Best Hideaway in the Mountains

My mom has a house nearby but we needed more room for the adult kids and stayed at this listing nearby and it was beyond wonderful. So clean, and has everything helpfully labeled for easily finding things in the kitchen, we were able to make full family meals. The views are unbeatable and the air hockey table and games in the closet made for some fun nights with the family. Would love to stay again!

Why they chose this property

I loved the ability to enjoy rural life with the benefit of being 25 minutes from downtown Albuquerque, not to mention that the views are just breathtaking and the sense of community among the neighbors is just outstanding.
