The "Love Shack" Cozy Getaway Corrales Relax＆Quiet Village Feel City Access

We’ve lived in Corrales since 2000 and have poured years of time, care, and hard work into creating a peaceful home we’re proud to share. After running our own business for 30 years, we’re finally slowing down and opening our doors to travelers who want the comfort and security of a private casita with the warmth of local hosts.

We love this small, friendly village and its easy access to Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Hosting lets us share the beauty, quiet, and charm of Corrales with guests from all over the world. We match our guests’ energy! We’re nearby on our safe and gated property if you need anything, but we also respect your privacy if you prefer a quiet, independent stay.

And of course, you’ll be welcomed home by our two beautiful doggos, who are always happy to greet new friends.

We fell in love with Corrales back in 2000 and knew immediately this was where we wanted to build a life. This small, peaceful village offers the rare combination of open land, stunning views, and a true sense of community. Corrales has no traffic lights, no hustle, just quiet country living with the convenience of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho only minutes away.

What we enjoy most is the balance: rural desert beauty with everything a large metroplex offers just one mile away. Down the road you’ll find hiking, fine dining, bars, microbreweries, wineries, boutique shopping, massages, fishing, a public pool, a skate park, pumpkin patches, and a lively farmer’s and grower’s market. Corrales also has a charming self‑guided walking tour and the historic Old San Ysidro Church.

This is a true horse community, and it’s common to see riders along the ditch banks. Wildlife is part of daily life here! We’ve seen bunnies, squirrels, porcupines, skunks, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, badgers, countless birds, and plenty of reptiles right on our property. It’s peaceful, natural, and full of character.

We chose this neighborhood because it feels like a retreat while still being connected. It’s the perfect place to unwind, explore, and experience the best of New Mexico’s landscape, culture, and safe small‑town charm.

What makes our property truly unique is the rare blend of quiet country living with big‑city convenience just blocks away. Guests enjoy the peaceful feel of rural Corrales. Wide‑open skies, horse paths, wildlife, and a slower pace! While being only minutes from shopping, dining, entertainment, and everything Albuquerque has to offer.

Our NONSMOKING property is designed for guests who value serenity, clean air, and a relaxing environment. You can unwind in peace while still having essentials, restaurants, and services close by.

Corrales itself adds to the uniqueness. Our village has become a popular filming location, and it’s not unusual to drive by and see movie crews at work. It brings a fun, behind‑the‑scenes energy to the area that guests love. At the same time, the village continues to grow with new restaurants, breweries, wineries, coffee shops, and boutique businesses, giving you plenty to explore without losing the charm of a small rural community.

What sets our property apart is this perfect balance:

Quiet, rural desert landscape

Friendly horse community

Wildlife sightings

No traffic lights no rush

Yet everything you need: shopping, dining, entertainment just minutes away
