About this property

Minutes from the Airport, KAFB, UNM, and the historic Nob Hill!

This house is in the perfect spot to stay while visiting Albuquerque for a weekend or a long stay for work or anytime in between. The house is located in the beautiful and historic Ridgecrest Neighborhood just 5 minutes from the Albuquerque International Airport. Also located less than 5 minutes away is the University of New Mexico, Kirtland Air Force Base, Sandia National Labs, the VA Hospital, UNM Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital. Military welcome. Also nearby is the historic Nob Hill district where you can find many of Albuquerque's best restaurants and shops to browse. As hosts we can offer advice on the best local restaurants, shops and fun things to do around town.

The house is 1600 sq ft with large green front and back yards all to yourself. This house has a large master bedroom with raised ceilings, vegas, a ceiling fan and a connected master bath. Two more large bedrooms, another full bath, living room with gas fireplace, dining area and a large kitchen make up the interior. French doors open wide to the shaded backyard patio complete with outdoor table and chairs and a fire pit for those wanting a little evening ambience.. A giant elm tree shades the backyard with peach, apple, fig, lilac and juniper trees ringing the outside. Any fruit in season is yours to take. The backyard is walled in with a high gate so it is perfect for those traveling with a dog. The front porch also opens onto a nice lawn shaded by two large ash trees. Enjoy relaxing by the fire pit after a long day of sightseeing or work.

The Ridgecrest Neighborhood is one of Albuquerque's most well known and beautiful areas with large mature trees, grassed medians, many local parks and a quiet and relaxed neighborhood feel. You will enjoy taking easy walks around this neighborhood and if you are here during Christmas Eve you will enjoy one of Albuquerque's famous luminaria displays on Ridgecrest Avenue.

This will be your home away from home whether traveling to see the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and it's other sightseeing opportunities or just needing a place to stay for a longer period for work. We want your stay to be relaxing and restful while you enjoy all that Albuquerque has to offer.

Perfect Stay!

What a great place in a quaint neighborhood. Perfect for pets and very roomy with comfortable beds. Honestly, pictures don't do it justice. The backyard is private and that tree is just awesome. Will definitely stay again.

Christmas vacation

We really enjoyed our stay in ABQ. This house was very close to the airport. Just minutes away. Loved the chiminea in the backyard. It was fun to have a fire after dinner. The faucet in the shower was very confusing. The house was very dated but,so comfortable.

It a great house, love the original architecture. We noticed a lot of small ants in the master bedroom. Also it look like a hive on the outside of the main bathroom. SorrY about the late response. Busy with family stuff.

The host was wonderful! Alan provided clear instructions on how to open up, he allowed us to go in early and everything was ready for us! He responded to us quickly when we had a hiccup. He solved the problems and provided info about the house! He also gave us ideas about things to do. He was available when we needed help but was never intrusive!

Was a cool place!! Adorable adobe house! Giant tree in back - making for great pics!! Wonderful combo of retro versus new!! Beautiful tile in bathroom and kitchen. Only drawback was internet for us at least was a little tricky. Worked in main bedroom though. Make sure you print off info before arriving as I could not access codes or phone numbers. Would be really nice to have a small step stool for short 5’2” people like me! But very clean and lovely! . Great yard for dogs. Extra bonus we had a road runner we saw that ran across front yard twice while we were there!!
