We stayed here during the Balloon Fiesta. The balloons came right over the place! We loved the house. It was very clean. Small but more than adequate. It has a small but full kitchen. Morgan the property manager was vey nice, very helpful. She keeps the house stocked with coffee, tea, toiletries, sheets and towels. The internet worked very well. I would definately recommend this property.

I spent the month of November 2010 living in this wonderful casita, and I loved it! The casita is comfortable, cozy, and colorful. It was so peaceful and private. The kitchen is very well stocked. The back yard is adjacent to a neighborhood street, but it was very quiet. The setting is lovely, with large cottonwood trees and a view of the Sandia Mountains. There are great places for long walks nearby, either in the neighborhood, or along the acequias (irrigation canals). The location is close to restaurants and shopping, and convenient to the rest of the City, but it feels like an oasis away from the noise and traffic. I was on a work assignment in our downtown office, and the commute to downtown was very easy. The casita is very well maintained, and Morgan (on-site manager) was very responsive and helpful. I really enjoyed my time in this charming casita, and would go back in a heartbeat!

What a wonderful place to stay! A charming casita, with lovely touches and furnishings, clean and beautifully maintained. Very nice property manager too. Close to Albuquerque and just minutes away from the train stop to Santa Fe. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with the accommodation! Highly recommended.

Would highly recommend this property. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Manager was friendly and helpful. I rode my bike to the Rio Grande River and enjoyed meeting people in the neighborhood.

This is the nicest VBRO property we have stayed in. The casita is well maintained and very nicely furnished with quality Southwest furniture, dishes and decorations. Initally the property seemed a bit remote but it is really quite close to everything. Morgan was very helpful with directions, suggested activites and even a historical proscective. A perfect place for us to end our vacation. Thanks so much.

This place is an immaculately restored 130-year-old adobe, with new appliances and good plumbing, and is also nicely decorated. It's nice and quiet, and the owners are pleasant and attentive when you need them. Good marks there. Three downers: 1. The swamp cooler started making a noise like ripping sheet metal on the third, fourth, and fifth nights there. Each time, the owners were right there in the morning, but the repairs didn't last and it didn't help the sleeping much, whether the cooler was on or off. 2. There's really nowhere to sit outside. There's a very small enclosed yard, but it's all gone to weeds and the small metal table and chairs are uncomfortable. 3. Compared with other VRBOs in the ABQ/Corrales/Los Ranchos area, it's on the pricey side for what you get.

We just spent 5 nights in this comfortable, charming casita and loved every minute of our stay. I was amazed at how quiet and private it was, yet close to everything in Albuquerque. It even worked well for our 2 year old daughter who loved playing in the enclosed backyard. The grill was a plus! We will definitely return next summer for another visit.

History and charm and New Mexico warmth literally ooze out of this casita's adobe walls! We woke up early to catch the famous hot air balloons while still lounging in bed with coffee, had fun in Old Town and at the Tamaya Resort and an incredible day and evening in Santa Fe. No matter where we went, the casita was always a welcome home to return to and provided everything we needed for a unique and relaxing stay. Thanks Jan, Tony and Morgan!

I took my two teenagers with me to stay while I attended a conference. Tony and Jan were both very welcoming. The children were safe, happy and comfortable. The Sandia Tramway, Old Town and Petroglyph National Monument were both easily accessible from the property. There are also several beautiful wineries within a couple of miles. The price was very reasonable. We will visit again when in town.

We just adore our little casita located in the heart of Los Ranchos – we could even imagine ourselves living there! This casita is quintessential New Mexico – full of old world charm from the brick floors, the adobe walls, to the beautiful view from the large open windows! This casita has everything you need and more – just bring yourself because the owners have thought of it all! Owners are so great to work with – we plan to make ALL of our future stay at Los Terrones!
