What an awesome place Casa La Huerta is !. The weather was super windy and colder than we had hoped, so we didn't get to sit outside as much as we had hoped, but it just made us appreciate it even more when we got perfect weather the day before we had to leave. Inside, everything was perfect, very clean, great towels and sheets, even provided plush blankets, and everything you could wish for in the kitchen. We will be back as often as we can to see the awesome landscaping in the Spring and early summer. The photos are great, but they don't even come close to showing how delightful everything is at The Orchard House. (yes, they have an Orchard that was in full bloom). ##### Deb J.

It had a well-appointed kitchen, and there was plenty of hot water for baths and showers. The bedrooms were roomy and the mattresses comfortable - a must or both of us. Clearly, great care has been taken to ensure that guests have everything they need. Perhaps most importantly, we were impressed (and relieved) by how peaceful and quiet the house and neighborhood were. Our host, Michael, greeted us upon arrival, walked us through, and shared the wonderful history of the property. The outdoor spaces were lovely, even in late February - it's easy to imagine how beautiful it will be when everything is in bloom. Overall, our experience at Casa la Huerta was delightful, and whenever we're back in town we won't hesitate to make it our home again. Thank you, Michael! ##### Nancy K.

It is <1 mile from The Rio Grande State Nature Center, Los Poblanos Inn/Spa, Flying Star Cafe attractions. The home itself is on a beautifully landscaped parcel with lots of outdoor features including a large covered patio with a retractable west facing sunshade. These spacious grounds are completely enclosed by an adobe-like wall with lockable gate. Outside this enclosure is a large secluded and lockable parking area that can accommodate an RV, trailers, kayaks, etc. along with an orchard. The house is an 1880’s era Adobe that has been doubled in size to make for a tastefully styled 2-br 1-bath home with all modern conveniences. It is amply cooled and heated with a mini-split ductless unit in each br and the LR. There are ample cooking and service pieces. Best of all the Host was promptly attentive to any and all requests.

We found the house to be so comfortable and cheerful - even a rainy day was bright due to the skylights and many windows. The house had everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchen, a work desk, and full-sized laundry. Everything was very clean, the water pressure was excellent in the shower, and the beds were very comfortable. The piece de resistance of the house is the garden. Boy oh boy, we spent a lot of our time just sitting in the chairs on the back patio, sipping iced beverages, and watching the bees dancing from flower to flower. At night the garden turns mysterious and alluring, and is the perfect way to ease down, relax, and cap off a day of hiking or museum hopping. The neighborhood is great and there is a wonderful cafe (Flying Star) a short walk away with a fantastic bookstore (Bookworks) right next door. The house was very convenient to I-40 and the airport and a short jaunt to Old Town. We would definitely come and stay here again in this beautiful slice of New Mexico. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dameon May 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### ABQ Getaway This was our second stay at Casa La Huerta, our home away from home.

This historic adobe home exceeded our expectations in every way, making it the perfect spot for our family of four to unwind and explore the beauty of New Mexico. The house itself is spacious, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with all the modern conveniences you could ask for. From a well-stocked kitchen with all the necessary utensils to a reliable washer and dryer and fast internet, everything was available to make our stay comfortable. The historic charm of the adobe walls blended seamlessly with the cozy interiors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The highlight of the property is the small orchard surrounding the home, bearing a variety of fruits like peach, apricot, and others local to New Mexico. Walking through the orchard each morning was a serene experience, and it added a unique charm to our stay. Michael, the owner, truly made this trip special. He personally greeted us upon arrival, gave us a thorough tour of the property, and shared invaluable local knowledge. His insights helped us discover hidden gems in the area and added a personal touch to our vacation. His warm hospitality made us feel right at home. Casa La Huerta's location is ideal for exploring New Mexico's diverse attractions, and at the end of each day, it was a joy to return to such a peaceful and comfortable retreat. We are already planning a return visit in the spring, when the orchard is likely to be in full b ##### Rajat D. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa B.

The property is large with a fantastic courtyard. There are security gates and it feels like a very private, secluded space. The decor is definitely New Mexico! Michael, the host, was helpful but not intrusive. We loved this stop! Not one complaint. Thank you for sharing! ##### Teresa B. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### April B.

The house was close to town but had a private feel to it. The bed was a little firmer than we like but it was still comfortable. We didn’t really cook, but it looked well equipped if people wanted to. We spent most of our time outside. ##### April B. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley M.

The house had everything we needed and more, very clean and in a nice quite neighborhood. We loved being 20-30 minutes away from the fiesta and 15 minutes from downtown/the zoo/breweries/the petroglyph national park. I even got to watch a few hot air balloons from the back porch while enjoying my coffee on the last day. We would stay again if we come back! ##### Ashley M.

Super cute outdoor area - wished we had longer to stay. Michael was a fantastic host - made sure we had everything we needed at check in and responsive when a question popped up. Highly recommend! ##### Tara D.
