Owner's Map of Albuquerque
Steve and Kara Grant, the owners and innkeepers of the Downtown Historic Bed and Breakfasts of Albuquerque, have been residents of Albuquerque since 1999. When they first moved here, they settled in a typical home with their 3 children. But two years after their fourth little girl was born, they came across a unique house with an amazing story behind it in the downtown area of Albuquerque. The house was badly in need of TLC, but Kara fell in love with the house and Steve soon warmed up to it as well. They spent 6 months making the house livable and moved into it Christmas Eve of 2004. This house was the “Spy House” (ATOMIC BOMB SECRETS TRADED HERE), which they made their home for 5 years. The other building on the same property is the "Carriage House", which is the one we currently use for VRBO business.

The Carriage House Fit Our Needs Perfectly

My husband and I were in Albuquerque and instead of staying in a hotel, we thought we would try a rental for a week. The Carriage House fit our needs perfectly. The owners, Steve and Kara Grant were gracious hosts and we enjoyed being part of their "family" for the week. Their yard, their pets and their children added to the enjoyment of our stay. The entire neighborhood is part of an historical district and is within walking distance to some great shops and restaurants. Our other recommendation would be to make sure your visit is "in season". We found a couple of the tourist locations were closed in early November.

We recently spent seven wonderful weeks (from mid-January through early March) at the Carriage House! We loved the Carriage House: intimate, cozy and just the right size for the two of us. All facilities were as described except it didn’t say you would be taken care of as if you were family! Every request/problem was answered/solved in a timely manner. The Grants were terrific sources of information regarding activities, events, and opportunities in the Albuquerque area and the location was the BEST -- 15 minute walk to transportation hub, convention center, movie theater, restaurants galore, 25 minute walk to Univ. NM, Nob HIll shopping! We would return in a heartbeat -- loved the city, the carriage house, and the Grant family! Thanks for making our first trip to New Mexico so memorable.

I spent 8 days in Albuquerque for a conference and brought my husband and 2.5 year old son. We stayed in the newly remodeled "cabinet house" and it was fabulous! We called the owners Steve and Kara the day before and said we were coming in a day early, and the house was available so they said "no problem" and meet us at 11pm to let us in the house. Everything about the "cabinet house" was great, well stocked, quiet, comfortable. The owners were gracious, kind, and accommodating. They have 4 well mannered and extremely charming children, that played with my son and I even taught the girls how to knit :) I really can't say enough positive things about the rental house, the owners, and the property. We had access to their beautiful backyard for their bed & breakfast property with a wonderful patio, grass, and water display (my son loved it) Everything was just as fabulous and well maintained - as they said and I was exceptionally pleased. It was a 12 minute walk to the convention center, restaurants in easy access, my entire family loved staying here.My husband and son could easily access the zoo, aquarium, park and more. I come to Albuquerque a few times a year so we plan on changing from the stuffy hotel to the relaxing stay at the Cabinet House or Carriage House owned by the Grant family. I would recommend this property to anyone and everyone i meet that is staying in Albuquerque!

Home Away From Home! We stayed here for several months in the fall/winter of 2009-2010 during our temporary work assignment to Albuquerque. I cannot say enough good things about the property - quiet, clean, comfortable, well-stocked kitchen, and within easy walking distance of the library and two of downtown's best restaurants (The Grove and the Artichoke Cafe). The property managers are professional, polite, easily reachable, and provide the utmost in service. I highly recommend this VRBO and absolutely would stay again.

What a great place! Steve and Kara were so welcoming and friendly and the house was a real treat. Was in town a week for a conference at the convention center and it was only a brief 10 minute walk to downtown. Convenient for a quick stop in for lunch or a rest between sessions. There are also a few good choices for food right nearby. House was clean and comfortable. Thanks so much Steve and Kara!
