I should have written this months ago but it's testimony to how much I loved staying here that I'm doing it now. I didn't have a clue where I was when I arrived from the UK and was dropped off at the HH on afternoon in late October last year but I stayed four days longer than I was planning to and that was because it turned out to be a bit of heaven. I'm a writer and had a big deadline so I spent more time in my room than most guests do but it didn't matter because I was so happy there. The bed was impeccably comfortable, the bathroom immaculate, the breakfasts delicious, the sunsets ... don't talk to me about the sunsets. A more peaceful place to work I could not have hoped for (nor a couple of gentler or more interesting hosts). I can't recommend this home from home highly enough. I am crossing my fingers and toes that I get sent back there one day. Maybe Rupert Murdoch will ask me to open an office for him in Las Cruces.

This is a lovely place to stay. Our two dogs were welcome and stayed with us in our room. There's a large, shared kitchen and a large living room with a TV. Fast Internet connection all around the property. Nice paths to walk and a smashing view. The place is kept very clean and in good repair. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!

We were greeted with a smile and a handshake "WOW' we thought they were waiting for US! It seemed they cared we were there, again WOW! THe Southwest room was ours for the next 10 nights. It was a large room as was the attached bath and beautiful tile shower. The bed was the most comfortable I had ever slept in. There is a large TV room for relaxing at night, a kitchen if we choose to use it, dining room and so much outdoor space. The Hilltop Hacienda overlooks the city of Las Cruces, beautiful at night all lit up and surrounded by those mountains that change color and character as the clouds pass. Bob and Teddi have carved out trails with seating that allows you to take advantage of every bit of the sun and interesting terrain. Bob and Teddi invited us along to Hatch, NM on their errand day. We were treated to views of chile fields ablazed with color. Hatch Chile Market treated us to fresh roasted chile's, so very good. I found christmas ornaments for my family in the downtowm saturday market, what an experience. Bob and Teddi were so kind and full of information about their city and the sites. We have new family in this adorable couple. You must include the Hilltop Hacienda with your next visit to New Mexico, I certainly will.

Perhaps you need the edginess of modern motel life to keep you in tune on business trips. But, if you’re like me and benefit from gracious surroundings, great views, and charming company, with marvelous food and sleep, then Hilltop Hacienda is a dream-come-true. Teddi and Bob greeted my late-evening arrival with flashlights and smiles. Days ended with a quiet, calming Southwest Sunset.

After decades of bad sleep and stressful days consulting with computer and accounting people throughout New Mexico, my recent trip to Las Cruces was the best yet, largely due to Teddi and Bob. I will bring my wife on the next trip and stay some extra days for pure pleasure. We’ve stayed in B&Bs before, but this one is the best.
