WE CHECKED IN & sign on A/C said do not lower temperature or the A/C will freeze up.

Horrible neighborhood tiny front yards had chain linked fencing with loud barking dogs. After all the hype "sparkling interior" we had to leave ASAP and find new place to stay.I have Alzheimers Dementia and it was impossible to stay there AT ALL.We expect a full refund as we could not stay there & had to pay for another hotel with additional expenses.

Geode stay

We enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable. My son slept in the office. He liked the privacy but he said the middle of the bed sunk a few inches away from the wall so he didn’t sleep well. We didn’t know if it was a folding bed that might not have locked the whole way or not. Other than that, he liked it a lot. Didn’t take long to get to the caverns. Very enjoyable trip!

Extremely Disappointed

Until this stay I was a very satisfied VRBO user. I do not appreciate property photos with filters that make home look as bright and fresh as a new home when the “vintage” home does not come close to the pics provided.

Geode review

The house was decorated so cute! It looked exactly as pics. Very clean. Only drawback was backyard isn’t one to sit outside and enjoy and don’t walk barefoot as your feet will be covered in thorns . Host was very responsive and accommodating. I’d definitely recommend the Geode, the location is great for exploring Carlsbad and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks.

Geode House was a great choice.

We loved the decor, the appliances worked great, although, I wished I would have known there was WiFi. The listed said no WiFi. The carport was greatly appreciated during the thunderstorm. It was a good location for our needs. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness

Not in a safe neighborhood.

The owner was extremely responsive,mand the property inside was immaculate. The neighborhood was so bad, the house next door was literally a shack, and the neighborhood was not at all safe. If the home were in a better area, it would be great. Our young daughter, and her two young children (4 and 6) did not feel safe even driving up to the home. We did NOT stay there, but had to forfeit the rent and fees. VRBO needs to qualify locations better and include outside photos. This is my second unpleasant stay in 6 weeks.

Exactly as described, this house is a work in progress but super warm and cozy. Comfy beds. Keep up the good work - super cute! Much bigger than expected - huge bedrooms.
