About this property

Historic 1925 Pine Cone Inn

Just steps to the national forest, this fully equipped historic mountain style home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience to Albuquerque, Santa Fe and the East Mountains. Plan your vacation for hiking, biking, ski or just relaxation. The former 1925 Pine Cone Tea room was the stopping off place for refreshments for those traveling back and forth to ABQ from the top of the Sandias. Then it was an all day trip.

Located at 7,000 ft elevation beneath towering ponderosa forests of the East Mountains along the Sandia Mountains and world famous Turquoise Trail, this affordable 1,400 sf self contained apartment with private entrance is situated in historic Tejano Canyon and along the original route to the Sandia Ski Hills & Trails.

Just 15 min to Albuquerque, 25 min to airport and 50 min to Santa Fe. Enjoy scenic day trips to historic mining towns of Golden, Madrid & Cerillos. Continue to famous Santa Fe & Taos and visit historic old towns with outstanding restaurants and world renown galleries.

Use this beautiful and peaceful setting on over 2 acres as your base camp. Perfect for a romantic get-away or family vacation.

Bring your mountain bikes, horses, running or hiking gear and step right into hundreds of miles of national forest trails.

Just a half day hike to the top of the mountain depending upon your ability (10,000+ elevation). Close to public horseback riding. Just a few minutes drive to Sandia Ski Hill, Capulin snow play area, trail heads and Sandia Peak scenic overlook & restaurant (10,567 elevation).

Find peace and seclusion, away from the crowded trails. Short drive to cafes, Ribs bbq restaurant, Greenside Cafe, gallery, gift shops and more.

Full service grocery store, Triangle Grocery, within two miles for all your needs.

Two private bedrooms, sleeps up to 6 with 1 king size bed (private), 1 queen size futon (living area), twin bunk bed (private). Fully furnished and partially equipped kitchenette with stove/oven, microwave, small-size refrigerator, french press & automatic drip coffee maker, open living/dining/kitchen area. Washer & dryer. Ample parking.

Most amazing spot and host!
Brad was the best host we’ve ever had! The spot was beautiful and well lit for our arrival and had flowers waiting for me, as this was my birthday trip! He provided excellent information about the surrounding area and places to see and try for food. We will most definitely be back!

Wonderful, relaxing getaway!
We stayed 4 nights. Brad communicated clearly before and during our stay so there were no gliitches checking in and lots of suggestions for things to do in the area! The home was spotless and very comfortable! They provide TP/paper towels, soad/shampoo/laundry detergent and salt/pepper/seasonings. The kitchen is small but more than sufficient. Although tje host lives in the upper half of the home, it is designed in such a way that it is very private (and cozy!) I really can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay! One word of caution, don't let google trick you into coming in through Placitas on 165! A beautiful drive BUT a really rough/unimproved road! (Brad said that had never happened before so probably just my issue!). designed in ry private

We had a great time. The kitchen had everything we needed... and more. The bed was really comfortable. Brad gave us ideas on local eats and even day trip ideas. We shared the property with them but we still had plenty of quiet and privacy. We loved it.

Relaxing home away from home!
What a relaxing, beautiful place to stay! The hosts were very welcoming and conversational providing lots of info on the local site and things not to miss. The facility is super comfortable and has all you need for a fabulous get away. Know that the fridge and kitchen are tiny spaces. Look before you shop! The hot tub was a welcomed destination after a long day of hiking, ballooning and site seeing. If we are ever back in that area, we will be staying again!!

Great location!
My husband and I recently visited from Tulsa, OK. The Pine Cone Inn is an excellent getaway that is perfectly located close to Albuquerque, Madrid and Sante Fe. Convenient stores and restaurants are within 4 miles. Nestled in the mountain with hiking trails right outside your door. This location has everything you need including robes, games, and extra blankets. Brad provided several locations for the amenities in the area. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor patio after long days of site seeing and hiking. I would highly recommend The Pine Cone Inn for your next trip!

Pine Cone Inn
The day before check-in Brad reached out with all the information we needed and answered all our questions right away! GPS took us straight to the cabin no problem ☺️ Upon arriving the cabin was all lit up for us, beautiful, and it was cozy warm and ready for relaxing. 📆My husband and I take a week to get away from all the at home distractions so we can put together our business plan for the next 2 years! 🏡 the cabin is perfect size, the owner does live upstairs but his presence was barely noticeable, and all the windows gave a feel of first floor living. 🥰 I loved all the heavy cozy and fuzzy blankets throughout the cabin, and the water pressure in the shower is perfect! 🐴 There are friendly horses on site which just put icing on this wonderful adventure! 😀 we would absolutely recommend you stay here and if we are ever in the area again we’d be happy to return to Pine Cone Inn!

Better than we could’ve imagined!
We had a fabulous stay at Pine Cone Inn! We loved being in the mountains and away from the city but an easy /2 hour drive to Albuquerque and an hour to Santa Fe. Brad is the best host we’ve ever had (and we’ve used vacation rentals for 18 years). He is so kind and helpful even giving suggestions for groceries and nearby restaurants. Brad and Rick live upstairs on the back side of the house, not something I would usually book, but they’re very quiet and respectful of privacy. It’s so quiet and peaceful and the cabin is cute, cozy and spotless. It has high-quality bed linens and towels and everything you need for a comfortable stay. The lovely outdoor patio was our favorite spot for morning coffee and afternoon R&R. We didn’t want to leave! We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Brad, for everything! (Additional FYIs…there are horses on the property. Yes, sometimes you can smell them. The hot tub is on the owners side of the house. Neither bothered us but good things to know.)

winter time stay in NM
It was warm with the cozy fire going. What a nice thing "to come home to" when it was quite chilly out. And the last day with the covering of snow made it seem enchanted! How thoughtful of Brad to order up some snow before we headed home to SE Texas!! The main bedroom was very comfortable. The king size bed was just the thing we needed!! Brad is always responsive to any concerns we might have. Wish I could actually meet him sometime. He seems like such a delightful person.

MOUNTAINSIDE RETREAT
This well kept rental is a gem at the base of Sandia Peak. As long as you don’t mind having upstairs neighbors (separate entry living space) and are keen on a commute into the city, this is the spot for you to relax and unwind with nature steps away. The king size bed is exceedingly comfortable and the hosts spared no expense providing premium linens. Plenty of space to stretch out and the covered outdoor area made this rental seem especially spacious. We grilled steaks on the fancy grill and loved the cute indoor oven as well. This would be the perfect place for a family of four to stay for a ski vacation if the mountain has plenty of snow.

Impeccably clean and decorated location in quiet area, away from Balloon Fest mayhem. But, close enough to get into it or access any other sites / activities in the area. Brad was a stellar host. His knowledge of the area was invaluable & helped make our trip outstanding.

Overall a pleasant experience. I would certainly consider staying at the property again. Pluses include the outside, covered seating area, large bedroom with sitting area, dining area and living area. The kitchen and bathroom are small but adequate for my wife and me. Unfortunately the hot tub was not working. We enjoyed our stay and felt the pluses significantly out weighed any minuses.
