The host was great and easy to communicate with. The house was amazing, especially the two private suites. The house was located very close to a park and playground that our grandchildren loved. Overall it was a wonderful experience. Thanks so much
Jody was very welcoming! This is a very charming home, nicely furnished, and plenty of room for the five of us staying there. The kitchen had most every tool, cookware and bakeware that you would need for cooking at home. The bedrooms and bathrooms had plenty of everything we needed as well. It was nice to find this home in the heart of Albuquerque as we were visiting family members who live there.
The house was very clean and well kept. It was also very welcoming and I would highly recommend if you have a family. It was also very central to everything in Albuquerque.
This house held 3 adults and one child very comfortably! We enjoyed the outdoor seating options, the flow of the house, and excellent communication with the host. Thank you.
This house was just what we needed. We were pleased to have more than ample room for our family. It was conveniently located with a grocery store (Smith’s) in close proximity for driving. We had a lovely time in this quiet beautiful house. We enjoyed both courtyards as the sun moved over the house. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in Albuquerque.
Our family was gathering from Utah and Colorado to visit also family that live in Albuquerque. I would highly recommend this well appointed large comfortable home! It was very clean and cozy. Our granddaughter especially loved playing at the very near park with a wonderful playground!
We will definitely stay again
Gorgeous house with an open flow that offers two sectioned-off master suites, one with a full den. EVERYTHING here is top of the line, from bathroom fixtures to the beautiful kitchen. Has an incredible central patio with barbecue and a glorious backyard with a hammock. It's right by a park with a playground in a quiet neighborhood, within five/ten minutes from supermarkets, UNM, the airport, and nightlife. Highly recommended!
First and foremost, the home is much larger than expected. It has two living areas inside and two additional patios outside. The home was clean and well appointed. The centralized location allowed the family to get just about anywhere in ~15 minutes.

Highly Recommended it , You won’t be disappointed, worth every penny ! Thanks Mr Eric , we did Enjoy it , it’s lovely place !! God bless your Business home :)!
The house was very clean and had lots of space for two adults and two teens. There were lovely outdoor spaces that we didn't use because ir was cold while we were there, but i wish we could have, including a grill, private fenced yard, and nice landscaping. There is a city park literally right around the corner for anyone with younger kids. The house was extremely quiet and virtually no traffic It's convenient to many attractions and restaurants in town as well as having grocery stores right down the street. We didn't need to contact the owners during our stay, but they made sure we had their contact information in case we needed to text or call at any time.
We stayed with another family for soccer tournament. The house was very clean and much more spacious than it looked in pictures. It was really nice having three bathrooms. Nice outdoor spaces. I loved the small touches like a bag of local coffee, with half and half in the fridge and a bag of local cookies!!! We had a little trouble getting in initially due to the code not being set, but all it took was a quick call to the owner. He resolved it quickly and was so kind. Would recommend this property and would stay there again.
We stayed here for the long weekend of our oldest child's graduation. The property was beautiful, well-kept, and impeccably clean. The house was very spacious, allowing each of us to have our own room and bathroom, as well as a place to retreat. We mostly ate out, but on the few occasions we cooked, the kitchen had everything we needed. We were also treated to coffee and cookies in the kitchen when we arrived. The outdoor spaces were also incredible. We enjoyed eating outside under the umbrella in the Southwest's delightful climate, and snoozing in the hammock. Instructions were clear and not complicated. Communication with hosts was fantastic. This really was an ideal experience for us. Next family trip to Albuquerque, we will definitely look up this property again.
We were 5 high school friends who got together for a get away that included the Albuquerque balloon fest. The house is in a neighborhood but close to shopping and the airport. It was about a 15-20 min drive to the festival.... without traffic.
Jody kindly let us check in a few hours earlier so we could drop off our bags and figure out what food we wanted to buy. She nicely provided great ground coffee and cream in the refrigerator along with cookies.
The house was perfect for us, clean and spacious. We took advantage of the pull out couch in one room and the futon in the living room so we all had our own beds ( and essentially rooms ) to sleep in. There are 2 nice areas to sit outside which I wish we took more advantage of. But our days were busy so we just enjoyed the lovely living room to hang out in and catch up.
They also had 4 folding chairs in the living room we took advantage of, bringing them with us to the festival to sit on. We added one so now there are 5!
In all great house and great location. Thank you!
Great house with all the amenities to support 8 adults for a few days. Walking distance to the UNM campus, and close to downtown and other parts of Albuquerque.
Gorgeous, huge property with everything you need to live, eat, sleep, and relax. Thoughtful extras and a safe, pretty neighborhood close to plenty of restaurants and grocery stores. Outdoor space was pretty and welcoming. Thank you!
Absolutely love the yard space! Each yard is very beautifully set up. Lots of games in the den. Granddaughter felt right at home in the children’s bedroom. Very comfortable!
