Charming rooms, well stocked kitchen, amazing king size bed, very clean and comfortable. Home sits at the base of the Sandía mountain range surrounded by trees. The host, Brad, was very communicative and helpful. Would definitely stay again.
Quiet, comfortable rustic setting beautifully decorated. It was, for our group, a perfect place to stay in ABQ. Cooler temp and nicer environment than the city but close enough to be convenient.
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.
We loved the place but did not realize the owners lived upstairs and using the hot tub would-be on their porch up to the right of the property. Maybe we should have looked into this more, but the pictures really did not show this was the reality.
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.
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!
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!
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!
So inviting and comfy cabin! Lots of wildlife and trees,trees,trees! Green everywhere! The folks that run this have thought of EVERYTHING! Also very helpful if you have questions about the area! I will definitely stay here again! Clean!!! Bed was awesome! And I love how they decorated!
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.
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.
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.
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 !
