We loved the bear house!

My wife, four year old son and I stayed for several nights and we loved it. The house was very clean, just as described, and had plenty of amenities. We spent a lot of time relaxing in the back yard, which has a nice lawn, patio table and chairs, a fire pit with seating, grill, and a gorgeous mural. The neighborhood is very safe. We took walks around the area after dinner and felt very comfortable doing so and the house is right by many good restaurants and stores. If we went to Albuquerque again we would definitely want to stay here. My son is still talking about how he misses running around the backyard.

relaxing getaway

This cozy home helped to make our first trip to NM truly enchanted. The host is very responsive and was kind enough to resolve a last-minute booking issue that was our fault. This home is well-located and close to the Emery trail, which we enjoyed hiking(incredible views in the Sandria foothills). The house was very clean and had everything we needed to cook and grill our meals. I hope we get another chance to revisit!

Good area of Albuquerque to stay. Lots of good restaurants nearby. We enjoyed the house and the fireplace in the winter was wonderful. Kitchen is everything needed including a blender. The bathrooms have soap, shampoo and conditioner. Very thoughtful.

This was an excellent place to stay for my wife and me. First: it was sparkling clean. That’s always a good start. Second, it was beautifully decorated inside and out. The furnishings (couches, dining area, beds) were all pleasant and welcoming. The court yard area was amazing. Shade! And some green grass and all the patio furniture you would ever need. The mural on the dividing wall was stunning. From what we learned it was drawn by the owner’s daughter. I could look at it all day. Kitchen was well equipped. We lacked nothing. The washer and dryer were super new and handy. It was a great stay and we WILL be back. Price was competitive with a nicer hotel but so much more space and peace and quiet here. Never heard a peep from the neighbors. Loved it!
