Stayed overnight to break up a road trip amd let me tell you, absolutely phenomenal! Beautiful house and super easy to access. Host was extremely responsive! Highly recommend!
A great house. It would be a great house for a family retreat as it has lots of bedrooms and stuff to do outside and a great area. We were just driving through but still was wonderful.
The property was absolutely beautiful, inside and out. We definitely enjoyed the jetted tub in the master suite! I really couldnt have asked for more from the property and I would certainly recommend anyone looking to stay there to take the leap and go for it! Thank you!
Met up with friends and daughters for a weekend of laughter and balloons. I recommend this house, plenty of space, lots of amenities, convenient location.
Very nice home. We all enjoyed everything about the home; place; cleanliness; space; outdoor space. Looking forward to booking this place in the future.
Loved! The house was stunning and perfectly situated for our activities. We had an amazing time with our family, feeling welcomed, cozy and very comfortable. It was well-equipped with plenty of games, bikes, and outdoor activities. I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely return in the future.
The entire family was impressed with the house. Everything about the property was even better than the listing. The house was beautiful, very clean and had everything we would need. The dining table was perfect for our family of 12 to play games, share stories and eat on. The beds were comfortable and the living area was relaxing. We were all thrilled with it and would love to stay here again!
We gathered this Fourth of July weekend to celebrate a birthday and memorial. We hosted family from out of town in this stunning home. It was perfect for a large family and friends who just wanted to share memories, have good conversation and great food. The teenagers enjoyed the backyard and we could see fireworks from the back patio! Thank you for hosting our family for this special occasion.
This was our second time to stay at this house. Albuquerque is the halfway point between our winter and summer homes, so we stay here as our stopover point for the night. It works perfectly for us.
Linda’s home was perfect for our last minute visit to Albuquerque. She was extremely helpful, accessible, and accommodating to our family. We felt very comfortable in the home with plenty of space for 11 of us.
The property was great, beautiful home, large backyard for the boys. convenient location and great style. The rooms were nice and big. Linda had great suggestions for things to do during our stay. I would recommend.
Great place!! Definitely an important part of our club winning first place in the tournament. We will be back next year!!

About the host
Hosted by Linda Urioste
Hi Im Linda, I live in Atlanta Georgia but originally from South Florida. My husband "Bobby" was born in a very small rural town, Anton Chico New Mexico. His large family of eight siblings and his parents relocated to Albuquerque in 1957. Bobby was raised in close proximity to this home he built himself, and with the help from is nephews in 2008. Bobby attended primary school at Alameda Elementary just a mile down the street from this AirBNB. After leaving high school Bobby enjoyed much success as a professional jockey, starting his career at the Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse Tracks in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and at Ruidoso Downs, in Sacramento Mountains of southern New Mexico. By Bobby's mid-twenties, we were married and raising a family in South Florida. Bobby reestablished his skills in the drywall trade, from a family-owned business in Albuquerque as a teenager. He established a successful drywall business in south Florida. We built several homes in South Florida. This home, “The Balloon Fiesta Home” was the last, built by Bobby. The home became an Airbnb in 2019. The wide spacious hallway in this home tells the history of the home, Bobby's extremely successful endeavors, and boasts photos of other homes we built in South Florida, including a Magnificent equestrian facility Barn/home in Wellington Florida, home to many Olympian Hunter/Jumper riders and horses. I enjoy hosting and reading stories of guests. If you are in the Albuquerque area, please consider staying.
