I highly recommend staying here. From our first contact Brad was amazing. He replied to all of our questions in a timely manner, and once we got there he was there to help us no matter what we needed.The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
This place was so amazingly cozy and relaxing. The owners were so helpful and accomodating and a pleasurable stay. We will definitely be staying here again.
This place has such an amazing cozy feel, we loved it. Everything for a good home base to enjoy the Sandia area. VRBO messaging was a little scratchy, not owners fault. This stay was value packed and I would recommend it. One thing to note is second bedroom is on the small side with twin beds. The master is gorgeous!
We loved our stay! The cabin was well-equipped with everything we needed, and communication with Brad was excellent. The location was perfect, making it a convenient choice. We hope to stay again soon!
Perfect cabin, deck, hot tub! Definitely want to stay there again! It was roomy and had everything we needed plus! Beautiful location!Beautiful home!Hope to never stay at a hotel in Albuquerque again!
My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay. The cabin was very clean and cozy. It was decorated nicely, and we had everything we needed for a great weekend getaway. Brad was very nice and communicated well. We would definitely stay here again.
My wife and I stayed a few days at the Pine Cone Inn while we were visiting our son who lives up the mountain about 20 minutes. It was a very pleasant and comfortable experience for us. Our host, Brad, is very thorough and communicates every detail (and more) about the property and the east mountain area to ensure a great experience. We've stayed before with Brad at his larger property closer to Cedar Crest. Both are top-notch properties with attention to every detail. Highly recommended.
Brad was the best host we’ve ever had! The spot was beautiful and well lit for our arrival and had flowers waiting for me, as this was my birthday trip! He provided excellent information about the surrounding area and places to see and try for food. We will most definitely be back!

This property is peaceful and absolutely beautiful. Brad, was available, kind, and responsive. The space is perfect for an individual, couple, or friends traveling together. It has all the necessary amenities to make for a fun hideaway vacation.
We had a great time. The kitchen had everything we needed... and more. The bed was really comfortable. Brad gave us ideas on local eats and even day trip ideas. We shared the property with them but we still had plenty of quiet and privacy. We loved it.
Such a superbly glorious home / cabin in the midst of gorgeous old pines, deer, hawks. Close to a very nice grocery store & at the same time access to gorgeous trails. Brad (host) was so friendly & helpful. We loved the place & the entire stay . 10/10 !
We did not realize this was a shared property. The owners were very nice & attentive to our needs, but I felt we needed to ask permission before enjoying all it had to offer.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Oct 2024
We are surprised with this characterization after providing much special accommodation for this guest.
1. When booking an “apartment” expect the home includes some degree of shared property. We offer a 5-star private apartment with covered furnished patio and parking. We interact with guests only upon their initiation and request for assistance.
2. Please know that when booking a property with a “no pets” policy, it’s important not to bring a pet. Upon booking this guest inquired if pets were allowed. We replied “no”, so they brought their dog anyway and only informed us on the morning after their arrival.
3. Please know, when making reservations it’s important to be accurate in the number and detail of guests. Upon initial booking we informed the guest that only registered guests were allowed to stay in the home. They booked the unit for 4 adults. Upon arrival these guests informed us of their intention to host multiple local family members throughout their stay with different adults and/or grandchildren staying each overnight.
Determined to accommodate as best we could, they agreed to leave their dog with their family members and we agreed to allow them their family sleepovers which exceeded their original registration. And we waived the additional charges which would have normally applied if they had booked the home appropriately.
So please don’t blame hosts or tarnish future guests’ perception when you violate rules and place them in such a difficult position.
What a relaxing, beautiful place to stay! The hosts were very welcoming and conversational providing lots of info on the local site and things not to miss. The facility is super comfortable and has all you need for a fabulous get away. Know that the fridge and kitchen are tiny spaces. Look before you shop! The hot tub was a welcomed destination after a long day of hiking, ballooning and site seeing. If we are ever back in that area, we will be staying again!!
My wife and I had one of our best vacations ever at the Historic 1925 Pine Cone Inn. First and foremost, our hosts were amazing! Every Vrbo host should be as warm and welcoming as they are. They greeted us when we arrived and maintained sxcellent communication throughout our stay, and they provided us with an amazing itinerary for places to go in the Albuquerque area. The Inn itself is tastefully decorated with all the amenities of home waiting for you. Cozy, comfortable and quiet. It was like coming home every night. We visited friends in the area so we will definitely stay here again when we come back. It was a joy to come back to the Inn at night to relax in the hot tub and just enjoy the peacefulness of nature. We are grateful to our hosts for allowing us to feed their horses apples while we were there. It was a special treat for us to be able to feed them and enjoy being around them for a little while each day. We highly recommed a stay at the Historic 1925 Pine Cone Inn. You will not be dissappointed!
This place was absolutely beautiful! The furnishings and decorations were amazing and inviting. It was so comfortable that our family rarely left. It truly was a much needed retreat. The property was beautiful with wonderful hiking and trails, beautiful plants and trees, and wildlife. There were hummingbird feeders on the outdoor living room that I could have watched for hours. This home was like a mountain retreat from the rest of the world. Thank you!
