My daughter & I went to NM for her Region 3 Gymnastics competition in Albuquerque. We wanted to stay outside of the city, but close enough to tourist attractions that we could easily experience: Old Town Alb., Santa Fe, local hiking, & horseback riding w/minimal travel. The home itself could not have had a better feel. We absolutely loved it. The advertised pictures are true to what you will find. We slept upstairs & the beds were very comfortable. It was extremely quiet (only 1 day that we could hear the wind) and very relaxing!! There were two neighbors 'nearby' but we never saw or heard them. We don't watch TV, so I can't speak to the available channels. We DID see the wild mustangs, right outside the front door, the morning we were heading out for my daughters meet - very cool.
***Just a few heads up: 1st - cell phone coverage is spotty (I have Verizon) 2nd - I live in a 'similar' topography in CO & am always driving 20 - 40 min to wherever I am going, so it was an easy/ expected commute for us to experience Albuquerque & surrounding areas. 3rd - the last 150 yds to the house IS dirt road that switchbacks up the hillside. Again this was just fine for us, because we too live on a hillside w/ a dirt road. However, I would caution that if you rent in the winter/snow months, know the final turn into the driveway is not for the faint of heart - especially if icey. Please don't let these FYI's discourage you - just be aware and manage your expectation. WE LOVED IT!!!
