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.

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.

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!

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.

Sorry for any inconvenience the listing does indicate that it is my personal home… one bar of the master closet was totally for for your convenience …five large drawers and six small drawers were empty to used in master bedroom. The garage is available upon request. I would’ve gladly taken the cars out of the garage and relocated them upon request..

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.
