Casa Tesoro, which means, Treasure house is located within minutes to Old Town, Downtown, The Bosque bike and hike Trails, Petroglyphs, Volcanoes and is within easy access to the Balloon Festival park. Yet it sits peacefully on the quiet west side of Ladera Golf Course, allowing for fabulous sunset and sunrise views of The Sandia Mountain range. Watch the balloons drift by almost daily throughout the year. (Sometimes they land right out the back) This patio home has two bedrooms, along with a sitting room.
If entertaining is what you like to do, the dining room sits up to 10 people, and has gorgeous views of the mountains. We love sitting on the backyard patio watching the birds, bunnies, roadrunners and assorted little wildlife dramas taking place, and watching sunsets color the mountains during dinner. Many amenities, including washer and dryer, grills, fully stocked kitchen, high end bed linens, three flatscreen TV's, comfortable furnishings, and a quiet, graceful decor make for a great stay here in Albuquerque.
We have stayed in VRBO properties ourselves, and understand what people want in a good vacation rental. We are also nearby to greet you and help you with any information you need to make your stay successful and FUN!

I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay. We will gladly welcome you back anytime.
Property is exactly as described. Host was very responsive to questions and messages. We were beyond pleased with the home and would absolutely stay here again if we get back to the area! Loved sitting on the patio each morning drinking coffee and watching the sun rise over Sandia Mountains. We also saw balloons land in the golf course! Definitely a 10/10 and 5 stars plus.Thanks again Karen-we had an amazing time!!!!!!
We loved the view of the mountains and golf course from the back patio. The house was comfortable and stocked with all the necessities. Karen, the owner, was fabulous to work with. We’d stay here again.
The view of the mountains was wonderful specially in the late afternoon. The property was very spacious and the owner was very helpful and quick response to any and all questions.

Thanks Toney, I’m glad you all had an enjoyable time at Casa Tesoro. You were great guests!
For us this property was the right size. It has an amazing view of the sunrise over the mountains every day. It is within 15 minutes of much of Albuquerque, like old town, down town, and the north side too. Loved the stay here.

Thanks Matt. We are so glad you enjoyed the house and sunrises.
Loved the home and location. Very quiet and enjoyed starting our day with air balloons drifting by our patio.
Karen is a great host and communication was excellent. We plan on returning and our stay confirmed our decision to retire here and hopefully in this neighborhood.

We really enjoyed our time in New Mexico! This home was clean and well equipped for what we needed. Really comfortable beds! Good location to lots of places to see, including Santa Fe only an hour away. Loved the Petroglyphs trails and how close they are to this home. Enjoyed the different birds on the back patio as well! Thank you!

Thank you Kelly. You. were also a great renter and we hope you had a good time at the balloon Fiesta.
Extremely clean, very well furnished, great back yard patio area backs up to Ladera Golf Course, beautiful views of Sandia mountains, conveniently located within 5 or 6 minutes of I-40 enabling fast access to any part of the city. I HIGHLY recommend this property. Karen is super responsive and provided all amenities for a great stay.

Thank you for the positive review Tom. I'm glad you had a great time and please come back anytime you're in Albuquerque. .
Home was clean, easy to enter and exit daily, and Karen always answered so fast anytime I had a question or left a comment. Neighborhood was very nice and we felt safe. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch and made friends with the local hummingbirds and quail that frequented each evening. Thank you!

I’m so glad you made friends with our locals. You were delightful guests and my cleaner appreciates what you did to help with the laundry. Please come back again when covid is over so you appreciate more of the dining and tourist experiences this area has to offer!
My friend and I stayed at the house while attending a conference at the Hotel Albuquerque. We were very conveniently located to the hotel, numerous good restaurants, grocery stores and the Petroglyph National Monument. The house was clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the quail families who visited the bird feeders in the garden! One additional plus is the beautiful mountain view from the back windows. Very enjoyable experience!

THE VIEWS ARE TERRIFIC!! And, the home is very comfortable.
We woke up every morning and had coffee on the patio - every morning of our stay we had between 3-18 hot air balloons floating by... one morning a balloon even landed on the golf course and we saw it close up including the team that came and deflated it, rolled it up and carried it away. The location was terrific and central to everything we wanted to do. The beds, baths and kitchen were just what we needed and were so happy with the choice to stay there. Highly recommend this rental.

Spacious, well- stocked and appointed. Golf course and mountain views. Great sunrises & sunsets!
Enjoyed our one month stay, weather was very nice in August. Very comfortable beds and furniture. No noise & wonderful neighbors. Loved seeing quail, hummingbirds, rabbits & geese off the large back patio. Only drawback is the owner could provide more than just local channels plus Netflix on the TVs. This would be a lovely rental to view the Balloon Fiesta in October from that patio and avoid the parking & congestion hassle!

The Ladera Property is WONDERFUL! Close to everything you could want and need with beautiful views.
Stayed at the Ladera property for 1 week. The home has a lovely floor plan and accommodated all of our needs and wants. We enjoyed dinners around the large dining room table and BBQs in the backyard with gorgeous views. The golf course was lovely and we even got to see a few hot air balloons land on the fairway. I told my husband that the property was so special that I could actually see myself living there long term. Thank you for featuring this wonderful home. Tim & Alice

Thanks Tim and Alice. Was lovely to have you and am glad you got to experience the balloons.
Salute to Morning Coffee, Safe Landings, and Adventures
The first morning, coffee in hand, we were sitting on the veranda overlooking the golf course when seven hot air balloons appeared. To our surprise one balloon landed on the course directly behind the house.
That was the first of many pleasant surprises that we experienced during our weeklong stay. A very attentive hostess, well equipped kitchen, easy access to restaurants, petroglyphs, and Santa Fe less than an hour away for the occasional day trip.

Those are some of my favorite things! I’m happy you had a nice stay Deb and family. You were wonderful guests.
Very lovely neighbors on either side. The golf course in back was really beautiful in the morning and my husband enjoyed playing there a couple of times a week.
The location was great for exploring the city although it is a town for a car and not walking. That is unless you are walking the Bosque, which was a saving grace in the mornings for our long walks with our dog. It was a hot month and that was just a 10 minute drive to park and walk. We counted about 35 species of birds on our walks, some porcupines and many other critters.
We enjoyed our stay and the hosts were wonderful to deal with.

Many thanks to Mary, Rod and Reba for being such delightful guests. I wish I had control over the weather and could've given you a cooler time. Alas, my powers are limited. My neighbors enjoyed you as much as you enjoyed them. Please come back again when the temps are more normal. "Again Thanks!
About the host
Hosted by Trish Elias
Hi, I'm Trish. I'm a small local business owner, photographer and artist. Originally my career as a travel nurse took me all across the country, allowing me to experience many cities and accommodations. I know what makes a stay comfortable, seamless, and private. I love to call Albuquerque home and am excited to be your host.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property for the location, the views, the safe neighborhood and the closeness to the Bosque trails and Old town. We also liked the lay out of the house with the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the golf course.
What makes this property unique
With 12 foot ceilings, large windows, and a great layout, all on one floor, we fell in love with the feeling of spacousness. It was important for us to have a house that was in a quiet neighborhood, yet we are able to bike to most places we want to go within minutes. We love sitting in the backyard with the open sky and mountain views.
