A wonderfully relaxing casita at a VERY affordable price!

We found this casita to be very comfortable and well appointed. It is not a large space, but the furnishing and decor have come together to create a warm and engaging place to stay. Everything was very clean and in great condition, and Fawn, her son, and the folks "next door" were helpful and attentive to any needs we had. We highly recommend this casita and plan to stay again. Definitely check out the Range Cafe across the street, and enjoy the proximity of Albuquerque and Santa Fe so nearby.

Cute adobe casita near everything

We spent a week in this great casita near Albuquerque/Santa Fe. The train station was only a few minutes walk from the casita and runs to both cities. We took it into Santa Fe for the farmers market and to shop at the Plaza. It is walking distance to a good eating place - "the Range". The place had everything we needed and was quiet, comfortable and cozy. Truly enjoyed it.

I am happy that you enjoyed your stay at the casita and found its location to be convenient. So glad that you utilized the Rail Runner and enjoyed the Range Café. I admire you for exploring the area on bikes, by foot and via the train. Having a sense of adventure enhances ones experience and makes a visit to the Land of Enchantment so much more rewarding. Thank you for such a prompt review. Enjoy the rest of your journey. I hope you pass this way again. Fawn

Cute studio casita close to Albuquerque!

We had a great time in the Albuquerque area for the Balloon Fiesta and Annular Solar Eclipse! This cute casita was perfect for my husband and I! Fawn sent great instructions for checking in and was very responsive to our request to check out a little later, which allowed us some time to rest after an early morning going to the Balloon Fiesta! There were some nice snacks waiting for us in the casita, which were very much appreciated during our car rides around the area. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends and I would stay again.

All the Ambience of a quintessential casita was on the Exterior!

This casita was a good size for 2 people, however it lacked in the kind of esthetics you want went traveling i.e. the rich flavor of the culture. Instead we got a vibe of a hodgepodge of furniture (no comfortable chair for reading ) Bedding, linens and accessories were not at all quality goods. Disappointing for such a potentially lovely casita.
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022
Response from VrboOwner on Oct 5, 2022
Thank you for your opinion. The pictures on VRBO reflect the interior of the casita, thus the reason numerus guests have booked it over the many years its been available. The "hodegpodge" of furntiure reflect the finds of furntiure I have made over 26 years of having an antique store in Bernalillo. There is a chair there which takes space that some people prefer to use for their luggage. As far as having the "rich flavor of the culture" represented within the confines of a 600 sq ft casita, most guests choose to explore the surrounding area in order to experience our rich multi cultures. We are centerally located so one can plan several day trips on scenic byways, visit 7 pueblos, as well as the National Hispanic Cultural Center, the Coronado Stae Monument and the Sandoval County Tourism Center. Travel guides are readily available in the casita. I am a Native American and a Native New Mexican. Our culture in the Land of Enchantment is of great pride to those of us who call New Mexico home. I hope you were able to experience even a glimpse of what the state has to offer. Perhaps next time you visit our state, a stay in Santa Fe or Hyatt Tamaya or Taos will be more suitable. Prices there start at a few hunded dollars a night.

Cozy Casita

We were in Bernalillo to attend a wedding and were able to have a long weekend for it. We stayed in this charming casita, and were so happy to have found such a clean, cozy, and quiet place to stay. It was so quaint and comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare a meal should we want to and the bathroom and shower was nicely tiled and stocked. We walked to the Range Cafe for a delicious, southwest breakfast every morning. Our trip was filled with social engagements related to the wedding and we, regretfully, did not have the time to see more of the shops and activities within the local vicinity. We are definitely going to return for a leisurely stay without time restraints and responsibilities. The owner, Fawn, assured us she was available for anything we needed and was so hospitable and gracious. I can't wait to return.

Thank you so much for your timely review. I am elated that you enjoyed the casita and its amenities. I look forward to your return visit when you can explore the area without time restraints & other obligations. Each season in New Mexico has something unique to offer.

Just right for my needs

Grocery was a handy walk. Good restaurant was a handy walk. Place was well enough and simply appointed. Could use some soft seating - but it just wasn’t a big deal. One hiccup with the front door getting jammed, but a quick text and it was handled. With a sense of humor by all.

Beautiful casita with a few snags.

Adored staying here and Fawn was amazing. A few snags but nothing that would deter me from staying again. 1. I could not log on to the WiFi and literally had to go buy a hot spot. 2. There needs to be a seal around the screen door as there are a variety of insects that live to keep you company and 3. The bed frame was reversed so when you moved the bed frame moved and/or “popped up”. If you wanted to watch tv there was no alternative but to use the bed. Again, nothing that would stop me from staying again. Done judge by this, they’re merely minor suggestions.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. As far as your suggestions go- 1) WI-FI has worked for previous guests over the years once they use the correct password. 2) the bed has been set up like that since we started offering the casita on VRBO - numerous couples & long term guests have never had an issue. The bed is located where it is as it is a studio-as advertised- thus location of the tv- cabinet it sets on can be turned to watch from the table /chairs 3) we have monthly pest control service. As observed during your stay, the interior door was left open daily for ventilation for your 2 cats & 1dog. While our listing states we’re pet friendly- we are not pet FREE. Bringing yours 3 pets was not disclosed prior to your booking the casita - it was only called to my attention several days into your stay. I opted to not charge you a pet fee but will be sure to change my listing to add a pet fee to bookings. Eliminating cat hair / odors cost additional cleaning fees 3) we
