Cute and comfortable accommodations, well stocked with all of the amenities you could possibly need. Perfect location in a quiet neighborhood. Close to outdoor activities and great dining. Responsive and friendly host.
This was our third time staying at this lovely home for visits of 1-3 weeks. It is always clean, comfortable and well-stocked, Tim and Kirsty are incredibly welcoming and helpful whenever we have questions or requests. We'll be here again!
We needed a house to stay while visiting friends and family in ABQ. The house was clean and in a great location. It was perfect for our family of 4. The managers were quick to respond to any questions we had.
Very comfortable home with plenty of space. We had family over for a birthday lunch and everyone loved the home and commented on how beautiful it was. The hosts were very responsive. Would definitely book again.

Thank you so much! Hope to see you back again soon!😊
Wonderful small house with comfortable beds, kitchen with updated appliances, and lovely bathrooms. We stayed for 3 weeks while visiting family in the neighborhood. House was well stocked, and hosts couldn't have been better! When I contacted them about something missing, they responded immediately and brought over what I needed right away. Highly recommend!
This house was a spotlessly clean and very comfortable launching pad for exploring the Albuquerque area. Checkin was seamless with the electronic keypad, and everything inside was great for making dinners and lounging. It's located in a cute little cul-de-sac, and just minutes from the Sandia Tramway. Very convenient to the supermarkets, restaurants, etc on Paseo del Norte and Tramway Blvd (although downtown and Old Town obviously a little further away -- car required, about 20-25 mins). Great view of Sandia Peak from the front, and plenty of amenities, games, etc provided inside. We were very happy with our stay!
