Om boendet

4BR Adobe Home with Pool, Sandia Heights, 360 graders vy

Vi hyr ut vårt en gång och framtida pensionär ut veckan eller månaden. Hemmet ligger vid foten av Sandia-berget ovanför Albuquerque. Med en pool som styr både utsikt över staden och bergen, är vår Casa den perfekta storleken (fyra sovrum) och plats för semester. Koppla av eller promenera! Vi är några minuter från Sandia Tram och några minuter från ett av New Mexikos sju vilda djurreservat. Skidåkning ligger precis bakom huset upp på Santia Tram ofta till och med mars (vissa skidåkning i maj 2019!)

Det finns vandringsleder i bergen (genom arroyos), en mycket tillgänglig cykel- och joggingspår för att säga ingenting om att vara bara tio minuter från en Starbucks, Barnes och Noble och fantastiska restauranger. Vi har också Trader Joes i närheten och en hel mat i området. Inställningen är hög öken (åtta till nio grader kallare än Albuquerque), hundra meter från den omgivande nationalparken och indiska länder. (Pueblo of Sandia).

Vaktel, roadrunners, rävar och ett stort antal sångfåglar kan höras i den djupa tystnaden. Indiana-länderna omsluter heliga platser (de driver också ett kasino) Bara 45 minuter från Santa Fe, är Casa Griffin 20 minuter från Albuquerque flygplats och några minuter från Sandia Peak Tramway, världens längsta flygspårväg (skidåkning, spektakulär miljö, trevliga restauranger på toppen) Albuquerque har indiska marknader året runt och är värd för varmluftsballonger, University of New Mexico och andra kulturella attraktioner. Det har också blivit en av de mer populära golfdestinationerna.

Förutom att besöka de många puebloserna i området, finns många dagsturer tillgängliga, som att besöka de naturliga underverken i Tent Rocks vid Cochiti Lake (drivs av Cochiti Pueblo) och Acoma America's Oldest Continu Inhabited City.

Om du reser med barn eller barnbarn, har Albuquerque ett fantastiskt barnmuseum och akvarium (med ett kafé som man kan smutta på koks och har grillad ost eller hamburgare när man tittar på hajar och ringar och många fiskskolor! ) och en förtrollande barnträdgård (komplett med slott!) i deras botaniska trädgård.

Spårvagnen uppför berget (Sandia Peak Tramway) är också en spännande resa för barn, såvida det inte är ballongfesthelgen, då folkmassorna tar en och två timmars väntan på resan till toppen. Bra restaurang högst upp. En fin mexikansk restaurang nedan är ett trevligt ställe att träffas eller vänta på dem som tar spårvagnen uppför berget.

Fullt utrustat inklusive två mountainbikes, höghastighetsinternet om du har en bärbar dator. Gästkonto tillgängligt för att kontrollera e-post på vår dator. Inga husdjur. Pool finns i mitten av maj-oktober. Vänligen fråga inte under någon period under en vecka. Det är ett hem att bosätta sig i om du letar efter ett ställe att komma hem till efter en dag med äventyr och aktivitet.

Eller så är det en bekväm plats att koppla av och bara vara i naturen. Det är också en plats som författare har hyrt för att arbeta med sitt nästa mysterium! Även om vårt hem sover åtta, är vår normala hyra fyra till sex. Bäst för en familj, två till tre par, tre till fyra golfare! Vi har fyra sovrum. Två sovrum har dubbelsängar, två sovrum har två enkelsängar. Vår idealiska hyra är fyra till sex gäster. Även om vi har förmågan att sova åtta, i verkligheten och helst kommer ditt parti att få ett spädbarn eller ett barn! fyra singlar eller två till tre par! Vi listar nu vårt hem som sovande sex, vi har två drottningssängar och fyra enkelsängar. På grund av vårt hemavtryck kan vi lätt rymma sex vuxna och ett par barn under nio.

Lovely, comfortable home from home in Albuquerque

Beautiful home in stunning location

The views from this home are breathtaking. Easy walking access to foothills and wilderness trails. The house is lovely, well appointed, and very comfortable & cozy. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We had a very relaxing stay and loved the sunset views and nighttime views (stars galore). The owners were so kind and went out of their way to accommodate us. I highly recommend this home, and we plan to return again.

A week on the Watermelon Mountain

This home was a great place for my wife, our two dear friends and me to base our travels in North Central New Mexico. The home was large, inviting and the pool was a wonderful way for us to cool down after our busy days exploring the Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos areas. The mountains behind us were glorious as was the view of Albuquerque and its suburbs below. The home was within 8-10 minutes of I-25 and no more than a 25-minute drive to any place in Albuquerque, a 40-minute drive to Santa Fe and about 2 hours and 20 minutes from Taos. We are hoping to return in 2025!

Out of State Family stay for an Albuquerque wedding!

Perfect home for Mother and Father of the groom to stay with additional family members. Our son lives in the neighborhood, which made it that much more convenient to do all the prep work leading to his wedding day. Great place to hang out, pool was great, views are amazing. Saw mule deer nightly on property, also caught a Lynx running through the side yard one evening, very cool. Love all the quail, they are all over the place. Saw few bunnies too. If you have adult family members or a couples getaway coming up, this home has lots of room to space out or gather around together. Has all the conveniences of home and more. The sunsets are wonderful and the city lights are truly magical to view from the property. So happy with our stay, definitely would stay there again.

Fantastic getaway

This place was incredible in the foothills of the Sandia mountains. It was so beautiful to see the city lights at night, and also the moon rising over the mountains, nestled in the backdrop of a spacious landscape. Added bonus, was the family of deer that would wander around the yard. It was very quiet, very serene, perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of Albuquerque. The house had everything including different areas to sit by yourself for a little peace and quiet. The owners were very responsive when we developed an issue with the garage door. They had someone come out the next day and fix it, which is awesome. We were all visiting from Michigan to visit our aunt that lives in Albuquerque. I know that when we come back, we would love to come back to this place, it was truly remarkable. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay

Albuquerque stay, 4 adults and 2 teens

The location is great. Close to Tramway Blvd so you have pretty quick access to both I-40 and I-25. The house has fabulous views of the city and great views of the mountains. You are also only about 5 minutes from the tram. The yard and pool are completely fenced so there was lots of privacy. The pool was crystal clear and the auto cover kept it clean when the wind kicked up (we only had it uncovered when we were using it). We had 4 adults and 2 teens in our group and there was lots of room for everyone. TV's with dvd players kept the teens happy. Two bikes were available in the garage, but we just walked the neighborhood and used the paved trail along Tramway. Starbucks was only ten minutes away too. The kitchen had lots of room and the appliances all worked great and there were plenty of utensils and cookware. Bathrooms were clean, towels provided, sheets clean, beds made when we arrived. There were even beach towels for the pool (we brought our own because we didn't know). There were also lots of notes on how to use thermostats, regarding food in pantry, etc. It made us feel more at home and less like we were intruding. We loved the house and we look forward to staying there on our next trip to Albuquerque. Try the tram, visit the zoo and the aquarium and the botanical gardens. Nob Hill and downtown have some great places to eat.

Albuquerque Gem!

This property was the best! It was fully appointed with everything you needed for a stay from coffee to greet you to bath products. They had written instructions for the home along with great recommendations for various restaurants. The outdoor areas were fabulous and the views were breathtaking!! The pool was a lovely place to relax. Checking in and out was a breeze. Communication with the homeowners was easy and you always received a prompt answer. This property checks all the boxes and more!!

Casa Griffin in an amazing place to stay

Amazing communication, easy check-in, and the views....AH-MAY-ZING!!! This home was perfect for the family, the boys loved the pool and the views during the 4th of July fireworks allowed us the opportunity to see all the displays throughout all parts of the city. The home is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood at the base of the mountain with easy access to main roadways and highways. From the heights to the south valley or west side in less than 30 minutes was a typical commute to visit our family and friends. We would absolutely choose this property for a future stay.

Perfect staycation

We came from Santa Fe to have a week staycation. It was perfect. We spent hours in the pool everyday. Also did a lot of early morning trail hiking and even picked prickly pears on out hikes for evening cocktails. The night tome city views were great, it felt like an LA view. Home exceptionally well stocked. We cooked most of our meals and had ever utensil, pot pan etc we could possibly need. Hosts very responsive and friendly !

We were not able to receive check in information until the day before our stay, so I got a bit anxious. After voicing this issue with the owners I was told they were going to change this process. The property is beautiful and the views are spectacular. Plenty of room for our party of 7.

Great stay at Casa Griffin

We are regular visitors to Albuquerque, but this was our first stay at this lovely home at the base of the Sandia mountains. Moira is a perfect host, inviting us to treat her home as if it were our own, from the pool to the espresso maker/frother (nice touch!) to the mountain bikes -- and a delicious bottle of Sangiovese. For our family, coming to the area for a wedding in Sandia Heights, the location was perfect, and it was noticeably cooler than the August temperatures in the valley. Sunsets over the valley were beautiful. The large kitchen was fully equipped and, hey, who knew that feeding koi was such fun? Thank you, Moira, for all the contact and consideration!

A little piece of heaven at the foothills of the Sandia Mountains

We have just turned from a magical stay at Casa Griffin! We have been staying in rental homes for our last five vacations, and this, by far, was the best ever. Andrew and Moira, our hosts, were beyond incredible. Moira handles the communications, and she was extremely responsive. By the time we finished the necessary e-mail correspondence, I felt we were great friends, and had known each other for years. Every detail was well organized and executed, even to the level of the provision of overnight, stamped mailers for the signed contract, and return of the very helpful information packet and keys. Moira makes her guests feel as though her home is their own, encouraging checking cabinets for things you might need! Our stay spanned the winter holidays, and provided a wonderful weather break from the frigid northeast. We arrived late on Christmas Eve, and as we approached the spectacular hilltop location, with stunning views of the blinking lights of Albuquerque below, we watched as 4 does and a large buck crossed the road in front of us. A magical welcome! Upon entering the home, we were greeted with some lovely edible treats, which we really appreciated as all the stores were closed. This might have been a Christmas treat, not offered at other times of the year, but it was wonderful. We were traveling with our four adult kids, and our daughter-in-law, and the accommodations were perfect! All beds were very comfortable, and the two queen bedrooms and two twin bedrooms worked perfectly for our group of 7. The house is equipped with absolutely everything we needed, the kitchen is spectacular, and living spaces ample and comfortable. The views from the house are unparalleled in Albuquerque, and sunrises and sunsets quite memorable. Sipping strong coffee and watching the sunrise, and sipping good wine for the sunsets, what more could one ask for in a vacation home. In between, we visited many unforgettable hiking areas and "attractions"......Ghost Ranch, where Georgia O'Keefe lived, Sky City, the oldest inhabited Native American pueblo, Tent Rocks, Santa Fe, the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, Malpais National monument, as well as spectacular hikes in the Cibloa National Forest, just minutes away from our "home." We stayed so busy. In what little down time we had, we took walks around the mountainside neighborhood, played board games, and enjoyed amazing 55 degree days. All of us would say that we would love to return. Many thanks to our gracious hosts!

Magnificent vacation home!

This was our family's third stay in this lovely home. The views of the magnificent Albuquerque sunsets and Sandia mountains cannot be beat. Watch the "lights of Albuquerque" turn on or storms roll across the skies from the home's grand picture window. This home is comfortable, clean and serene. The kids love the sparkling blue swimming pool and gorgeous backyard. The deck continues to be a favorite spot of mine for sunrise views and a cup of coffee. Views of Albuquerque are unsurpassed as you walk through the neighborhood (bikes are available too). Great shopping and restaurants are close in proximity. Truly, we are thrilled we could stay in this beautiful home again.

Stunning views! Great location! Endless charm!

Our family had the pleasure of returning to Albuquerque and we were thrilled that we could stay in this incredible home once again. Truthfully, we can't imagine staying anywhere else, even with the over 150 choices on "HomeAway''s" website. The homeowners are extremely kind and thoughtful! The house has everything you would need and more, with it being extremely well maintained. The beds and pillows are very comfortable! The views are spectacular from every view of the home! Our family loves the layout of the home and it's charm! We ate breakfast outside on the back patio by the fishpond and our lunches by the pool. Personally, one of my favorite things to do at this home, is not to sleep in but get up early to enjoy coffee on their magnificent deck and watch the sun come over the Sandia Mountains-it never gets old! We also enjoyed leisurely walks around the serene neighborhood, taking in more breathtaking views. There are bicycles you can borrow, helmets too, and get in a great ride around the neighborhood or hop on the bike path, a short distance away. There is so much to see and do in Albuquerque and there are restaurants galore with amazing food, but you could just stay put in this home and be perfectly content. Our warmest regards to the homeowners for having us!

Although we purchased our home as a retirement home, only one of us is actually retired. At the time we purchased our home, it was the perfect Southwest distance between our two sons and their families, one in St. Louis and one in LA. The Sunport, Albuquerque's airport is an easy airport to get in and out of, in these days of heightened security lines, ease of arrival and departure is welcome. Here we are on a boat, The Fortuna in Turkey. One of us is a sailor. Both of us drink coffee.

Varför värden valde detta boende

At the time we purchased our home, one of us (known to friends as Dr. Barista) was traveling regularly for family business in Texas. He often flew into Albuquerque and visited and stayed with friends in Sandia Heights. After a couple of years, although their generosity would have been extended, one time when his friends were out of town, he wandered on his own in the area and found a perfect home. Too perfect not to put an offer on, even though I was in Sedona that week looking for a home that would be near our family on the West Coast. By summer, we had closed. It was bought, without me even seeing it. I loved it the moment I walked in..not the house as much as the space, the views, the mountains. We both, although we have always lived on water, love the Sandia Mountains.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Fantastic views. This last year we build a new porch along the four bedrooms so now we have quite literally views from all directions. Some friends have rented for a month at a time because they are looking to retire in the area.The area is very serene,our neighbors are very private but it's not a gated community, so its very much like a modern day pueblo. Incredible vistas, wonderful hikes, deep quiet. And yet, very close to Santa Fe and city life in Albuquerque. We do host a number of golfers (we like four) and we've had wonderful comments from most of our guests (our only complaint was that our refrigerator opened from the right and they thought it should open from the left )Dr. Griffin's secretary handled our contracts for over ten year our contracts. We don't use the current guestbook because we started with an earlier company which sold to the current company. Someday we will post all the nice comments we have received on our website our favorite was from a young family that wrote 'It's our last night in Casa Griffin and we don't want to leave!' and then went on to say they forgot to put out the garbage , oh well, their charming calligraphy note did the trick because thats how we feel,(and I although I have two masters degrees in Education, spent many years as a calligrapher) much as we love our Coop life on Lake Shore Drive life in Chicago and active life at the opera, symphony, theatre &restful weekends in the Indiana Dunes, there is nothing like the high desert and the mountains. We always feel so elated that we are coming home.....and it helps now that there's a Trader Joes and Whole Foods nearby! We have loads of reference books in our little sun room library, maps etc. a do your own concierge what to do and where to go spots and of course guests also add to our stash. It's a really simple city to fly into. We like Southwest, we travel a lot, Galapagos, Turkey, Guatemala and next Bhutan! we find Albuquerque's Sunport airport is one of the easies
