Albuquerque, New Mexico
Literally in the mountains on the edge of Albuquerque, this cozy fully furnished 1 bedroom is an attached apartment with its own private garage and patio. Sandia Mountain hiking trails start right out the back door, while still being within 20 minutes of downtown Albuquerque. Our nearest neighbors are 500 feet away and all around us are stunning vistas of the city and incredible views of the mountains. If you love being in the wilderness, this is the most secluded place you will find on the west side of the mountain. And for our summer guests, escape the heat in the higher altitude. Please note: For our winter guests, from December 15 through February 28 I require 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicles to be a guest. Exceptions will be made in warmer winter weather.
This is a great hidden gem to have in mind if you are visiting the Sandia mountains. The view from the room is stunning, the host was very helpful and informative about things to do and where to eat, and it was very clean. I will recommend this place to family and friends. It is also close to the tramway and trail entrances.
We loved our stay at Casa Canoncito! Bryan was an excellent host and communicator! We also loved Indigo & Pickles! Two dogs who introduced themselves to us during our stay.
Enjoyed our stay and getting to know the (northern) Sandia mountains. Our favorite hiking trail was La Luz 137.
If you’re looking for a quiet off grid stay, this is it. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed being away from the sounds of the city.
Everything about this place was great. Owners were available if we needed them (we didn’t) great knowing in case. Our dog had a great place to stay in the yard! We would definitely stay again when we are in the Albuquerque area! Thanks for having a vacancy on our short notice.
This was a quiet place to stay. Hiking right out the door. Road definitely needs 4wd. Make sure to use the Sandia Spa that is nearby.
The apartment was very clean and well furnished with all the amenities you could need. It is very quiet and you have complete privacy. It was a pleasant surprise to have a garage for our car with a private entrance from the garage. We would recommend that you have a high clearance SUV because the drive down the dirt road is a bit challenging at times. But when you walk into the apartment, you’ll know it was worth the challenge. We are very thankful Bryan and Olivia shared their piece of paradise with us!
We stayed in June. I was a little worried it would be hot with no AC but the ceiling fans and placement on the mountain make all the difference. We enjoyed our stay and really appreciated all the attention to detail like liquid soap in the bathroom, paper towels, dishwasher packs and laundry pods, trash bags. We have stayed at other places and they don't provide anything which is difficult when you fly instead of drive to your destination. The best unofficial perk of this stay is the welcome committee. Indigo and Pickles (dogs). They are friendly and love kids which was nice for us. They stay upstairs officially but if you are lucky they will greet you from time to time.
The property is in an incredibly beautiful location and the views are wonderful! The property is very clean and had absolutely everything we needed. We really enjoyed seeing the petroglyphs and also hiking the Volcano trails. We had a wonderful hiked right at the property in the Sandia Mountain range and saw an old mine shaft.
Views are unbeatable! Beautiful patio views to the mountains and sunset/city views out the front. Basement apartment with private patio and garage, good kitchen facilities. Laundry. Trailheads all around. Responsive hosts. BUT: best for 2 ppl as the pull-out couch is just not bearable even for a kid - my 13yo slept on the floor instead. ALSO: 4wd really is necessary as thr dirt road section is short but the worst ruts I've EVER seen - not for the faint of heart or the bald of tire.
Came from Ohio for a long Easter weekend. This was the perfect spot for our getaway. Very cozy, comfortable, and quiet place in the mountains. Just what we were looking for. I highly recommend staying here and hope to return one day.
