Very cozy space! Nice and private. Fenced in was great for our dog. 10 min away from all amenities. We did some beautiful mountain biking and hiking in the area.

Tiny home in Placitas

Stayed during the balloon fiesta. Very private and nicely decorated tiny home. Great place for star gazing while sitting by the fire pit or catching a glimpse of the wild horses and other wildlife. My 2 small dogs loved hanging on the porch with me. Host was very accommodating, promptly attended to all my needs and welcomed me with a bottle of wine. I would definitely stay at this tiny home again!
