True New Mexico experience

My wife, our two dogs, and I stayed here for two nights and had an amazing time. The starry night sky and exploring with the friendly local dogs made it unforgettable. Our dogs got along great with them and were so happy, they didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend—10/10!

The Stars’ at Night…

Overall a great experience. Israel was very accommodating and helped when we had issues, super quick responses once I manned up and asked. Ha It’s isolated, dark, and a perfect place to chill and watch the stars. Planning another trip later this year!

Immersive experience

If you’re looking for a true New Mexico desert experience, this is a great place. Very remote and secluded. Owner communicated great. Place was clean and taken care of. Don’t stay here if you’re afraid of dogs. There are 4 dogs on the property. They are very friendly though. Didn’t bother us any. Nice place!

Beautiful night skies

Isreal was great. He made sure we had everything we needed. The evening sky is amazing out there. The area is out in the country so their is barely any light pollution. That being said you need to buy groceries in town, nothing delivers out there. Town in only 20 minutes away. If you work online the internet is spotty. It was a great time I would recommend it.

RV camping

The area is true to New Mexico. Flat and sort of boring. We did, however, enjoy our stay. A short drive to Roswell, which is a small but fun town. I do have to give a friendly warning. There are 4 dogs that run the show on the property. 2 are what I believe are Mexican hairless dogs. and 2 are aging labs. Very sweet dogs who are the welcoming committee. They will jump on your car if you are not fast enough to check in. The owner Did tell us and it was too late for us, that you can control the outdoor lighting with a remote. It would have made a huge difference with stargazing. Overall, we did enjoy the stay. Something different, and it wasn't half bad.
