The Jalapeño- Historic Adobe Home in Walkable Area

Experience True New Mexico in this traditional Adobe home in Carlsbad. Built in the 1920s, this home has been lovingly updated to modern standards while keeping its rustic charm. Wood ceilings, southwestern decor, & thick adobe walls for peace and quiet. Upstairs there is a kitchen, large living room with 2 sofas & formal dining room. Downstairs in the daylight basement, 3 bedrooms with 2 queen beds & 2 twins. Sleeps up to 8 guests! Great location- walk to Albertsons or CVS or restaurants!

We love this house because it feels so sturdy and cozy, like it's been here a 100 years ( because it has!) but it still has the modern amenities. It has both central air& heat (upstairs only) and mini split AC units in each bedroom( downstairs). Thick adobe walls keep the noise of the world and the New Mexico wind out, so it is peaceful and quiet inside. The location is safe and convenient- walkable to the center hub of town, but on a well lit residential street set back from the main road. We are about 30 minutes from the caverns.

Upstairs we have the living room with dark rustic wood ceilings and original hardwood floors decorated with comfy leather chesterfield sofas ( sleep 2 people if your group has 8), antique coffee table and southwestern pottery/ art/ rugs. The home has WiFi and TV with Roku lets you login to your streaming accounts. There is a stocked kitchen with stainless steel large fridge, dishwasher, and electric range. We provide coffee and tea and spices to get you started, and the little eat-in area seats 2. More seating in the spacious formal dining room with vintage dining set. Access to the backyard is through the kitchen to the large shady fully fenced yard and back patio.

Downstairs in the daylight basement there are three bedrooms ( two queen beds, two twin beds) and the full bathroom. Bedrooms have solid wood bedframes, fluffy cotton European duvets and fuzzy throw blankets, plenty of space, desk/ seating areas, and a few toys for the kids. In the bathroom, we provide body wash, shampoo, and conditioner plus fresh clean towels for our guests.

See our guidebook for tips and suggestions of what to do during your stay. Our Home is professionally cleaned and we pay our cleaners a living wage, so you help the local economy by staying here, plus you get an authentic New Mexico experience! Local hosts are responsive and ready to give tips on the local area or address any issues or concerns.

Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which has a kitchen. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment.
Guests will find features like internet access.

Overall, this was a good stay and it served its purpose for our visit. The home was clean, check-in was easy, and we didn’t have any major issues during our stay.That said, compared to some of the other unique places we stayed on this trip, this one felt like it could use some TLC. The adobe home has a lot of potential and plenty of charm, but it didn’t quite feel as cared for as other places we’ve stayed. One thing to note is that the listing described the location as walkable. We personally didn’t find there was much within easy walking distance, but we were also only there for one night along our route. Even with those things in mind, we had a comfortable stay and appreciated having a clean place to rest.

Our family, including a small dog, loved our stay at The Jalapeño. We are so glad we opted to stay there instead of a hotel. The location was perfect, and the house was very comfortable for all. We would definitely stay here again.
