Casa De Kokopelli
Brody's home was fantastic, super, excellent, etc. We felt right at home (except Brody has a hot tub). The home is charming, comfortable. All the furnishings were comfortable. Everything worked. We loved Brody's home. Brody is an excellent host. He contacted us prior to our stay and during our stay. His house rules book contains all the information a person needs to have an outstanding. His welcome gift was unexpected but deeply appreciated. Would definitely stay at Brody's in the future if the occasion arises. Thanks Brody for everything.

Private hot tub*Arcade* Spacious*No Cleaning Fees!
Billy's place was as described. Very easy instructions for entry and check out. All needed amenities were there and even extras. Accessible to freeway and good location for everywhere we wanted to go. The game room set up was a special enjoyment for my grandsons. Beds very comfortable, decor was eclectic and fun!! We very much enjoyed our stay!

Cedar Crest Lodge
Definitely one of the nicest AirBnBs we have stayed at. Very clean. Location wasn’t too far off the beaten path, but probably wouldn’t attempt in a car with low ground clearance. Lots of fun restaurants near by.

Hot Tub + Pool! Yucca Suite at The Desert Compass
The home and courtyard were beautiful. It's in the center of old town - which is not only governor for seeing the plaza - but is a breathtaking view at night! I highly recommend it!

Peaceful Boutique Casita Centrally Located
Amanda and Dan have an amazing location with a view that can’t be beat! It is peaceful and tranquil with all the amenities you might need. The bed is super comfy and the outdoor space is abundant. They provided a good balance of privacy and friendliness and are accommodating—going above and beyond to help even with an unusual request we had. Would absolutely recommend this property to others!

Hot Tub+Fire Pit+Patio VIEWS+Pet Friendly+Hiking!
Extremely clean, well-appointed unit. Has everything from doggy bowls and beds to coffee syrups and snacks.

Lilys Old Town Loft Casita
Fantastic location close to the old town. Beautiful loft studio with all amenities. Laundry room was really useful. David’s mum lives downstairs and is very friendly and helpful. Great stay!

Hot Tub+Fire Pit+Gated+Book For Balloon Fiesta
This place was very clean I loved it, you could tell linens were clean and fresh. I appreciate that very much traveling with my family. Stephanie was so kind. We loved casa sunshine 🌞

Hot Tub, 1bd/1ba, Nob Hill Home, King bed, W/D
Excellent spot close to almost everything. Wonderful hosts. Would definitely consider staying again.

Tucked-Away Casita w/Mountain Views & Fun Goats
Claire’s place was just right for my one night stay. It is clean, tidy, and well maintained. The space is laid out really well, and Claire has thought of so many helpful details. It seemed more spacious than the pictures showed. The area is peaceful, yet close to Albuquerque attractions, restaurants, etc. I enjoyed meeting the critters in the morning after a great night’s sleep. Hint: Be sure to take some of the “critter treats” provided with you when you search out the goats. :-)

Modern Casita in Historic Downtown Albuquerque
Karen’s place was the perfect spot for a few days in New Mexico! The space was cute, clean, cozy and had great amenities for travel (snacks, tea, bathroom products, etc). It was conveniently located and overall an amazing stay!

CASITA PALOMA 🌿 A private retreat in Nob Hill
I think this is my fifth time staying at Nicky’s place and it was great! Highly recommend for business travelers and anyone passing through ABQ who wants a safe, charming and relaxing place to stay :)

Empty Nest!
The place was very cozy and clean. The hosts went above and beyond, the location was great and we would definitely stay there again. We are used to a king size bed so the queen wasn’t as comfortable as we would’ve liked, but not a deal breaker.

Casita Agave. Luxury, secure and central location
Beautiful place, quiet, clean & all amenities of home. Very responsive, friendly & we definitely recommend this place to others traveling. We have family in the Albuquerque area & plan on staying again! Great find!!

Cozy Casita in Los Ranchos of Albuquerque
Really enjoyed staying at Michael's Casita. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, and the parking situation was perfect for our truck and 17ft trailer. The fenced side yard was immaculate and very inviting. Our dogs loved having the space to play while I enjoyed a glass of wine and the bistro lights. The bed was very comfortable and the house, while not modern, was clean and tidy and we had everything we could need. Michael even provided complimentary coffee for the morning. Streaming services were available too! We have stayed at pricier Airbnbs that didn't deliver on comfort in spite of the price. This one does! Would stay again.

Cozy Foothills Casita - Private, Safe & Secure!
My fiancé and I were traveling from the east coast towards the west. We stopped at the casita to rest and stay for the night. Andres was very responsive and friendly. Andres and Maura have a beautiful and cozy home to stay at. It was clean, we felt very safe staying in a state, city and neighborhood we had never stayed at before. 5 stars on everything. We would stay there again if we ever find ourselves traveling through the area.

Your guide to Albuquerque
All About Albuquerque
Albuquerque is one of New Mexico’s cultural hubs, a desert city steeped in the history of its Indigenous peoples and Spanish heritage. This rich heritage is exemplified in its local art and history museums, and through its Pueblo architecture with curved edges and earthen hues. As you wander the 18th-century Old Town, red brick walkways lead you to the Old Town Plaza, where the church of San Felipe de Neri towers above shops selling turquoise jewelry and artwork. You’ll also find cafes and restaurants serving New Mexican staples like chile rellenos, carne adovada, and plenty of green chili-flavored dishes.
Route 66 runs through the center of Albuquerque, dotted with bars and nightlife offerings casting a neon glow on the iconic highway. Just outside the city, the Sandia Foothills provide ample opportunities for hikes, and you may just spot mule deer, rabbits, and the occasional rattlesnake.
To cool off during the summer, you can paddle board along the mighty Rio Grande that runs through the city. Come winter, you’ll find skiing and snowboarding less than an hour away in the Sandia Mountains.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Albuquerque
With more than 300 days of sun throughout the year, bright days and blue skies are never in short supply here. The desert climate may imply constant heat, but seasonal weather conditions and temperatures can vary drastically. Albuquerque offers the Downtown Growers’ Market during the summer months, which can reach points of sweltering heat, but frequent afternoon showers — July through October is the rainiest time — help keep things comfortable. Winter conditions see temperatures often plummet to freezing. However, the area is relatively arid during this period, at least in the city. The surrounding mountains get inundated with snow during this time, providing excellent skiing opportunities.
The shoulder seasons in Albuquerque are popular due to mild temperatures for exploring the city and surrounding nature parks. Fall is a particular favorite for vacation rentals partly due to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in October. This nine-day event attracts nearly a million visitors and more than 500 hot-air balloon operators from around the world. The celebration includes twilight balloon runs, balloon competitions, chainsaw carving, vendors, street food, and fireworks.
Top things to do in Albuquerque
Petroglyph National Monument
This anthropological site on the edge of town is one of the continent’s largest petroglyph sites, with more than 25,000 basalt etchings dating back to nearly 2,000 B.C. Miles of trail systems cut through the stark and beautiful landscape filled with scrub brush and volcanic rock that is home to several species of lizards and snakes, and fields of wildflowers.
Albuquerque Museum
Located just off Route 66, the Albuquerque Museum focuses on the region’s unique style of art and storied history. Permanent exhibits showcase Indigenous art styles in the form of paintings and hanging sculptures. Photo galleries detail the region’s local history, peoples, and cultures.
La Luz Trail
For a strenuous adventure in the Sandia Mountains, the La Luz Trail is a popular challenge. The path runs less than nine miles with an elevation gain of 3,200 vertical feet. Along the way, you’ll be treated to dramatic views of the Albuquerque landscape, particularly at the end, where you can grab a bite with a panoramic view at 10,300 feet above sea level before taking a tram down the mountain.
