Location: Bernalillo, NM USA ( 10 minutes form Albuquerque, 40 minutes from Santa Fe. View Map

Accommodations: studio casita, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2 adults. Room for a crib or playpen)

Vineyard Way Casita is a restored adobe with approximately 400 sq ft of indoor living space. It is located in the Historic Downtown area of Bernalillo. It is reported to have been built in the 1880's by the infamous builder Abenicio Salazar and was the first doctor's office in town. We're walking distance to restaurants, unique shops/art galleries/ grocery stores, the Rail Runner & shuttles to two casinos. Casita is a day's drive to many scenic byways including Santa Fe, Taos, Corrales, Jemez, the Sandia Mountains including the world famous tramway; fishing, golf, hiking, biking, the Albuquerque Zoo & Botanical Park, vineyards, breweries, the world renowned balloon park & so much more! Cozy & convenient is how former guests have described the casita.

The casita is very cozy, quaint, functional and quiet. Due to the thick adobe walls, it stays cool in the summer & warm in the winter.

Our comfortable and convenient casita has all new appliances, a heater/refrigerated air combo, hard wood floors, tiled floors in both kitchen and bathroom. It has on demand hot water, a 4 burner electric stove/oven and full refrigerator.

The casita is located just off Main Street, also known as Route 66, Highway 85 and State Road 313. It is quiet, safe and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, parks, the recreation center & the Rail Runner. The Rail Runner will take you to Santa Fe, Albuquerque, the International Airport, Los Lunas & Belen; not to mention the numerous Indian Casinos along the way! Vineyard Way Casita's prime location offers day trips to the Sandia Mountains, seven Indian Pueblos, historic sites and Scenic ByWays, which can take you to Jemez Pueblo & Jemez Springs or Taos and back within a day!

The world famous Range Cafe, is across the street as is Silva's Saloon that has been in continuous operation since the 1930's. Several movies have been shot in its location adding to its allure, history and colorful past! Camino Real Antiques, located just down Main Street, offers 6000 sq ft of treasures, including Native American artifacts and Western memorabilia.

This is the PERFECT place to stay to enjoy Las Fiestas de San Lorenzo in August, the New Mexico Wine Festival over Labor Day weekend and to experinece the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta held in October! The seasonal beauty of New Mexico as well as the stunning backdrop of the Sandia Mountains await you in this cozy adobe casita, offering you an authentic taste of the Land of Enchantment.

Cute studio casita close to Albuquerque!

We had a great time in the Albuquerque area for the Balloon Fiesta and Annular Solar Eclipse! This cute casita was perfect for my husband and I! Fawn sent great instructions for checking in and was very responsive to our request to check out a little later, which allowed us some time to rest after an early morning going to the Balloon Fiesta! There were some nice snacks waiting for us in the casita, which were very much appreciated during our car rides around the area. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends and I would stay again.

All the Ambience of a quintessential casita was on the Exterior!

This casita was a good size for 2 people, however it lacked in the kind of esthetics you want went traveling i.e. the rich flavor of the culture. Instead we got a vibe of a hodgepodge of furniture (no comfortable chair for reading ) Bedding, linens and accessories were not at all quality goods. Disappointing for such a potentially lovely casita.

Just right for my needs

Grocery was a handy walk. Good restaurant was a handy walk. Place was well enough and simply appointed. Could use some soft seating - but it just wasn’t a big deal. One hiccup with the front door getting jammed, but a quick text and it was handled. With a sense of humor by all.

Beautiful casita with a few snags.

Adored staying here and Fawn was amazing. A few snags but nothing that would deter me from staying again. 1. I could not log on to the WiFi and literally had to go buy a hot spot. 2. There needs to be a seal around the screen door as there are a variety of insects that live to keep you company and 3. The bed frame was reversed so when you moved the bed frame moved and/or “popped up”. If you wanted to watch tv there was no alternative but to use the bed. Again, nothing that would stop me from staying again. Done judge by this, they’re merely minor suggestions.

This place is wonderful. Clean and convenient to any place you wish to go. Walk to The Range Cafe for meals and enjoy a glass of wine when the day is done. Fawn had a basket of goodies and a bottle of wine waiting for us, after a 8 hour car ride it was welcomed. We always felt safe and the Casita had everything we needed and more. We will be returning. Thank you for making this a relaxing and enjoyable time. Jay and Jeanne

The property is really bad: we left a day earlier than booked: Specifically: window next to bed broken and taped up, bed so hard it caused discomfort, same for pillows, furniture really old and falling apart, air conditioning controller does not work, shower needs a flex head, floor mats are disgusting, bed cover disgusting, window coverings old and filthy, outside is disgusting and dirty. This is as bad as it gets!!!
