The property was very spacious, well equipped and in a great location! There were hiking trails out the back door with views of the city and it was minutes away from all the area attractions. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at this property again.

Everything stated and more!

We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this one went way beyond our expectations. It was so well-equipped with all the comforts of home. The kitchen had everything imaginable in the way of cookgear, dishes, linens, etc. For grilling, there was a brand new grill on the deck along with a hot tub! There were three couples and we each had a large bedroom with king sized comfortable beds and our own private bathrooms. Great views for deer watching on the mountain, hopping on the trails with an easy access from back yard. Cleanliness A. Proximity to all areas was very convenient. Host responded immediately to any questions. A very great experience!

Spacious home with great access to trails

We had a fantastic spring break. The home offers plenty of space and lots of amenities. The pool table and TVs gave us things to do while chilling at the house and a gate in the backyard offers direct access to miles of beautiful trails for hiking or biking. We felt comfortable with our teens exploring on their own or going on family rides and hikes. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Great house with piano and access to trails

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous property. It was awesome to walk out the back gate and onto trails heading up into the foothills. We loved having a piano to play. Each of the three bedrooms is large and comfortable, with views. The common areas gave us plenty of space to spread out and work remotely. We also loved playing pool! Our family had a great time here, and we strongly recommend this property!

Great stay at base of Sandia mountains

We had a great time in a very comfortable home with my family (2 adults and 2 kids). The hiking is literally accessible from the backyard and we hiked a 6.5 mile up and back with great south and east views. The home also had nice views of the mountains from the second floor main living area as well as a pool table and outdoor basketball hoop which kept the kids entertained. The host was very responsive and helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

Cul-de-Sac

Property itself and the location (cul-de-sac) both cool. There was lots of room on both floors of the property which has nice hiking trails directly behind it. Relatively quiet minus the property adjoins in certain areas with the front property which is occupied. My fault totally on that for not reading all the reviews. We’re private quiet peeps so yea I’ll leave that there … again the property location is thumbs up and offers nice quirky cool surprises on the interior.

House was nice, very clean, with amazing technology throughout. Only problem was we didn't feel as if we were welcome. Offering of amenities then not available. Being so close to the host we feel isn't optimal. But other than that great property!

Best rental ever!

We have stayed at many VRBO properties in the past and this home is far and away the best we have experienced. The location is fantastic—nice neighborhood at the base of the mountains. The yard was wonderful for our kids—trampoline, hot tub, and basketball all in top shape. The back yard is connected directly to a hiking/biking trail system. The house is beautifully decorated. Very comfortable. Cozy fireplace. Beautiful views. Plenty of space. Heated floors! Attention to detail was more than we have ever seen. Every need was anticipated and met. Coffees and teas. Toiletries for daily use and for those things you might forget. Instructions and local attractions. We came to NM just to do some hiking. Now we are looking for time to come back just to enjoy this home. Well done!

Peaceful Location

This was a very comfortable home in a peaceful location. Perfect for a relaxing getaway with space for the kids to play outside. Very convenient access to walking trails on the mountains. The kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable and the outside living areas were cozy, especially the fire pit area in the evening. The home is beautiful and luxurious, but not to the point of making you tiptoe around. It was a very lovely stay!

Resort Quality and Amazing Views

We have stayed at many different properties across the country using VRBO and this location is by far the best we've experienced. The ease of checkin, quick response and detailed information provided by the host, the superb cleanliness, amenities provided, well stocked kitchen easy to cook in, comfort of all beds, furniture and chairs, luxury bathrooms and porches and the VIEWS!!! Our kids LOVED the trampoline and plush grass. Hiking the trails behind the house and then picking grapes from the grapevines in the yard for a snack was a favorite! We will absolutely stay again if ever we have the chance to visit Albuquerque. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home!
