About this property

Sage Cottage: Cozy & Serene/ Sleeps 6 / Huge Yard!

Sage Cottage is a quaint home conveniently located on one of the main roads through town. Easy access to everything Carlsbad has to offer, but private and serene with a huge yard. Beds for 6 guests ( queen, full, 2 twins) in 3 bedrooms w AC plus complete kitchen, dining space, and spacious yet cozy living room. Two bathrooms (although the upstairs one is mostly for children due to its small size). Plenty of off-street parking, easy keypad check in, and local co-host keep your stay worry-free.

We want Sage Cottage to be a pleasant happy place for you to stay while visiting Carlsbad. Whether you are here for vacation, for work, or any other reason we hope you will be comfortable here.

We love the home because it feels like a sweet little dollhouse while still being comfortable and functional. Downstairs we have two bedrooms, charming living room, complete kitchen with dining space, the main bath with tub shower combo, and two bedrooms. The front bedroom has a comfortable queen bed, large closet, and room darkening curtains. The back bedroom has a full size bed ( sleeps two but smaller than a queen), closet, and room darkening curtains. The living room has a sofa bed, although it's not particularly comfortable.
Upstairs in the charming attic we have two twin beds, a desk/ study area, and an adorable/hilarious little vintage bathroom.

Home has a large fully fenced backyard with patio, and pets and kids are welcome.

Convenient, easy access to town due to location on a major thoroughfare through town. It's not a huge or fancy house but it feels "just right."

Weekend trip

Rode to Carlsbad for a weekend. Was surprised when we noticed the 1/2 sized bathroom upstairs. The house was inviting and had everything we could need.

Cute home

We stayed here for 3 days and it was perfect for what we needed. The house is older but it was clean and comfy for us. We enjoyed our stay and got to spend quality time together as we explored NM.

The home was a cute stay for our short trip to see the Carlsbad Caverns and hike Guadalupe Peek Trail! Everything was clean and location great.The upstairs room and bathroom or on the smaller side (don't think adults can shower upstairs) so do know that going in.

Quiet, clean place to rest

Instead of grabbing a hotel, we opted for a VRBO as a stopping place for the night as we traveled through town. Exactly as advertised, no issues at all.

Everything about this place was great, from the family/living room for evening movie watching; the kitchen for cooking; kitchen table for card/board games; the two large first floor bedrooms; the most comfortable twin beds in the quiet upstairs; and the patio/yard! Highly recommend this!

Carlsbad

The house was clean and comfortable. Pots, pans and sharp knives in the kitchen are dubious. Internet posed a problem. All in all I would stay in this home again.

House wasn't bad. It wasn't great either. Just little things that needed kept up or replaced to take it to good. Upstairs was fun, kids loved the space.

Base Camp for the National Parks

Three adults stayed for 4 nights as base camp for hiking trips to Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns National Parks. Worked well for 3 adults as each had a bedroom although upstairs would be better for kids. Sharing a bathroom downstairs was no problem. Kitchen supplies were adequate although paper towels would have been more convenient. Very clean and ample towels. Living room very comfortable. WiFi worked well. Access was very convenient for daily trips. Recommended if this would meet your party's needs.

Adequate

Fine property but several inconveniences. Upstairs shower is very small, not usable for any adult or teenager, so expect to only have one shower. Additionally main shower head is damaged and has a significant leak out the bottom of the head. No kitchen trash bags or paper towels were provided so we had to go buy some. Overall it was good for a weekend stay where we weren't at the house much.
