Overall, a good stay with basic amenities. Stayed for a conference nearby, so location was very convenient. Good for small groups. If staying with a larger group or depending on the kitchen for large or frequent meals, the amenities might not be adequate. Main room TV often slow or crashed for streaming services.

My husband and I had a great stay. The house was very clean and well taken care of. Had all the essentials and the little extras for a welcoming stay. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Comfy living area to relax after our day hikes and eat in. The covered patio was nice to have a bite in the shade. Beds were comfortable. Carla is very responsive and easy checkin checkout. Highly recommend as a cozy and welcoming home to explore the surrounding areas.

A cozy place

We were staying in the area with our baby girl because my dad lives nearby and it was a cozy and comfortable home away from home. Communication with the host was easy and timely and the space was as advertised, including having a place for our baby to sleep. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Very comfortable and cozy. Beautifully decorated with a fully equipped kitchen including a water purifier. Easy access to Albuquerque and it's museums and entertainments including a hot air balloon ride. Also well situated for hiking to the north in the parks and national monuments. Would definitely stay again. It's a bargain.

Home away from home

Very nice place. Close to a lot of restaurants and lots of things to do. The only thing I would say to improve is a king size bed in the main suite. I really appreciated the shampoo/conditioner/ soap option in the bathroom. My husband also loved the coffee maker and snacks that were provided. It was nice to come back after balloon fest and everyone have a quiet place for a little while to unwind. Thank you for also reaching out to check on us, that was really nice of you to do.

Beautiful home, great location, helpful manager

The property was the best location I could find in the area, close to the park we were holding my mom's memorial in. Carla was very responsive to the questions I had and went out of her way to resolve a few concerns I had. Everything was set up for us when we arrived, very clean, every necessity provided for. A nice home that made us feel welcomed. When we had a minor issue getting the automatic door lock to work, Carla stepped me through it online. I'd absolutely recommend this home and Carla to anyone.

Rio Rancho, NM vacation

This home is in an excellent location for a visit, not only to Rio Rancho, but to surrounding areas as well. A short drive to Albuquerque, and you can visit Old Town, museums, the zoo, and if it's October, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, just to name a few attractions. Easy access to I-25 for a trip to Santa Fe and all it has to offer, and a variety of restaurants nearby for dining. Take off for a day in the Jemez Mountains and visit the town of Jemez Springs, the Jemez Pueblo, or drive on up to Fenton Lake for the day. The property was comfortable, with everything needed while away from home. Our host, Carla, was very accommodating, and communicated the details of our stay very well.
