Adobe Compound for 11 with Sauna, Fire Pit, 2 Kitchens near Balloon Fiesta Park
Bring the whole crew to a true New Mexican adobe compound in Albuquerque's quiet North Valley. Two connected homes, two kitchens, two full bathrooms, and room for 11: a 2-bedroom main house with kiva fireplace, infrared sauna and sunroom, plus a private casita with a king loft and its own entrance. Gather at the fire pit under the stars, grill on the patio, and wake up to horses and cottonwoods.
THE MAIN HOUSE (sleeps 7) A true pueblo-style adobe with white adobe walls, viga ceilings, brick floors, skylights and a kiva fireplace. Two queen bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the house for privacy, plus a cozy bunk room (twin over full). The eat-in kitchen is fully stocked for cooking for a crowd, with an island that seats 2 and a dining table for 6. Full washer and dryer. Step into the sunroom for the infrared sauna, a guest favorite in every season.
THE CASITA (sleeps 4) Attached to the main house with its own private entrance: a lofted king bedroom with sunrise views of the Sandia Mountains, a twin chaise in the loft, a living room with a pull-out sofa, a wood-burning fireplace, a kitchenette, and its own full bathroom with a soaking tub. Cooled by a ductless mini-split.
OUTDOORS A fenced backyard full of fruit trees and blooming vines, a gas grill, a patio table that seats 8, a second dining patio off the kitchen, and a fire pit ringed with wicker chairs for stargazing. Chickens next door, horses down the road, and quiet North Valley nights.
LOCATION Minutes to Balloon Fiesta Park, Los Poblanos, El Pinto, and the Rail Runner station for an easy day trip to Santa Fe. About 20 minutes to Old Town and downtown, and close to the Sandia Peak Tramway.
BEDS Main house: 2 queen beds, 1 bunk (twin over full) Casita: 1 king bed, 1 twin chaise, 1 sofa bed
GOOD TO KNOW The main house is cooled by an evaporative (swamp) cooler, so it stays comfortable but is not ice-cold in peak summer. Fans are provided. Dogs are welcome (pet fee applies). Exterior Ring doorbell camera at the entrance only.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

We really enjoyed our time together there for thanksgiving weekend!! With 3 families all together and plenty of elbow room!! Large house with plenty of room, comfortable beds. Well appointed kitchens! It’s a quiet country home!
We enjoyed the outside patio and chimenea!
Very nice accommodations that was large enough for our family gathering celebrating a milestone birthday. Unfortunately, we did have some intrusive neighbors that prevented us from enjoying the outdoor seating in the early evening.
