Lovely host and family. Beautiful setting, in country atmosphere, but close to all activities on your itinerary.

My family and I truly enjoyed this stay. It is an absolutely beautiful, private space. Pete and his family went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I highly recommend it!

Peter is a wonderful host - very comunicative and made me feel at home right away. The casita is brand new with a modern kitchen and everything you need to cook well. There are two well furnished bedrooms and two large bathrooms. The location is extremely peaceful and quiet and surrounded by nature. I highly recommend Peter's Casita and I personally would return the next time I'm in the area.

This was a great space for our weekend getaway to Albuquerque. Perfectly nestled away from the city yet close enough to get into town in 15 minutes and begin exploring. Surrounded by some beautiful trees and plenty of light to shine into the space to get your day going. The deck is another feature that is a pleasant space to relax and enjoy while here. Peter and family where very helpful and made it a carefree weekend for our small group.

The casita is a very relaxing, peaceful place to stay. The living area is spacious and comfortable. The deck is great for relaxing, and the fenced area with a trampoline was great fun for my kids and our dog. Although it feels nice and secluded, it is actually a great location between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. It was also easy to get to Tent Rocks for an absolutely amazing hike.

Peter's place is fantastic! We loved staying here! We couldn't have asked for anything more. It was perfect for our family. His home is a beautiful, peaceful, quite retreat. And we feel so fortunate to have found it. Peter and his family were an absolute delight! You couldn't wish for more kinder people to be your host! Thank you again Peter! We highly recommend this listing! Book Peter's place and it will change your life!

Peter is a kind and generous host. His home is in a beautiful, quiet location with spectacular views of the night sky. The east-facing bank of windows in the master bedroom allows you to wake up with a view of the sunrise over the Sandias, and the bank of windows in the kitchen lets you contemplate the cottonwoods and surrounding countryside as you cook. We made use of the well-equipped kitchen to prepare a Thanksgiving meal and were surprised to see that Peter had more kitchen tools than we had at our own home. He helped us to make a fire and made sure we were comfortable. The enormous, fenced dog run provided our pets with their own vacation experience, and we took lots of walks in the area. This a very peaceful place to stay.

Wonderful place! Calm and beautiful inside and out, set in the cotton wood trees in a sparsely populated area next to pueblo land, but still close enough to Albuquerque. Peter was an accessible host and very nice fellow to relate to. Highly recommend!

I loved my stay at Cynthia's accommodations / Airb&b! It was totally charming, cozy and comfortable! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it if you are in the area! Conveniently located between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and several great restaurants near by! Cynthia and Spence are very attentive and great hosts!

This was such a lovely stay! The hosts brought us marshmallows to cook over the fire and were absolutely delightful. We had such a wonderful time and would stay here again if we were in the area!

Booking: My wife and I needed to stay a night on our way to California, we booked Ann's and Michael's at a very great value only 1 day in advance. Approval was instant. Getting to the place: Since we were not familiar with the area, it took us a little while to find the property at night. Checking-in: As we arrived, Michael welcomed us around 8pm, he was very nice and accommodative, he offered his help and let us settle on our own time, unfortunately we didn't get to spend more time with out hosts as we went to sleep upon arrival. The space: We were surprised at how wonderful the space was. It was very clean, organized, and homey. All linens and towels were clean and comfortable, supplies were not cheap supplies, Michael and Ann seem to provide products they prefer to use themselves, and this speakers to their generosity. Snacks, tea and coffee were available as well as all necessary cooking ware in case you plan to cook something. The space had a character that blended very well with its natural surroundings. The views as you step right out of the building are breath taking. I would certainly consider staying here again, it was one of my favorite Airbnb stays. Thank you Michael and Ann for hosting us :)

What an AMAZING place to stay at! The hospitality, the view, the generous price and the hosts were so kind and accommodating. I was very very pleased!! A+++

Beautiful place to stay! Very easy reservation process. Loved the view, and the Casita was gorgeous. The wood pellet heater kept us very warm! Extremely good value and great experience.

It was very cozy, clean and accommodating. The whole surrounding area is very scenic and makes for great relaxation. I only got to meet Michael, but he was very helpful and genuinely seemed to care. Given the opportunity, I would love to come back.

This little place is so cute and comfortable; coupled with the scenic surroundings it really felt like vacation! The house has everything you could need, the bed is super comfortable, and it feels very spacious inside. It doesn't have a full kitchen (as you can see in the photos), but the kitchenette worked well for cooking simple dishes and it's well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. Michael and Ann were both really kind people and great hosts, checking in with me regularly to make sure I had everything I needed but completely giving me my privacy. Ann even took some time to chat with me in the midst of getting ready for a family trip (while making sure I was able to do a load of laundry before they left!). They were also very generous in sharing the outdoor areas, which was wonderful considering you can watch the sun set over Albuquerque from an overlook right in front of the house. I'd highly recommend staying in this peaceful, beautiful place hosted by these lovely folks!

Living up the name Charming Casita! My friend and I stayed here for a night and loved it - very well decorated, clean, neat, and comfy. Ann and Michael were very sweet and helpful. Definitely recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Ann and Michael's casita. They are kind and thoughtful hosts. Very friendly and welcoming. The property is beautiful. There are views of both the mountain and the valley. The casita was very comfortable for our family of four. It's well-stocked and super clean. The location worked very well for us with easy access to Albuquerque and local hiking trails. We'd certainly love to stay with them again in the future.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Casita. The location is so relaxing, with stunning views (pictures don't do it justice), yet it is close to both Albuquerque and Santa Fe. We never ran out of things to do, in fact we wished we could stay longer! The casita is furnished beautifully in true New Mexican fashion. The beds and couch are super comfy! Best of all Jake and his wife were extremely kind hosts, with instant communication whenever we had a question. They have great recommendations for day trips, restaurants, etc. I highly recommend staying here- you will be glad you did!

What a view! Jakes place was deep in the curvy mountains and perfect for our weekend getaway. We would def go back! Such a cute little guest house with an awesome loft for extra space, especially for kids!

The house was very clean and had everything we would ever need. Made our visit to the Balloon Fiesta all the more enjoyable. Traveling to the surrounding area was a breeze from this location as well - about 25 minutes to downtown Albuquerque. Communicating and arranging our stay was very easy. We would easily stay here again in the future.

Great out of the way peaceful location in between Santa Fe and Albuquerque with outstanding views in all directions. Jake and Robyn provide all you need so it feels just like home. Lots of wildlife to observe and enjoy - loved it.

I highly recommend this place for many reasons...Beautiful location, perfect distance from either alb., or Santa fe, quiet, wonderful hosts, safe, great space for adults and kids. Everything you need is there.

We loved the house and its location.Jake and Robin went out of there way to make us feel welcome.

Nice, Quiet, private. Jake and his wife are very nice host, highly recommended.

Staying here was like staying at a good friends home. Better than the pictures. The place was homey and relaxing. The five of us were very comfortable, even on a day when snow had us shut inside. The scenery is amazing with a great view out the back picture window. Jake is amazing. He treated us like family and you can tell he truly enjoys extending genuine hospitality. If I'm ever back in the Placitas area this will without a doubt be my first choice of places to stay.

Daniel and Christiane offer a home and hospitality that is second to none. I was blessed to eat a delicious breakfast prepared by Christiane and enjoy conversation with Daniel. I would say that if Airbnb had a model home and hosts, they would be it.

The hosts were very friendly and informative and we could not have asked for better accommodations. This is absolutely the best Airbnb that I have ever stayed in. They were more than willing to provide anything they could think of to make our stay more comfortable. Christiana makes beautiful pottery which is for sale on the premise. Breakfast was amazing, homemade yogurt and fresh fruit and lots of other goodies. Thank you so much for an amazing experience.

Wow, what a nice place to stay. Their house is beautiful, the breakfast was great and they were very helpful with suggestions of places to see. We really enjoyed staying here. The rooms were comfortable, we enjoyed the hosts company at breakfast every morning. They also have the best coffee I've ever had :)

This is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. The hosts were excellent. Both Christiane and Daniel were interesting and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. They made great recommendations of things to do, places to see, and where to dine. It was ideal for us as we wanted to drive into both Santa Fe (40 miles north) and Albuquerque (20 miles south). The neighborhood is conducive for an early morning walk or run on an asphalt path that runs adjacent to the street, and the views are delightful. The rooms were spotless and inviting, and breakfast (our favorites - waffles, quiche, madeleines, toast, and five minute eggs) was not only delicious but prepared to fit into our schedule. We hope, one day, to find our way back to Christiane and Daniel's place and will be recommending this Airbnb to both friends and family.

We had a wonderful experience staying at CasAcoma. Christiane was out of town but Daniel immediately made us feel right at home. Their home, patio and guest rooms have incredible views, are beautiful and very comfortable. Daniel's breakfast was absolutely delicious. The setting and his care for detail made each morning memorable. Daniel was very helpful and knowledgeable. The location is exceptional for the rural feel yet close to I25 for easy access to Santa Fe and Albuquerque. The unique neighborhood has nice walking paths and hiking suitable for all levels is a mile up the road. We hope there is availability the next time we visit the area!

Our stay was fantastic we were greated with warm hospitality, fantastic local suggestions for dinner, and left knowing we would come back for another airbnb stay.

It is not a wonder that Christiane and Daniel have a solid 5 star review of their listing/home. I hardly know where to start but will say that the first thing you are taken with is that you are being greeted by genuinely warm and friendly people. Their home is elegantly designed and spacious. You are invited to use the living areas and outdoor patio and feel truly at home. The house is very clean and well taken care of. We arrived in the evening and asked about and were recommended to a local restaurant and invited to conversation upon our return, should we be free. When we came back from the restaurant we ended up sitting out on the patio and talking with them for a couple of hours. Very enjoyable! As an aside, the stars up there are amazing. You can see so many of them! The raves about the breakfast they serve are not exaggerated. First of all they give you your choice as to when you would like to eat. We literally had freshly baked, home made, Madeleines (french biscuits), home made organic yogurt with organic fruit, high end seeded toast, freshly squeezed Orange Juice and were offered many jams including a friend's organic apricot, which was delicious. We were given choices and went with omelets for which we were given choices of ingredients. They were expertly cooked and delicious, all fresh ingredients. Freshly ground coffee and a choice of teas were also in the offering. I know this is a bit of a rave but you would be very hard put to find better hosts. They are just seriously good people. Bob and Tati

We have stayed with Christiane and Daniel three times now. As far as we are concerned, there is no better place to stay in the Albuquerque area. The price is more than reasonable for the wonderful accommodations. Both Christiane and Daniel are knowledgeable about the area and are happy to share suggestions. If you feel like visiting, they are easy to talk to and laugh with. If you want quiet time, that is okay too. Their home as well as the view is absolutely gorgeous. Everything is clean and fresh. Having a private bath is a big plus. They are both incredible cooks. Breakfast has always been delicious. Ask for cake. We look forward to our next visit.

Great size, amazing views!!

The neighborhood was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. We stayed on the night of the supermoon, so the stars and moon were incredible. The house has warm southwestern charm.

Will offers an exceptional home -- comfortable, beautiful, with epic views. He is a gracious host, communication was excellent, all was easy. I will be happy to stay here repeatedly as business/training/vacation bring me to beautiful Placitas.

The house was fabulous. It was clean, comfortable and charming. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with fantastic views; it is a great street for daily walks. The house is easy access to either Albuquerque or Santa Fe and is minutes away from award winning restaurants. The house was well appointed, with a fully stocked kitchen; all the towels and linens were freshly laundered and the beds were comfortable. It was nicely decorated with southwestern art and artifacts. The yard is natural desert scape, but well maintained. We stayed here for a family "girls' weekend" with three generations of family members. The house offers a good separation between living and sleeping areas. My one year old niece stayed at the house and my two year old twins were daily visitors, so I can attest that not only is this rental "family friendly", it is also clean enough to eat off the floors!! The floors are brick, but very level, so this wasn't an issue for my newly mobile niece. The host was great, responding to every question in a timely fashion. Communication with our host was friendly, easy and open. Check in and out were a breeze and knowing there was a neighbor nearby to help with any immediate needs, put our minds at ease. There were little notes throughout which we found very helpful. There were maps and magazines directing us to the local galleries, restaurants and tourists destinations. Overall, this was a wonderful experience for my family. The house is beautiful and the host committed to making your stay great. I would highly recommend this property and would rent again from this host in a heartbeat!

The house was actually larger than the photos represented. My family and I found it to be a really relaxing atmosphere which was especially appreciated since we were bustling about for my niece's graduation from UNM. What a treasure to come back to such a tranquil environment! Thank you Will, for opening your home this way. We thoroughly enjoyed all the creature comforts but mostly enjoyed the back portal with the peaceful, sweeping views, and the soothingly beautiful wind chime.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Will's house. We immediately felt at home, and enjoyed the large kitchen, wonderful view and convenient location tucked away in the hills yet close to the free way to head up to most of our destinations up north. Will was a great communicator through email and made us feel very welcomed. The house has a great lay-out with the open kitchen/dining/living on one level and the bed/baths on a lower level. We'll be back!

Sure great place to stay, we had a wonderful time. It is out in the country, very quite with beautiful sunsets. Will the host was a very good communicator, the place was very clean when we got there and the beds could not have been more comfortable. Plenty of room as well as peace and quite.

Norah’s place was indeed a sanctuary, and you can immediately feel the affection that went into creating it. My husband and I are on a cross-country roadtrip, and we spent a very pleasant, albeit rainy, week at Nora’s ...tucked away ...basking on the beautiful patio during respites of sun, and rejuvenating for our next adventure. The bed is cozy, the views beautiful, the patio welcoming and cheerful. We saw humming birds, bunnies, and gorgeous sunsets every day. Norah made sure we had everything we needed, and although we never met, I feel like I have a new friend. We will absolutely stay here again on a return visit! Thanks again, Norah — we look forward to the next time! Aloha :) :)

Norah was awesome and made us feel totally welcome. The place was exactly as described and had everything we needed. The area was isolated, private and cozy. I would stay again and miss it already!

My husband and I caught the last weekend of the Balloon Fiesta for our anniversary and stayed at Placitas Sanctuary. It was fabulous! It only took 15 minutes to get to the balloon park and yet we felt very remote and had great views of the mountains nearby and the stars at night were AMAZING! We were fortunate enough to have Gracie stay with us and she was adorable and a wonderful furry purring host! Norah was extremely responsive all the way up to and during our stay. The house was exactly as we pictured it and was extremely comfortable and well stocked. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. We lounged in the living room and watched a movie one night, ate at the kitchen table and enjoyed the views, and slept very well in the comfortable bed. I relaxed in the jetted tub and my husband thoroughly enjoyed glancing at Norah's extensive library. Norah even left a bottle of bubbly in the fridge to help us celebrate! Thanks for everything Norah and we wish you (and Gracie) only the best!

Norah's wonderful unique adobe house could not have been better for my family. We were in the area for a wedding and my family rented her house as well as her Mom's apartment close by. We had meals each night made in the amazing organized kitchen on the patio. We hiked the hills surrounding the house each morning and even made it to the top of one hill for a spectacular sunset. The house is amazing and built with such care. Love abounds. The bathtub was fought over each evening as it is large and has a great view (for the morning bathers.) I have rented many houses through Air B and B and Norah's is the best hands down. I recommend for those visiting to drive up the back road from Norah's to see Sandia Man Cave, continuing on the road to the summit of the Sandia mountains for a hike and/or breathtaking views. My family will remember her place for years.

Placitas was exactly what we needed! Just as Norah described it, the property was our sanctuary -- giving us a true getaway. But when we wanted to explore, we had Santa Fe, Albuquerque and even Taos (two hours). Or a hike in the Jemez mountains -- or enjoying the Sandia mountains! But mostly, we just wanted to stay on our quiet property, watching the many birds, rabbits and other friends. Or hiking to the top of the hill for sunrise/sunset. And it's amazing that she doesn't even mention the wonderful PATIO in her listing! It was a huge part of our experience. For those of you who like cats -- talk with Norah about keeping Gracie, her adorable girl. She joined us on one of our hikes, and ended up sleeping with us a couple nights! The house was just as described -- but better stocked than expected. Everything we needed was there (gourmet kitchen, linens and cozy blankets, etc.). So clean and well-kept. For anyone needing to get away from it all, this place delivers.

The Placitas Sanctuary was perfect. The house was clean and comfortable and the neighborhood quiet. We were able to explore the area around the house by taking short hikes and runs up the hillside. We were in town for work and family - it was the perfect place to relax. It was so nice to be able to cook a few meals and to sit out on the patio - especially in the morning. The patio in the morning was probably our favorite part of the stay - that and Gracie the cat. The listing description was accurate. The location was great -- we would stay there again.

Norah's home was the perfect place to stay. We came to New Mexico for the annual balloon fiesta. The sanctuary was, just that, a sanctuary! The house is nicely situated between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, but away from the hustle and bustle of city lights and traffic. The accommodations were very comfortable, it felt like home. Norah was a great host and responded almost immediately with any questions we had. We plan on coming and staying again!

Beautiful adobe guest house minutes from some great nature walks or challenging hikes. Thanks Larry and Leslie!

This place is absolutely amazing! I wish I had time to explore the hills, the scenic view is breathtaking! The house is beautiful and well decorated. Sleeps comfortably, the kitchen is gorgeous and stocked. I really can't say enough about this adorable place! Breathtaking, a real must stay!

This is a gem of a place. The charming house is tucked into one of the many hills that dot the area. The setting is perfect for those who like to trail hike (while all the conveniences of a city can be found with a ten minute drive). Leslie and Larry were great hosts. Would love to come back.

Beautiful location; just what we needed for a good night's sleep as we made our way home. This casita is lovely and Larry was very helpful and communicative.

We only stayed one night here but the place had everything we needed: snacks, towels, somewhere to park, and the beds were comfortable.

The casita is just wonderful. Was very cool inside on a hot day! We enjoyed relaxing comfortable after a long day of traveling!

A peaceful and beautiful casita with stunning mountain views. An incredible place to feel away from the world and still be close to activities in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Leslie and Larry had everthing prepared for our arrival and were the most perfect hosts. The casita offered every ammenity and was by far the nicest place we stayed on our vacation. Our family was sad to leave and enjoyed our time here immensely. We hope to get to return here some day.

A wonderful hidden gem tucked into the hills outside Albuquerque. Super friendly and non intrusive hosts that want you to have a relaxing stay. I would have paid double the price and still been happy. We will be back!

Quiet, natural ambiance, & remote

I stayed at Julie's place for two weeks while I was doing an externship and I was extremely pleased with my experience. I stayed in the Wildflower Suite which is really cute and very functional. It is a very private space as the house itself is located on a quiet mountain road (I think I saw two cars driving on it the whole time) and during my stay I had the back garden to myself. The house is also just a small walk away from the national forest which is an absolutely stunning place to hike. Communication was excellent and Julie was always very quick to respond to message or give me updates as necessary. The scones were also all very good and delivered warm when I needed them in the morning. Overall my stay was fantastic and I would definitely stay again myself if I ever am back in the area for a trip and would recommend it to anyone else.

Loved every minute in this darling casita.

Rebecca was so welcoming.Her home was unique and beautiful. We loved staying in such tranquil surrounding. Bedding was fantastic.

Rebecca was very wellcoming als kind

Amazing. I stayed in this beautiful home with my husband and two parents who are from Guatemala. Rebecca made us feel so at home. She was wonderful and the place was marvelous. It was in a perfect location to get to Santa Fe and Albuquerque and the house itself was extremely comfortable for the four of us.

An amazing historic place with an amazing host! loved the fireplace and the yard. Sweet sweet sweet! Worth every penny! Thank you Rebecca!

This was the best airnb experience that I have ever had! The house was perfect for our New Mexico hiking vacation. It was central to many of the National parks as well as being situated in a great location to visit Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Our family of five (all over the age of 15) had plenty of room and had everything we needed to hang out, make dinner, or rest. This property was a bargain! Rebecca was welcoming, available, and genuinely invested in making sure we had everything we needed to have a great vacation. If you are planning a trip to NM I would highly recommend that you seek out this house as you base camp. Thanks Rebecca- you are what makes airbnb work!

The place was very secluded for our taste. It was very hard to find and we passed right by it. If the owner wasn't there, we would've never found the place. The place was very rustic and you can see that there was a lot of history in it. Interior decorations were very nice but there was no A/C. When it's 90 + degrees when the sun goes down, it feels a little stuffy. She did say she would be installing a window A/C the day we left so this should fix the issue. Construction outside the house made it a little noisy but other than that, it was a nice stay.

This house is the perfect New Mexican/southwest dream home! We arrived very late at night with no issues, and we were completely accommodated without needing to reach out to our host even once. The home is everything I wanted and then some, furnishings and decor are excellently curated and so welcoming. The house is also conveniently located to ABQ and Santa Fe - perfect for the weekend travelers' plans. It's a house full of love! We got engaged on our trip and were able to share it with our best friends by the fireplace. It's peaceful and quiet at night, the sky is full of stars and the Milky Way on clearer nights. Rebecca is very kind and warm. She only met us the morning after our arrival and again when we checked out - she made sure we were comfortable and we definitely were! If you like dogs she has a few you can meet! When we visit ABQ again, this is where we'll continue to stay!
