Beautiful Gem close to White Sands National Park

I stayed for two days at this location . On the first day I mostly grabbed custard and relaxed at the rental. I somehow missed that the place had a hot tub and pool, so I was pleasantly surprised. The next day, I traveled to White Sands. The Vrbo provided sleds, which I gladly used to enjoy the beautiful park. It was a pretty simple drive. Upon my return, I soaked in the hot tub with another friendly traveler. I also met the owner. She was incredibly kind and warm. I’m thankful for my stay! The place was beautiful, cozy, and relaxing.

Great place to experience historic Las Cruces.

The shady, landscaped, walled property with charmingly decorated, authentic adobe cottages is an oasis near downtown Las Cruces. We could walk to the plaza area of downtown and to the Mesquite Historic District. The only need to drive was to the neighboring historic area of Mesilla. Parking is on the street, but there is no shortage of space. The hosts are very knowledgeable of the area and helpful with making the most of your visit to Las Cruces. We will definitely try to stay here again.

Elegant and Comfortable casita

This was our second stay, and we felt like we were coming back home! We love the elegance and comfort of this well appointed casita. The neighborhood is very quiet. Instructions were very clear and check in and out were very easy. The owners are around quite a bit and it’s very easy to get a hold of them if there are any issues. Parking is easy and this location is very close to the farmers market and other areas of downtown Las Cruces. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay!

I came to Las Cruces for a week and was so happy I booked this hacienda. It was perfect for what I needed. Close walk to downtown and a short drive to all of the outdoor adventures. The hosts, Eric and Tamera, are very kind and accommodating. Would definitely book again!

Perfect Place Downtown

This is one of the nicest rentals I’ve ever stayed in. The hacienda is gorgeous. Checking in was easy. We were staying for our wedding/elopement ceremony in White Sands. The deciding factor was this place was close to everything downtown including the hair/makeup studio 4 minutes away. The room was beautiful and comfy, they really thought of everything. I appreciated the large mirror that was perfect for dressing. Walking distance from the farmer’s market, and we had a few meals at Zeffiro’s pizza about 2 blocks away. While we were waiting / getting ready saw a book on the side table about stories from couples with 50+ years of marriage. We opened it up and read a few. It was a nice touch. Had a great time and would love to stay here again.

Quaint casita in great location

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this casita. It was convenient to walk downtown to enjoy farmer’s market and local restaurants and breweries. The casita has charm, nicely decorated with special touches such as bathrobes, lotions and comfy pillows. With no tv or radio to distract, this casita is very quiet at night and a great place to get away and relax. Will stay here again

Charm and history meld in delightful Las Cruces property

Although we expected to "warm up," in the southern part of our beautiful state, Casita Blance afforded the amenities to be cozy, and snug, as well as well positioned for any tourist activity. The neighbored bordered the museums, great restaurants and historic neighborhoods in Las Cruces, and nearby wonderful Mesilla. We loved the property, effortless check in, thoughtful amenities, snacks, coffee, yogurts for breakfast, and tasteful and complete kitchen. The bathroom is from AD, and lacking a tv, a rare treat, as great reading materials were abundant. The bed was really comfortable, embellished with lovely linens. I found the morning ambient sounds confusing, as my phone ring tone is the coo of mourning doves, and they abound in great numbers in the tall trees surrounding the noble, well restored historic property. The luminarias along the walkway, and the party lights on the trees made for a festive welcome after dark. For a great stay~~mil, mil gracias. We'd love to return Carol and Jerry ABQ, NM

About the host

Hosted by Eric Ahner

Host profile image
Tamera is a full-time publisher of two local magazines and Eric is a career educator. Relatively new to Las Cruces, we have quickly fallen in love with our new lives here. We have a daughter who is nearing the end of her bachelor studies in the state of Washington.

Why they chose this property

Tamera and Eric quickly fell in love with the Hacienda. It's rare charm and unique craftsmanship is spectacular. We have enjoyed learning about the property and the previous owners of this home which is said to be originally built in 1870. The Frenger family purchased the property in 1906 and spent nearly 30 years converting the home into a Santa Fe style hacienda as it's seen today.

What makes this property unique

Each suite has its own private entrance, creating a nice sense of privacy for all guests. The home is conveniently located in a historical area of downtown Las Cruces. The house is near the well-established farmers market which is in operation year-round, every Saturday morning. The market provides food, produce and many hand-made crafts. We are also located near the downtown pavilion where the city hosts many concerts through the warmer seasons. Many restaurants and bars are within walking distance of the house. While in a relatively busy part of town, the 7 foot wall surrounding the property and the house's thick adobe walls create incredible privacy.
