The house is truly a beauty. It felt like a home away from home. It was spacious, warm and welcoming. Having a full kitchen as well as washer and dryer was a big help. The back yard was great and the visits by the local covey of quail was a special treat.

Quiet and relaxing

We (my parents, husband, and myself) were in town visiting my brother who lives a short distance away. This house was a great place to relax and enjoy a few days together. The location is great, the neighborhood is quiet, plenty of space for everyone. It was especially nice Sunday morning to look out back and see several hot air balloons in the horizon. I would definitely book this location again!

Rio Rancho Review

Our stay at Rio Rancho could not have been better. The house was exactly as advertised with an expansive vista right off the beautiful lanai. Got to see Balloons airborne Saturday morning with my coffee! The excellent interior decoration exemplified the southwestern culture and aesthetic.The kitchen was large and fully stocked. Thanks to the outdoor grill we were able to host our son and his family for a cookout at "our" house. The beds were comfortable and the shower water pressure was the best I have experienced, which is super important to me.The neighborhood is very quiet and tranquil. If you have the opportunity to visit Albuquerque, you will not be disappointed to stay at Rio Rancho!

Quiet, Clean and spectacular Views

We were in town to celebrate Thanksgiving early along with Paul’s stepdad’s 95th birthday. We could see his apartment building from the large backyard which was perfect for our dogs. We all felt welcome. The house was well equipped and we relaxed and enjoyed every thing. The quiet location was what we needed for rest and sleep. Thanks!

Morning odor

Great property and convenient to our events in town. Nice quiet cul-de-sac. However, the morning breeze coming up off the Mesa carried with it the smell from the sewer plant in the industrial park below the backyard. The carpets are badly pet stained and need to be cleaned.

Wonderful home for family!

We came to Rio Rancho to celebrate our son, who lives there, 50th birthday. It was nice to have this home for family to come and see us. On Saturday morning we had a pot luck brunch for 9 people. Plenty of beautiful dishes for eating and cooking. The covered back patio was perfect for everyone to gather. The home is decorated very nicely, on a nice quiet street. The backyard is very nice and has a beautiful view. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for letting us stay!

Wonderful experience with the house and rental experience was exceptionally pleasant. Peaceful home in a nice neighborhood with huge backyard and vistas of the Sandia Mountains and nighttime sky.

Great House

This home is in a quiet neighborhood. It was clean and organized. It was spacious and stocked with all supplies needed for a stay away from home. It is pet friendly, so keep in mind that you will probably need to bring a lint roller to get rid of the pet hair on the furniture before you use it. Overall, we would return to stay here again.

Exactly what we needed

We were relocating from WA to NM and wanted something close to the property we were buying. Not only was this place conveniently located for the move, it was ideal for everything else. There was a nearby park with paved trails to walk the dogs, a grocery store literally down the street and a quiet neighborhood to relax after a stressful day. The backyard view was an unexpected bonus. After driving 22hrs, we lost our instructions to gain entry. The host responded immediately, which defused a potentially disastrous situation between the spouse and myself. Couldn't be more grateful.

This home was well stocked with bath and kitchen essentials. It was clean, organized and comfortable for our short stay before closing on our new home. Our dog was unsure of the rocky backyard but didn’t take long to get used to it. We were thrilled and thankful to find a pet friendly VRBO.
