AMAZING PLACE. My family had the best time using the house as a home base for Albuquerque and Santa Fe and on our last day we spent the entire day playing board games, going for walks, doing the treasure hunt, cooking, enjoying the beautiful grounds, making a fire in the fire pit and just feeling completely at peace and at home. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do to make your guests feel welcomed. We hope to visit again soon!

The property is gorgeous & well kept. (Wish we could say the same for the neighbor but we couldn’t see the neighbors property thankfully with the tree coverage). Overall great stay, serene atmosphere inside and outside, we enjoyed the scavenger hunt and super close trek to Albuquerque! Thank you for the quick responses and sharing your beautiful space with us.

Thank you so much Rachel for the kind words. The Balloon Fiesta and the Mountains are such a lovely experience. Yes, in remote areas we cannot control as much as in the cities, so we are grateful for the tree coverage as well. Please take care and come back anytime!

Perfect mountain house retreat!

We enjoyed the mountains all around us, the birds at the feeder, the book collection and coffee around the fire ring one morning. We even saw a few shooting stars as well! It's a short, scenic drive to hiking /climbing trails, to Albuquerque and Santa Fe for shopping or to experience the Sandia Peak Tramway. Such a relaxing home. Thank you!

Clean, quiet home in the country

This is a lovely home in a rural setting. Very quiet and private. It was very clean and the kitchen had everything I needed and more including coffee, cooking oil, and spices. We enjoyed watching the birds while eating breakfast on the patio. The a/c and the wi-fi worked great. Roads leading to the house are paved. The driveway is gravel and a little steep at the end. A 4-wheel drive vehicle might be needed in snow. Very nice property, highly recommend!

Beautiful Mountain Home

My mom & I had a very pleasant stay at this property. It had everything we could have possibly needed and we felt immediately at home here. The views were amazing, there was an abundance of space and really loved the cabinet full of games. Surrounding neighbor’s dogs and roosters might be an issue for light sleepers but we didn’t mind them. Important to know that property shares a driveway with another home and they have several protective dogs but their property is fenced. We only had one issue during our stay but the owner was easy to reach and very prompt in helping to resolve the concern. Highly recommend and would love to stay here again next time we’re in ABQ.

Nice mountain getaway

Such a fun stay! Great communication with host. Very comfortable home - had everything we needed. Pretty views - slept with the windows open to get a cool, fresh breeze. Would suggest you arrive before dark as turnoff is easy to miss. Plan to bring groceries as no real grocery store nearby. We cooked one might and grilled another- found everything we needed. We had no issues with neighbors or dogs. Sounded like a rooster crowing competition in the mornings and at dusk, but it suited our surroundings perfectly and added to the experience. Lots of great family time. Would visit again.

really nice home with amazing outdoor space

we stayed in this lovely home when we came to attend the balloon fiesta . I had a lot of questions for the property owner and she was always very quick and informative with her responses . once we arrived, we couldn't locate a hair dryer and she quickly provided 2 hair dryers for us to use during our stay. each room in the home was so nicely decorated and there was even a flashlight in each room just in case one was needed. There was also a nice bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived . the outdoor space is so beautiful and we loved the bird viewing area . we even saw a bunny there one afternoon . we would absolutely stay there again if we ever travel to the area again !
