Great stay!
This property in Rio Rancho strikes a good balance between access to shopping and restaurants with a secluded feel. The neighborhood is quiet and an interesting mix of older homes and new builds. The house was very clean and has the most supplies, such as cooking and cleaning products, that I have ever seen! We got to see hot air balloons on Saturday morning!, which was awesome.

Comfortable rural home
Overall, this is a comfortable modest home in a rural area of Rio Rancho. It has all the amenities you would expect for a nice home stay. The host was easy to communicate with. It is a well-equipped, clean, spacious home, although the house has a couple of maintenance issues that need to be rectified. Also, there is a dog next door that barked for a while during the evenings, up until about 9, 10 or 11pm. Early in the mornings, be sure to go out into the backyard to look for hot air balloons!

Comfortable and Well Stocked
This was home base for a wedding. The house was clean and well stocked just as described. We enjoyed our time there with the games provided. There were two disappointing things. It sleeps 8 but the living room seats 4, so there weren't enough comfy chairs. The kitchen had everything we needed - except a working dishwasher! 8 people and no dishwasher is definitely not cool. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

Perfect vacation rental in Albuquerque
The house was perfect for our trip to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta. It’s in a quiet neighborhood that’s an easy couple minute drive to lots of retail shopping and restaurant locations. The house house was well stocked with soaps and shampoo as well as snacks too. It truly felt like you were staying with family or friends who let you use their place while they were out of town. There’s plenty of room with 4 bedrooms and two full bathrooms, and use of the two car garage was super convenient for loading and unloading the car. Donna was super quick in answering any questions too. Thanks again.

Spacious house for all of us!
We loved the room we had in this house and that our fur baby could come without an extra charge. The neighborhood was quiet which was great for bike riding and relaxing. We loved having a few extras in the pantry and fridge so we could cook at home and spend our time visiting.
