Theresa's place is truly wonderful...very cute. We were in town for a family reunion and the rest of the clan opted for a huge lakehouse so they could all stay together but I prefer quiet and privacy. Theresa's cute place delivered.Everything was as she said it would be. Thank you Theresa! We will book again!

Cute but …

This is a cute little house in T or C. It would have been great, except it was not clean. The coffee cups were dirty, kitchen counters had crumbs behind the toaster, the bathroom sink and around the toilet were not clean in the bathroom. I have dogs at home and am used to some fur but the couch left us covered in fur. We had to put blankets down. The house was also 62 degrees when we arrived and it took a while to figure out the heat. Not a great welcome.

Bright, cheerful colors greet you in every room, a cozy patio with a really pretty cactus garden, and a roof that shades a table and chairs. It is a perfect spot for coffee in the am, meals and just hanging out. It was a quiet and peaceful stay, just what we needed.

My sister and I took my two little dogs on a mini holiday. One of my dogs is in hospice and we are just trying to make his end of life special. The cottage is adorable. It's one of the best things about T or C. The enclosed yard was perfect for my dogs. If you are going to Truth or Consequences I cannot recommend this property enough! They are truly pet friendly!

It was great after housekeeping took care of little messes and supplied tp. In general the place was pretty dusty. Would have like to know prior arrival that there were steps (I would have brought a cane) but maybe I didn’t read listing details thoroughly. Liked the decor, beds very comfy.

Cozy home

We loved the artwork and interior decorating. I loved the colors. Outdoor area is delightful and we fed the birds and had many bird visitors. Nice big fridge and nice stove. Kitchen is basic, but works fine. Mini splits in bedrooms are great. Neighborhood is quiet and location is fine. Just a little far to walk to town, but not a big deal. Very comfortable stay. And our cats did great, too.

The decor was wonderful. The bed was very comfortable, and the view from the patio was lovely. The neighborhood is mixed, but consistent with the town and it was so convenient to everything.

Amazing!

The yard is so relaxing and beautiful! You have a full view of the turtle on turtle back mountain! The fireplace was amazing! Beds were so comfy! Rooms were so full of charm. My dogs loved the yard! Be warned there’s a lot of cactus in the yard. It has a nice little path. Minutes from hot springs, downtown. I wish we could have stayed longer but the home wasnt available! It was exactly what we needed! Thanks for hosting us!

Overall great. Was a bit surprised with how run down the neighborhood was, but it was convenient to everything. The Desert Charm was much nicer than other properties in the area. The casita was adorable and the yard was great overall. I believe it was a good value for the daily rate. Thank you!

So cute and bohemian in decor. Beds are firm and two bedrooms accommodated our family of four. The fact that was pet friendly was a bonus. Plenty of linens and even sheets for the sofa in case your fur babies watch tv with you. Lots of dishes, etc. Just bring your clothes and toothbrush.
