Mountain house 18 minutes from ABQ airport
THE SPACE
Feel remote without being remote.
Desert Mountain Retreat sits on over 1 acre of land, backing up to wilderness with miles of hiking & wildlife, yet only minutes from services and other Albuquerque destinations. Our unique location - in the mouth of the Tijeras canyon dividing two alpine mountain ranges, yet right off I-40 that runs right through town - lets you have it both ways: A remote mountain house feel, yet minutes from the highway and everything in Albuquerque.
Inside are three distinct living spaces: In opposing sides of the home are the master suite & guest wing, creating space & privacy for those sharing the house. Both meet together in the large open floor plan common area with kitchen, dining area, craft cocktail bar setup, lounge, and living room area with a large TV, gas fireplace, and 180 degree views of the surrounding mountains. A full office, perfect for remote work, separates the two bedroom areas.
Outside are multiple sitting areas overlooking the mountains surrounding the house, including a fire pit (stocked with local piñon wood), patio with outdoor sofa chairs, and Adirondack chairs with a 70 mile view into the Rio Grande Valley. Catch a perfect New Mexican sunset, watch monsoon thunderstorms roll across the city below, or enjoy the stars in the dark night sky above.
*We offer a Hot Spring hot tub as well as an added service upon request (no fee), but due to water restrictions in the area and time it takes to drain & refill if necessary, we are not able to make it available for each stay. All requests for use are considered on a first-come basis, so we suggest contacting us as soon as possible to determine availability, as we cannot guarantee that the hot tub will be available unless confirmed prior.*
