2 miles Old Town Plaza
3 miles to ABQ Bio Park
4 miles to UNM, Central Ave, Route 66

You’ll be able to access the space day or night via keyless entry lock – no more worrying about misplacing keys! You’ll have the home to yourself, and our goal is to provide everything that you might need to be autonomous, but this doesn’t mean that we won’t be available. We’ll be accessible so you won’t be on your own if questions or issues arise!

The Gathering Place is located in the Rio Grand neighborhood in the NW Valley. This neighborhood is quiet and cozy but close enough to the freeway providing very easy access anywhere in town (Best of Both Worlds - Far enough away to be in a suburban neighborhood without all the hustle and bustle of being downtown). Most of the shopping is within a quick 5-15 minute drive and there is a welcoming community vibe here. Many of the families in this neighborhood have been here for multiple decades so there is a strong sense of pride and ownership with friendly neighbors who all know each other and look out for one another. You'll likely see a few random peacocks roaming the neighborhood which always makes for a FUN photo with the kids.

ENJOY!

Wonderful, clean home in great location!

We stayed for the weekend for our grandson’s 1st birthday. 8 adults and the baby. Wonderful accommodations for family living. Great bedroom for a family, nice quality crib and even a changing table! We didn’t have to buy coffee, plenty of Keurig cups provided and a well appointed kitchen. Dining room was lovely and all 9 of us could easily sit and enjoy meals together. Comfy lines and fluffy towels. One issue with an appliance but host was extremely responsive and helpful. We will definitely come back!

Family gathering

Really enjoyed all the rooms and the private balconies. The waterfall in the backyard is also beautiful. The house is fully stocked and has a good supply. When we ran out of something it was immediately delivered. Albuquerque has been over 100 and the downstairs doesn’t have air conditioning. They brought fans by which helped. We appreciated the home and owners.

Wonderful stay!

We stay at many vrbos and this has got to to be the cleanest and best stocked home we have stayed at. From the abundance of plush towels, coffee bar, and even zip lock bags. Serious! Do you know how many we stay at and you can’t find anything to store leftover food in. Thank you for making our weekend with family easy!
