**Pets … Dogs Only**
Discriminating canines are invited to accompany their humans to La Vista 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 La Vista 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 gate of La Vista 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.
La Vista 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 La Vista!

Amazing experience!
Our trip to Albuquerque started out as a solo trip for me to present at a conference and turned into a mini family reunion! I booked this house to accommodate everyone and it was the best decision. The house is exactly as it appears in the photographs, maybe even better. One of our favorite parts was watching the hot air balloons from the upstairs porch every morning while drinking coffee! Pictures of that can't do justice to the actual experience. The neighborhood is clean, quiet, and safe, and the house is close to stores, outdoor activities, and Old Town. I highly recommend staying here. You won't regret it.

Charming place with stunning views
The real thing was better than the photos. Stunning views of mountains and hot air balloons. Authentic southwest decor with firepit in back yard. Walking distance to Rio Grande nature trails and short drive to Old Town. Generous, helpful hosts left goody package and well-stocked pantry. We'd definitely go back to this place!

Great 2nd stay
We stayed for our daughter’s wedding this time. Our first stay was in June for planning the wedding and we loved it so much we came back. The hosts attention to detail is unmatched by any other property we have stayed at. I would describe it here but it would be a book. Suffice to say “if you need it they have it”. It’s the most beautifully decorated property ever and so many comfortable places to hang out. The views are magnificent as well. You Must stay here if you visit Albuquerque. Thanks Nicolle and Robert for another amazing stay.

Perfect home base for a visit to Albuquerque! Lovely large home with views of Sandia in nice neighborhood and excellent location. House is very comfortable and well equipped. Nicolle is a wonderful host!
Absolutely lovely property. Great location with the neighborhood being lovely and quiet. The house was so beautifully decorated and comfy offering a number of outdoor seating areas. The amenities far exceeded the listing. The hostess/host were so generous with their time, providing us with restaurant tips and general information. We had a wonderful honeymoon! We throughly enjoyed our accommodations, the food and culture of Albuquerque and surrounding areas of New Mexico.

Best VRBO ever
We have stayed in VRBOs all over and this, by far is the best. The owners were very available. The property was beautiful and so organized. If you need it, they have it. The beds were luxuriously comfortable. There were amazing views from upstairs and downstairs. If I could take Nicolle and Robert back home with me to decorate my house I would. We will definitely be back and if you don’t choose this property when you come to Albuquerque, you’re missing out.

Clean, but a mixed experience
The house is clean and comfortable, quiet neighborhood. However, communication with the owner was odd and overbearing. Welcome email included 6 pages of rules and instructions, followed by text messages/rules. House binder is 30+ pages of rules and instructions, including something called the ‘no futzing’ fee. The ‘pay it forward’ pantry is nice, but it needs purging (3 jars of opened peanut butter, several boxes of sugar, etc). Every surface is covered in stuff needing to be moved to put down your items.

Perfect for Christmas Holiday
We stayed for the Christmas and New Year holidays in this wonderful house and it was perfect for us. The space was great for my husband and I, as well as for our grown daughters and their partners. Everyone had space and everyone could congregate comfortably when together. The house does have EVERYTHING you could ever need, and if there is something you want/need Nicolle and Robert go out of their way to get it for you. We wanted a way to do a jigsaw puzzle and be able to work on it over the holiday an move it out of the way for meal times etc. Nicolle and Robert created a puzzle board for us that we could place on the table and move when we needed. Nicolle and Robert are great hosts with terrific recommendations and quick responses to inquiries. Communication was terrific, even when I had a question about billing at the end (turns out it was VRBOs unclear labeling that was at fault), Nicolle was very helpful and clear. They kindly fielded packages for us from relatives for Christmas presents (I felt bad cause there were more boxes than I anticipated!) and were quite gracious and patient about it all. They were also very generous with treats put in the house for us to enjoy and the pay-it-forward pantry is brilliant. Of course the view is LOVELY! If you want to be able to see sunsets, the great big sky, and the gorgeous Sandia's from you windows this is the place for you. I highly recommend this getaway and these hosts when heading to ABQ.
