About this property

VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS at Casa TESORO

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!

Balloon Fiesta!! We have an excellent location in terms of getting to and from the balloon fiesta. 5 night minimum over one weekend or the other. if you stay the entire 10 days of balloon fiesta, there is a discount available. Please contact us for details.

We enjoyed sitting on the back porch and made friends with the local hummingbirds and quail that frequented each evening. Thank you!

Very enjoyable experience

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

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.

perfect location

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.

About the host

Hosted by Trish Elias

Host profile image

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.
