"Perfect Stays for Balloon Fiesta" Mountain Views Await!
Balloonist Welcomed! Short trip to and from Balloon Fiesta Park. High Speed Internet.
Discover your New Mexican home-away-from-home at this 3-bed, 2-bath family vacation rental! Settled in a quaint suburb just outside of Albuquerque, this Rio Rancho casa offers a perfect setting to entertain a family. Admire the Sandia Mountains view from your private patio or hike the trails in the nearby Jemez Mountains. You can try your luck at the Santa Ana Star Casino or catch a show at the Santa Ana Star Center arena. No matter your agenda, your group of 6 will love this central home base!
Our place is considered wheelchair inaccessible therefore it does not meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards.
This property is ideal for a large family with the 3rd bedroom providing plenty of space for the children or plenty of comfort for 2 adults.
This 1700-square foot home includes: The Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed.
You will be very pleased with the outdoor space of Rancho del Sol which includes a barbecue grill, outdoor table and chairs for 8 on an inviting party-lit deck. Such a great setting for an evening Barbeque for the family! A view of the Sandia Mountains are a treat for evening gazing while the kids enjoy smores at the fire-pit nearby.
Inside, you'll find high ceilings and full windows, creating a spacious living area ideal for spending quality time with your whole group. Relax by flipping through channels on the flat-screen Smart TV or bring out the laughs with a silly board game.
Nothing brings family and friends together quite like a delicious meal! An arched entryway leads you into the fully equipped kitchen, where you can prepare your favorite home-cooked meal to share with the whole crew, then gather around the dining table or step out to the patio and dine with a mountain view!
Once the stars have blanketed the sky, you'll be eager to crawl under the covers of your comfortable bed. With each bedroom boasting ample closet space and dressers, you'll be able to fully unpack and make yourself at home.
Rio Rancho is a quiet suburb of Albuquerque, ideal for anyone seeking a break from the bustle of daily life. A short 10-minute stroll will bring you to Willow Creek Trailhead and the Open Space, where you can take in the high desert surroundings. You can reach popular hiking and biking trails of the Sandia Mountains within 30 minutes and the Jemez Mountains within an hour and a half or make the 1-hour journey to marvel at Cabezon Peak's volcanic wonder. Other hiking options include Boca Canyon (16.1 miles), Pueblo Montano Trailhead (13.0 miles), Rio Grande Nature Center State Park (16.0 miles), Cibola National Forest (18 miles), Santa Fe National Forest (58.9 miles), and a little further but worth the drive, the Bandelier National Monument (82.9 miles).
But, you don't have to go too far for entertainment! Grab tickets and travel just 6 miles for a concert or sporting event at Santa Ana Star Center, make the 2-mile drive to try your luck at Santa Ana Star Casino or venture a few miles further out to the Sandia Resort & Casino. Local attractions for the whole family include playground splash-park "A Park Above", J&R Vintage Auto Museum, Elevate Trampoline Park, and Acequia Vineyards & Winery, all within a 10-mile radius of home. In Santa Fe (~58 miles), enjoy Meow Wolf, Santa Fe Plaza Inc, The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, and the Loretto Chapel to name a few popular sites.
If you're into golfing, try out one of our beutiful local golf courses. Santa Ana Golf Club (4 miles), Twin Warriors Golf Club (4.5 miles), Paradise Hills Golf Course (9.6 miles), Sandia Golf Club (6.0 miles)
Albuquerque is under 30 minutes away and offers many attractions such as the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, TopGolf, and Old Town to name only a few. Whether you're sticking to the suburbs, venturing into the mountains, or cruising around the city, you won't run out of things to add to your itinerary!

About the host
Hosted by Shari Cochrane
Hi!!! Welcome to my very first vacation rental. I am so enthused about this opportunity & to serve in this capacity. My heart’s desire is for you to feel at home, in a space that is safe, comfortable, and clean. Moreover, to provide you with the environment that will allow you to relax and not worry about the cares of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. {Smile.}
A little about me. I am a Veteran of the Armed Forces. We are a retired family but believe in working until you simply can’t anymore. I have a wonderful husband of 20 years, & 3 wonderful boys. I love making my boys breakfast every morning and taking them everywhere they need to go. My happy place is the Bosque Trail, taking nature walks and appreciating the mountain views, running coyotes, & being greeted by friendly walkers along the way.
I love to shop at HomeGoods, write poetry, listen to music & harvest honey from our backyard honeybees. Yes, we are a beekeeping family. It’s my husband’s favorite hobby!
We have come to love this area more & more.
This community is rooted in family! It’s been a healthy & safe haven for our children. Our home away from home.

Why they chose this property
We chose to have our vacation rental in Rio Rancho because we know the area so well having lived here for nearly 15 years. The community is settled, and our neighbors are friendly, warm & have lived here a long time.
We love that this home is so close to the river & trail. Its peaceful, nestled in a quiet neighborhood, but not too far away from places that meet the needs of a family.
And when it’s Balloon Fiesta time, we see plenty of balloons fly & land nearby! It’s the best kept secret!

What makes this property unique
When you stay at our rental, you will always remember that warm feeling of love and care. That's why we have placed a beautiful red heart at the entrance of our property!
Then, greet you with warm aroma's & sweet sentiments to make you feel welcomed and wanted.
Best of all, I’m not too far away so if you need me, please don’t hesitate to reach me. It’s my pleasure as your hostess.
Thank You for stopping by and considering your stay with us!
