Cute Home Along Turquoise Trail Nestled in Sandia Mountains

We stayed 3 nights (Thur, Fri, Sat). We thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub. It was great to have a house with lots of room for the 3 kids and 3 adults. We even brought our dog, who enjoyed the fenced in yard. We enjoyed breakfast in the morning at the dining room table, and we made some good dinners. The location was great too -- close to ABQ (to ride the tram) and the ski resort (for sledding). Overall, great visit.

My husband and I took a much needed weekend away from the kids to spend some quality time together. We were hoping for a quiet couple of days, but what we enjoyed was that and so much more! This home is beautifully kept, squeaky clean and the homey ambiance just embraced us from the moment we arrived. The views of the night sky from the hot tub were incredible! The variety of books and movies is great, there is nothing like relaxing by the fire with a book or enjoying a good movie. Why spend money on a bed and breakfast, or a hotel when you can have more privacy with all the amenities at Tony's for the same price? Definitely a do-over for us!

Our family felt very comfortable and welcome in this home during our stay in spring 2011. The large, warm kitchen is well-equipped with thoughtful touches such as basic spices available for use in recipes. Star gazing from the hot tub on the private deck at night is a great way to end the day. For runners, the roads surrounding the property form a nearly perfect one-mile loop, and at 7,000 plus feet, is a challenge for those accustomed to lower elevations. Beautiful scenery, private and situated in a friendly mountain community just minutes from all the amenities of the nearby city of Albuquerque. Very comfortable for our family of three adults and a dog. The owner is local and quickly responds to any inquiries. He has stocked the home with an assortment of local guides and periodicals for familiarizing oneself with sites of interest and various events scheduled in the area.

My wife and I stayed for over a week and had another couple there for a weekend. The cabin is nice, quiet and relaxing. The area is beautiful and is close to Albuquerque sante fe and the east mountains. The owner is pleasant and helpful. We would certainly go again.

My family had been planning a vacation to the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area for about six months and after pricing hotels in the area decided to look for a vacation rental. We located this house in the perfect location at a rate LOWER than reasonable hotels for the four adults and two children. The house was extremely clean upon arrival and is larger than it appears in the photographs for a two bedroom house. The kitchen is stocked with spices, cooking utensils and dishes. One night we had a group of 10 adults together for dinner with plenty of space remaining. There were plenty of linens for those staying in the house and comfortable living areas. The memory foam bed was awesome. A significant library and movie collection let us relax indoors when we wanted to. We grilled outside several nights under the stars and took advantage of the hot tub once it cooled down. We drove daily to Moriarty which is about 30 miles east. Going into Albuquerque is a quick 15 mile drive west to near Kirtland AFB where there are plenty of restaurants and shopping opportunities. For the more ecelctic, try going to Madrid for lunch and turqoise hunting - about 30 miles north.

We loved the house --- loved the hot tub ---- The owner was willing to help in any way to make our stay a good one --- the house and area was a nice retreat from the heat --- temperature dropped at least 10 degrees just going up the mountain --- we sat outside every morning to have our coffee --- the nights where always cool and relaxing and perfect for the hot tub ---- GLAD I found this one!!!!

My husband and our 2 Beagles stayed in this charming house for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is great! Just a short drive back down I-40 to Albuquerque and also a short drive north to Santa Fe. Lots of tourist attractions in Albuquerque. Really enjoyed the Unser racing museum and the archaeological museum which is very near the house. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard. All the amenities were great - kitchen, deck, hot tub, outdoor grill - and the beds were very comfy. Lots of golf courses to choose from. Not much on the TV as no cable or satellite but plenty of reading material and DVDs. We hope to return again next summer!

We would rent this house again. My wife, child, and our three dogs had a very comfortable stay. The owner was very easy to communicate with and proactive in warning us of a snow storm expected on the day of our arrival, advising us to get there a couple of hours earlier so we could get there and unload our stuff before the bad weather hit. He even lit the fireplace and got it all warm and cozy just before we arrived. The place is about a 5 minute drive from NM-536, which leads to the Sandia Park Ski Area, and about 5 minutes the other direction to groceries, restaurants, bars, shopping. The photos are accurate. The place was very clean and well-mantained. I recommend this rental.

This was a great location, we used it as a launching pad for day trips all over central and northern New Mexico. We loved the scenery, the energy and the warm cozy fires as we watched it snow. We relaxed in the hot tub, built a few puzzles, played a few games and ate at Cedar Crust pizza (we managed to go on a night that Jimbo was playing it was awesome if you like classic rock). The beds were comfy and we had enough linens and cooking ware - it was just like being in our home - plus the natural beauty. We even had a person who was in our group who was worried about being away from "a city" - she was glad that it only took 11 minutes to get to the nearest Starbucks! Would stay here again and again!
