About this property

CASA SANDIA PEAK. Unobstructed Mountain/Tram Views. Serenity-Wildlife-Pets OK.

Enjoy this cozy, 2 bedroom Sandia Heights home. On corner lot, with quiet and tranquil surroundings. Experience the serenity of the natural, high desert landscape; and appreciate the wildlife that visits you from the nearby arroyo. This property has Southwestern solitude, yet the amenities of a metropolitan city, and Albuquerque's diverse culture. From the comfort of your living room's leather recliners, you can view the Sandia Mountains; and see the entire length of the world's longest Tram. Or use the telescope or binoculars for stargazing or birdwatching. Experience the 'watermelon' sunset hues, while grilling and dining on the outdoor patio. Spend time on the swing with your children/grandchildren (when they are not enjoying the nearby playground and park). Or just relax with a margarita or cerveza.

You will be 5 minutes from the Sandia Peak Tram, and 10 minutes from the Sandia Resort & Casino (golf, dining, gambling, dancing, entertainment). The Tram is easy access to the 'back side' of Sandia Peak, for winter skiing and summer mountain biking. Sandia Heights is an epicenter for 'outdoor' living. Extensive biking/jogging/blading trail just steps away, with 2 BICYCLES and HELMETS PROVIDED (can provide additional bikes if needed). Property sits in middle of a hiker's paradise, with some of the favorite trails 5-10 minutes from your doorstep (La Luz Trail, Tramway Loop, Elena Gallegos Nature Trail, Pino, Domingo Baca, and Piedra Lisa Canyon). Ample library of maps and guide books furnished for your use.

Decorated in local color and Native art, this is a perfect spot for creativity, writing, or just relaxing with family. Located in the Sandia foothills just South of Paseo Del Norte and East of Tramway Blvd.

Wonderful home

This was my second time to stay is this beautiful home. Well decorated inside and well supplied with everything one would need for a short or extended stay. Major improvements since my first stay including a renovated master bath and motion activated lights outdoors which help when taking a pet outside at night. By far the nicest home I have stayed in and hope to be coming back for years to come.

The Best!!

We love Casa Sandia Peak! Beverly is a wonderful host and checked in more than once to see if we needed anything. The view is spectacular! The wildlife is amazing (hummingbirds, deer, quail, road runners). The kitchen had everything we needed for a family dinner and morning coffee in the swing is not to be missed! It’s incredibly quiet and peaceful and still close to town.

Unforgettable Month

We were greeted upon arrival by our awesome hosts, Beverly & Phil, with delicious snacks, jalapeño margaritas and other local goodies. Beverly showed us how things work in the house as well as area information and recommendations. Casa Sandia Peak is a comfortable home with all the amenities and breath taking views. The location on the arroyo is quiet and private. There are plenty of places to walk right out the back or front door, perfect if your dog has accompanied you. We felt so at home here it was hard to leave. We definitely plan to come back to this wonderful place!

Perfect location with daily visits from mule deer, roadrunners, coyote. Unhindered views of the beautiful Sandias. Very comfortable beds. Well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms.

The perfect choice for 1 or 2 couples

First of all, the hosts were the best we've experienced in all of our VRBO stays. We were met upon arrival and shown all the ins and outs of the property. The home was very well stocked with the necessities; coffee, tp, paper towels, etc plus a sampling of local treats. Very generous. There were more than enough reading materials to acquaint a visitor to both Albuquerque and New Mexico overall. We found many things to entertain us that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. The hosts went well above and beyond to make sure we had a good vacation. Possibly the biggest treat though was the entertainment furnished by all of the animals visiting the back yard. Rabbits arrived early, usually followed by deer, followed by birds. We had as many as 15 deer in the yard at once and they visited every day. Special sightings were a Coopers Hawk, who scared everything else away, but sat in a tree for 90 minutes. It must have been napping. On Thanksgiving morning, a lynx, I guess locally called a bobcat came and sat at the edge of the deck for a bit. Roadrunners and quails passed through every few days. Casa Sandia Peak comes with our highest recommendation, and we wouldn't hesitate to spend our next visit to Albuquerque there.

We had a wonderful stay. Beverly is the certainly the “host with the most!” The home alone is perfectly situated for an outstanding experience. The view is beautiful and encourages relaxation time outdoors. The rooms were very comfortable and the whole house is very livable. Beverly added to this by having great drinks pre-made for our arrival plus chips and homemade guacamole! Thanks for a great trip!

Another Fantastic Stay!

This is our second time to stay at the Abshere's VRBO in Albuquerque and it was great both times. I can't say enough good things about this home and the hosts. The home is in a great location: close to hike/bike paths, grocery stores (Albertson's and Smiths), restaurants, the Balloon Fiesta and other attractions. The home itself is nicely furnished and decorated, is well equipped and has amazing views of Sandia Peak and the tramway. We enjoyed the daily visits from the mule deer and birds in the back yard. Beverly is also a fantastic hostess; she makes you feel at home and has many great suggestions on things to do and places to see. We've also stayed at their VRBO in Palo Duro Canyon, which I highly recommend, too. Their VRBOs are exceptional and I've yet to stay in another VRBO that measures up to this. HIGHLY recommend!!

Home in Sandia Heights

My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in the home. It was very comfortable and home was equipped with lots of kitchen items and household items. I didn’t have to bring anything from my home. The owner met us at the home to show me a few things. Home located in a quiet neighborhood. There is a bike/walking path right outside of the neighborhood as well as beautiful trails not far from home. Owner has lots of information/maps in the home and I enjoyed reading through the beautiful books they have on the state of New Mexico. The backyard has a gorgeous view of the Sandia Mountains. The backyard isn’t fenced and has a desert style landscape. Deer came by to visit each morning and evening. Great stay overall and I would love to stay again! Thank you Beverly & Phil.

Bev was great…greeted us with food and wine and made sure we knew what was important during our stay there.
