UNM Graduation 25
Nicolle and her husband were amazing hosts. Went above and beyond to provide everything we could need to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of space for family and friends. Backyard is great for outdoor dining and relaxing. The bbq grills made cooking outside a lot of fun. Would definitely stay at this house again if we get the chance.

Great way to see ABQ/Santa Fe region
We are so grateful to have found this truly stunning home to make our home base in our New Mexico vacation. We got a call ahead of time to check in that the rooms would be set up to our specifications and to let us know a gift basket would be awaiting us. I was able to request it be nut free for our family, which was great. We arrived to find a beautiful and overly generous gift basket, wine, and even half and half for our coffee in the fridge. The home truly has everything you would need and was so welcoming.If I had any constructive feedback it would be that the Queen bedroom could use an additional curtain to block the light (all other rooms have heavy blackout curtains). I personally found the king beds that could transform to twin a bit lumpy, but I still slept well and everyone else in our group of 7 were quite comfy.Take the time to figure out how to use the fancy coffee machine for an indulgent wakeup coffee to enjoy outside with the view.We would 100% stay here again and try to spend more time at the house enjoying the beautiful space.

Absolutely incredible!
My famly of 4 (two teens) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous home. The open kitchen was easy to work in and stocked with anything you could think. We particularly loved the outdoor backyard space including a nice hot tub and great views. Bedrooms had the most comfortable mattresses and pillows and, like the rest of the house, decorated beautifully. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked with every day items one might forget to pack.Nicolle was amazing! She was very thorough in explaining how the rental procedure works. was thoughtful and even grabbed a few groceries for us since we were arriving at midnight. She was available any time we had questions or wanted a recommendation.I've rented many vacation homes and the service and space of this home is top-notch!

Absolutely amazing! Host has decorated the interior and exterior like an interior designer. She had a welcome basket filled with snacks and had champagne and beer cooling. Fresh eggs from her hens and the best gourmet espresso coffee ever was provided. The backyard paradise had beautiful views of the Sandia mountains and the pond was so relaxing.

Great Experience! Love the Attention to Detail!
I rarely leave reviews, but our beautiful experience in this home was something exceptional, and I feel compelled to express my thoughts. First, the home itself is absolutely beautiful, the interior design was stunning, it is very clean, and all furniture and materials were nothing but the best. The beds were also very comfortable and the home well laid out for us. If that were all, then that would be enough to leave a great review. However, the property owners were just fantastic to work with. They paid attention to every detail of our stay. They had surprises and goodies for us that just made our arrival and stay exceptional. We really and truly appreciated the care extended for my family. The only thing I would want is to be able to get to come back soon.

Beautiful, beautiful property!
There is a reason that I keep staying at Nicolle and Robert's properties, they really are amazing!
This home is beautiful. We especially loved sitting outside in the back listening to the relaxing sound of the fountain. The firepit was great, as are the heaters that are outside (if it's chilly).
All of the rooms in this home are beautiful and so well equipped, you won't want for anything. We did not spend a lot of time inside, as the back yard area is so comfortable! We appreciated all of the little extra touches.
Any issues or questions, Nicolle is just a text away and any issues are dealt with quickly.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, can't wait to stay again!
This is a beautiful property with all amenities--and then some--that one could imagine. Nicolle and Robert are quintessential hosts, available to assist at any time. A simple text and Nicolle would have response. Her recommendations for lunch/dinner places in ALBQ and Santa Fe were excellent.
As to the property, the hot tub, the fireplace, and the backyard are amazing with the view of mountains and the famous air balloons--we caught one on a Saturday! We were two families and celebrated our daughter's birthday at this stunning place.
ALL IN ALL A FIVE STAR PLACE.
Thank you Nicolle and Robert. We will certainly return. RM and family and KV and family.

Father Son Golf Trip (our 10th Annual)
We are four dads and sons who plan a golf trip every year to a different part of the U.S. We chose Albuquerque this year and our first reaction on arriving Wednesday evening was "Wow!" The pre-trip communication from Nicole was great, so we were clear on expectations, but this property has so much going for it we were amazed. Plenty of beds for everyone, lots of space, and the backyard - with hot tub, waterfall, fire pit, bbq grill and views of mountains - was terrific. The gang agreed it was the best place we have stayed (and the bar for us is pretty high). I give it five stars, but would go to six if that rating were available. Nicole, thanks so much for making our 10th annual trip one to remember.

A True Five Start Find and Unforgettable Experience
We recently had the pleasure of staying at the El Albergue del Pinon in Rio Rancho. From the moment we arrived until the day of departure, this place exceeded all expectations.
First and foremost, the location was perfect. The property offered a tranquil escape from the city while still being conveniently close to local attractions. The ambiance and breathtaking views provided for a very relaxing getaway.
The highlight of this rental was undoubtedly the beautiful patio/portal, which was nothing short of a private oasis. Complete with the comfort of a hot tub, fire pit, and an abundance of comfortable seating, it was a perfect place to relax morning, noon and night.
The attention to detail and cleanliness of the property reflected the utmost care and dedication of the owners. The interior was flawlessly organized, and we were delighted to find clear instructions for every amenity available. It made our stay effortless and stress-free, as everything we needed was at our fingertips.
Moreover, the communication and support provided by the Nicolle and Robert was amazing. They were incredibly responsive, and their dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction truly elevated the experience and made us feel like cherished visitors.
I wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone seeking an extraordinary escape. Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in this hidden gem—I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
