🏡 Choosing Your Home
Which BEZ Rentals property should I book?
BEZ Rentals has two Los Alamos homes. The Los Alamos Home Base is a 3-bedroom home that sleeps 8 — ideal for solo LANL contractors, couples, small teams, and ski trips, about 6 minutes from the LANL main gate. The newer Home Gym Retreat is a 4-bedroom home that sleeps 10 with an on-site gym, a dedicated office, and a private backyard fire pit — better for larger families, bigger groups, and teams on longer assignments. Both are fully furnished and hosted by Brian and Emma.
Which BEZ Rentals home sleeps 10?
The Home Gym Retreat sleeps up to 10 guests across 4 bedrooms and 6 beds. The Los Alamos Home Base sleeps up to 8 across 3 bedrooms (3 beds plus an air mattress). If you have a group larger than 8, book the Home Gym Retreat.
Do both homes work for LANL stays?
Yes. Both homes are in Los Alamos with fast WiFi and a dedicated work setup, and both suit LANL contractors, scientists, and trade workers. The Home Base is about 6 minutes from the LANL main gate and is a great fit for individuals and small teams. The Home Gym Retreat gives larger teams more bedrooms, a separate office, and room to spread out on longer assignments. See our LANL housing page for a side-by-side comparison.
Which home is better for families?
Both are family-friendly. For larger families or families traveling together, the Home Gym Retreat is the better choice with 4 bedrooms, sleeping for 10, a home gym, and a private backyard with a fire pit. For smaller families on a standard Los Alamos or ski trip, the 3-bedroom Home Base is comfortable and close to the golf course and downtown.
Which home is better for longer work assignments?
For an individual or a small team on a multi-week LANL assignment, the Home Base is efficient, comfortable, and close to the gate, with weekly and monthly discounts on Airbnb. For a larger team that needs more bedrooms, a separate office for calls, and a home gym to keep a routine, the Home Gym Retreat is the stronger fit. Both offer extended-stay discounts through Airbnb.
