The Captain's Quarters was great! My family and I enjoyed the 2 separate levels. It made it easy to find a quiet place to rest. We especially enjoyed the deck. Watching the thunder storms across the sky was a highlight. Great water pressure for our showers was greatly appreciated. We found it clean and restful - all a plus for our family visit.

Great weekend at the lake!

The property is beautiful, well stocked and extremely comfortable. We truly enjoyed our stay and found the location easy to access, the totally fenced yard felt very private, neighborhood was quiet (other than the obligatory fireworks on July 4th) and we appreciated being able to bring our dog along on the trip. Definitely recommend this host and property, and hope to be able to stay here again in the future.

The stay was beautiful, and the house was very comfortable. My only complaint is trying to message back and forth with Vrbo. I found it confusing and tedious. The host was great with this issue and texted my phone number, which gave me instant results. Nice man!!

The pictures do not do this home justice. It is spacious and lovely. The extra perks (dog kennel & water bowl, extra tables, outdoor chairs and more) made it that much better. Look forward to staying here again.

So blessed to find this gem!

Originally we were poised to stay at a home in Truth or Consequences. The plan was to go there and enjoy the hot springs.?However, my wife was also wanted to explore Elephant Butte Lake because she was interested in doing some fishing there in the future. So I did a search and found the Captain’s Quarters. We are so happy we did! We had a wonderful view of the lake every morning as we had our coffees and watched the sunrise. It’s close to town, so we could go to the art galleries, museums, and other local attractions. We also were able to explore the lake and the ranger there gave us lots of info! Our place was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Our last day there we stayed in and had a relaxing time there. Randall was quick to respond to our texts and is one of the nicest hosts ever. We highly recommend this place!

Annual Butte Trip

Great stay will likely book next summer. Only reason it wasn’t five stars was the oven was broke. I love to cook and had plans to use it. Owner was upfront about it, tried to get it fixed and gave a partial refund. So no hard feelings on that end.
