We stayed her for four weeks in January 2023 and would definitely stay again. The property is one of several “cottages” in the Rock Canyon enclave which is surrounded by Elephant Butte Lake State Park and has a variety of well kept properties from new adobe structures to smaller trailers. When we were there, it was very quiet, though seasonal activity was just starting to pick up when we left. Access to the property is from Hare Drive, and the driveway is literally on the corner Hare and Rock Canyon Road. There is a street sign for Hare Drive, but still a bit tricky to spot the first time. The host suggests parking a bit up the drive from the house unless the vehicle has awd because some of the sand is quite soft. We did not have awd, followed the hosts advice, and were fine. As someone else noted, there is a neighbor with dogs and the dogs frequently do get out of the neighbors enclosed yard. Fortunately they are very friendly if a bit rambunctious. We had our two dogs with us, so there was some occasional barking at first, but no confrontations etc. The host is well aware of the dog issue, and is actively trying to find a solution. Inside the space was very clean and larger than we anticipated. All appliances etc. worked well, including the wall mounted ac/heat units. Wi-Fi is via a cellular hot spot and worked very well for us, though we did exceed the data cap at one point, likely because we were streaming video. Fortunately the host added more capacity for us, and there are dozens of dvd’s to choose from rather than streaming movies. We can’t speak to summer activity at the lake, but for our purposes (bird/wildlife photography in the area) it was a great location. If you visit, bring some bird seed to put out; we can guaranty you will see some nice birds, including several Gambel’s Quail.
