About this property

Cute and fully remodeled townhouse. Two bedrooms plus an office/den with a hideaway bed that could also serve as a third bedroom. Beautifully furnished. You will enjoy the original artwork and fine art prints. 4 television sets and full cable service. High speed Internet. Garage will fit 2 medium size SUVs. Location is convenient to shopping, freeways, golf, gym walking trails and within walking distance of Starbucks and Whole Foods.

House is located near Albuquerque Academy in the very safe and much sought after Bear Canyon Neighborhood. It is very quiet neighborhood and most of the residents are retired. It is the type of neighborhood where people own the house for 20 years + or keep the house for more than one generation.

The neighborhood is extremely safe. We recently had a guest park a new SUV in the driveway for 6 months without issues.

Near golf courses, gym and great hiking and cycling. 20 minute ride to old town.

You will have to be careful to keep your eyes on the road when driving by the amazing view of Mt. Sandia as you approach the house.

House and garage are directly connected and can fit two medium size SUVs. With a 2005 Pathfinder (188 inches bumper to bumper fits) in it there is a good 3 feet to spear between the rear bumper and the garage door. Height of garage door is 80 inches. You may also park vehicles in the driveway. Contact us if you need exact dimensions of the garage.

Recently a guest was able to back in a 4 door Ford 150 with about 3 inches to spare. So it really is borderline for a full size SUV.

High speed Internet. Internet is listed as 400mbs download and 12mbs upload. Cable.

In a recent test on a Sunday afternoon on a mobile phone we got speeds of 435mbs next to the modem spreading out to 165mbs in the far corners of the house. The upload speed was rather consistent throughout the house from 11.6mbs to 12mbs.

In over a year we have only had to reboot the modem twice. So you can see it is very consistent Internet.

We charge $40 pet fee short term stays and additional fees for stays longer than 5 days. 50lb max.

Better than a five star hotel

The house is lovely, the neighborhood safe, the host remarkable. We stayed two weeks and had everything we needed for our comfort. The artwork is gorgeous. None of that rental kitchy crap on these walls. The kitchen is well stocked. If it's not there you don't need it. My fave--a set of quality, sharp knives! Better than a five star hotel--you have a garage, kitchen and laundry in a great location. I hesitate giving this review only because it will be booked the next time we want to visit. First time in years I've wanted to return to a vacation rental. This exceeds it's write up and your expectations. Oh, did I mention the Spa robes?

Book it!

Best place to stay!!! Close to airport and Balloon Fiesta Park and grocery stores. The host was very detailed and very accommodating. He asked what we liked to drink and found our favorite beverages in the refrigerator . Allowed for a late checkout due to our flight time. No need to bring mayonnaise, ketchup, etc… all condiments were available . If you are on the fence about booking this place I hope this review helps make your decision. BOOK IT!

Outstanding!

Stayed this weekend for the balloon fiesta and I can’t begin to describe what a wonderful stay we had. Lewis was the most attentive host I’ve ever had. He kept checking in on us and making sure everything was OK. The home itself is beautiful. Even better than pictured. It is so comfortable - the beds are wonderful. There were all kinds of little thoughtful things sprinkled throughout the home. I am a bigger person and it had huge towels that actually wrapped around my body - and that was a delight. The location was perfect. Nice, quiet, and safe neighborhood, but close to tons of stores/restaurants. Everything we did in Albuquerque was within a 15 minute drive. I really can’t wait to visit Albuquerque again and when I do, I would stay here in a heartbeat.

ABQ locals needed a short-term rental

We live near this property and were looking for a place to stay during a home renovation. The property was very clean and comfortable, and appointed with everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and is very close to restaurants and shopping.

Bear Canyon Sanctuary

Property is well appointed and comfortable. The neighborhood is tranquil and well kept. A 3 plus mile running/walking/biking path is right across Wyoming Rd across the street from the neighborhood. Whole foods, Starbucks, Massage Envy, and other shops are an easy walk. Our host made sure to have everything set up for us and checked on us to make sure all was to our liking. What a great host and property!

So Comfortable and Convenient

This must be the best VRBO we've stayed at. The location is very good; the house is absolutely lovely; the owners are easy to communicate with, and no detail was spared. The house is very spacious, the beds comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean, functional and stocked with tissues, shampoo, and plenty of thick towels and washcloths. The kitchen is fantastically stocked with dishes, glasses, and cookware. There are spices, oil, condiments, two types of coffee, tea, sugar and powdered creamer. If you need to pick up cream or whatever, you can take a 5 minute walk to Whole Foods to get whatever you need and there's a Starbuck's in the same plaza. I can't speak. highly enough about this property -- we loved staying there, and if we return to Albuquerque, I hope it's available!

our daughters wedding

Everything was so nice. The place was immaculate and everything was there for us to use. No running to the store for laundry soap or first aid. They thought about all those things. Neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. I would highly recommend this place. Lewis was awesome and responded quickly to any questions. Barbara

Nice!

This is a VERY NICELY decorated home in a very quiet neighborhood. Top shelf throughout! The ONLY thing I can suggest is a damp mopping of the hard surface floors since much of my lounging was in my white stocking feet. The socks were quite dirty after our first evening of lounging. Easy fix.

Balloon Fest Tourists

We enjoyed the eclectic decor of this condo. It was also super clean, well stocked and it was easy to contact the owners. For Balloon Fest week, the condo is close to the Hoffman Town shuttle stop. Nice shopping area within walking distance was another plus.

About the host

Hosted by Lewis Barlow

We are a family of three. Janelle, a business consultant, is author of the best-selling book, A Complaint is a Gift. So we welcome all of your feedback, and especially your complaints, about this property. Jeff hosts the "New Thinking Allowed" channel on YouTube. Lewis has his masters degree in Chinese linguistics. We moved to Albuquerque in 2018. Previously, we lived in Las Vegas, NV, and also in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the location. You are very close to all sorts of convenient shopping (Walmart, Smiths, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Keva Juice, UPS Store, and much more). Also, the Albuquerque Academy -- with lovely running trails -- is just a few blocks away. It is a relatively short drive drive to Old Town or to the Balloon Fiesta Park or the University of New Mexico. The Bear Canyon neighborhood is peaceful, cheerful, safe -- and is generally regarded as one of the nicest in Albuquerque.
