Casa La Huerta - The Orchard House - Historic Adobe Home

Welcome to Casa La Huerta! This authentic, Northern New Mexico-style adobe home hosts guests in the residential Rio Grande district of Albuquerque’s verdant North Valley. Leave the car behind and walk to local favorites like Flying Star Café – an eclectic eatery with something for everyone.

Enjoy outdoor spaces at the front and back Casa La Huerta, overseeing 1/3 of an acre with beneficial native plant species landscaping and scented by sunflowers, lavender, and our small fruit orchard. When they’re in season, feel free to step outside and pick fresh fruit from the trees!

With its single level, no stairs, and senior friendly bathroom amenities, Casa La Huerta is especially popular with our retirement age guests. Our no pets policy means that those with pet allergies breathe easy and enjoy a comfortable stay.

Interstate freeway access is quick and easy here. Enjoy a quiet neighborhood that’s nevertheless conveniently located to many attractions of greater Albuquerque.

Walking paths, orchards, lavender fields, wine vineyards, open spaces, and horseback riding await you. Don’t forget to bring your bikes or hiking shoes: This area is a cyclists and walkers’ paradise!

AUTHENTIC ACCOMMODATIONS + LOCAL CONNECTIONS

The main section of Casa La Huerta was built in 1890, and the home has undergone several renovations since then. Now it presents a great combination of authentic, vintage, and modern with wood/brick floors, talavera tile in the kitchen and bath, heated bathroom flooring, and a retro-style Wedgewood range in the kitchen. Ideal for seniors, couples, couples with young children, and friend trips.

This was our first time using VRBO and what a pleasure it was. This home was perfect in every way. The grounds surrounding this home built in 1890 are just as gorgeous as the house itself. How nice to be in New Mexico and get the NM feel throughout. We'll be back again and again.

A Quiet Oasis in North Valley
Casa la Huerta was light and airy, spacious, and homey, with charming New Mexican accents throughout. It had a well-appointed kitchen, and there was plenty of hot water for baths and showers. The bedrooms were roomy and the mattresses comfortable - a must or both of us. Clearly, great care has been taken to ensure that guests have everything they need. Perhaps most importantly, we were impressed (and relieved) by how peaceful and quiet the house and neighborhood were. Our host, Michael, greeted us upon arrival, walked us through, and shared the wonderful history of the property. The outdoor spaces were lovely, even in late February - it's easy to imagine how beautiful it will be when everything is in bloom. Overall, our experience at Casa la Huerta was delightful, and whenever we're back in town we won't hesitate to make it our home again. Thank you, Michael!

The perfect casita
Casa La Huerta is in a great location, and was a comfortable home base for our 11-day stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the gas fireplace especially appreciated as it was not warm weather. We'd love to relax outdoors in the garden and patio in warmer months!

Great Home In a Great Location
An older home modernized just enough to retain its character and be very comfortable at the same time. Set on a large lot with a private parking area and wonderful outdoor landscaping and spaces. Comfortable bed and very well equipped but not cluttered kitchen. Host meets you at property to make sure you are properly oriented, which is a nice touch. This is a "do again" VRBO for me.

Trip to the Land of Enchantment
My husband and I traveled to see family in the Albuquerque area. We found Casa La Huerta through vrbo and immediately knew it was the place we wanted to stay. It's a gem of a property; i.e., clean, great location, quiet with such nice landscaping. The patio is our favorite part. We read, played games and ate together there often. I'm sure we'll ask to stay at Casa La Huerta on our next trip to Albuquerque. I'd be remiss if I neglected to say that Michael Aragon is an excellent manager of this property. He was available and able to answer all our questions. Thanks so much, Michael.

Great Visit
We were met promptly at arrival by our host and given a tour of the property. We stayed during a very hot part of the summer and unfortunately AC in master was in/out. Thankfully the host warned us of this at arrival and gave us tips on keeping the house cool bc there were a couple nights that we had to manage without AC in the master. My family enjoyed the plants around the property and the shaded patio inspite of the excessive heat of July.

Just Right.
We were looking for something with beauty and character. Casa la Huerta fit the requirement well. Situated near the Rio Grande river in a wine and horse community , this 140+ year old property delivers exactly what one should expect, historical intrigue and eclectic design as the house was expanded and modernized. It is a great mix of both old and new. The outside landscape is beautiful and peaceful. The pictures in the description of the property are accurate. The location feels very secure, private and personal. The owner was attentive and available. I highly recommend it to those who want something special in their stay. We really enjoyed it.
