Home is located in a great quiet neighborhood on a gated street. We were continually taken back by the outstanding value this home offered between its location, size, space and finishes. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
The Bosque Retreat was perfect for our family reunion! It's a spacious home with a large kitchen and living room, comfortable beds and a nice outdoor area. We loved the quiet neighborhood and the closeness to trails along the Rio Grande.
House is absolutely beautiful has everything you need. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!!

Hi Kim. Thank you for choosing Irvie Homes Vacation Rentals. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the home perfect for your needs. We look forward to welcoming you again when you're in town for work.
My family and I stayed here for a baseball tournament in the area and the house was BEYOND clean, warm and inviting, and decorated beautifully! The host was in touch throughout the weekend to ensure we had everything we needed and available if we had questions! The home was comfortable and spacious and we will definitely return at some point!
This home worked perfectly for our group of friends. Many bedrooms with beds and lots of bathrooms too. Kitchen was very nice and had everything we needed. Some people felt the beds weren't the greatest, I didn't have a problem with mine! I would totally recommend this place again!
Very nice home with enough beds for our large family. Poorly stocked with kitchen essentials like cooking oils, salts & pepper, no cast iron in the pantry.....parking is a real problem because you can't have guests over very easily, yes I know its not a party house, but with a large family, people like to gather with out of town cousins.
My extended family needed to meet up in Albuquerque for a family event, we were looking for a home with large common spaces where we could all be together but also bedrooms that didn't feel on top of each other. This home was the perfect combo. The open kitchen / dining area / family room was perfect along with the patio area where we could see balloons in the morning while we drank americanos. The bedrooms were all a good size, most with an ensuite or jack and jill. The primary bedroom felt like a retreat. We will definitely stay here again when we're back in ABQ.

Hi Michael. Thank you for choosing Irvie Homes Vacation Rentals for your recent stay in Albuquerque. We’re delighted to hear that our home provided the perfect setting for your extended family gathering. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the spacious common areas and the comfort of the bedrooms. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to ABQ.
Our group included my husband and I along with our son, daughter-in-law and their 7 children. Ages ranged from 77 to 2. Bosque on the Rio Grande was wonderful for our needs. The house is spacious and laid out well. Grandparents had a terrific main suite (bedroom that was pretty much isolated from the other bedrooms. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in with high end appliances. The location of the house was convenient and quiet. All in all, our trip to Albuquerque was a great one. Our host, Danielle, deserves a big thank you for responding quickly to every request we made. You're the best, Danielle! Can't wait to come again.
What an amazing property to bring family together. The kitchen and layout provided enough space to visit and relax over the weekend. We selected the property because of the ranch layout and accessibility for my 84 year old mom. The beds were comfortable and low enough to access, master shower with bench was easy walk in. Flat doorways from front door, garage and patio made this house amazing for us all to be together and not worry about stairs and narrow doorways. Beautiful home! Thank you!!!

Hi Diana. Thank you for choosing Irvie Homes Vacation Rentals and for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that our property provided a perfect space for your family to relax and enjoy the weekend together. It’s great to know that the layout and accessibility features, especially for your 84-year-old mom, made your stay comfortable and worry-free. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
We came with nine adults and two young children to celebrate my Dad’s 70th birthday and attend the balloon fiesta. Everything was amazing! The set up of the bedrooms let us feel like we had plenty of room. The beds were so comfy too! The kitchen and outdoor area were amazing. We really enjoyed the close access to the trail system along the Rio Grande just a block away for stretching our legs. The short 5 minute drive to old town ABQ was great too! I also can’t say enough great things about the communication and responsiveness of the host. We loved our stay and this home made my Dad’s birthday a truly special place to gather.
