About Karen Hayes

I am a single mother of twin seven year olds, residing in El Paso. We live very near this home, which allows me to quickly meet any needs of my guests, should something pop up! I consider myself a Kansas farm girl, and I like to stay busy with family activities. I'm one of those people who say 'I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as quick as I could!'.

Karen Hayes purchased this house in 2008
Why Karen Hayes chose El Paso

My family chose this home as our residence when we moved here in 2008. We lived here until making it into a vacation rental home in 2011. The home is in a luxurious, quiet, secluded neighborhood, bordering the beautiful Franklin Mountains. This results in a resort-like feel, provided in a home filled with only the best amenities.

What makes this house unique

This home displays panoramic views throughout. The views are most evident from the backyard, or on the back patio, providing a fabulous setting for grilling a family dinner! However, the majestic views are also enjoyed from the dining room, kitchen, living room, or even the master bedroom.

This property is fabulous. My family and my brothers and their families stayed for a long weekend recently while in town for a family wedding. We loved it and feel we got an incredible bargain. If we'd stayed in a hotel, we would have spent very little quality time together and would have spent just as much. Having a weekend "home" allowed us to have group meals and meet the needs of each family member. We had senior citizens, twenty thirty and forty year olds, a 2 year old, a 3 year old, and two small dogs. There was space for everyone. We grilled outside, the kids played on the play scape, we blew bubbles outside and took naps in the magnificent hammock. Every need was met, thanks to the lovely owner and her helpful staff. This is one of my favorite properties. We plan to return again.

El Paso wedding party

5 of 5
Submitted: October 11, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Hi, I initially rented Casa de la Montana from Karen as an alternative to getting my daughter ready for her wedding in a hotel room!

What a blessing this was to our whole family and to the bridal party. Karen provided a beautiful, well appointed home that was huge, quiet, accessible, and had great views of the mountain and night sky (from the backyard AND enclosed open-air courtyard). Shopping was convenient for many last minute needs.

Karen provided a means of access for all parties that needed it, so everyone was free to come and go as needed -- this was a huge blessing to give everyone that independence and freedom. Anything we lacked was provided within hours of our request.

We had wonderful places to meet, eat, talk, and play, but just as important, there were plenty of quiet spaces for everyone to retreat to if they wanted a little downtime or wanted to go to bed early or sleep in late.

Returning to Casa de la Montana each day soon began to feel like going HOME ( -- only wish I did own a home this lovely!)

Staying here was a positive introduction to the option of renting a home away from home to many of our family members.

We love this House
We decided to celebrate our family reunion in E Paso TX this year and selected Casa the la Montana as the place for us with family from Maryland and Chihuahua Mexico based on the description and the photos though the reality was even better. Everyone loved their stay there. The house is so modern, big, clean & Karen the owner is just so wonderful.

Owner's Response: Thank you Alba for your kind words! I'm so glad you chose Casa De La Montaña for your stay during your family reunion. It was lovely to meet your large family, and I'm glad you could all be comfortable in my home. I love to host families in my home, and it was no trouble at all provide a few extra amenities to accommodate yours. I'm sorry they chowed down all the homemade cookies and brownies I prepared for you before you got there, but I will have some more for you next time, as I like to greet all of my guests this way! Please bring your lovely family back again soon to visit us! Karen

The Perfect Place for a Family Reunion

I, my girlfriend, and her entire extended family -- a total of 15 people -- spent a wonderful week at this beautiful, charming, and spacious home. The owner went out of her way to be accommodating; she made sure that everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking to rent a vacation home in the El Paso area.

The way to stay in El Paso

The house was all that was promised. A fantastic view of the mountains. Quiet in the backyard where we enjoyed barbecuing. Fun with the family playing pool in the evening. Fully equipped kitchen. Highly recommend the house to anyone wanting an alternative to hotels. Best Mexican food I have had in a long time.

Owner's Response: Thank you Bill for your review! And thank you for choosing Casa De La Montaña! Everyone always loves being in the backyard, and enjoying the grand views of the mountains as well as the city! Please come and enjoy my home and my kitchen again soon! I am always adding to the amenities, so you'll be pleasantly surprised on your next visit with my new kitchen 'toys'!
Best,
Karen

Home away from home

Travelling 35 weeks out of the year on business it is sometimes hard to find a rental that feels like home.I was fortunate to find just a place in El paso, this spring, while working on a project there. The home was in a very good neighborhood close to everything. It also has a very scenic view of the mountains that I enjoyed in the evenings. Karen thank you for making our time in El Paso very comfortable, with your beautiful home.

GREAT HOUSE

5 of 5
Submitted: June 23, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
The pictures of the house do not give justice to the real thing, It was amazing. Had my sons graduation celebration there and it was perfect. The kitchen was amazing, and had everything I needed to entertain. Karen was very kind and helpful, especially when we had to up and leave due to fires near our home in Ruidoso. We would stay again especially having Karen who is easily to work with. I recommend highly, you will not be dissapointed. Thanks again Karen.

We loved our stay at Casa Del Sol! The house was beautiful, the yard was great for our kids and dog, and the mountain view was special. We had space to spread out, everyone got their own room, and the kids enjoyed playing with the toys and on the playset. Location on the side of the Franklins was close and convenient to most of the west side and there were restaurants and shopping nearby. Karen was wonderful and easy to reach, and any issues we had were promptly corrected. This was great for a family with four kids, and made our stay in El Paso so much nicer. We will be using Casa Del Sol again on our next trip!
