Relaxing, comfortable home for entertaining or enjoying the view

Come home and relax with a glass of wine or tea while enjoying the ultimate View of the city lights and the mountains. This home was remodeled to capture all that Albuquerque has to offer. The large, gourmet kitchen is open to the family room and office area, and is loaded with everything you need for cooking. A drink refrigerator and trash compactor accompany the kitchen. The bedrooms all have very comfortable beds with new, fresh linens. The baths come with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Whether you are here for a short stay or for work; the neighborhood has every you might need. Groceries, shopping, gym and restaurants are just a 2 minute drive. There are several parks within walking distance. There is a 2.5 mile walking trail just behind the house on the bluff. I am a Realtor.

Please DO NOT allow your pets on ANY furniture without covering it with a sheet. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN SHEETS FOR THIS. Pick the yard up before you depart. Always put your pet in its kennel before you leave. PLEASE BRING YOUR PETS KENNEL FOR THIS. And clean up any messes they've made. My cleaning people are instructed to call me, as soon as they get to a home, when they see evidence of a pet. Including an odor. We will take pictures, and there will be a $500 charge for breaking these rules. NO EXCEPTIONS

Hidden Gem

The house is in a quiet neighborhood with a panoramic view of the mountains and Albuquerque. The Rio Grande River is close by along with many walking trails. If you’re awake early, you’ll see hot air balloons floating in the distance. It was a wonderfully maintained house and we’ll definitely stay again if we’re in the Albuquerque area.

Online pictures of the home are good, but they don't do it justice. The kitchen was a fun gathering area, and the living room was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the spectacular mountain views. Evening views of the city lights were also remarkable. Located in a friendly and quiet neighborhood away from busy intersections. Walking the nearby trail is a must. Will definitely stay here again.

Fabulous view and kitchen/family area

Not only does this property have the best view ever but we were fortunate to see 15 hot air balloons launch from our vantage point in the backyard. Everything about this home is as advertised, except there are 2 bathrooms (the VRBO listing states just one). As far as we're concerned, this is the best rental property in ABQ.

We loved our stay at this lovely home in Rio Rancho. Out the front door and turn left about 100 feet to an awesome running trail. Neighbors were friendly. The host replied promptly to any questions. We were busy with graduation activities and wished we had even more time to hang out and enjoy the views. I am grateful the house pleased everyone, including me. Thank you.

Beautiful home with Amazing views!

Our stay here exceeded our expectations! The kitchen and living room area are beautifully modern, yet Jenny managed to keep the southwestern charm. She provided all the necessary essentials, plus so much more. We've stayed in other VBRO properties where that was not the case. The views of the city and mountains were truly incredible from all the areas in the back of the home. We enjoyed our coffee on the well appointed patio every morning. Jenny, we can't thank you enough for opening up this home to us, we will definitely be staying here when we visit family in the future.
