What guests think
Across recent stays at Sage Cottage: Cozy & Serene/ Sleeps 6 / Huge Yard!, travellers describe a comfortable, family‑friendly base near Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains, with convenient access around town, cozy common areas, kid‑pleasing upstairs space, and a yard.
Across multiple reviews, the upstairs bathroom or shower is too small or unusable for adults, kitchen supplies are limited or missing, and there are occasional cleanliness lapses and maintenance issues such as odors, worn cookware, and a leaking or nonworking shower. Guests often report straightforward check‑in and generally responsive hosts, though one stay noted no reply, and experiences with Wi‑Fi reliability and street noise vary. Expect a simple, practical stay suited to park visits rather than a fully equipped, two‑bath setup.

Everything about this place was great, from the family/living room for evening movie watching; the kitchen for cooking; kitchen table for card/board games; the two large first floor bedrooms; the most comfortable twin beds in the quiet upstairs; and the patio/yard! Highly recommend this!

Great Property! May want to check out grill! After cleaning we were able to use it! Someone put Charcoal in it. Small oversight… but I thought I’d mention it. Everything was perfect otherwise!! Thank you!!

Cleanliness
Many stays describe the home as clean, but several reviews report serious lapses such as leftover food in the oven, debris in the shower/bed, and dirty vents. Overall cleanliness feels inconsistent.

Overall the property was ok, but it definitely needed a good cleaning (broken glass in the shower, someone’s loofa hanging in the shower, used towel hanging behind bathroom door, dirty shower mat, dirty sock under the bed, dry cereal in the bed upstairs). It’s an older home that needs some TLC - upstairs shower did not work, closet door off track, many missing doors knobs, etc. Attempted to communicate with the host upon check-in with no response. Did not hear from her at all during our 3-day stay.

Overall, the place was nice. Our biggest concern was the smell in the kitchen. We could not find what was causing a horrible odor. We threw the trash out twice even though we hadn't really put in anything that stank. However, last night my husband opened the oven, and low and behold, found the grossest pan of meatballs and spaghetti that had been in there for quite awhile. It was moldy and beyond stinky. That oven will need to be aired out and really cleaned. He got sick to his stomach it was so bad. Other than that horrible problem, the house was nice and clean. We weren't sure why the closet door was not on the closet frame but rather leaning in the closet, and there was something sticky by the nightstand on the floor. We would have cleaned it, but there were no paper towels or napkins anywhere. The a/c worked great, was loud when watching tv, but we just paused the shows and waited for the air to turn off. The a/c vents were pretty dirty and I would have cleaned those also had there been paper towels. Other than those issues, it was a cute house. Thank you.

Three adults stayed for 4 nights as base camp for hiking trips to Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns National Parks. Worked well for 3 adults as each had a bedroom although upstairs would be better for kids. Sharing a bathroom downstairs was no problem. Kitchen supplies were adequate although paper towels would have been more convenient. Very clean and ample towels. Living room very comfortable. WiFi worked well. Access was very convenient for daily trips. Recommended if this would meet your party's needs.

Overall, the house provided what we needed: a place to rest after long days exploring the parks, but it does not provide what is advertised on the listing. The location and proximity to our activities was ideal for our family and the sleeping arrangements worked well. The listing of a fully stocked kitchen isn't accurate. The space is advertised to sleep six, but the kitchen did not provide items for six people. There was only ONE spoon in the entire house, there was not a skillet to cook with, one pot was rusted and had charred food on the inside. The upstairs bathroom is quite quirky and unusable if you are over 10 years old or taller than 4 foot so don't expect a two bath house for adult usage.

The house was fine for a few days with our kids while we visited the National Parks. It is located off of a main street so it’s not especially quiet. The coffee pot brews slower than I’ve ever experienced, and the cookware isn’t in great condition, so I recommend bringing some of your own kitchen items. The beds are comfortable but the couches are not. The house had a Christmas tree up which was a nice touch for the holidays. Overall, it worked well for the price and for the amount of time we spent at the house.

Overall, the place was nice. Our biggest concern was the smell in the kitchen. We could not find what was causing a horrible odor. We threw the trash out twice even though we hadn't really put in anything that stank. However, last night my husband opened the oven, and low and behold, found the grossest pan of meatballs and spaghetti that had been in there for quite awhile. It was moldy and beyond stinky. That oven will need to be aired out and really cleaned. He got sick to his stomach it was so bad. Other than that horrible problem, the house was nice and clean. We weren't sure why the closet door was not on the closet frame but rather leaning in the closet, and there was something sticky by the nightstand on the floor. We would have cleaned it, but there were no paper towels or napkins anywhere. The a/c worked great, was loud when watching tv, but we just paused the shows and waited for the air to turn off. The a/c vents were pretty dirty and I would have cleaned those also had there been paper towels. Other than those issues, it was a cute house. Thank you.

Fine property but several inconveniences. Upstairs shower is very small, not usable for any adult or teenager, so expect to only have one shower. Additionally main shower head is damaged and has a significant leak out the bottom of the head. No kitchen trash bags or paper towels were provided so we had to go buy some. Overall it was good for a weekend stay where we weren't at the house much.
Fine property but several inconveniences. Upstairs shower is very small, not usable for any adult or teenager, so expect to only have one shower. Additionally main shower head is damaged and has a significant leak out the bottom of the head. No kitchen trash bags or paper towels were provided so we had to go buy some. Overall it was good for a weekend stay where we weren't at the house much.

Three adults stayed for 4 nights as base camp for hiking trips to Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns National Parks. Worked well for 3 adults as each had a bedroom although upstairs would be better for kids. Sharing a bathroom downstairs was no problem. Kitchen supplies were adequate although paper towels would have been more convenient. Very clean and ample towels. Living room very comfortable. WiFi worked well. Access was very convenient for daily trips. Recommended if this would meet your party's needs.

The house was a nice place for us to come back to after exploring the area. We enjoyed our time in the surrounding National Parks, and found the house to be comfortable with all the things we needed during our stay!

The house was clean and comfortable. Pots, pans and sharp knives in the kitchen are dubious. Internet posed a problem. All in all I would stay in this home again.

Close to Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Guadeloupe National Park. Carlsbad is a nice town with plenty of eating and shopping options. We did make several meals and had what we needed to do that.

Rooms were perfect and the location was convenient. We have 2 suggestions for improvement. There needs to be more plates to suite at least the 6 people the home will sleep. A new heavier weight shower curtain or a curved shower rod, this will be to keep the curtain off of you while showering.
