About this property

Historic 1925 Pine Cone Inn

Just steps to the national forest, this fully equipped historic mountain style home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience to Albuquerque, Santa Fe and the East Mountains. Plan your vacation for hiking, biking, ski or just relaxation. The former 1925 Pine Cone Tea room was the stopping off place for refreshments for those traveling back and forth to ABQ from the top of the Sandias. Then it was an all day trip.

Located at 7,000 ft elevation beneath towering ponderosa forests of the East Mountains along the Sandia Mountains and world famous Turquoise Trail, this affordable 1,400 sf self contained apartment with private entrance is situated in historic Tejano Canyon and along the original route to the Sandia Ski Hills & Trails.

Just 15 min to Albuquerque, 25 min to airport and 50 min to Santa Fe. Enjoy scenic day trips to historic mining towns of Golden, Madrid & Cerillos. Continue to famous Santa Fe & Taos and visit historic old towns with outstanding restaurants and world renown galleries.

Use this beautiful and peaceful setting on over 2 acres as your base camp. Perfect for a romantic get-away or family vacation.

Bring your mountain bikes, horses, running or hiking gear and step right into hundreds of miles of national forest trails.

Just a half day hike to the top of the mountain depending upon your ability (10,000+ elevation). Close to public horseback riding. Just a few minutes drive to Sandia Ski Hill, Capulin snow play area, trail heads and Sandia Peak scenic overlook & restaurant (10,567 elevation).

Find peace and seclusion, away from the crowded trails. Short drive to cafes, Ribs bbq restaurant, Greenside Cafe, gallery, gift shops and more.

Full service grocery store, Triangle Grocery, within two miles for all your needs.

East Mountain Retreat

My wife and I stayed a few days at the Pine Cone Inn while we were visiting our son who lives up the mountain about 20 minutes. It was a very pleasant and comfortable experience for us. Our host, Brad, is very thorough and communicates every detail (and more) about the property and the east mountain area to ensure a great experience. We've stayed before with Brad at his larger property closer to Cedar Crest. Both are top-notch properties with attention to every detail. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at the Pine Cone Inn! It was just what we needed to decompress for a week. Located just far enough away from Albuquerque for peace and quiet, but close enough to easily drive down for dinner and to enjoy the balloon festival. It's on a quiet road, with the top of Sandia Crest and it's amazing panoramic views from a deck and walkways at a 10,700 feet altitude are just a 20-minute drive up the road. And all along that drive there were countless wonderful hiking trails ranging from easy to difficult, many of them ending up with amazing views in all directions. The house was spotless, with comfortable beds and linens and was very cute and cozy. It has a wonderful front patio area to sit and relax and a very nice hot tub with great views, surrounded by a pine forest.There are lots of little places to grab something to eat nearby if you don't want to drive into Albuquerque, and a beautiful golf course and dining room with an outside patio and deck to watch the sunset less than 10 minutes away. Brad, the host, was extremely communicative and helpful and we were happy to have rented from him and will do so again in the future. You really can't go wrong with this wonderful little secluded Paradise!

Most amazing spot and host!

Brad was the best host we’ve ever had! The spot was beautiful and well lit for our arrival and had flowers waiting for me, as this was my birthday trip! He provided excellent information about the surrounding area and places to see and try for food. We will most definitely be back!
