Mountain Ranges providing a picturesque backdrop. You can explore this scenic landscape along the popular Pine Tree Trail, the Slot Canyon Trail, and other treks that lead past rugged rock formations, mountain waterfalls, and a sprawling ecosystem of flora and fauna, including the occasional rattlesnake and other desert critters.
The city features several historical monuments, including the Three Crosses that give the town its name. Downtown’s thriving Main Street has a pedestrian plaza, numerous museums — including the Museum of Art, Museum of Natural History, and Branigan Cultural Center — and galleries showcasing the art of the Southwest. You’ll also find numerous festivals celebrating Mexican and American art, culture, food, and music.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Las Cruces
Las Cruces enjoys plentiful sunlight for the majority of the year, with temperatures ranging from temperate in the winter to scorching in the summer. During the dry, sunny summer months, be sure to drink plenty of water, especially if you’re headed outside, and remember to pack sunscreen and a hat. In fall and winter, the city enjoys relatively cool weather during the day, but it can drop below freezing at night. The mild daytime weather creates a comfortable and enjoyable environment for hiking around the mountains and exploring the vast Chihuahuan Desert. Try the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Trail, a short family-friendly trail with labeled plants and trees.
The Harvest Wine Festival at the beginning of September highlights New Mexico’s wineries with food, live music, and a huge selection of wines. At the end of October, Las Cruces celebrates Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead with a candlelit procession from the plaza to the cemetery, altars to honor lost loved ones, and a giant piñata.
Top things to do in Las Cruces
New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum
The 47-acre New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum is a unique indoor and outdoor museum that traces the 4,000-year history of farming and ranching in New Mexico. Interactive living history demonstrations take you from the early agricultural period — where you’ll view ancient tools and a replica of a Mogollon pit house from the prehistoric era — to modern innovations in farming.
Old Mesilla
The town of Mesilla became a part of the United States in 1854 with the Gadsby Purchase, but has retained its Mexican culture through the decades. Old Mesilla village and plaza, less than 15 minutes from downtown Las Cruces, is a National Historic Landmark thanks to the original adobe buildings, which now house art galleries, gift shops, and restaurants decorated with red chile ristras.
Dripping Springs Natural Area
About 30 minutes east of Las Cruces is the Dripping Springs Natural Area, where you’ll find four miles of hiking trails among the desert scrub and oak woodlands. You may get the opportunity to spot red-tailed hawks, golden eagles, and desert mule deer. The Dripping Springs trail is about three miles out and back with low elevation, perfect for novice hikers. Be sure to bring plenty of water, especially if hiking during the summer.
