Photos and Description of the Albuquerque vacation house rental
3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms

The Old Town house in the museum district is an authentic adobe, built c. 1902. A recent systems update adds modern comfort to the rustic Southwestern charm of this old territorial style house. Across the street from Tiguex Park, and about a block and a half from historic Old Town Plaza, the location is unmatched. Three bedrooms and two baths accommodate 6 (2 queen beds and 1 full bed). The en suite master bath features a claw foot tub, the second bedroom has a gas kiva fireplace, and soft lighting is achieved in all three bedrooms with chandeliers.

An open floor plan connects the living room and kitchen. All kitchen appliances are stainless. An adjoining sitting room (with its own kiva fireplace) allows views of the park through a side lit French door. The dining room seats 6 comfortably.

With original wood floors, beamed ceilings, and foot thick walls, this house evokes the romance of the Old West, and is a fantastic base for your Albuquerque adventures.

Location: New Mexico < USA

Nearest Airport : Albuquerque International at 10 Miles
Nearest Motorway : Rio Grande & I-40 at 1 Miles
Car: recommended

The house fronts Old Town Rd., a quiet street bordering Tiguex Park. The park is a place of towering cottonwoods, grassy fields, and a first rate playground. This is a walking neighborhood, with people out with strollers and dogs into the evening hours. Immediately across the park are several museums (Art and History, Science and Natural History, and Explora - the children's science museum). Excellent restaurants and interesting shopping are within leisurely walking distance. The Albuquerque Biological Park, including the zoo, aquarium and botanical gardens, is a short drive away.

Logistics are easy, with a short ride from the airport, a mile and a half to the train station and Convention Center, and about 1 hour to Santa Fe.

Albuquerque was recently ranked one of the five best cities in the U.S. to live in. The culture in the area is amazing and there is always something of interest going on. Come and enjoy!

Trip Advisor - Things to Do in Albuquerque: Duke City FIx: For a daily dose of Albuquerque pictures (as well as local commentary), see the Duke City Fix web site. Photos are posted on the Albuquerque Photo Gallery near the top of the DCF home page. People post new ones daily, and there are often spectacular shots of the Albuquerque scenery.

A Couple of Restaurants: Here are a couple of local restaurants of note (there are many other fabulous ones in Old Town, and throughout Albuquerque, but these are a couple of my favorites):

The St. Claire Winery and Bistro - great food, often live music, and local New Mexico wines. About a five minute drive (with traffic).

For those who are eating gluten free, try Paisano's. Yes, gluten free Italian, and it is wonderful.

Seasons - within walking distance - upscale, great food, good service

Ski:

According to Google Maps, Santa Fe Ski area is 1 hour and 2 minutes from the house. Closer to town is Sandia Peak Ski Area, about 45 minutes away. Some drive to the Sandia Peak Tramway in the Northeast Heights, and take the tram to and from the ski area.

Old Town Albuquerque

Review Submitted: January 3, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home.
The house was quaint, cozy and clean. It was a perfect way to spend Christmas with our two kids. The kitchen had all the key essentials. With two kids it was great to have access to a washer and dryer.
The location was perfect for us. We walked to the children's museum, the park across the street from us and to the restaurants.
If I had to point out anything it would be that it took a little while to figure out the heaters. Because we flew to Albuquerque it was hard to travel with blankets and pillows. I would have been nice to have extra blankets, pillows and maybe even a pack-n-play for our youngest.
I would highly recommend this property to friends and family.

Thanks for a great stay!
Owner's Response: Thanks for the great feedback! I am always happy to hear when people really enjoy their visit, and also appreciate specific information that points to ways to tune the house's set up for the most pleasurable experience. Thanks very much.

great stay

Review Submitted: November 16, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
This is a nice house walking distance of museums & Old Town shopping & restaurants. Its a quite neighbourhood with a park across the street. Having such a nice place to stay really made this trip for us. The house was everything that was advertised. We loved the idea of staying in a 100 year old adobe house. Having new bathrooms makes staying in an older house very nice. The property owner made the whole process very easy and provided suitable information. If we come back to Albuquerque we will plan our visit around the availability of this house.

Old Town House

Review Submitted: October 11, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
The GOOD:

1. Great location - across from the park, museums across from the park and walking distance to Old Town
2. Good room sizes
3. TV and wireless internet worked well
4. Good house for small children
5. A/C (swamp cooler) worked well

The BAD:

1. we had a bug problem as I killed numerous bugs inside the house
2. showerhead in master bath barely worked but we used the other shower with no problem
3. coffee grinder was advertised but was not found at the property

All in all our experience was OK at best. If the bug problem and shower in master could be fixed the house would be great!
Owner's Response: First, I very much appreciate the timely feedback.

I sincerely regret any inconvenience the issues listed above might have caused and will be addressing them immediately. Specifically:

With respect to pest control, I have a reputable pest control service that guaruntees their work, so I will be going back to them immediately for follow up and resolution.

With respect to the shower head, I'll be having the shower head assembly replaced directly.

With respect to the coffee grinder, there was a coffee grinder at the property, but it has apparently gone missing. Will source a new one shortly.

Sincerely,

Carol Prather

Wonderful Vacation Spot

Review Submitted: April 21, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
We had such a nice stay at this lovely unique Adobe home.
The house was comfortably decorated & very spacious.
We especially loved the park across the street since our Son & Grandaugher came down to visit for a couple days.
It was so relaxing just to be able to get up in the morning & sit out on the patio & enjoy the back yard with a cup of coffee or in the evening with a beer.
The house is in a perfect location & Old Town was easily within walking distance & we would walk into town every evening and try a different place to eat or shop.
We like to try different places to vacation & we would highly recommend staying at this home if you decide to go to New Mexico.

The Perfect House and Location

Review Submitted: April 25, 2010 Date of Stay: March 2010
We were fortunate enough to rent the house for 2 weeks, and, it was the best vacation ever--the home is so comfortable, and, has so much character. Location is perfect. We enjoyed excellent meals at Little Anitas, and, Church Street Cafe, both within walking distance. Had a great time shopping in Old Town, and, taking day trips to rock hound and sight see. And, always a joy to come home to "our" home. Thanks for sharing your home, Carol!
