The Jalapeño- Historic Adobe Home in Walkable Area

Experience True New Mexico in this traditional Adobe home in Carlsbad. Built in the 1920s, this home has been lovingly updated to modern standards while keeping its rustic charm. Wood ceilings, southwestern decor, & thick adobe walls for peace and quiet. Upstairs there is a kitchen, large living room with 2 sofas & formal dining room. Downstairs in the daylight basement, 3 bedrooms with 2 queen beds & 2 twins. Sleeps up to 8 guests! Great location- walk to Albertsons or CVS or restaurants!

We love this house because it feels so sturdy and cozy, like it's been here a 100 years ( because it has!) but it still has the modern amenities. It has both central air& heat (upstairs only) and mini split AC units in each bedroom( downstairs). Thick adobe walls keep the noise of the world and the New Mexico wind out, so it is peaceful and quiet inside. The location is safe and convenient- walkable to the center hub of town, but on a well lit residential street set back from the main road. We are about 30 minutes from the caverns.

Upstairs we have the living room with dark rustic wood ceilings and original hardwood floors decorated with comfy leather chesterfield sofas ( sleep 2 people if your group has 8), antique coffee table and southwestern pottery/ art/ rugs. The home has WiFi and TV with Roku lets you login to your streaming accounts. There is a stocked kitchen with stainless steel large fridge, dishwasher, and electric range. We provide coffee and tea and spices to get you started, and the little eat-in area seats 2. More seating in the spacious formal dining room with vintage dining set. Access to the backyard is through the kitchen to the large shady fully fenced yard and back patio.

Downstairs in the daylight basement there are three bedrooms ( two queen beds, two twin beds) and the full bathroom. Bedrooms have solid wood bedframes, fluffy cotton European duvets and fuzzy throw blankets, plenty of space, desk/ seating areas, and a few toys for the kids. In the bathroom, we provide body wash, shampoo, and conditioner plus fresh clean towels for our guests.

See our guidebook for tips and suggestions of what to do during your stay. Our Home is professionally cleaned and we pay our cleaners a living wage, so you help the local economy by staying here, plus you get an authentic New Mexico experience! Local hosts are responsive and ready to give tips on the local area or address any issues or concerns.

Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this holiday home's great location. During your stay, you'll be within walking distance of Carlsbad Water Park. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and 1.5 bathrooms in the holiday home.

Remodeled adobe near CVS and Albertsons
This house is an adobe style home on the outside but is remodeled inside. It has a large fenced yard for a dog or small children. There is a cement deck in the backyard to put outdoor furniture to sit outside. The 3 bedrooms are downstairs in a daylight basement which means that the rooms should be cooler in the summer--important in a place where 100 degrees is common. One full bathroom downstairs and a toilet room upstairs. The downstairs bath is large but awkward as the toilet and bath are elevated from the rest of the room because of plumbing. Living area is large and has 2 couches. Separate dining room has a large table and 6 chairs. House was clean and beds were comfortable.

Nice potential but fell short
The place itself has potential but there were issues. It was not properly clean upon arrival. The floor, the dishes, the sheets and other items lacked proper cleaning. There was grinds in the coffee pot from the last time it was made and it takes at least 1 and 1/2 hour to brew a pot. The tea pot still had water in it. The grass was mowed outside but was all over the cement areas for the patio. The patio furniture had to be cleaned before you could sit in it. The neighborhood was poor. There were homeless people around, people racing cars at all hours nearby. No ammenaties around beyond what was in the place you would want to partake of. We stayed in 5 different cities on as part of a long trip we took. This was the lowest rated place we stayed. To be fair our second lowest rating also went to place in New Mexico. The issue of homelessness seems to be part of New Mexico itself no matter where you go. So not solely due to this place but we will not be visiting any place in New Mexico in the foreseeable future.

We enjoyed our stay!
The home was easy to find & the code/key was easy retrieve making entry into the home easy as well. Compared to some places we’ve stayed where that’s been hard. The home was clean and well organized. My only complaint was the lack in availability of cleaning products as we were traveling with children and I like to always clean up. The home was pet friendly so being able to travel with our dog was nice. The AC also kept the home cool, which being in the summer, in New Mexico, makes a big difference. All in all we had a wonderful experience and stay and would recommend it to others with families/children or a pet.

Carlsbad Home
The property is in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were comfortable. I rated it lower because it was not very clean. The stovetop was dirty and greasy. The oven had lots of burnt on spills, the upstairs toilet had mildew under the rim, and the carpet had several stains that looked pet related. There was no detergent for the dishwasher and when we arrived there were dishes in the dishwasher.

1 night in Carlsbad area
House is cute and in a nice walkable neighborhood. The upstairs of the home (kit, living room, dining) was nice. Owners had a great coffee area set up, only thing was there were not coffee filters, so we didn't get to take advantages of the coffee. The downstairs was disappointing, the carpet is stained and the downstairs area smells. I guess this is good for those who have their pets (which we did not). Each bedroom had an air-conditioner unit. The check-in was smooth, minus the 2 different address listed on the check-in email (one house number different) but we were able to locate the property.

Watch out for the deposit
We booked this location for 2 nights. They required a one thousand five hundred dollar deposit. They hit our credit card as soon as the reservation was confirmed and held it for two weeks after our reservation which was a total of six weeks. That is obscenely ridiculous! We will not be staying there again and we advise to find a host that is more reasonable in their deposit requirements.

Nice pet friendly property
Property is nice when traveling with pets. Back yard could do with a spring cleanup since winter winds blow trash and debris inside the fence line. Upstairs has a terrific living room area and kitchen met our needs. Location is good, close to restaurants and main road connections for Carlsbad Caverns. We appreciate homes that allow for pets. Thank you
