The home itself is stunning, impeccably clean, and felt both luxurious and comfortable.A few things that really stood out:The Hosts: They were incredibly helpful and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a seamless stay.Navigation: Finding the property was a breeze; the directions provided were spot on, which we greatly appreciated given the mountain location.The Extras: We were constantly surprised by the "little things." The hosts went above and beyond with extra amenities and thoughtful touches that made us feel truly welcome.If you are looking for a beautiful getaway with hosts who genuinely care about your experience, look no further.

This property was immaculate. Every detail was designed to make the user feel exactly like they were at home. The well equipped kitchen had every convenience including an air fryer, spices, even down to toothpicks. Would encourage all visitors to the area to stay here for a relaxing stay with upscale conveniences and a beautiful view.

Judy was an amazing host. We entered the home and were surprised to find so many extra amenities. There were bottles of water and book bags for day hiking. They had sleds for the sand dunes too. There was a basket of little toiletries in case we forgot something. Instructions for each device were laminated for easy use: TVs, grill, oven, AC unit, etc. I could tell that Judy has a passion for hosting and we are so lucky to have found this place.

We had our annual Spring Yoga retreat with John and Jude.Everything was perfect for us. The Kitchen and dinning table accommodated all of our gatherings for meals and late night conversations. Everyone slept soundly, enabling us to venture to White Sands National Monument for spectacular light at 6:00 AM. Our hosts communicated happily and with precision. Everyone wants to return.

This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed it. It was so cozy, comfortable, and the view is like nothing I’ve ever seen. The extra amenities made it so pleasant and welcoming from cookies to bottled water to sleds for the dunes. Everything was exactly as listed, the hosts were so kind and helpful and quickly responsive. We are thinking of planning another trip to southern New Mexico just so we can spend a few days here! It was my husband and 4 kids ages 6-12 and we all say it’s the best place we’ve ever stayed!

Lovely home with truly awesome, peaceful canyon views. Home was spotlessly clean, modern very well stocked kitchen & linens plus a delicious dessert treat left for us by the hosts and the home was so nicely decorated for Christmas - a charming surprise bonus!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Mclean

Host profile image
Jude (Judy), a former Realtor and mortgage broker, and John, a World War II researcher, were captivated the moment they discovered Vista De Los Dioses "View of the Gods." Taken by its breathtaking views, they spent months thoughtfully refurbishing the property. Their passion is to create a one-of-a-kind experience for every guest, blending luxury and comfort in a space designed to help you unwind, reconnect with nature, and soak in the unforgettable scenery.

Why they chose this property

Our location is perfect! You are on top of the world yet close to everything! Large home to fit 8 people but a cozy retreat for any single person or a couple.

What makes this property unique

Perched at the top of the mountain, our home offers peaceful seclusion; you’ll rarely see another person or vehicle. It's the perfect place to relax, breathe in fresh mountain air, enjoy bird watching, hike nearby trails, and explore the charming towns of Alamogordo and Cloudcroft. Visitors are consistently amazed by the breathtaking views of both the mountains and the valley below. Our single-level layout makes the home accessible for guests with limited mobility, and we offer convenient disability parking right by the front door. The main floor of the home is wheelchair accessible, but bathrooms are not.
