Discriminating canines are invited to accompany their humans to Casa de Encantador for a special doggie rate of $25 per pet per night ( max $100 per pet per Visit). We will do our best to ensure that you and your human have plenty to wag about!
As a good boy/girl, please make sure:
Your humans do not abandon you inside Casa de Encantador, while they go off and have fun. We can recommend doggie-camp options or companion visits to prevent this all-too-common tragedy.
Your human has been trained to take you to a proper outdoor location to complete your regular business in the dignified manner to which you are accustomed. And, that your human does the cleanup job for which they were so well designed.
Your human does not cause you to howl, bark, whimper, whine, and potentially face an embarrassing charge.
Your human remains leashed to you when anywhere outside the gates of Casa de Encantador , since you’re not allowed off leash and would never have gone unless coerced.
Your human pays for any damage s/he causes you to inflict, as usually happens at home.
Casa de Encantador welcomes you for an enjoyable bit of panting and wagging, and invites you to sniff for a special treat upon check-in. La Arf at Casa de Encantador !
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a furnished balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms.

Best experience!
This home was within the country club area in downtown Albuquerque close to Old Town with access to I 40 and I 25. It's a quiet neighborhood with lots of large trees which is hard to find in Albuquerque. We loved our stay here and had everything we needed. Super sweet hosts with excellent communication.

Adorable home
I loved staying here. The owner had thought of every convenience. The house was immaculately clean. It was charmingly decorated in southwestern style. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood and I felt safe there.it is a great neighborhood for walking. The owner welcomed me with a basket of snacks and a bottle of wine. The yard was a fun place to hang out with lots of patio furniture. I especially like the round dining room table with the chandelier above. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated. And of course, the kitchen was equipped with everything one would need. My son lives nearby and I hope to stay there every time I visit.

Charming and welcoming
This was a charming house with a super host. We entered the home to soft music playing and a basket of goodies awaiting us. The house was decorated with warmth and lots of personality. It was well equipped with everything we needed and much more. We loved that we had two king-sized beds. They made our sleeping much more comfortable. The backyard was so quaint and decorated with colorful seating. Overall, it was a very comfortable home for our 3-nights stay. The most amazing thing about our stay was our host, Nicolle. She was so welcoming, friendly, and helpful—way beyond our expectations. She guided us through Albuquerque like an expert concierge! She responded to all our questions quickly via text. By the end of the three days, I felt as if I had known her for a long time. She truly made an impression on me! We loved our stay! Thank you Nicolle!

Care and Comfort
My husband and I, along with our bichon, enyoyed 4 nights at Casa de Encantador. I knew right when I opened the door that we were going to be comfortable here. Open and airy, with a delightful collection of southwestern furniture, this was a place we could relax, accommodate to the higher elevation, and enjoy being in the older section of Albuquerque. And there wasn't a thing our host didn't think of and have ready for our stay. Just when I thought I'd have to make a trip to a drug store, I opened a drawer and there was a tube of toothpaste - no need to leave. Just time to relax and open the bottle of wine that was left for us along with the incredible blue corn chips with a delightful salsa. Syrup for pancakes? It was already there. Coffee and half and half - you got it, already there. The beds were comfortable, everything worked, and Nicolle left great instructions and restaurant recommendations. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when I'm in Albuquerque.
