It was a great time, but I would have enjoyed it more had the blinds been able to work in the bedroom. I loved everything about this place! Will definitely rent again!
This was a wonderful stay. The home was perfect for a peaceful, outdoorsy feel while still being a easy drive to everything we needed. The home was very clean and cozy. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our trip.

You are a dream guest and I'm glad that you really appreciated and enjoyed your stay.
Danny's property is truly amazing! Breathtaking views and comfortable beds. We only stayed one night on our way home, but we will definitely return for a longer visit with our kids to enjoy hiking in the beautiful area!
Lovely house, very quiet and the mountains are stunning. I was lucky enough to see a rare appearance of the northern lights. The house has everything you need and it’s close to small restaurants. Short drive from Albuquerque. Danny was extremely helpful and responsive. One of my favorite places to stay.
This place is absolutely wonderful a truly comfortable, peaceful, and visually stunning home full of Southwestern charm and personality. The views are incredible in every direction wide open skies, colorful mesas, and ever‑changing light that make the sunset feel like a show of its own.The design is warm and authentic, southwest art, high wood beam ceilings, and beautiful tile throughout. The home is also incredibly functional well equipped kitchen, spacious bathroom, and huge windows that frame the landscape perfectly Spending time on the patio with some wine is a great way to wind down a day.Danny, the owner, was gracious and easy to communicate with. You can tell he cares about creating a welcoming, stress free experience for his guests. If you’re looking for comfort, tranquility, and a genuine Southwestern atmosphere with unbeatable scenery, this place is an absolute gem.

My goodness Jerry you are so kind and gracious and generous. You've made my month, and then some!!! And thank you so much for leaving the place in such beautiful shape.
If this place is available, book it. The host was warm and friendly... he even called yo check on us. The view is incredible. Sunrise or sunset, you'll be in heaven as the sky is set ablaze. The house looks amazing! From the architecture to the beautiful decorations, this place is like a high end resort. Comfortable beds and couches are found throughout the home. Our stay here was great. Peace and quiet in this adorable desert community. One of the best units we've found on multiple platforms. Seriously. The entire experience was a dream. If this place is available, book it.
We had a great time in this rental. it was exactly where we wanted to stay. The sunsets and sunrises are stunning. The sky lights are great. Very quiet area. The host was very nice and accommodating. We were so relaxed after our vacation and would like to rent this home again in the near future. It had everything we needed.
Sunsets & views were amazing! Peaceful & quiet. Very comfortable & centrally located for Abq & Santa Fe excursions. Danny was accommodating & easy to work with. Response times excellent. Art & decor perfect for the location inside & out. Great southwest vibe. Would love to see screens on the windows/doors to let some fresh air in.
This was our second stay at Danny's house, so it was much like returning to our own Placitas home. The place is charming, very comfortable, well-equipped, and it's easy to set up shop for a fuss-free stay with awe-inspiring views. Placitas is a great town and a perfect home base for exploring New Mexico, but you may find yourself wanting to just stay home and enjoy the expansive vista instead. The landscape is stunning, the sunsets spectacular, and if you're a star gazer you won't want to come inside once it turns dark. Only hard part is saying good-bye at the end of the stay.
Everything was great except the info for the futon mattress that was available for use in the 3rd sleeping area. It was really difficult to wrestle it out of and back into the closet. A hide-a-bed would have been much more convenient. The views were amazing.

Another first world problem I will grant you. It is listed as a good size futon stored in a closet, so I'm not sure what the guest was expecting. The funny thing is not just a closet with a small door. It is a wide closet with double doors that open up.I've had many guests that haven't had no problem with that.. Fyi, the closet is wide open and empty and it's directly beside the floor where you would lay the mattress. It is a nice thick mattress that is a little bit heavy, but it's only queen size..If you lift it onto its side it slides right in the closet. It would not be suitable for an elderly person to do or someone that is weak or has a disability. Only larger groups would need to use that mattress, so it would be very very easy to do with two people. But by all means, if that is not someones idea of an easy, effortless or simple enough stay, this might not be appropriate for you if you are needing three beds.
The location of rental was excellent, but the property needs a LTC. In one of the rooms the sheets or pillowcases were missing. The decoration is a little off. Everything else was okay.

This was a pretty crytic or vague review. Would have been helpful to a least know what was meant by "decorations or TLC". Even the part about "pillowcases OR sheets" sounds a bit odd. Which was it? Either way, I passed the note on to the housekeeper. I'm guessing it was the pillow cases that maybe somehow slipped her mind.
Also, I have included below the disclaimer paragraph which is clearly pimcluded in my listing description. For practical purposes and basic consideration, as a host and as a person running a business, it is of course my sincerest hope to avoid disappointing or having to deal with fussy types of guests. Its very unusual that my guests don't rave in one way or another about the place and or location, because they are normal people with normal expectations and have fully read the listing description and book to enjoy incredibly beautiful unique location in an amazing and very comfortable home with all the modern comforts conveniences that a normal person could want. Many times, it's the artwork or uniquely crafted furniture that they notice and appreciate.
....l just wanted to make sure you are aware of the fallowing: If you are ideally looking for a, shall we say, fancy or high end type of accommodation, this may not be the right stay for you. If, however, you are very comfortable in very beautiful, very clean, but "normal" home in an amazing peaceful setting with a 24/7 stunning view, you have come to the right place.
Very southwest style home, with killer views from the living room and master bedroom. Decorated with an old style artistic charm. I really enjoyed my brief stay at this home. One minor thing to understand is that there's no television in the home. However, the wireless internet was quite sufficient to run whatever streaming you wish to have on a phone, laptop or tablet. This home is a great place to understand the lifestyle of living in Placitas, the prototypical Southwest style community. However, realize that you will probably need to shop and eat in bernalillo village, which is about 10 minutes drive away. But the kitchen works great for cooking if you wish, which I did, for breakfasts. It was the best place to stay of my 15-day trip between Albuquerque and Flagstaff this past summer.

There is actually a smart TV and an actual TV room. The keeper said the door was open so I can't understand how it wasn't noticed.. Either way, what a lovely lovely review. Reminds me to focus more on the blessings in life and all the kind folks and the goodness rather than dwelling on things that don't go so well or the not so great people. You got to take the bad with the good, but I'm going to milk this good one for all it's worth.

About the host
Hosted by Danny
Currently immersing myself in and exploring both Ireland and Chattanoogas amazing people, culture and natural beauty while devising and developing a very affordable and realistic project aimed at critically safe guarding all of America's extremely vulnerable at risk adolescence and teenagers from the extremely dangerous and violent neighborhoods and environments that they are trapped in from birth in a way that encourages and fosters the kinds of basic simple attractive, stimulating and stable opportunities which would allow any child to flourish, grow, develope, mature and become themselves, just as most of the rest of America's children are blessedly guaranteed and able to take for granted.
Why they chose this property
Placitas has the most profoundly beautiful setting I have ever been in America. The first time I passed through, I knew I had to live here.
What makes this property unique
For some reason, the particular spot where my house sits offers 0 poa vast open panaramoic view that is ridiculously amazing and usually somewhat mesmerizing. Sounds like a sales pitch but I will refund your money if you don't immediately agree when you arrive.
