The hosts, Dawn and Joe, have created a piece of heaven on earth. The property was calm and peaceful. The hosts were on site, but not obtrusive, always ready to make a recommendation or tend to our needs. If you get a chance, sign up for one of the spa services from Dawn, she is amazing!

Comfortable and Beautiful Casita

We just left the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta where we stayed in a beautiful casita on a beautiful property with very gracious hosts. They have thought of everything to make for a wonderful stay. Close to the fiesta and the park and ride. Can't think of a reason to stay in a hotel when you can stay here. Thanks so much!
