About this house rental

A romantic, rustic hideaway in a true 'oasis in the desert'. Our authentic adobe casita is situated within Los Terrones, a 40 casita compound set among 6 acres of meadow, in the Village of Los Ranchos. 'Casita Chueca' has exposed vigas (beams), brick floors with radiant heat and a huge picture window on the east side offering plenty of morning light and views to the wildflower meadow.

A perfect rural North Valley experience with all the conveniences of Albuquerque and quick access to Santa Fe.

The casita offers a true New Mexican Adobe experience with modern amenities. We've outfitted the kitchen with all the things needed to prepare a quick breakfast, as well as a full dinner. Enjoy high speed WiFi and AppleTV in the living room for relaxing or cozy up to the 100 year old baby grand piano!

In addition to the radiant in-floor heating, ductless mini-split A/C offers quiet and efficient heating and cooling for optimal temperatures in each room! If there is something you need, please ask!

The casita can accommodate 3 or 4 adults + 2 small children.

The laundry room is a shared space on the greater property (not in the casita).

WILDLIFE DISCLOSURE (PLEASE READ): The neighborhood is semi-rural with the presence of wildlife, including insects. We do treat for insects regularly, however, you may experience their presence in and around the property.

Home was decorated in beautiful southwestern style which we considered a lovely part of our New Mexico experience. Easy parking. WiFi was excellent. Main bedroom had good closet space and comfortable bed. One small bathroom. Close to Balloon Fest parking.

We were in town for a long weekend for a youth climbing competition. Rather than stay in a bland hotel we thought this would help us understand Albuquerque a little better. It's such a cute adobe house. All the things others have said are true but we loved the character! We walked along the irrigation canal a couple times - it has some shade which is nice. We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay here again. Do make sure to drive really slow in and out of the neighborhood - one neighbor felt I was going too fast and was upset. Oh also the directions don't tell you a casita number. We figured it out but that would be helpful to know for sure that you're at the right place.

The house had everything we needed. On a quiet road. some low doorways and tight bath. Best if you are under 5'10" and 200 lbs.

Unbelievable Charm in this Casita

We booked this casita for lodging for a girls trip to the 2018 Balloon Fiesta months in advance. There were 3 adults. Perfect location. about $8-10 to Uber to Balloon Fiesta Field where they have a designated Uber/Lyft lot for drop off and pick up. There is a bike path you can take but was a little dark and scary on the ride home. The owners gave us decent bikes and helmets to borrow so we didn't even have to rent our own. The location is pretty short drive to the airport, Old Towne, restaurants, Petrogylph National monument, Route 66 among other places. The Casita itself is very authentic. You will love the brick floors and wood beams as well as the Kiva fireplace. I took pictures of it and posted on my Facebook page and got hundreds of likes and comments about how charming the place was. The pictures posted here really don't do justice. There is a newer leather sofa and chair that is extremely comfortable. The TV, dvd player and internet work perfectly. There is great cell phone service in the area. The refrigerator,freeze, dishwasher. stove and dining area are adequate. There is a Smith's (Kroger) grocery store nearby on 4th Street so we suggest purchasing breakfast items and snacks for your stay. Beds are very comfortable.Others commented about the small bathroom. It works fine! The shower head is removable and it has good water pressure. How much space does a person really need in a bathroom anyway? Do your business and get out! Take time for the hour drive to Santa Fe. It is very scenic and when you do, be sure to visit the Plaza and Ten Thousand Waves Spa. Book your spa appointment in advance. It was amazing. Also, I might add that there is a UPS store on 4th street that packages souvenirs to mail home. We also found a FedEx in Santa Fe (google address). It made it easy to mail items home, especially some of the fragile ceramics so popular in New Mexico. Because the weather is so variable in October, we packed a lot of clothes and therefore suitcases were stuffed. The option of having shipping companies close by allowed us women to literally shop til we dropped! I have stayed at several VRBOs and can testify that this is well worth it! We all want to return! Thanks Jan and Ryan. The Gals from Dayton, Ohio, Salt Lake City, and Las Cruces

Adorable Casita
Adorable Casita
This adobe casita is classic New Mexico, nestled into an old neighborhood in the North Valley. We arrived just before Christmas to find a decorated live tree and lights! The casita is small but ample for four adults and a child, with a well-stocked kitchen, tv, and wifi. Though the evenings were cold the radiant heat under the tile floors kept us quite warm. There a large open space outside filled with beautiful cranes and a play structure which our toddler grandchild enjoyed (plus a school playground next door). From this location you are very close to Los Poblanos lavender farm, wineries, antique malls, and the Balloon Park. Definitely a memorable stay!
