New Mexico vacation rentals

Who wouldn't be captivated by Santa Fe? With its crisp air and gorgeous mountain views, endless places to dine out and shop, and fabulous art for days, it's an approachable city meant for exploration and enjoyment. Our favorite part of our week-long trip was staying at Casita Del Norte. Blissfully peaceful, yet right in the heart of it all, we were delighted by the distinctive adobe architecture and contemporary charm with beautifully-appointed furnishings and decor. Every detail was considered and there were wonderful little surprises to be discovered in each room: a pleasing vinyl collection and record player, colorful Mexican hand-painted bathroom sinks, comfortable patios at every turn. The kitchen was so well-equipped that there was nothing we wouldn't have been able to cook there. The bedrooms featured king size beds and plenty of closet and drawer space, so we were able to tuck away our luggage and luxuriate in the sizable spaces without even a hint of clutter. (That's basically a miracle when you're traveling with kids.) It would have been a perfect stay as is, but the curated list of things to do in Santa Fe really ensured we had an amazing visit. We had a few ideas in mind, but arrived with a mostly-open schedule and open minds. Having a list of thoughtful suggestions made it so easy for us to pick a place to eat after a long day of exploring, and there wasn't a place that we visited that we wouldn't return to again. It took all of the guesswork out of the stay and not a moment of our trip was wasted. The city is easily navigable by car, but the prime location of the house allowed us to walk most places. We never wanted to leave! Hands down, this was our favorite and easiest family vacation.

I had the opportunity to spend one week at Eastern Star Retreat, this winter. It was the perfect setting for a white Christmas. We were eight: a senior citizen (me), two parents in their fifties, two college graduates and three children, ages 18, 15 and 8. We all had a blast! The home (authentic rustic New Mexico style, from the architecture to the furniture) had everything to please the whole group! Wifi, spacious living room with a superb entertainment center (huge flat-screen TV, movies (DVDs), books, electronic and board games). Fresh water/hot water was in abundance; the heated floors was one of the most appreciated features. Each of the three bedrooms (equipped with king-size beds) had its own bathrooms; extra clean Ralph Lauren linen was provided; the kitchen was fully equipped. Sipping my morning coffee while watching the sun rise was a bliss! The Retreat sits at the foot of the mountain, on Blueberry Hill, and enjoys a tremendous view of the mountains, not far away. Our young adults and children went skiing and snow-boarding everyday since the slopes were so close; the trip up to the ski resort was quite different from Squaw Valley or Heavenly (Tahoe): there were no lines of automobiles snailing up for miles on tortuous mountain roads, and no chains required! It took us 5-10 minutes to reach downtown Taos. What a nice little town, with quite a variety of cuisine: Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Texan, ... something good for every palate! Folks were very friendly and we all enjoyed our stay. We had a chance to talk with the owners of the Retreat before and after our stay. Great people, great customer services, indeed. I would certainly recommend Eastern Star Retreat to my friends and family. I have already made my reservation for this Summer and Winter.

Highly recommend this cabin just outside Red River. First, the pictures for this cabin on VRBO are true to the actual cabin. The cabin was neat, and clean. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen we have experience to date when compared to other cabins. More than enough dinnerware and utensil so you don't have to wash things up after every meal. The kitchen table is situated along a front window that faces a beautiful scene of trees and mountains. We sat on the front porch every morning and enjoyed the experience of trees , mountains and birds. In fact we liked the chairs so much we plan to buy some. Working with the owners was exceptional! They are very responsive and helpful. The check in process is also the best we've had. The location is an ideal jumping point for day hiking. We will most certainly book this cabin again when visiting the area and, again, highly recommend this property.

We have rented homes in Portland, Austin, Mexico, Chicago and many more places. This was by far one of my favorite home rentals! There is good reason why this home has such high ratings and such wonderful reviews! As soon as we pulled up, I smiled from ear to ear! Upon opening the front door, we were immediately impressed with the “slice of paradise” that we had found in Albuquerque and we were so happy that we had the WHOLE week to enjoy it! Every detail you can imagine had been thought of here! Michael was a wonderful and very gracious hostess. And if the gorgeous property was not enough to drop my socks, we were greeted with a bowl of freshly picked peaches & plums from the organic fruit trees that are growing on the property that Michael had picked for us that day! Yum! Yum! The layout of the home is perfect and the outside courtyard areas are simply amazing! There is the perfect outdoor spot for sun, fun & shade throughout the day. We loved our morning coffee time and our late night dinners or wine time outdoors. The location of the home is wonderful! Yes you can walk to breakfast or purchase all of your healthy grocery goods at the local co-op just a short distance from the home. We loved the close proximity to the walking/biking & running trails along the Rio Grande and enjoyed a long morning walk most every day of our stay! We would rent this home again! Do yourself a favor and stop looking at other properties because you have already found the perfect vacation home. This was truly a “slice of paradise” in Albuquerque. Casa La Huerta - The Orchard House.

We chose the Camino Loft for it's location in town but with parking and outside spaces. It did not disappoint! The loft was so spacious very bright and well equipped with high quality furnishings, bed linens and patio furniture. The Kitchen was well stocked with excellent quality glassware and Fiesta Ware. We were within a close walk to the Railway Yard where we shopped at the Farmers Market on Saturday and bought silver jewelry from artisans in tents along the tracks nearby. On Sundays the market has more artisans. We spent the first days getting used to the altitude by going to museums, the square to watch Native American dancers and shopping. We walked and left the car parked in the driveway. It was a great location. The rest of the time we drove an hour to hike at Bandelier National Park for two days then also did some local hikes. I would love to return another time to explore more and would happily stay at this beautiful condo. The hosts left very clear instructions and some snacks to boot. They are very gracious. Thanks for everything!

Nuestra experiencia en la cabaña de Eric en Ruidoso, Nuevo México, fue excelente. Excelente experiencia. La cabaña estaba hermosa, muy bien cuidada y con todas las comodidades; realmente no necesitas llevar nada porque todo está incluido. Eric fue un anfitrión excepcional, siempre atento y respondiendo de inmediato. Viajamos con nuestra bebé de 1 año y al llegar nos tenía una cuna con sábanas y una mesita para que pudiera desayunar, un detalle que apreciamos muchísimo. Las instrucciones de llegada fueron muy claras y sencillas. El clima dentro de la cabaña fue muy cómodo durante toda nuestra estancia. En general, todo estuvo excelente. Mi familia y yo disfrutamos muchísimo nuestra estadía, y gran parte de esa experiencia tan positiva fue gracias a la cabaña y a las atenciones de Eric. Al momento de la salida, las instrucciones también fueron muy claras y sencillas. Le agradecemos mucho a Eric y sin duda volveremos a quedarnos en esta cabaña muy pronto. Totalmente recomendo!!!

Loved staying here! Very peaceful neighborhood, the house was spotless and very organized! Amenities provided and overall had everything you needed to a quick stay. Tyler was very responsive, and checked in with us to make sure everything went smoothly. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Where do I begin? This was by far better than any hotel experience Ive ever had in my life. Truly a 5 star stay at such a great value. Sarahs attention to detail is unmatched. To say this location has everything would be an understatement. The place is extremely clean,updated , and tastefully decorated with such a modern and clean look. The place is beautiful! I would recommend this location to anyone inquiring as well as looking forward to booking her place whenever we come back to visit. The location is 5 minutes away from the freeway. 2 minutes away from multiple grocery stores, shopping malls as well as plenty of other places to explore and dine as well. Checking in was a breeze and it’s located in a perfect part of town for future visitors. Once again, thank you so much Sarah for having us. We will see you again if possible as I can definitely see this beautiful home being booked to the maximum in the future!
