Just steps to the national forest, this fully equipped historic mountain style home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience to Albuquerque, Santa Fe and the East Mountains. Plan your vacation for hiking, biking, ski or just relaxation. The former 1925 Pine Cone Tea room was the stopping off place for refreshments for those traveling back and forth to ABQ from the top of the Sandias. Then it was an all day trip.

Located at 7,000 ft elevation beneath towering ponderosa forests of the East Mountains along the Sandia Mountains and world famous Turquoise Trail, this affordable 1,400 sf self contained apartment with private entrance is situated in historic Tejano Canyon and along the original route to the Sandia Ski Hills & Trails.

Just 15 min to Albuquerque, 25 min to airport and 50 min to Santa Fe. Enjoy scenic day trips to historic mining towns of Golden, Madrid & Cerillos. Continue to famous Santa Fe & Taos and visit historic old towns with outstanding restaurants and world renown galleries.

Use this beautiful and peaceful setting on over 2 acres as your base camp. Perfect for a romantic get-away or family vacation.

Bring your mountain bikes, horses, running or hiking gear and step right into hundreds of miles of national forest trails.

Just a half day hike to the top of the mountain depending upon your ability (10,000+ elevation). Close to public horseback riding. Just a few minutes drive to Sandia Ski Hill, Capulin snow play area, trail heads and Sandia Peak scenic overlook & restaurant (10,567 elevation).

Find peace and seclusion, away from the crowded trails. Short drive to cafes, Ribs bbq restaurant, Greenside Cafe, gallery, gift shops and more.

Full service grocery store, Triangle Grocery, within two miles for all your needs.

    Brad was a great host...made sure we had all the info we needed but didn't hover. Just to make it perfect, they may want to consider a K-cup type coffee machine. Thanks!

    This was such a great place to stay, very cozy and very clean. Brad was super helpful whenever we needed, very short drive to trails and the scenic cedar crest drive. About 5 people stayed here with us and we were very comfortable.

    The location was beautiful. Feel like your in the mountains but close to town all ar the same time. The owners live upstairs, which we didnt realize untill we got there, but they are friendly and accommodating and the area where the guest stays is completly self sufficient with its own entrance. Inside it was clean, no weird smells or stains, and the way they decorated was so cute you feel like your in a wood cabin. The tvs are a little dated so i couldn't stream from my phone and they only had apple tv which was ok because i have Amazon prime video and Hulu but if you don't have an account with something on there you won't be able to watch tv. They did have a blue ray player in the living room but not the bedroom. Overall it was an enjoyable stay and could see myself coming back and will be referring friends and family.

    This place was absolutely beautiful! The furnishings and decorations were amazing and inviting. It was so comfortable that our family rarely left. It truly was a much needed retreat. The property was beautiful with wonderful hiking and trails, beautiful plants and trees, and wildlife. There were hummingbird feeders on the outdoor living room that I could have watched for hours. This home was like a mountain retreat from the rest of the world. Thank you!

    We loved the place but did not realize the owners lived upstairs and using the hot tub would-be on their porch up to the right of the property. Maybe we should have looked into this more, but the pictures really did not show this was the reality.

    Quiet, comfortable rustic setting beautifully decorated. It was, for our group, a perfect place to stay in ABQ. Cooler temp and nicer environment than the city but close enough to be convenient.

    This place has such an amazing cozy feel, we loved it. Everything for a good home base to enjoy the Sandia area. VRBO messaging was a little scratchy, not owners fault. This stay was value packed and I would recommend it. One thing to note is second bedroom is on the small side with twin beds. The master is gorgeous!

    My wife and I had one of our best vacations ever at the Historic 1925 Pine Cone Inn. First and foremost, our hosts were amazing! Every Vrbo host should be as warm and welcoming as they are. They greeted us when we arrived and maintained sxcellent communication throughout our stay, and they provided us with an amazing itinerary for places to go in the Albuquerque area. The Inn itself is tastefully decorated with all the amenities of home waiting for you. Cozy, comfortable and quiet. It was like coming home every night. We visited friends in the area so we will definitely stay here again when we come back. It was a joy to come back to the Inn at night to relax in the hot tub and just enjoy the peacefulness of nature. We are grateful to our hosts for allowing us to feed their horses apples while we were there. It was a special treat for us to be able to feed them and enjoy being around them for a little while each day. We highly recommed a stay at the Historic 1925 Pine Cone Inn. You will not be dissappointed!

    We loved our stay at the Pine Cone Inn! It was just what we needed to decompress for a week. Located just far enough away from Albuquerque for peace and quiet, but close enough to easily drive down for dinner and to enjoy the balloon festival. It's on a quiet road, with the top of Sandia Crest and it's amazing panoramic views from a deck and walkways at a 10,700 feet altitude are just a 20-minute drive up the road. And all along that drive there were countless wonderful hiking trails ranging from easy to difficult, many of them ending up with amazing views in all directions. The house was spotless, with comfortable beds and linens and was very cute and cozy. It has a wonderful front patio area to sit and relax and a very nice hot tub with great views, surrounded by a pine forest.There are lots of little places to grab something to eat nearby if you don't want to drive into Albuquerque, and a beautiful golf course and dining room with an outside patio and deck to watch the sunset less than 10 minutes away. Brad, the host, was extremely communicative and helpful and we were happy to have rented from him and will do so again in the future. You really can't go wrong with this wonderful little secluded Paradise!

    My wife and I stayed a few days at the Pine Cone Inn while we were visiting our son who lives up the mountain about 20 minutes. It was a very pleasant and comfortable experience for us. Our host, Brad, is very thorough and communicates every detail (and more) about the property and the east mountain area to ensure a great experience. We've stayed before with Brad at his larger property closer to Cedar Crest. Both are top-notch properties with attention to every detail. Highly recommended.

    We stayed 4 nights. Brad communicated clearly before and during our stay so there were no gliitches checking in and lots of suggestions for things to do in the area! The home was spotless and very comfortable! They provide TP/paper towels, soad/shampoo/laundry detergent and salt/pepper/seasonings. The kitchen is small but more than sufficient. Although tje host lives in the upper half of the home, it is designed in such a way that it is very private (and cozy!) I really can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay! One word of caution, don't let google trick you into coming in through Placitas on 165! A beautiful drive BUT a really rough/unimproved road! (Brad said that had never happened before so probably just my issue!). designed in ry private

    What a relaxing, beautiful place to stay! The hosts were very welcoming and conversational providing lots of info on the local site and things not to miss. The facility is super comfortable and has all you need for a fabulous get away. Know that the fridge and kitchen are tiny spaces. Look before you shop! The hot tub was a welcomed destination after a long day of hiking, ballooning and site seeing. If we are ever back in that area, we will be staying again!!
