Perfect is the right word here

The title of this property states it very well. Perfect indeed. This has been the best place to stay since using VRBO. The house was clean. The bed was comfortable. There was a nice calmness within the house. We were there for a convention and it was just great returning to this property to peace and quiet that allowed us to get the rest we needed to start over the next day. The weather was great which allowed us to use the back patio to eat with a nice view. We will definitely be back the next year and looking forward to staying here again.

Very clean! Nice location.

This is a great house! Very clean, it has everything you need. Nice neighborhood. Easy check in. It does have memory foam mattresses. I’m not a huge fan of those but many are. The only real issue we had was the hot water pipes froze on our last night, preventing us all from getting hot showers in the morning but NM was experiencing record lows and the host said many homes in the neighborhood were affected. This is not the host’s fault and they did try to make it right in many ways. If I was coming back to the area in warmer temperatures, I would definitely stay here again.Thanks for everything!

Charming and spectacular view

First time visiting NM and staying here in Rio Rancho was an excellent choice. The highways to other popular towns was close by. We also found the convenience of the supermarkets down the street an excellent feature. The house itself was warm, clean, inviting, and cozy. We were all very happy staying here.

Nice place

The property was very beautiful with a great location. The listing said it was handicap accessible but it is not. There is a step on the front that my dad had a hard time with his walker and there are no kind of hand railing by the toilets. It was nice that you could seen the balloon fiesta from backyard. There were some cockroaches. The house was very clean so I guess maybe they come in from the outside since they were by the back door. We also had a smoke detector that went off in the hallway at about midnight waking the whole house up. Was very difficult to get it shut off since the battery was low. Maybe something that should be maintenance more regularly. There was a game room in the garage but we were not able to enjoy any of it do to the chemical fumes out there.

Comfortable visit

This was a convenient location and good space for us to relax while we were in town. Arrival was quick and easy, and while we didn't use the outdoor patio area it looks nice and a wonderful view. The walk-in jetted tub may be quite appealing to those with limited mobility, though we didn't specifically test it out ourselves. Found all of the stuff we needed during our short stay.

Baseball Tournament stay

This house was perfect for our family to stay in while we were attending a baseball tournament. Shari was more than accommodating for our crazy schedule. I think our favorite spot of the house was the back yard (me and my husband) for the kids, it was most definitely the garage area.

Amazing View of the Mountain !

This property had everything you would need for a great stay. The host thought of everything. We were greeted by flowers and a basket full of snacks. The garage was converted to game area and backyard fire pit were a hit. The location is perfect near grocery stores, restaurants and the interstate. We would highly recommend this home.

Awesome property in Rio Rancho

The house was perfectly clean and looks better than the pictures. The owners were very friendly and informative, they even provided a snack basket with goodies for us and my kids. The home had everything we needed and plenty of room for everyone. The garage was great for playing ping pong, foosball, darts, and cards. The backyard has plenty of seating with beautiful views of the mountain and a gas grill with a full tank of propane and a charcoal grill with charcoal provided. It was perfect for our stay in Rio Rancho and we hope to come back next year.

The home was very clean and comfortable. It had all the amenities required for our stay. It is located in a quiet suburb with a little driving required for shopping/dinning. Our hostess (Miss. Shari) was wonderful. She is extremely conscientious and pleasant to communicate with. She made every effort to ensure our stay was enjoyable and challenge free. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay with you.

Excellent Experience

My family had an excellent experience at Rio Rancho! The host, Shari, was very communicative and helpful. The house was very clean and comfortable with several personal touches that made us feel as though we were coming home each day. The location was great - it was far enough out of the city to offer privacy and feel very safe, but close enough to make for an easy commute, and there were plenty of stores and things to entertain us nearby. The view of the Sandia Mountains from the house and backyard was spectacular, and we really enjoyed the firepit and barbecue. We would absolutely recommend this place and stay there again ourselves if we travel to Albuquerque again! 😁👍

About the host

Hosted by Shari Cochrane

Host profile image
Hi!!! Welcome to my very first vacation rental. I am so enthused about this opportunity & to serve in this capacity. My heart’s desire is for you to feel at home, in a space that is safe, comfortable, and clean. Moreover, to provide you with the environment that will allow you to relax and not worry about the cares of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. {Smile.}

A little about me. I am a Veteran of the Armed Forces. We are a retired family but believe in working until you simply can’t anymore. I have a wonderful husband of 20 years, & 3 wonderful boys. I love making my boys breakfast every morning and taking them everywhere they need to go. My happy place is the Bosque Trail, taking nature walks and appreciating the mountain views, running coyotes, & being greeted by friendly walkers along the way.

I love to shop at HomeGoods, write poetry, listen to music & harvest honey from our backyard honeybees. Yes, we are a beekeeping family. It’s my husband’s favorite hobby!

We have come to love this area more & more.
This community is rooted in family! It’s been a healthy & safe haven for our children. Our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

We chose to have our vacation rental in Rio Rancho because we know the area so well having lived here for nearly 15 years. The community is settled, and our neighbors are friendly, warm & have lived here a long time.

We love that this home is so close to the river & trail. Its peaceful, nestled in a quiet neighborhood, but not too far away from places that meet the needs of a family.
And when it’s Balloon Fiesta time, we see plenty of balloons fly & land nearby! It’s the best kept secret!

What makes this property unique

When you stay at our rental, you will always remember that warm feeling of love and care. That's why we have placed a beautiful red heart at the entrance of our property!
Then, greet you with warm aroma's & sweet sentiments to make you feel welcomed and wanted.

Best of all, I’m not too far away so if you need me, please don’t hesitate to reach me. It’s my pleasure as your hostess.

Thank You for stopping by and considering your stay with us!
