The open kitchen was easy to work in and stocked with anything you could think. We particularly loved the outdoor backyard space including a nice hot tub and great views. Bedrooms had the most comfortable mattresses and pillows and, like the rest of the house, decorated beautifully. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked with every day items one might forget to pack.Nicolle was amazing! She was very thorough in explaining how the rental procedure works. was thoughtful and even grabbed a few groceries for us since we were arriving at midnight. She was available any time we had questions or wanted a recommendation.I've rented many vacation homes and the service and space of this home is top-notch! ##### Heidi R.

Host has decorated the interior and exterior like an interior designer. She had a welcome basket filled with snacks and had champagne and beer cooling. Fresh eggs from her hens and the best gourmet espresso coffee ever was provided. The backyard paradise had beautiful views of the Sandia mountains and the pond was so relaxing. Nicolle thought of everything and this was the most well stocked home. Hope to return soon! ##### Paula P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judy T.

Nicolle and Robert go to extreme lengths to give their guests everything they need, from reading glasses to first-class kitchen. All you need is your clothes and a swimsuit. We have not met a more gracious hostess anywhere. Eight of us were accommodated comfortably. The area is quiet and a real getaway hideout. ##### Judy T.

House was immaculate, and host was very accommodating. The only thing I wish was different was being allowed to feed the team during some down time in between games. Was told this wasn’t allowed however the house was plenty big enough to allow the girls to relax during their down time. Other than that, everything is 5 stars! ##### Chantelle H.

There is a reason that I keep staying at Nicolle and Robert's properties, they really are amazing! This home is beautiful. We especially loved sitting outside in the back listening to the relaxing sound of the fountain. The firepit was great, as are the heaters that are outside (if it's chilly). All of the rooms in this home are beautiful and so well equipped, you won't want for anything. We did not spend a lot of time inside, as the back yard area is so comfortable! We appreciated all of the little extra touches. Any issues or questions, Nicolle is just a text away and any issues are dealt with quickly. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, can't wait to stay again! ##### Sherry M.

The pre-trip communication from Nicole was great, so we were clear on expectations, but this property has so much going for it we were amazed. Plenty of beds for everyone, lots of space, and the backyard - with hot tub, waterfall, fire pit, bbq grill and views of mountains - was terrific. The gang agreed it was the best place we have stayed (and the bar for us is pretty high). I give it five stars, but would go to six if that rating were available. Nicole, thanks so much for making our 10th annual trip one to remember. ##### John B. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rakesh H. M.

Nicolle and Robert are quintessential hosts, available to assist at any time. A simple text and Nicolle would have response. Her recommendations for lunch/dinner places in ALBQ and Santa Fe were excellent. As to the property, the hot tub, the fireplace, and the backyard are amazing with the view of mountains and the famous air balloons--we caught one on a Saturday! We were two families and celebrated our daughter's birthday at this stunning place. ALL IN ALL A FIVE STAR PLACE. Thank you Nicolle and Robert. We will certainly return.

I rarely leave reviews, but our beautiful experience in this home was something exceptional, and I feel compelled to express my thoughts. First, the home itself is absolutely beautiful, the interior design was stunning, it is very clean, and all furniture and materials were nothing but the best. The beds were also very comfortable and the home well laid out for us. If that were all, then that would be enough to leave a great review. However, the property owners were just fantastic to work with. They paid attention to every detail of our stay. They had surprises and goodies for us that just made our arrival and stay exceptional. We really and truly appreciated the care extended for my family. The only thing I would want is to be able to get to come back soon. ##### Zachary C.

From the moment we arrived until the day of departure, this place exceeded all expectations. First and foremost, the location was perfect. The property offered a tranquil escape from the city while still being conveniently close to local attractions. The ambiance and breathtaking views provided for a very relaxing getaway. The highlight of this rental was undoubtedly the beautiful patio/portal, which was nothing short of a private oasis. Complete with the comfort of a hot tub, fire pit, and an abundance of comfortable seating, it was a perfect place to relax morning, noon and night. The attention to detail and cleanliness of the property reflected the utmost care and dedication of the owners. The interior was flawlessly organized, and we were delighted to find clear instructions for every amenity available. It made our stay effortless and stress-free, as everything we needed was at our fingertips. Moreover, the communication and support provided by the Nicolle and Robert was amazing. They were incredibly responsive, and their dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction truly elevated the experience and made us feel like cherished visitors. I wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone seeking an extraordinary escape. Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in this hidden gem—I guarantee you won't be disappointed. ##### Michael M. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katia C. Apr 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Special family gathering Our stay was absolutely amazing. We have stayed in a lot of different Vrbos and this was without doubt our best experience ever. The property is beautiful, clean, spacious, all of the needed amenities, etc, but what made this the best was the hospitality of the property owner. They left a thoughtful snack package for our family AND for our doggos. I knew I could call or text Nicolle with anything we needed or had questions about. I was absolutely THRILLED to learned that she has multiple Vrbos in the NM area, a place we frequently visit. There is no question that we will try to stay in her properties whenever we are in town. If you are on the fence when selecting between available rentals in NM, I hope this may help in your decision. I can’t imagine anyone ever being disappointed with the level of thought and care that Nicolle brings to her guests. It is evident that she truly loves providing this level of service to her guests and she cares about ensuring guests have the best experience while visiting. One specific example of her level of care, she not only left an amazing snack basket, but she also got in touch to make sure we didn’t have food allergies. Me and my adult children are all severely allergic to nuts and we were able to enjoy everything she left in the basket because she avoided those products. This is just one of many examples of the 5 Star level of hospitality provided. Our family will fondly remember this stay for a long time to come. ##### Katia C.
