Discriminating canines are invited to accompany their humans to Casa de Encantador for a special doggie rate of $25 per pet per night ( max $100 per pet per Visit). We will do our best to ensure that you and your human have plenty to wag about!
As a good boy/girl, please make sure:
Your humans do not abandon you inside Casa de Encantador, while they go off and have fun. We can recommend doggie-camp options or companion visits to prevent this all-too-common tragedy.
Your human has been trained to take you to a proper outdoor location to complete your regular business in the dignified manner to which you are accustomed. And, that your human does the cleanup job for which they were so well designed.
Your human does not cause you to howl, bark, whimper, whine, and potentially face an embarrassing charge.
Your human remains leashed to you when anywhere outside the gates of Casa de Encantador , since you’re not allowed off leash and would never have gone unless coerced.
Your human pays for any damage s/he causes you to inflict, as usually happens at home.
Casa de Encantador welcomes you for an enjoyable bit of panting and wagging, and invites you to sniff for a special treat upon check-in. La Arf at Casa de Encantador !

I would recommend this property without reservation. Hosts were lovely, home was well kept and equipped for any need. Location was also central to just about anywhere you would want to go.
The house is marvelous! Wonderful decor, comfortable furniture including the mattresses.My husband and I took his 2 brothers and one wife on vacation. So glad we chose this house. Nicolle is ready to help you at time.We had more fun playing a game Farkel that was at the house’. Close to museums and down town.
We had a lovely stay at this rental. A huge welcome basket greeted us when we arrived. The rooms were well decorated, the house was extremely clean and well stocked- it was a very inviting place to stay. Nicolle made sure everything was perfect for our stay, and every last detail was in place.
This is a beautiful home with thoughtful preparation by the owners. The owners are very committed to ensuring you have an enjoyable and comfortable stay. They are readily available for questions and suggestions about the city as needed. The decorations and staging are above par, and the layout is well done. It's close to Old Town with the better shops and restaurants nearby. Highly recommend.
Really lovely home, you feel the New Mexico vibe!Good location for activities in Albuquerque and going out for dinner and drinks. Nice to have coffee and cream awaiting one’s arrival, as well as stocked with cooking items if you decide to cook.
This home was within the country club area in downtown Albuquerque close to Old Town with access to I 40 and I 25. It's a quiet neighborhood with lots of large trees which is hard to find in Albuquerque. We loved our stay here and had everything we needed. Super sweet hosts with excellent communication.
This is a great place for a family. Close to activities and parks and a nice neighborhood for walking. All the necessary amenities and many many extras. We really enjoyed our stay!
Excellent home enjoyed the home decor excellent detail, enjoyed the decorated ceramic pigeon sitting on a wooded bench outside one of the bedroom widows. Only issue the air conditioner it was warm at times. The fans saved the day, however, the air conditioner shouldn't be neglected. Would recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Nicolle and Robert
We work hard ... But have no fear we play hard too!
Whenever time allows, we can be found cooking up a fabulous concoction in the kitchen (red wine in hand) & we often share with our guests too;) or we may be out & about walking the rio grande with our THREE, four legged family: Bella, Buck and Hank ... On many occasions, we visit the plethora of dog friendly restaurant patio's and can often be found on our bikes headed to a new SW Adventure in The Land Of Enchantment.

Why they chose this property
Historic Albuquerque, New Mexico is a combination of the very old and the highly contemporary, the frontier town and the cosmopolitan city. It is a city with a truly rich history!!
The petroglyphs, vistas, sunsets, food, art, historic attractions and lifestyle captured our hearts. The Albuquerque experience is wrapped up in four distinct & truly wonderful seasons ... all of which are stunning.
There are a variety of things to do in Albuquerque. Whether we were visiting one of the 14 beautiful golf courses & spas, taking a hot-air balloon flight over the scenic Rio Grande Valley, hiking among dormant volcanoes, horseback riding along the river, strolling through Old Town & Nob Hill to visit the many eclectic shops, being drawn into the amazing Art Galleries or visiting one of the local wineries to taste the grape! We found that Albuquerque offers a real breath of fresh air with a fantastic climate & warm wonderful people.
Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico, is packed with activities, cultural attractions and distinctive sightseeing opportunities & plenty of people watching too ;).
There was so much to do ... we stayed!
It is Our Primary Goal to make sure you Feel at Home & Have an Amazing Vacation Experience ... not just a trip!!
We would love to share our knowledge of this Amazing City & We have Tons of Tips for Santa Fe too ... Come Enjoy The Land Of Enchantment & Our Beautiful Retreat!!
At Casa de Encantador - For some it is the peacefulness, for others the proximity to Old Town/Downtown. Most will mention the perfect weather, four distinct seasons without harsh extremes.
But almost everyone's answer will include something about the SW charm!
What makes this property unique
I Know we have said it ... But is so Very CHARMING!
We are also very central to everything & minutes from The Bosque, Hiking Trails, Dog Parks, Downtown, Old Town, Nob Hill, The Zoo, Museums, Golf, Spa & Several Wineries!!
