Why the Owner Chose Albuquerque
Albuquerque is the unsung hero of the south west. It is a wonderfully diverse town with great weather and lots to do. From the majestic 11,000 foot Sandia Mountains to the Rio Grande Valley, you will find friendly laid back people and wonderful local food. The North Valley of Albuquerque is the historic part of town and is very centrally located to access many other areas.
Wonderful area with historic plaza, interesting shops and restaurants, museums and galleries.
A paved trail that runs the length of the city and allows access to trails in the bosque (woods) along the river and the nature center.
A natural food store with great deli and healthy planet friendly products.
A wonderful grassy park with exercise stations, play areas and close to the museums.
Lovely nature center with bird ponds, gardens, trails and museum.

I did most of the rennovation work myself and am very proud of the way it turned out. I live in a seperate guest house on the property and being a licensed massage therapist with 14 years experience, I am now offering on-site massage to my guests.

"Justin, Thanks again for everything! We've really enjoyed our stay here- some of the best rest we've had in a while. It was very comfortable and we really appreciate all the local information. This has been the best city for food, we're sure to have gained 10 pounds each but it was worth it. Thanks for your hospitality. We hope to see you again and we'll spread the word about our wonderful stay! Sincerely, J.R and Erica Mounts."
