Just a beautiful spot. Only downside is that it’s a long walk from the bed to the bathroom if you’re old like me.

The Best Getaway!
Eric and Tamara were amazing hosts and Clara’s Nest is the most beautiful place to stay. We had the best time. It was a breeze to check in and out. Eric and Tamara were so communicative. Everything about Clara’s nest was charming and intentional! Our hosts thought of everything. They even let us borrow sleds for when we visited white sands. Everything was clean and charming. It was centrally located and such a short walk to I so many fun restaurants and stores. We cannot recommend La Hacienda de Las Cruces and Clara’s Nest enough! Thank you for hosting us!

Absolutely Stunning!!!
My stay at this VRBO was an absolute dream. The photos online were beautiful, but they simply couldn't capture the true beauty of this hacienda. From the moment I arrived, I was awestruck by the gorgeous architecture, the lush grounds, and the overall sense of tranquility.The location was perfect! Just a short, pleasant walk brought us right into the heart of downtown, where I discovered some fantastic restaurants and bars. This VRBO provided the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience. I can't wait to return!

All we expected and more!
Clara’s Nest is an absolute gem, and the owners make the experience most memorable!
Clara's Nest is a unique historical property. The owners have decorated it with care and put a lot of work into it. The property was a delight to stay in. We could walk to downtown for shopping, eating, and the market.

Buena Hacienda
We were staying a couple days in Las Curces and and found this hacienda on Verbo and it is outstanding. Great communication with the host and location down town with walking distance to main street was outstanding!. Thanks

Folk art fab
This little place is exquisite. The wood beams, hand painted windows, folk art in every little niche…it’s a delight. Just do be aware that some place with all that awesome folksiness comes with things like tiny doors and uneven floors. But we two seniors did fine. The furniture is comfortable and the shower had plenty of hot water.

A Las Cruces gem
We were charmed by this lovely property. The space is large, comfortable, and beautiful with thoughtful and well-appointed furnishings. The hosts were very responsive, friendly , & professional. Everything was very clean and well-cared for. We used it as a jumping off point to White Sands & the El Paso arts district but thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the space as well. The neighborhood is charming and walkable. 10/10 would highly recommend!
