Twenty questions, answered straight

The house sleeps 6. There are 3 bedrooms, 3 beds and 2 full bathrooms, and the house rules set a firm limit of six guests. That is a real limit rather than a soft one, so if your group is seven you need a different house.

It is an entire home. You have the whole house, the garage driveway and the fenced back garden to yourselves — no shared rooms, no other guests, and no host on site.

Yes. Pets are allowed, and the back garden is securely fenced, which is the part that actually matters when you are traveling with a dog. Assistance animals are always allowed. The listing does not publish a pet fee, a weight limit or a maximum number of pets, so confirm the details for your specific booking on Airbnb.

Yes. The back garden has solid privacy fencing, a wide lawn under mature shade trees, and a covered patio. The host describes it in her own listing as secure fencing for pets.

Yes. There is RV parking on the property, on a graveled strip behind a gate along the side of the house, plus free parking on the premises and a wide concrete driveway at the front. The listing does not publish RV length limits or hookups, so ask before you arrive with a large rig.

Yes. The house has Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace — a proper desk in its own room with shelving and a printer table, not a laptop perched on a kitchen counter. No connection speed is published on the listing, so if you need a specific bandwidth for calls, ask first.

There is a washer. There is no dryer — Airbnb lists it under 'not included', and it is worth knowing before a long stay rather than after. A laundromat run is a normal part of a month here.

No. There is no pool, hot tub or jacuzzi at the house. If you want to swim, Lea Lake at Bottomless Lakes State Park has a genuine sand beach 15 miles southeast.

Yes, and we would rather tell you plainly than have you find them. There are exterior security cameras on the property. In the host's own words on the listing: "Security cameras for your peace of mind located front, back and sides." They cover the outside of the house only.

Check-in is after 3:00 pm. Checkout is before 10:00 am.

The listing does not publish a fixed minimum. Minimum stays on a short-term rental usually vary by season and by date, so the accurate answer for your dates is the one Airbnb shows you at booking.

We deliberately do not publish a nightly rate here. Short-term rental pricing moves with the season, the length of stay and demand, so any number printed on this page would be wrong within days. The live rate for your dates is on the Airbnb listing.

Through Airbnb. Every 'check availability' link on this site opens the listing, where you pick dates, see the live rate and reserve. Booking there means Airbnb's payment protection, verified messaging and cancellation handling all apply to your stay — which is worth something when a listing is new.

Airbnb records the policy for this listing as 'Limited'. Rather than paraphrase what that means for your dates, check the cancellation terms shown on the listing before you confirm — Airbnb states them exactly for the reservation you are making.

In Roswell, New Mexico, in a quiet established residential neighborhood roughly fifteen minutes from downtown and the UFO Museum. Like most occupied short-term rentals, the exact address is shared with you after you book — that is standard practice and it protects whoever is staying there this week.

Realistically, yes. Roswell has no meaningful public transport network, the house is a residential fifteen minutes from downtown, and the best things nearby — Bottomless Lakes, the wildlife refuge, Carlsbad Caverns — are all drives. If you are flying into Roswell Air Center, check car rental availability with the airport directly when you book your flight.

The listing does not publish a smoking rule or an events rule, so we will not state one here. Ask through Airbnb messaging before you book if either matters to you — you will get an answer from the host rather than a guess from a website.

We have not formally assessed it, and Airbnb's accessibility section for the listing is empty, so we are not going to claim step-free access or doorway widths we have not measured. Tell us what you need and we will measure it and answer honestly before you book.

The house is fully furnished, but Airbnb lists 'Essentials' under not included, so do not assume a full hotel-style supply of toiletries. If you need to know exactly what is in the linen closet for your stay, ask through Airbnb before you travel.

There is a fire pit on the back patio and an outdoor dining area and BBQ grill alongside it. New Mexico does put seasonal fire restrictions in place, so check current restrictions before you light anything — the state publishes them.
