This hostess considered everything guests need to stay comfortably from the soft and warm duvet, thick towels, nice hot hot tub, kitchen equipped with everything one needs to eat in, places to gather and places to enjoy some solitude. We enjoyed the upper deck to watch the balloons on the weekend, or enjoy the birds and the vista of the Sandia mountains. Reinvigorate your senses by sitting in the enclosed garden with flowers that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, so many flowers. It's quiet with easy access to local attractions. Even the dining room table faces the mountain vista....Thank you for a lovely stay.

Very comfortable stay! Excellent cleanliness, and the host was super quick to respond to our questions. So many nice touches in the house, and the location was great. The neighborhood was super quiet, and the views from the balcony of the Sandia and city lights were perfect - highly recommend!

Comfortable home in convenient central location

We really enjoyed our stay here and felt the home was in a good location (10–15 minute drive to anywhere in Abq), had a great outdoor space, and was well stocked (i.e. quality soaps, tissue, nice bath towels, extra bedding, basic spices, etc.). Also, the checkout instructions were simple, and the owner even left us a nice welcome gift! We would definitely stay again if it's available the next time we visit.

Amazing Oasis

We had a great time here and will definitely be back soon. Honestly, the pictures posted of the hike do not do it justice it is a sultry gorgeous and well taken care of. The owners thought of everything and we didn’t need a thing!! The location was amazing and very safe! We had our 27 year old daughter and 18 month old grandson along and they adored the place. The Zen garden and fountain was the babies favorite. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home!

This house is nicely decorated and has a well equipped kitchen. We particularly liked having the kitchen and dining upstairs, from the dining room we could see balloons in the morning and city lights in the evening.

Great view of Sandia mountains

Our favorite part was the view though we were not able to see the hot air balloons. Beds were very comfortable. Great kitchen with staples. Yard with lots of plants and flowers. Easy location for going on outings. Recommend for a Albuquerque 3 bedroom house.

Great Place To Stay

Came to Albuquerque for a family weekend. This property was GREAT to stay at. Super clean. Lots of room. Lots of nice touches to the house. Fully stocked kitchen. The house is a little unconventional with the kitchen upstairs but with the view I can see why. (We did see hot air balloons take off!) Beds were very comfortable! Communication with Karen was prompt and very appreciated! We were pretty close to everything we did from the Sandia Mountain tram to Old Town to the Petroglyphs! Highly recommend

The comments below outline the key factors I consider when selecting accommodations. I have not covered every amenity.Overview: I felt extremely calm and relaxed during my stay at Casa Chiliwood. I loved the layout of the house. It was both spacious and cozy, beautifully decorated with indigenous art. I also appreciated the host's prompt response to any questions or concerns I had. Kitchen/Family Room: My favorite space! When we made meals, we could be together, visiting with those sitting on the couch. The refrigerator is very nice and has both ice and water in the door. There's a very nice dishwasher, plenty of dishware and cookware, extras like snacks, large "ball" ice cubes, and a very easy-to-use grill on the patio outside. Everything was spotless.Beds & Bedding: We only used the main and third bedrooms, but both beds were optimally supportive without being too firm. The bedding was excellent: soft, satiny cotton - precisely what I use at home.Family Room Couch: The big sectional was soft and very comfortable. I easily fell asleep while watching TV. Comfy furniture is a very high priority! Thanks, Matthew, for the detailed instructions, essential information, and reasonable checkout requests! It was a pleasure communicating with you and a wonderful experience staying at Casa Chiliwood.
