Perfect for us! Comfortable, spacious, lovely view we enjoyed both day and night. From the moment we walked through the gate we were greeted with grace and loveliness. From the fountains to the plethora of outdoor seating to the comfortable bedding to the incredibly well stocked kitchen, we could not have asked for more. We will book again when we are in ABQ!

We loved the house and the backyard. We came for the Balloon Fiesta and could see them launch from the backyard. The house was perfectly clean and loaded with amenities, even a outside refrigerator with tons of drinks. If we ever are in Albuquerque again, we would definitley check to see if this place is available without hesitation.

Short Albuquerque Family Visit

Our family of 5 grown ups enjoyed the majestic views and exceptionally well appointed New Mexico home on the bluff of the Rio Grande River. Hot air ballons and amazing sunrises greeted us each morning. The host was highly attentive, including leaving a sympathy note upon our arrival (we were in town for my father's funeral). Excellent place to stay in Alb.

Amazing View and Comfort Too!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The view was just as promised, the location was convenient for us and the house was easy to find. The home was quite clean, very well provisioned, and decorated outside for the holidays as an added surprise! Plenty of space and very comfortable. Not "just a rental" - it's a lovely home. We hope to stay again sometime.

She was in constant communication the entire time just to make sure we had everything we needed - which we did. House is beautiful and looks just like the pictures. Don’t hesitate, just book it!

Amazing Dream Property

This property was the best we have ever stayed at. The host was great, the house was better than a model home, the back yard was jaw dropping, voice activated lights and entertainment, and the refreshment refrigerator was over the top (a store quality glass front Coke cooler). Free beverages of course. State of the art everything. This is a dream property.

Great VRBO!

We stay in 5+ VRBO’s every year, and this one should be on your list. It’s exactly as advertised, beds/linens/furniture is in good condition, comfortable and clean! 3 full baths. Garage parking. Homeowner had decorated for Halloween which was a treat. Outdoor areas do have traffic noise from the interstate but the house is quiet and restful inside. Views are lovely.

Wonderful Property

The house is great! Very spacious and comfortable. The open concept between the kitchen, living room and outside patio is great and takes full advantage of the fantastic views of Albuquerque and the Rio Grande. The kitchen is updated and well-equipped with everything you need to cook a meal. The bedrooms and bathrooms are appointed and relaxing. The tech set-up for music and tv/movies is awesome - Sonos and Alexa worked perfectly. The owner, Maggie was very responsive and helpful. Location is easy access to river bike trails and hiking. 5-stars from my family.
