Explore Old Town, Pets+Yard, Work from Home

We love hosting! The Historic Adobe Abode meets modern comforts. Perfect for couples, friends, solo travelers, remote workers, and pets.

Your NM home base while you vacation, work, or visit family.

3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, living, dining, office area, kitchen, fenced yard with patio & fire pit, and off-street parking.

Walk to Old Town and Downtown, Museums, Sawmill District, coffee shops and restaurants. Minutes to the airport, UNM, and I-25/I-40 to hop to Pueblos, Balloon Fiesta, and more.

We welcome dogs, cats, and other pets, typically up to 2 pets. Please tell us a bit about your pets before you book.

We welcome non-pet owners, too, and our locally owned cleaning partners do a great job. However, if you have significant pet allergies, this is probably not the best rental for you.

If you are interested in a longer stay, have more than 2 pets, etc. please reach out to us.

Please note:

To keep our minimum cleaning fee as low as possible, we charge fees for 3+ guests and pets. Please enter your total guest count and pets, if any, so VRBO will calculate your cost correctly (We don't want to surprise you with fees ever!).

We have mature trees, and the parking is pull-in/back-in only (not pull-through) so tall vehicles such as RVs cannot park in our driveway.

There are two small steps into each entry door.

Depending on the time of year, our yards have grass, flower pots, shrubs, and trees, so we do get insects, including bees, mosquitoes, and spiders. We provide citronella candles/sticks, and RAID spray in case you need to deter/remove any particularly problematic little buggers.

Two active recording security cameras, including audio and motion lights, are in the driveway and front entry/walkway. We respect your privacy, so our cameras do not include any indoor space or the backyard.

Like most homes in the southwest, we have an evaporative (swamp but runs through duct work) cooling system. This means in extended periods (more than 3 days, typically) of very high heat and/or high humidity, houses don’t cool off like they would with A/C. This house doesn’t typically get hotter than 74 degrees even in peak summer but if you are heat sensitive, please be prepared. We do provide a window unit for an additional boost in mid-summer.

There are 8 car charging stations within 1.2 miles of the house. We cannot allow EV charging on the property. Guests disregarding this rule will be subject to a $300.00 inconvenience fee plus the additional kWh used and subject to any maintenance/repair costs to the property including but not limited to electrical inspections and repairs.

Guests who cause smells or damage to the house or furnishings due to smoking or vaping inside, using the woodstove, improper use of plumbing, insufficient pet control, tampering with the camera or batteries, etc. will be subject to deep cleaning and repair fees of at least $600.

For VRBO guests who do not have any/recent reviews, we do require ID+photo for validation. It helps us keep our property safe and in good condition. Thank you.
