The bearhouse is a jem. Super clean, tasteful, and amenities like a luxury hotel. We loved the southwest decor and Eloy was an excellent host. We had to cut our stay short, due to a family emergency back home. Eloy couldn't have been more kind or accommodating. We had a wonderful and comfortable stay.5* review.

Very pleasant stay in this home during our quick getaway to ABQ. Listing was accurate and communication from the property manager was very good. We did not use the outdoor space as much as we'd like due to weather and bugs but the place suited our needs well.

This was the perfect house for our trip to NM. The house and the yard were clean and well maintained in a very quiet neighborhood. Close enough, yet far enough from the airport. Great communication with the property manager. I appreciated that we were able to check in slightly earlier than listed since we arrived earlier in the day. I would definitely recommend this property for your stay.
