IMPORTANT
Before you arrive you will be asked to complete guest verification through third-party provider Superhog. This is done to ensure we are keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations as well as providing both our guests and our properties with extra protection. Superhog will contact you via email and/or text to complete the verification. You will also be given the choice between a security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver. Please complete this step prior to arriving at the property to enable a quick and easy check-in process.

During your stay, you'll have complete access to the entire home, ensuring privacy and comfort. Enjoy the spacious layout, fully-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and serene bathrooms, all designed with families and groups in mind.

There is an unoccupied ADU in the back. No one is staying in it, but you won’t have access to it either.

The basement, one closet, and one outdoor shed are used for storage and will be locked and unavailable to you.

HOUSE RULES
Treat our home with respect and care for it as you would your own. No smoking or vaping, no drugs, and no unregistered guests. See our guidebook for more details on the house rules. We do allow dogs for a $100 fee for up to two dogs. Dogs must not be left alone in the house.

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT DETAILS
Easy self-check-in with a digital smart lock. Check in after 4 PM and check out by 10 AM. General checkout procedures are to lock the doors, close the windows, leave dishes clean or at least in the dishwasher, and leave used beds undone and used towels in the floor. Generally tidy up the place and leave it the way you found it. Nothing too complex :)

There is a train crossroad (not super nearby) and you may occasionally hear the train horn at night.

The game room is in a detached garage that faces the backyard pool area, feel free to open the rollout door to enjoy and get some fresh air!

The staircases are steep, and the head clearance is from 1900s standards which means that a tall person can bump their head. Watch out!

Fun fact: The main house has 3 staircases. The second staircase in the kitchen goes to the same second floor as the main staircase because, back in the early 1900s, staff was not allowed to use the main staircase, so they built a separate one from the kitchen. The third one is to get to the finished attic where the air hockey table is located.

While you're here to enjoy the desert vibes, we also want to make you aware of the local wildlife that calls this area home. We've seen birds, mice, spiders, skunks and other critters at the property. Although we have not seen them at the property, there are snakes in the nearby trails, be careful while exploring and have fun!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.

Delightful
What a beautiful home my family and I had the pleasure of staying in. Very clean, great amenities (game room, bonfire, and swimming pool - weather was cold but definitely would book in the summer) Emmanuel was very attentive and wanted to ensure our stay was comfortable and overall it was. Hands down 10 stars

Thanksgiving
Loved the charm and character of this house! Two staircases added extra fun. Everyone arrived at different times and we had no problems getting settled in. The sun room was a favorite room to go to for some quiet time. The kids loved going to the game room in the back. We never got around to using the fire pit but I’m sure it would have been so fun and relaxing. The kitchen was well stocked with spices. Not sure if the hosts went out of their way for that since I mentioned that we were meeting up for Thanksgiving dinner. Any problems we had, the owner was quick to respond. The location was so convenient to the quaint downtown area and Lowe’s grocery store. All within a two to three block walk. There were plenty of games to keep the kids engaged inside the house, too. Maybe some plastic bowls for kids to use but not a big problem. Cleaning supplies, laundry tablets, trash bags and toilet paper were well stocked. I would definitely recommend this house. I’m thinking it would be an awesome place to stay in the summer to get more use of the outdoor space, including the pool.

Summer getaway
Our family had a great stay at this location. The house was perfect for all of us and the kids were swimming every spare minute. The owner was always very responsive whenever we had a question. Would definitely use this VRBO again.

Great house for family fun
The kitchen was well stocked, and the board games, air hockey, ping pong, pool, and other fun items from the listing were all as advertised. We especially enjoyed the pool, fire pit, and large TV where we watched movies together after a day out exploring. The house is < 30 minutes from White Sands national park, Lincoln National Forest, and the Cloudcroft ski resort, so while Alamagordo itself isn't a great tourist spot and the neighborhood the house is in isn't very nice, it is very well located for day trips, you get a lot of space for the money, and we never felt unsafe.
