Beautiful, beautiful property!
There is a reason that I keep staying at Nicolle and Robert's properties, they really are amazing! This home is beautiful. We especially loved sitting outside in the back listening to the relaxing sound of the fountain. The firepit was great, as are the heaters that are outside (if it's chilly). All of the rooms in this home are beautiful and so well equipped, you won't want for anything. We did not spend a lot of time inside, as the back yard area is so comfortable! We appreciated all of the little extra touches. Any issues or questions, Nicolle is just a text away and any issues are dealt with quickly. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, can't wait to stay again!

Excellent Hosts/Excellent Property/Excellent Experience
This is a beautiful property with all amenities--and then some--that one could imagine. Nicolle and Robert are quintessential hosts, available to assist at any time. A simple text and Nicolle would have response. Her recommendations for lunch/dinner places in ALBQ and Santa Fe were excellent. As to the property, the hot tub, the fireplace, and the backyard are amazing with the view of mountains and the famous air balloons--we caught one on a Saturday! We were two families and celebrated our daughter's birthday at this stunning place. ALL IN ALL A FIVE STAR PLACE. Thank you Nicolle and Robert. We will certainly return. RM and family and KV and family.

Rio Rancho get away
Beautiful home and property. Beautifully decorated. I stayed there with my husband, mother, sister and four kids. We all had great rooms and the bathrooms were very nice. The kitchen and living room were very spacious and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful backyard and Jacuzzi. I will definitely be staying here again!

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 & 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.

We absolutely love, love, love living in the south west & hope to share all of it's wonder & beauty with you!

Why they chose this property

For some it is the Waterfall & others The Hot Tub or the proximity to Entertainment, walking trails, hiking and all The Land Of Enchantment has to offer. Most will mention the perfect weather, four distinct seasons without harsh extremes. But almost everyone's answer will include something about the views. Many homes look north toward the hills and mesas, all the way to the Jemez range and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Santa Fe. Others face the mountain, that smooth yet imposing spine of the Sandias which covers with snow in the winter. Some homes get both views. In another pleasant paradox of "El Alburgue del Pinon Life", these comforting views are always the same, and yet they change constantly thanks to the sun's evolving angles and the seasonal rebirth of high desert flowers and shrubs.With it's convenient proximity to both the Albuquerque-Rio Rancho metro, Bernalillo area, Placitas and Santa Fe, Rio Rancho is recognized as a unique – and a uniquely situated – bedroom, community for these areas.Rio Rancho brings The blessings of clean, fresh air, truly great neighbors, and the presence of the majestic Sandia mountains. Rio Rancho has it's own micro climate and is almost always 5 TO 10 DEGREES COOLER (if not more) creating a bit cooler weather in the Summer and a surprise of beautiful peaceful snow in the winter ... which provides all the best elements.Breath deeply and allow the beauty of the Waterfall, Sandia Mountains, pines, pinons and sage brush studded landscape melt away any tension. It is Natural New Mexico, nothing artificial, contrived or out of place. Yes, as far as we are concerned, ""El Alburgue del Pinon" has it all. Enjoy super close access to major thoroughfares, frequent outings to Bernalillo, Placitas, Old Town, Downtown, Nob Hill AND The Jemez Mountains, a spectacular drive from Rio Rancho. The dances and feast days at Jemez Pueblo are surreal. Jemez Hot Springs is a natural retreat for restoring body and mind. See You Soon!

What makes this property unique

I Know we have said it ... But it truly is an Outdoor Mecca - The Views, The Sunrises & Sunsets, The Stars, The City Lights are Natures Wonders & Truly Amazing !
