Lots of Room and Beautiful
This house has space to spare and has everything you need, just like being at home. The host's extra touches made the stay extra special. The location is quiet and private and the views are beautiful. The road is narrow and gravelly on the final stretch to the house, but it is worth the drive into the location.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is hands down the best equipped home we've visited. Evenings and mornings on the back porch made the start and end of our days here special. Yes, we'd book again.

Home away from home!
What a great experience! Plenty of communication from owner and property managers. The house was so clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. When we arrived, there were some groceries in the fridge, coffee & K-cups, etc. which saved us a trip to the store. We were concerned about the crime rate of Albuquerque, so decided to stay a little ways away from the city. This house is so safe. The area is 100% residential, but it is a great starting place to go to anything you want to do. Our longest day away was to go to Arizona to the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert National Park (about 3.5 hours away). But all the NM National Parks & Monuments were within an hour and a half. We did not see everything we wanted to see, but this will definitely be the place we stay when we return!!! Thanks for the great home!

Short & Sweet Stay
This was our 4th stay here, as we use it as our 1/2-way point on our trip to Colorado each Summer (going & coming). It's been a great 'pit stop' for us to recharge, and we're able to park our 18-ft dirt-bike & ATV trailer we haul behind our Tahoe in the driveway, which is a must for us based on why we're traveling. It does take a bit of maneuvering but does work for that purpose. The neighbor across the street has always been such a help, to welcoming us, to getting us settled inside, and on this trip he showed us the 'swamp cooler' he added to the master bedroom, and also brought us bagels for the following morning's breakfast. So nice. This house does also have an a/c unit in the main living area. It was August, and it was a very hot day, so both of these helped cool the home. Again, a plus based on rentals we've used in both Colorado and New Mexico. There are limited restaurants in town, so FYI, if you're like us and depend on eating out on short stays. We enjoy Ribs BBQ, but they're only open Thur-Sun. We're thankful to call this our home away from home on our travels, and will definitely book again next year.

Nice house
Coming in to the neighborhood was a bit concerning but this rental is lovely. It is clean and very well stocked. I gave it a 4 star rating because the listing led me to believe the house was air conditioned. In reality, just the living room has it. There is a fan in each bedroom but you would be wise to bring an additional one for each room. It cooled off at night and it was barely tolerable for this old lady who is used to sleeping in a refrigerator as my husband calls it at night

Wonderful place!
We were not expecting such a welcoming space with wonderful, friendly property managers. The view was peaceful and beautiful. The property managers really set up the place to be very welcoming and cozy. The game room was great with an air hockey table. They had puzzles, board games and dvds providing many ways to to hangout and just relax. If we’re ever out this way again, we would definitely stay here again! Thanks again for everything!

Located just right
We were in the area for a reunion of sorts. The host's house and a nice restaurant we used were just a few miles away. This was far more convenient than commuting back and forth from Abq. The house was darling. 3 bedrooms, a big couch at the TV and kitchen/dining area all worked very well. It's a bit of a zig and a zag or 2 to work through the neighborhood, but everyone found it via Google maps.

We were in the area for my youngest son's wedding, this was the most beautiful area and view from the house that I could ever ask for. The house was amazing, and has lots of room as my husband and adult boys with their wives were with us. The only thing I have a negative of the property is I don't know if we would be able to stay in the dead of summer, there is only AC in the living room. There are fans in the bedroom, which helps out a lot.

Great quiet place so close to ABQ without will the people and traffic.
It is a lovely property. Interesting art and all the comforts of home. They have fun games, air hockey table, indoor snowball fight, and comfy place for a movie night. Multiple decks and a covered patio. Parking for 4 vehicles. The doggies loved the open space. No fenced yard. There are a lot of steps down to the house and so might not be accessible to anyone with mobility issues. Beautiful views, blue skies and sunsets. Owner and caretaker were great to communicate with and very helpful.

Perfect rest stop
My family and I stopped here as a halfway point while we moved to Utah and we had a great experience! I travelled with 6 people both a cat and a dog. We all fit comfortably! It’s about 20-30 minutes out from food sources so I’d suggest stopping ahead of time and bringing extra groceries of eating prior to. The house feels a bit hot throughout the day, but it cools down so much at night that it’s pretty comfortable with the fans provided. If you have a large vehicle like we did you’ll need to park alongside the edge of the road, but the property manager across the street was really helpful in guiding us through it! I’d definitely recommend this hidden gem!

Great place
There's little need to go to the groceries store for this place. One thing a lot of Vrbo properties lack is all the cooking essentials like olive oil or a variety of seasonings. This place keeps the kitchen ready to go! All you need is the produce. All the directions for check-in and check-out were very clear. I will warn any other families who keep their personal homes a cool 68 like we do that the wall unit does not reach the bedrooms. It took our family some getting used to. My only complaint is that we didn't get the extra day we wanted. I forgot to book the extra day we wanted when going through the initial booking process. I reached out as soon as I realized and we were informed the day was open so we went through Vrbo to request that day. After three days of waiting for approval for that day someone else booked it. We would have like to have had the extra day and time in the location to do some more exploring, but life happens and we still ended up having a great time. Next year I won't forget to book the extra day.

Great Get-away
We truly enjoyed our (brief) stays at Sandia Knolls. It was our pit-stop (2X) on our trip between TX and CO, and it was everything we needed, and more. We wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the area and the property, but it was a quick in/out for us both going and coming. It's a great area, and was easy to access. We wanted a rental outside of ABQ (as we had theft attempts for our motorcycles and ATV we trailer on a few previous occasions), and we felt very safe and off the beaten path at Sandia Knolls. The home had all we could want - charming, comfortable, clean, and the listing was accurate in describing what we could expect. We found great BBQ about a 10-minute drive, as well as a grocery and gas station, which was really all we needed during this short stay. The home comfortably slept my wife, and 2 adult sons, and our two pups. That's the only negative I would alert travelers with pets, is there is quite a bit of difficult terrain/landscape in NM (not unique to this property...everywhere), so you need to be prepared to remove stickers and burrs from your pet's paws and coat, and not advised to let them roam freely. But as far as Sandia Knolls, we'd re-book in a heartbeat, and were thankful for this lovely home to stop-over in. Hope to be back next Summer on our annual trip to CO.

Quiet Mountain Retreat
Spacious home tucked away up in the mountains, I would recommend this vacation getaway. The owners provide just about everything you need, which is not always the case with other homes I've stayed in. It's a bit out of the way with lots of small windy roads leading you there, but that's exactly what we were looking for. There was a little snag with getting the check-in details in advance, but the owner was incredibly responsive, and everything was taken care of in time for arrival. I would definitely stay here again.

The caretakes, who are very nice, live close bye and if there are any problems they are right there to help you however we had no problems. Everything about this house is first rate and I would highly recommend it.
