About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Casa Z - with Private Pickle Ball Court

This beautifully kept 1940s home is nestled on a quiet street in the north valley. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on a lush one-acre property. If you are visiting at harvest time, you'll find plenty of apple trees, pear trees, and grape vines that you are free to enjoy, as you relax in one of the two outdoor patios under the shade of the many indigenous trees.

The gated property is completely fenced and set back from the road with plenty of space for parking, (including space for an RV). The backyard is spacious with grapevines, apple trees, a covered patio, and a private pickleball court.

The newly renovated kitchen is a gourmet cook's dream! The beautiful Talavera tile adds to the authenticity of the Territorial Style home. The open kitchen contains modern appliances and is fully stocked with everything you would need to enjoy a home-cooked meal.

Hardwood and brick floors abound throughout the two main living areas as well as all three bedrooms.

We work with a professional cleaning company that uses a
5 -Star cleaning system. The home is cleaned thoroughly between each reservation.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

Lovely property that reflects what makes Albuquerque special. There are a couple of quirks but those add to the charm. The outdoor spaces add to the pleasant experience my two friends and I had at Casa Z.

This was our second stay at Casa Z and we couldn’t be happier! In fact, since our visit in December they’d made a lot of updates to the property. The pickle ball court was resurfaced and repainted and they added a new sitting area adjacent to it. It’s the perfect spot for adults to sip a bevie while others play pickle ball. There’s even a small jungle gym/swingset on the other side of the court for younger kids. They’ve added white lights to the huge old cotton wood trees in the back, which looks magical at night. We Will definitely be back!

Gorgeous New Mexico Christmas!

Eight of us stayed in this beautiful property and we all loved it. The house is so cozy - it really feels like home. If you enjoy older homes and an antique vibe, this house is for you. It has positively everything you could possibly need. We cooked a big meal one night and it went off without a hitch. The sun room with the huge sectional was big enough for all of us to watch movies together and that sofa is SO comfortable that several people took naps there. My sister in law put together an entire puzzle that she found on the game shelf. Also, we weren't expecting the yard to be so large - it's enormous and the kids who visited had a blast running around. Plus we played pickleball and basketball and all of the sports equipment is on site for guest's use. The water temperature in the larger bathroom is temperamental but that's to be expected for a home built in 1937! My family and I can't wait to come back and stay again.

Fantastic house and fantastic location

I picked Casa Z because of it's perceived location, being more or less centrally located to everything I planned on doing with my family. Well it ended up surprising to the upside! House was PERFECTLY located, clean, spacious, and had a great lot. Worked perfectly for my family with kids and my parents. Highly recommend!

Family reunion and wedding in Albuquerque and Santa Fe

We had a fantastic time in the house. There was plenty of space for four adults--two singles and one couple--as there were two wings, a king bed in one, and two bedrooms with queen bed, each with a bathroom. We loved the kitchen, indoor living spaces, and outdoor sitting areas. The views were great, with grass and plenty of trees, and a view of the mountain in the distance. The host and property manager responded quickly when we needed something.

Casa Z Christmas Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Albuquerque. We spent Christmas in New Mexico, and this was the perfect “base” for going between family and activities. The house is so welcoming, so New Mexico, and just wonderful. We didn’t want to leave! The backyard is a great space, especially if you had younger kids would want to stretch their legs. Location is safe and easy to get to places. Host and property manager are quick to respond, give clear instructions and had everything ready for us. Even a Christmas tree!! We will look forward to staying again when we go back “home”. Sarah Wolfe & Family
