Gated New Mexico Southwest Casita, with private patios, views of the lights of Albuquerque, plus volcanoes and the Sandia Mountains. Hot air balloons launch on most mornings in the high desert. Enjoy sunsets, wildlife like quail, roadrunners and the sounds of coyotes moving thought the desert on a nightly prowl. During the sunsets you will see Great Horned Owls swooping down to get their nightly snacks while thought-out the day you will see, Red-tailed Hawks, Turkey Vultures and "Cooper's" Hawks fly over daily. Plus the biggest ravens you will ever see, they perch on our two story Casa - Natures best.

I think this casita is a 5 out of 5! I highly recommend it and will definitely stay here again in the future. Briefly met the owners, they are wonderful. They checked on us when we were coming in and they were headed out. They made sure we knew if we needed anything we could just ask them.

Rio Rancho Casita

Just north of Albuquerque, the casita was well appointed, quiet, and relaxing with easy access to surrounding neighborhoods - Nob Hill, Sandia Heights, and North Valley. Mike and Bernie are very kind and thoughtful hosts, which we appreciated. The location requires a rental car as it’s outside the city but 15 minutes to most local hiking trails, parks, restaurants, and oddities, like the Spaceship UFO house.

Quiet location with easy access to center of Rio Rancho

The property was a 1 bedroom separate apartment with helpful and attentive property owners living next door. Easy to get to, with a gated driveway. Thanks for a great stay.
