Casita, with views of Volcanoes, and the Sandia Mountains

Gated New Mexico Southwest Casita, with private patios, views of the lights of Albuquerque, plus volcanoes and the Sandia Mountains. Hot air balloons launch on most mornings in the high desert. Enjoy sunsets, wildlife like quail, roadrunners and the sounds of coyotes moving thought the desert on a nightly prowl. During the sunsets you will see Great Horned Owls swooping down to get their nightly snacks while thought-out the day you will see, Red-tailed Hawks, Turkey Vultures and "Cooper's" Hawks fly over daily. Plus the biggest ravens you will ever see, they perch on our two story Casa - Natures best.

Lovely Hosts & Very Comfy bed!
Loved meeting & talking with Mike & Bernie— very warm & gracious hosts who went above and during my stay! The Casita had everything I needed; a highlight was the very comfortable bed for good rest and the location out in the desert. Very clean home, nice touches of artwork, water & snacks provided, charming architecture…highly recommend!

Our new favorite place in ABQ
Delightful accommodations. I could have stayed for weeks, if not longer. Our hosts were most welcoming and communicated well before and during our stay.

I think this casita is a 5 out of 5! I highly recommend it and will definitely stay here again in the future. Briefly met the owners, they are wonderful. They checked on us when we were coming in and they were headed out. They made sure we knew if we needed anything we could just ask them.

Rio Rancho Casita
Just north of Albuquerque, the casita was well appointed, quiet, and relaxing with easy access to surrounding neighborhoods - Nob Hill, Sandia Heights, and North Valley. Mike and Bernie are very kind and thoughtful hosts, which we appreciated. The location requires a rental car as it’s outside the city but 15 minutes to most local hiking trails, parks, restaurants, and oddities, like the Spaceship UFO house.

Quiet location with easy access to center of Rio Rancho
The property was a 1 bedroom separate apartment with helpful and attentive property owners living next door. Easy to get to, with a gated driveway. Thanks for a great stay.

Perfect Casita
My friend and I went to the Balloon Festival in Albuquerque and rented this 1 bedroom casita. The casita is adjacent to the owners home, doorways are just steps apart. Owners were so accommodating to anything we needed but also gave us complete privacy. The casita is in a newer subdivision so it is actually secluded and very quiet. Security gates and the owners being on site made us feel very safe. The casita has one queen bed that is super comfortable and a very large and comfy leather sofa. Complete kitchen with anything you need. The casita is at a higher elevation than town and the views are spectacular. Would definitely recommend this to single travelers or couples. Would make the perfect set up for traveling nurse, etc.

Just Right for Us
We stayed two nights and found the Casita to be as advertised. It is a great place for a couple to stay. Everything was clean and in working order. The owners live next door as the Casita and main house are part of the same building. They were very nice and easy to work with. For those looking for a pretty place just barely off the main path in Rio Rancho yet close to much of it, this is a great place. It should be noted that the home is doing landscaping work (Oct 2023) where the current look is mostly natural desert. The views of the Albuquerque valley is exceptional, especially at night.
