A comfy cozy casita that's walking distance to shops, restaurants, the Mesilla square and some local trails. The backyard is roomy and private with nice hangout spots and good vibes. The bed is comfortable (firm, like we prefer). There's also a washer/dryer which turned out to be quite convenient. We love the colorful decor and attention to detail in this beautiful, charming home and hope to return soon.

This casita has everything you need - comfortable bed, fully stocked kitchen and lots of room to spread out. A convenient location close to restaurants, bars and things to see in old Mesilla - there is some traffic noise that quiets down after dark. Recommended!

Home was comfy, nicely decorated, well stocked (kitchen with plates, pots, etc). Location was great. Walking distance to several restaurants and the Plaza. We have family that lives in Mesilla so we won't hesitate to book here again where we can be close to family without having to stay with family.

Perfect spot for our vacation - mix of sightseeing and visiting family. Perfect amount of space for our family (2 adults, 2 kids). Amenities that were what we needed. Very clean. Host very friendly and easy to work in, including adding an extra night to our accommodations. We have recommended to family and friends.

Nice little place close to Old Mesilla.

This is a nice little place to stay if you're visiting Old Mesilla or Las Cruces! It was easy to find and to check in, everything we needed was provided including washer and dryer on the property which was nice. One bedroom and a pull-out couch was perfect for our 3-person family. I would recommend this place for a couple or a small family.

Great properry in Mesilla!

This property was easy to get to and in a convenient location, close to many restaurants, gas stations, and shopping, also close to the highways. Listing was as described. It was very well decorated, homey, and comfortable. I was able to easily locate everything within the home that I needed during my stay.

It is very conveniently located, close to many restaurants and boutiques.

Very cute and overall comfortable casita. My only suggestion would be to invest on a new sofa bed. The one there now is quite uncomfortable. And maybe some new sheets and towels.

Still a gem

I do love this place, which is why I return regularly. I’ve said it in my other reviews, but the main reason is probably the way the decor reflects the setting and location so well. But it is also spacious and comfortable. I’ll be back!

Very good. But someone should check the washer and dryer very carefully. Every 10 minutes. Water level seems too low in washer and dryer doesn’t stay hot/warm until clothes are dry. Please check each every ten minutes to analyzer problem. Maybe it’s just me🤔

Charming 1 bedroom 1 bath in the heart of Mesilla

We loved staying in this clean and modern adobe home within a couple minutes walk of the historic Mesilla Plaza. The house has a huge kitchen with lots of counter space. It has a dishwasher, large fridge, gas stove, microwave and coffee maker, complete with all dishes and utensils, except it lacks a vegetable peeler. The listing says that it has 1.5 baths, but there is only one bathroom. However that bathroom is huge, with a giant walk-in shower and modern fixtures. The living and dining rooms are comfortable. The bedroom was adequate. It's in the back of the house and quiet. The Internet was fast and reliable. There's a giant TV in the living room and another in the bedroom. The only negative was the dryer. The lint filter wouldn't stay in and your clothes don't get dry unless you turn the dial all the way to hot. But the washer was great and we were able to get a couple loads clean and dry during our stay. Overall we had a pleasant stay and would definitely stay there again.

Melissa’s casita was very comfortable and well equipped. We had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The casita is really close to restaurants, coffee shops, brewpubs and the Old Town square. We loved sitting on the backyard patio in the morning enjoying our breakfast!Thanks Melissa!

"Mi casa es su casa"

The wall plaque in the entry says it all, "Bienvenidos. Mi casa es su casa" We were in Mesilla for a long weekend, and staying in this casita made us feel truly welcome. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

I won’t say much here since I’ve said it a few times before. This is such a sweet, tasteful, well-appointed place. It had been a couple years since I’d been here, and it is it is just as nice as I remembered it.
