Photos and Description of the Albuquerque vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 8)

We call our house Cristalera, which means window in Spanish, because our favorite feature of the house is the windows, which afford 360 degree view of the mountains, city and beautiful desert landscape. A trip to New Mexico can be as active or as relaxing, as adult-oriented or as family friendly as you choose. Our house accommodates families (including larger families) or multiple couples with four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. We have three queen beds and a king bed in the master bedroom. The master bath has a large jetted tub. With 2750 square feet indoors, plus plenty of outdoor living space there is plenty of room to relax.

Our house is surrounded by private courtyards and natural, southwestern landscaping. The covered back deck has an outdoor fireplace. In addition to the comfortable living room, there is a family room with a wii game console and dvd player. Both living room and family room have direct tv. There is high speed wireless Internet service in the house as well. The fully stocked kitchen is handy either for cooking meals or just snacks. Eight people can eat in the breakfast room or eat outside on the covered deck. You will be sure to see rabbits, road runners, hummingbirds, quail and lizards in the yard. We often see deer. For your convenience, there is a full size washer and dryer. Your vehicle will fit in our two car garage or in the spacious driveway.

Cristalera is located in a quiet, secluded residential area in the foothills of the Sandia mountains. The house is a five minute drive from the Sandia Tramway and from numerous hiking and biking trails. It is a fifteen minute drive to the historic and cultural offerings of downtown Albuquerque and a twenty minute drive to the University of New Mexico. Cristalera is a 25 minute drive from the Sunport international airport in Albuquerque. Santa Fe is an hour drive.A variety of supermarkets, pharmacies, department stores and restaurants are only a few minutes’ drive away (including Trader Joes, Target, Albertsons, CVS, Barnes and Noble, Starbucks)

Please consult our webiste and blogs (links below) for a comprehensive list of things to do in Albuquerque and nearby. We have found a plethora of activities for sports enthusiasts (hiking, biking, golf, skiing, horseback riding), adults (wineries, casinos, art galleries, shopping, sightseeing, fine and casual dining) and families (zoo, aquarium, small amusement park, childrens museum, petroglyphs, national parks and monuments).

Why The Owner chose Albuquerque

Someday we will retire to Albuquerque. Until then we eagerly await the visits we make to New Mexico a few times every year. After our first family vacation to New Mexico in 2009, we found that we couldn’t stop dreaming about returning and kept planning return visits. We love the climate and the natural beauty of New Mexico, the delicious local food and the amazing history and culture of the area. We have yet to meet anyone in New Mexico who isn’t friendly and welcoming. There is so much to do. Every time we visit Albuquerque, we come home with a longer list of places to see and things to do on our next visit.

What makes this house unique

Cristalera is located in the peaceful and quiet residential area in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. We are enthralled by the beautiful views that surround the house and thrilled by the regular visits of local wildlife. The house has plenty of space to relax, indoors and outdoors, and has comfortable bedrooms and a convenient and pretty eating area. I love to look out the back window while cooking at bunnies and birds in the backyard and the city below. On a recent Fourth of July, I had the unique experience of sitting on the back deck in the evening and looking down on the celebratory fireworks exploding in the city.

Great Memories Made (Balloon Fiesta 2012)

5 of 5
Submitted: November 11, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
What a beautiful home! Way more than we expected. Well maintained and very spacious. Was very comfortable for 1 couple and 3 singles. Everyone had their own space. Close to Balloon Fiesta, tram, restaurants and shopping. Views were panoramic - especially enjoyed our morning coffee out on the back patio overlooking the city and the balloons. Weather was fantastic - dryness was great after coming from Midwest humidity. Sunshine everyday! Great time had by all!

Thank you, Cathy and Greg, for opening up your home to us. We appreciate you being available for our questions and your prompt responses. We look forward to staying here again on our future trips to beautiful New Mexico.

Ballon Fiesta in Sandia Heights

4 of 5
Submitted: October 21, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
This is a well maintained, spotless home in a fabulous neighborhood. The owners are incredibly nice and very helpful. It is a perfect location if you are in town for the balloon fiesta with very easy access to one of the shuttle bus locations. We felt that given the location, and the niceness of the house, there are some changes that should be made. All of the bedding and towels should be upgraded. The sheets are old and rough. The towels are tired. The beds themselves are not particularly new or high end. There are no bed frames and very few chairs or other furniture items in any of the bedrooms. The bedroom walls are bare. The whole place is a bit more spare than the neighborhood and the house deserve. The pots and pans are inexpensive and warped. Only one of them sits flat on the stovetop making even simple cooking tasks difficult (like frying an egg). Though we would love to come back, we'd want to know that these items had been upgraded first.

Great family reunion!

Excellent house! Great views! Well stocked kitchen!
Clean and well-maintained, just like the photos!
We loved the patios.
The house provided lots of scenic backgrounds for a family photo shoot: turquoise gates, mountain backgrounds,wooded benches and tall yuccas. The pictures turned out great!
My elderly mother would have appreciated a full bathroom downstairs.
The bedrooms sure could use a chair to sit on.

Beautiful Home with Breathtaking Views

5 of 5
Submitted: December 8, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
Very comfortable house - large, clean, and well-stocked. It looks great in pictures, but honestly better in person. Good-sized bedrooms, two separate living rooms and a large kitchen make this a great house for groups. Also, the views are wonderful. My family had a great time and we look forward to staying there again. Thanks, Greg!
