Wish I had reasons to visit NM more. Would stay here again!

Great location for getting about around Albuquerque. Even tho it was very near a major road, the house and yard were very quiet and relaxing. We two elderly ladies felt so safe with the house itself and the security patrols. We took easy walks from the house or put our feet up on the patios. We watched hot air balloons rise up over the house next door. The beds were comfy with lots of extra blankets and pillows.The owner couldn't have been nicer nor the house more welcoming. Was just the restful yet fun week we had hoped for.
