About this property

Albuquerque East Mountains

This beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom property has gorgeous views of Sandia Mountain and is conveniently located near plenty of hiking trails, Sandia Peak Ski Area, and Cibola National Forest. It's only a 20 minute drive from Albuquerque and a 55 minute drive from Santa Fe, and just 25 minutes away from the small artist town of Madrid with plenty of shops, eateries, and a pub. This property features a king bed in the primary bedroom, a queen bed in bedroom 2, two twin beds in the 3rd bedroom, and amenities like wifi and electric heating. Whether you're looking to explore the great outdoors or experience the local culture, this is the perfect spot for your stay!
The guests have access to the entire property.

The Sandia Knolls in Sandia Mountain has a true feeling of community where neighbors look after and support each other. There's a feeling of rural living with the benefit of 25 minutes from downtown ABQ.

Very close to Turquoise Trail. Well stocked Triangle Grocery is 10 minutes from the house. Easy drives to Sandia Peak Tramway and Ski Area, Salinas Pueblo Missions Ruins, Nuclear Museum, National Indian Pueblo Center and International Balloon Fiesta Museum, to name a few.

What a nice place. Easy drive to the balloon festival park and ride at Hoffmantown Church, while giving us a great mountain setting. Our host, Oscar, and his property managers, John and Dee, were great…very friendly, helpful and responsive. The house sits on a ravine with great sunset views from both the back patio and raised front patio. Lots of outdoor space, bedrooms were very comfortable, living space was large and well appointed. Kitchen was large and well equipped, with great startup stocks. Overall, would definitely come back for our next visit to Albuquerque. We didn’t ski (October), but easy drive up the mountain if that’s your plan. Two thumbs way up!

Beautiful Home

The house was beautifully decorated and maintained. John and Dotie (the caretakers) even had fresh muffins waiting for us when we arrived! The one question we had was answered promptly and completely. We would love to stay here whenever we are in Albuquerque to visit our granddaughter.

Best Hideaway in the Mountains

My mom has a house nearby but we needed more room for the adult kids and stayed at this listing nearby and it was beyond wonderful. So clean, and has everything helpfully labeled for easily finding things in the kitchen, we were able to make full family meals. The views are unbeatable and the air hockey table and games in the closet made for some fun nights with the family. Would love to stay again!

August visit

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is hands down the best equipped home we've visited. Evenings and mornings on the back porch made the start and end of our days here special. Yes, we'd book again.

Tranquility with a view

House was situated overlooking the east mountains, and it could not have been better appointed, comfortable or fabulous! The only sounds we heard were the occasional rooster or horse far off in the distance. No highway noise, no sirens, very few airplanes. It is incredibly peaceful. There is a lot of room inside and out and if the weather was warmer we would have spent all night outside stargazing! Would recommend it to anyone needing to get away from it all!

Great Stay!

We really enjoyed the house. The view of the mountains were beautiful, we enjoyed playing air hockey, and the house was well stocked. The people who look over the house were just across the street so it made us feel better they were so close in case we needed anything. If we’re ever back in the area we will for sure stay here again! It was a warm and cozy place to stay!

Albuquerque

Home was perfect for our needs, both size and location. Was exactly as depicted online, had all amenities we needed along with a plate of wonderful baked goodies for breakfast the first morning. And you just cannot get enough of the mountain views. Owners are very responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend this property!

Why they chose this property

I loved the ability to enjoy rural life with the benefit of being 25 minutes from downtown Albuquerque, not to mention that the views are just breathtaking and the sense of community among the neighbors is just outstanding.
