Stayed Sep 13, 2023The one bedroom Apartment it self was very nice, had everything you needed, although no cable, only antenna for the TV was a hassle trying to figure out the TV...the property had center blocks in front by the front gate...When we arrived on our check in date, noone was available to let us in, I had to use the Ring door bell Twice to finally get Someone to answer which was Brandon, so Brandon Called, he thought we were not booked for that day we got their,, we had booked for 2 days, had some confusion on the booking. Other than that everything else was great.

Stayed Jun 5, 2026Mike and Bernie were very hospitable and helpful. They showed us around the casita upon arrival and all its ins and outs. They had information on local places to eat and sights and other things to do. They kept us informed of all that we needed to know. The casita was immaculate and very comfortable. There was plenty of room for the two of us and everything imaginable was provided. They were so thoughtful that there was a Keurig coffee maker and a regular drip one as well, so we had the best of both worlds! We could have done all our own cooking had we been so inclined. The property was close to the city but also rural enough to satisfy those who need the sense of space. The views are magnificent, which made watching the sun set perfect. Albuquerque’s famous hot air balloons were visible most mornings, floating by or landing nearby. We have relatives in the area and will be returning in the future. We will always look to book this casita again and again.Thanks for a great stay!

Stayed May 7, 2026The property owners had great communication but also gave us privacy. There were plenty of clean linens and towels. Kitchen was clean and provided everything we needed to cook meals- grill on the back patio was a huge bonus. On Saturday morning we saw hot air balloons while sitting out back. Overall fun and enjoyable experience!

Stayed Mar 31, 2026What a wonderful stay we had at the casita. It is set up with a guest's every need in mind. The decor is cheerful and welcoming -the whole place is excellently appointed. The hosts were available for any questions or concerns and could not have been more helpful, yet they were not intrusive. The sunset views are stunning. We had an easy drive to anything we needed in town. There is no doubt that we will stay at this delightful place on our next visit to Rio.

Coffee on the back patio in the morning after a good sleep on the most comfortable bed! This Casita had everything you need to enjoy your stay.

Stayed Jan 9, 2025Our stay at the Casita was absolutely perfect! The casita was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. The location is off the beaten path, but we were pleasantly surprised by the peaceful atmosphere and views of the Sandias. We saw a hot air balloon one morning and we remained warm and cozy while temps dropped and snow fell. This casita is attached to the owners home, but you’d never know that. I hardly saw them while we were there, but when we did, they were like your own family! The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making our check-in and communication seamless. They offer over 900 movies to choose from for your entertainment. Everything was so comfortable and exactly what we hoped for. We can't wait to return for another wonderful getaway!

Stayed Nov 24, 2024We were in town to visit some family over Thanksgiving and had a great stay, not just because of time with family, but largely because of Mike & Bernie's beautiful, clean, and comfortable property. The bed was comfortable and has lots of storage. The walk-in closet provided even more storage. We loved the large jacuzzi tub with water that gets nice and hot. We were able to unwind after long days of family time with access to Netflix and a DVD player. The kitchen had everything we needed and the entire place was very well kept and clean. There was no outside noise since it's nestled in a sparsely inhabited mesa area. The only hiccup had to do with parking, but our gracious hosts quickly worked with us to accommodate.We highly recommended this stay and we have already decided that the next time we are in the Albuquerque area we would love to be able to stay here again! Thank you Bernie and Mike!- The Gomez's

Stayed Sep 12, 2024We enjoyed the quiet of our stay. Very nice for 2 people. A private patio was the perfect spot to sit and relax. Still close to town but far enough out to be quiet. Amazing view of Rio Rancho lights at night as we drove back after sunset. Every thing needed was provided. Owners are great. A balloon landed right next to our casita one morning, then took back off!
