Welcome to BNC Farms! We are located smack in the middle of desert in Chaparral, NM. We have two short term rentals on the property. The Desert Dome and Harvey the Skoolie. Both are unique stays. We love to show people the beauty the desert has to offer. We also live on site and are around to answer any questions or help you out. We want all of our guests to be able to enjoy their stay and have as much privacy as possible. Both stays have a fire pit and their own hang out area. There are farm animals on the property! Your fur babies are welcome, we only ask you keep them leashed at all time. If you would like to see more about our rentals, or see local recommendations check out our instagram @BNC3Farms. We look forward to hosting you. Bailey and Nadia** Please read the entire description** This is a great location to use as "home base" to take day trips to White Sands National Park, Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Hueco Tanks State park, and the cities of Hatch, Cloudcroft and Ruidoso, NM (we often go up to visit just for the day and come home). Our geodome was built in 2001 by multiple people within the Chaparral community. Chaparral is nestled right in between El Paso, TX and Las Cruces, NM. Both cities can be easily accessed from the dome. The inside boasts an open floor plan with living room, dining room and full kitchen. The living room has 2 futons, large reclining couch, and a smart TV. Please come prepared with your Netflix/Hulu/Prime etc. account information. There is a full bathroom downstairs with a washer and dryer. The upstairs loft has a king size bed and with a unique view out the large window. There is also a half bath. The back door has a doggy door for your fur babies that leads to a fenced in area. We understand you may want to do activities that your pet is not able to go to. Your pet is welcome to stay in the home but MUST be kenneled if left alone. Failure to do so could result in an additional fee and any repair costs. We do not recommend leaving your pets unattended during the summer months. Please remember this is the desert, there are goat heads (thorns/stickers) here aka “picas”. It’s apart of desert life, so we recommend wearing tennis shoes or boots. If you are bringing pets along we recommend doggie shoes for them although, not a requirement and most pets are fine. Pets are allowed here, please consider this if you deal with any allergies. There are Ring cameras on the outside of the dome for security purposes. Important: June-September is monsoon season in our area. It's also summer time and very hot. The dome is run by a swamp cooler. This is much different than refrigerated air. You may find the air to be humid inside and the swamp cooler is only able to cool the house to a certain temperature. This time of year also brings flies around. The flies can be mitigated if you open and close the front door as quickly as possible. Please note, the dome is very close to White Sands Missile range, which is an extension of Ft. Bliss. There are military trainings that occur here and you may hear noises from it. At times you may be able to watch the tracer missile's fall from the upstairs loft. This usually occurs during the summer time but can vary. We personally find it very interesting and enjoy it . With that said, we do not want our guests to have any surprises when they get here about desert life. The desert is beautiful, the sunsets and sunrises are breathtaking and the dome offers quite the unique experience. We love the desert and hope you'll love it as much as we do. We can't wait to have you as our guest!

The Desert Dome @ BNC Farms🌵

The kids and I enjoyed the camper and thought it was the neatest thing to stay in. I give it 5 stars because unlike other campers/RV places this one has a playground that even my 9 year old could play on. Also, the hospitality was all there with plenty of water bottles stocked in the fridge, coffee and extra batteries for the remotes. The coloring pages for the kiddos was the sweetest touch. Thank you for hosting us.

Loved this place! Bailey was amazing. We arrived late and they left the lights on for us which was very thoughtful. We got to see some of the goats walking around and we met the donkey! Will definitely come here again if im passing through. So peaceful, clean and space was bigger than expected.

Thunderdome is an amazing home!

The Desert Dome @ BNC Farms🌵

The Thunderdome is an absolute gem! My wife and I felt right at home, the space was very spacious for us two and was very cozy and well decorated. Bailey is an extremely friendly host, we talked to her for about an hour when she let us feed her donkey and goats, she told us some history about the home and about it’s surroundings areas which was very interesting to hear. We definitely want to come back!

The desert dome is a dream!

The Desert Dome @ BNC Farms🌵

An incredibly cozy stay, perfectly maintained, with all the amenities! The amount of thoughtfulness and care shown to us during our stay was far beyond the call of duty, communication was extremely pleasant and fast. The view across the desert is stunning, waking up to it through the huge picture window from the wonderful bed starts your day off right! Grilling on the barbecue and the fire pit or using the gas range and microwave makes for delicious home cooked meals, but we were also left plenty of information for eating out or ordering takeout! The locals are very friendly but leave you in peace, for an all around relaxing and lovely getaway!

The Desert Dome @ BNC Farms🌵

I do not have enough words to describe how wonderful our stay was at the dome house. Bailey and family are so accommodating, sweet and available via message while we stayed there. The amenities, any and all needs we could have possibly asked for were above and beyond. My family of 5 (10yr/6yr/4yr olds myself and husband) easily and comfortably fit/slept/and had space in the dome! We easily drove to Franklin State Park, White Sands, and many other national and state parks from the centralized location at the dome. It truly makes everything you want to see easily accessible. Bailey had a 4 day old baby goat with a leg injury she was nursing back to health. Allowing my littles to help feed was the highlight of their trip. They affectionately named him Oreo, lol. We were sad faces leaving this morning and already planning on returning. Thank you again. We had an amazing time. I will be referring everyone I know to come book the dome house with you!

Desert Oasis

The Desert Dome @ BNC Farms🌵

What a wonderful stay. The Desert Dome is incredible and a wonderful way to experience the area. It’s close to so many adventures and attractions in the area. It was a delightfully comfortable sleep - the king bed upstairs is so comfortable. It was really nice to have a stocked bathroom with supplies you might need. The animals only add to the charm of this desert oasis. Bailey was very kind to share them with us and also communicated frequently whenever questions arose. It was the perfect place to rest our bodies after our long road trip from the east coast. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. We hope to return soon!

The Desert Dome @ BNC Farms🌵

We wanted a FUN place to stay with a centralized location to visit White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains. This was PERFECT. Even the couch was a comfy sleep! Everyone in the group said they slept well & the place was really clean! ❤️ Also LOVED that we had access to a washing machine and dryer for the kids clothes after White Sands! 🙌🏼 Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

The desert dome was perfect for our trip to New Mexico! Very cozy and well appointed. Nearby Aguirre Springs is a must for a day hike. Quick trip into Las Cruces or El Paso from the dome made getting food and supplies very convenient. Looking forward to our next stay!

The Desert Hideout 🌵

Made the stop from LA - CA and this was our most anticipated stop. Hosts are top notch and despite the heat of the day, the night time and the mornings are stupendous. Stay here and make all of your friends jealous !

The Desert Hideout 🌵

We had a great stay at The Desert Hideout. It was the kids first time in an RV and they both loved hanging out in the bunks and watching movies much more than tent camping. Although I didn’t pack well, Bailey had everything we could have needed to cook, shower and entertain ourselves, including a few board games and DVD movies. We saw bunnies and a mommy quail with her babies and watched the sunset while cooking s’mores over a camp fire the first night. The beds were comfy and the AC kept us cool. Hope to make it back one day.

Adorable, unique and dog-friendly!

Group trip ·

The Desert Dome @ BNC Farms🌵

Loved this quirky, well-appointed dome home! The mountain views and rural setting make it feel like camping, but with amenities like full kitchen, hot shower, electricity, and two Smart TVs (one downstairs, one in the loft). It's super pet-friendly —the owners are clearly dog people!—with a fenced dog run in the backyard. 10 minute drive to the closest restaurants, 20 minutes from El Paso, and about 90 minutes from White Sands National Park. We had fun playing board games and watching the sun set over the mountains while eating tacos from the neighborhood. Adorable place with great communication from Bailey, the host. Would happily stay here again!
