This was one of the kindest most accommodating hosts Ive ever had. I had date changes and being 9 months pregnant some other requests which were all accommodated for. She checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well. The home was peaceful and equipped with everything needed to make for a great long stay. I would recommend this property with full stars. Thank you!

5-Star Review! We have been Vrbo hosting since May 2015, and this was perhaps our favorite, most successful booking. Why? Because these two couples booked nearly a year in advance for their “bucket list” Albuquerque International Balloon adventure. So, as one might imagine, we were under a bit of pressure. During the following months we stayed in touch to be sure the property would be suitable for them. It appears it was a perfect match, and we are happy they had such a wonderful trip. When we returned to the property, we were pleasantly surprised to find a thoughtful gift basket from their home town, Pittsburgh, PA. We look forward to their return in the near future. Thank you Vrbo! It’s folks like these who make our job so much fun!! Fondly, Shariesse

Perfect oasis for our vacation

This house is everything that is advertised and more. Shariesse went above and beyond as a host from the initial phone call after booking to the welcoming gifts and recommendations on restaurants and things to do. It was centrally located to everything we wanted to do…hot air ballooning, Breaking Bad tour, museums, Sandia Peak. Beautiful wildlife was fun to watch both in the yard and on the golf course. We had a wonderful week.

This family of four traveled 1400+ miles to visit The Land of Enchantment. We were delighted that they chose Tesoro del Alma and had such a wonderful vacation. It was fun to occasionally text message with them during their stay, as they were always away on some fabulous adventure or eating delicious food at a popular local restaurant. We are grateful to Vrbo for coordinating yet another perfect fit. We never take for granted a generous 5-star review. Thank you kindly, Shariesse and Phyllis.

About the host

Hosted by Shariesse Taylor McCannon, 505-220-1776

Host profile image

We are a mother-daughter team who pay special attention to detail. We are Vrbo Premier Hosts, established in May 2015. We have had a lot of fun hosting and developing friendships

Critter watching is a favorite hobby. We have logged over 90 species of birds in the field guide that have come to the feeders. We like to watch the squirrels and bunnies play. We offer peanut butter, jelly, suet and seed. The baby quail are just darling

Sunrises and sunsets are beautiful from the backyard and veranda. It is peaceful to watch the mountains change colors in the evening from pink to purple to gray.

Why they chose this property

The views, of course ;-) Tesoro del Alma “Treasure of the Soul” is located on a golf course, and we can see for miles in all directions -- Sandia and Manzano Mountains to the east, city to the south, petroglyphs to the west, and open skies to the north. The colors of the mountain change throughout the day and in the evenings turn from pink to purple to gray. The two-story home is just the right size -- about 1600 square feet. It is peaceful to sit on the private veranda or fenced patio. More than 90 species of birds, including quail, finches, roadrunners, woodpeckers, and hummingbirds have visited the property. It's always fun to see hot air balloons glide over the house and sometimes land on the golf course just yards away. The backyard is well manicured with Kentucky Blue Grass and flowers. There is easy access to popular sites -- Balloon Fiesta Park, Sandia Peak Tram, Zoo, Old Town, Railrunner, Sawmill District, museums, Rio Grande River. There are several parks within walking distance -- a neighborhood park, 18-hole Disc course, tennis courts, playground, dog park and Petroglyph National Monument. It’s about 11 miles from Albuquerque International Airport. Just a mile from the interstate and minutes from hospitals, banks, grocery stores, and shopping malls. Santa Fe is about an hour away.

What makes this property unique

Spectacular views of golf course, mountains and petroglyphs from the patio, backyard, veranda, and thirteen windows and sliding doors. Hot air ballons glide overhead and land on the golf course. Baby quail visit the property in the spring and hummingbirds visit in the summer and fall.
