This was a perfect family hideaway for a cozy weekend. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable for the whole family, including our fur babies. Gail was wonderful with prompt communication and even provided a whole list of possible To Dos in the area. Would definitely reserve again.
A Wed thru Sat am stay. A home feeling. Very comfortable and accommodating. Ammenities good.Location good for what we did (White Dunes, Dripping Springs hike, shopping, Relaxation).Host great in explaining things and giving us access. Good access system. Secure and safe.
Gail was kind and made sure we had all we needed when we arrived. She let us know of good local restaurants (which we tried and loved) and also let us know she had a foot spa for after our long hike (which was happily used).The house was clean and welcoming. We were really sore after our hike, and the bed was so comfortable. We wish we had a longer stay so we could have enjoyed the backyard. We are returning to Las Cruces next year, and are definitely going to try and stay here again. Overall it was such a wonderful and comfortable stay.
Great House and location. Clean, very roomy and comfortable. Extremely well furnished and quiet neighborhood. Have to say this is the best bargain I have ever rented.
This was one of the cleanest and comfortable places we’ve ever stayed. The house is very well organized and we felt so comfortable. We are definitely booking here again.
This property was great! We were close to charming Mesilla & good restaurants. We took a trip to White Sands National Park. I would totally stay here again.
This was our second stay and the experience was just as good as the first. Had our dog this time and the proximity to the park is outstanding.
Appreciate Gail and her communication.
Thanks for another great stay!
This was the perfect place for our girls’ weekend to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl. My best friend and I have been friends for over 40 years and have raised our kids together and now they are having babies and it is wonderful to be able to spend time together. This home facilitated the making of great memories.
Beautiful and nicely kept property that is very close to NMSU area…..was the perfect spot for me and my dog to rest and visit family! The Hosts are great!!
Casa de Maíz is a gem! It was the perfect place to stay while our new house was being completed. Thoughtful hosts provided every single thing for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this great place.
very clean, spacious, well decorated and stocked. lots of instructions on how things worked. only thing is there wasn't much for tv. a few local channels. couldn't get apple tv to work.
This is my second time staying at this house. It’s very cute, feels like you’re at home. We come to Las Cruses to visit our kid who’s in college. The location of this house is great. Very close to nmsu college. Highly recommend this house.

I love being a host and am a Superhost with Airbnb. I have two degrees in hospitality management from Texas Tech University and Florida International University. Being a host has been my favorite job to date. I grew up in El Paso and have lived in eight other cities working in hospitality with over 20 years in the industry.
It is my goal to make your stay in our house the best experience you have ever had with regard to having a clean house, comfortable beds, furniture, and a stock of the little things that make this house a home away from home. T

What makes this property unique
The unique benefits of staying at our house are the value, service and the decór. I take my role as your host very seriously and it is an honor and pleasure to have you stay with us. I have been known to offer a baked good in the refrigerator and information about our friends that are local artisans or artists. We encourage guests to visit local attractions and take in the sites that are both in nature or that have a cultural aspect to them.
