We work hard ... But have no fear we play hard too! 
Whenever time allows, we can be found cooking up a fabulous concoction in the kitchen (red wine in hand) & we often share with our guests too;) or we may be out & about walking the rio grande with our THREE , four legged family: Bella, Buck & Hank ... On many occasions, we visit the plethora of dog friendly restaurant patio's and can often be found on our bikes headed to a new SW Adventure in The Land Of Enchantment.
We absolutely love, love, love living in the south west & hope to share all of it's wonder & beauty with you!

Why they chose this property
For some it is the Waterfall & others The Hot Tub or the proximity to Entertainment, walking trails, hiking and all The Land Of Enchantment has to offer. Most will mention the perfect weather, four distinct seasons without harsh extremes. But almost everyone's answer will include something about the views. Many homes look north toward the hills and mesas, all the way to the Jemez range and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Santa Fe. Others face the mountain, that smooth yet imposing spine of the Sandias which covers with snow in the winter. Some homes get both views. In another pleasant paradox of "El Alburgue del Pinon Life", these comforting views are always the same, and yet they change constantly thanks to the sun's evolving angles and the seasonal rebirth of high desert flowers and shrubs.With it's convenient proximity to both the Albuquerque-Rio Rancho metro, Bernalillo area, Placitas and Santa Fe, Rio Rancho is recognized as a unique – and a uniquely situated – bedroom, community for these areas.Rio Rancho brings The blessings of clean, fresh air, truly great neighbors, and the presence of the majestic Sandia mountains.  Rio Rancho has it's own micro climate and is almost always 5 TO 10 DEGREES COOLER (if not more) creating a bit cooler weather in the Summer and a surprise of beautiful peaceful snow in the winter ... which provides all the best elements.Breath deeply and allow the beauty of the Waterfall, Sandia Mountains, pines, pinons and sage brush studded landscape melt away any tension. It is Natural New Mexico, nothing artificial, contrived or out of place. Yes, as far as we are concerned, ""El Alburgue del Pinon" has it all. Enjoy super close access to major thoroughfares, frequent outings to Bernalillo, Placitas, Old Town, Downtown, Nob Hill AND The Jemez Mountains, a spectacular drive from Rio Rancho. The dances and feast days at Jemez Pueblo are surreal. Jemez Hot Springs is a natural retreat for restoring body and mind. See You Soon!
What makes this property unique
I Know we have said it ... But it truly is an Outdoor Mecca - The Views, The Sunrises & Sunsets, The Stars, The City Lights are Natures Wonders & Truly Amazing !
