Art Obscura

Where to Stay Near White Sands National Park

"Down a tiled path through a cacti garden sits a cheery adobe art gallery turned desert getaway. Located in Las Cruces’ historic Old Mesilla, this home offers easy access to a quaint western town. Inside and outside of the rental, mosaics dazzle from the floors to the doors and walls. Choose between openness and privacy when you pick which memory foam mattress to rest your head on for the night: The master bedroom is tucked behind a wooden door, while the other king sized bedroom connects to the rest of the home. A carved out nook in the dining room holds a third resting place, perfect for a post-meal nap."
