We loved the house and the backyard. We came for the Balloon Fiesta and could see them launch from the backyard. The house was perfectly clean and loaded with amenities, even a outside refrigerator with tons of drinks. If we ever are in Albuquerque again, we would definitley check to see if this place is available without hesitation.

Amazing stay

The house was immaculate, with many amenities, comforts, and added touches that made it a very special stay. We loved the beautiful space and the perfect view it provided of the mountains, downtown, and the Rio Grande. We stayed during the International Balloon Fiesta and saw many hot air balloons from property.

Short Albuquerque Family Visit

Our family of 5 grown ups enjoyed the majestic views and exceptionally well appointed New Mexico home on the bluff of the Rio Grande River. Hot air ballons and amazing sunrises greeted us each morning. The host was highly attentive, including leaving a sympathy note upon our arrival (we were in town for my father's funeral). Excellent place to stay in Alb.

Amazing View and Comfort Too!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The view was just as promised, the location was convenient for us and the house was easy to find. The home was quite clean, very well provisioned, and decorated outside for the holidays as an added surprise! Plenty of space and very comfortable. Not "just a rental" - it's a lovely home. We hope to stay again sometime.

Amazing Dream Property

This property was the best we have ever stayed at. The host was great, the house was better than a model home, the back yard was jaw dropping, voice activated lights and entertainment, and the refreshment refrigerator was over the top (a store quality glass front Coke cooler). Free beverages of course. State of the art everything. This is a dream property.

This place was perfect! Maggie was so accommodating when we had a mix up in our travel plans, she rearranged some of her plans so we could stay another night. She was in constant communication the entire time just to make sure we had everything we needed - which we did. House is beautiful and looks just like the pictures. Don’t hesitate, just book it!

Great VRBO!

We stay in 5+ VRBO’s every year, and this one should be on your list. It’s exactly as advertised, beds/linens/furniture is in good condition, comfortable and clean! 3 full baths. Garage parking. Homeowner had decorated for Halloween which was a treat. Outdoor areas do have traffic noise from the interstate but the house is quiet and restful inside. Views are lovely.

Great location, great house. If the wind is right you can see balloons!! 2nd time staying. We leave early and come home late so don’t cook or use much kitchen gear. Had issues with bathroom electrical and the home owner proactively communicated the issue and resolved quickly.

Wonderful Property

The house is great! Very spacious and comfortable. The open concept between the kitchen, living room and outside patio is great and takes full advantage of the fantastic views of Albuquerque and the Rio Grande. The kitchen is updated and well-equipped with everything you need to cook a meal. The bedrooms and bathrooms are appointed and relaxing. The tech set-up for music and tv/movies is awesome - Sonos and Alexa worked perfectly. The owner, Maggie was very responsive and helpful. Location is easy access to river bike trails and hiking. 5-stars from my family.
