House was as listed. Clean and welcoming. Easy instructions for entry and check out. Comfortable beds, soft sheets and spacious bathrooms. Highly recommend
This was the perfect place for our group of ladies. We each had our own room. This was close to the Event center and an easy drive to Albuquerque. We loved the decor! It had beautiful authentic pottery and copper wall hangings. The outside xylophone was delightful! Thanks for sharing this very peaceful place.
This place was great! There was everything we needed plus ! The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were a good size! I highly recommended this place to anyone looking for a good place in Rio Rancho!
We enjoyed how the house felt like home away from home! Plenty of space in and outside of the home. We especially enjoyed the fire pit. Also enjoyed the hot air balloons passing over! Will stay again! Host was extremely responsive and check in/out was smooth.

Donna's place was immaculately clean and so peaceful. We appreciated the space for all of us to spread out and the kitchen was stocked perfectly for our needs. The back porch is a beautiful place to have breakfast or an evening of family time. All of the benefits of Rio Rancho are within a few minutes' drive. Great stay!
We were in Rio Rancho for my nephews graduation. The house was perfectly located, neighborhood was quiet. The house was beautiful, well furnished, and very clean. Would definitely stay again!

The space was beautifully maintained with a homey feel. The kitchen and dining area made it easy for us to share meals and was perfect for the four adults who were staying there. We would definite stay there again.

About the host
Hosted by Donna Codd
Hello, my name is Donna Codd and I am currently retired and doing some traveling of my own so I understand how important a comfortable, safe, quiet place to stay that includes everything you need is. I have had rental properties for over 30 years and this is my second VRBO property.
I stay at Casa Tranquila about once a month so I am constantly upgrading the house and amenities. I hope you find everything you need and then some. If not please let me know so I can fix it.
Why they chose this property
This is a quiet out of the fray neighborhood with lots of space so you don't feel overwhelmed by anything. The house is also close to shopping restaurants and destinations which I love because I don't enjoy driving in traffic. It is the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
The house has been recently remodeled so it is a clean beautiful space to enjoy. Being on half an acre gives you room for everyone. The property has a fenced back yard and plenty of sand for the kids and dogs to play. Sand toys can be found on the back patio which is covered and has a table and chairs for the adults to enjoy while the dogs and kids play. There are currently no homes behind the property so you can see for miles and enjoy the birds, bunnies, roadrunners and hot air balloons.
