Everything about this home was wonderful! Private and yet so close to everything. Host was quick to respond with any questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Sunrises and sunsets were absolutely stunning on the gorgeous porch.

Property was roomy and great space for kids. Suggest you explain what the 2 keys left with the handbook are for. And, it takes quite a while to warm up the place when it's set at 60-degrees. We use an app to change the temperature online - suggest you use a system that allows you to warm up the home prior to guest check-in time.

Don’t let the modest outside of this house fool you. It’s pretty glam on the inside. A lot of gathering places are available. The front porch is cozy with a magnificent view of the mountains and Albuquerque. The owners are so nice and cheerfully helped us. Because we were in two different vehicles and I had trouble sending the other car the code, Louise was so accommodating. I highly recommend this place.

This property was so cozy. Very nice quiet place. Clean and responsive host. I was so excited to be woken up by the sound of a hot air balloon. I’m glad I didn’t miss it going up right next door.

Home away from Home

This VRBO was amazing and met all the needs of our family as we vacationed in New Mexico. It was conveniently close to everything (grocery store, fas stations, restaurants, etc.). This property was clean and orderly. The owners kept in full communication with us every step of the way from the beginning to the end of our vacation. If your looking for a home away from home in Rio Rancho, NM this is it. Will definitely be keeping this in my places to stay in NM!

SCENIC LOCATION/LOVELY PLACE!

Our family was the first to rent this house. We had a few kinks to work out, but the owner/agent couldn't have been more responsive/helpful. She responded to our calls/texts immediately and she rectified any issues we had. A very cute home out in the country, surrounded by some very nice custom homes. Once she gets the kinks ironed out (and she is well on her way), I think this will definitely be a 5* property!

Great place for a Holiday!

Overall, I was very pleased with my stay and these accommodations. We had an amazing view of the San Dia mountain each morning, and had a view of hot air balloons on several morning take-offs. Property was easy to access, near to major shopping and stores, without needing to venture too far for anything! Hosts had decorated the place for Christmas, and this was appreciated. Plenty of room for family members, great use of space by the owner, and all needed amenities at your fingertips! Experience ABQ at its finest!

Great stay in quiet rural home

Lovely, cozy but modern home in a quiet rural area with a gorgeous sweeping view of the Sandia mountains, Albuquerque and environs. Fully equipped with everything we needed. Lovely decor and, since we were there in December, there was even a little touch of tasteful holiday decorations. My family and I felt very “at home” here. Great stay! Very responsive host!
