Placitas · 整套民居 · 2室2床2.0卫 · 可住4人 · Perfect Placitas adobe country home
Set in beautiful Placitas a wonderful mix of country and city. Just minutes from I-25 with easy and fast access to Albuquerque or Santa Fe. Gorgeous national forest hiking trails right down the hill. My home is set in the historic village of Placitas on a tiny dirt road. You can see the stars at night and the location is very quiet. It's the best of both worlds, country roads, hiking trails and fast city access. Lovely restaurants and a wonderful local grocery store down the hill. The house has two bedrooms with great comfy mattresses, two full bathrooms, a front load w/d and three flat screen TV's. It should be noted while you see a staircase in the pics the upstairs is actually closed off. Everything is on the ground floor with only two small steps between the kitchen and the front entryway. The decor is country in feel with international folk art decor. Since the house is built of natural adobe the walls and feel of the house are truly old world. The house is set in the historic village of Placitas which was settled over 150 years ago. Thus it feels very European. The house has everything you need, even a wonderful vintage cast iron tub for relaxation. Coupled with modern conveniences such as a convection stove, front load washer and dryer, a Vivint security system and a great cooling system it has all the modern conveniences.
The home and surroundings were beautiful. However, there was an obvious rodent problem in the house that seemed to be known prior to our arrival. When we mentioned the smell, we were told that the last guests didn't notice anything. While we were told that pest control companies had been contacted, and while we understand that this is not a quick fix, we should not have been made to feel as if we were unreasonable for not wanting to pay for nights in a home that smelled like a deceased rodent. The person sent to "fix" the problem was not qualified to fix it, and another person who was only a tenant (not a professional) of the owner's other property was sent to the listing to "take a look". Unfortunately, the time and stress that it took to stay in this listing for 3 nights and find a new place to stay with a young child during Thanksgiving week made the experience quite negative. We were ultimately refunded when we requested it, which we do appreciate.
I have to say Ellen’s home was beautiful, charming and peaceful. It was beautifully decorated and I felt right at home. The patio was lovely and we spent mornings having coffee out there and enjoying the beautiful weather in Placitas. At night we enjoyed star gazing while drinking the wine Ellen dropped off for us. The kitchen had pots and pans and a coffee maker so we could cook. We loved our stay there and would stay again next time I visit. Liz
This is a lovely way to experience the area around Albuquerque. A small village with a lovely area to walk, the house is very quiet.We enjoyed grilling on the small terrace one night-dinner at nearby Blades was delicious.
A gem located in the heart of the historic village of Placitas under the backdrop of the Cibola National Forest! We had a very comfortable & peaceful stay @ Ellen’s home. We were most impressed by the charming adobe style as well as the thoughtful interior design. The backyard patio was great for hanging and BBQs. The fenced backyard was perfect for our dog to roam. We were just a few miles from many trailheads to hike the beautiful Sandia Mts. And just an hour or two away to explore the cultural treasures of Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Bandelier National Mt., Jemez Mt hot springs and more. Our stay @ Ellen’s home helped make our first trip to New Mexico. memorable :)
Village of Placitas
You absolutely must have a car to vacation or travel in New Mexico and for sure in Placitas.
自我介绍
I love folk art and collecting vintage treasures. If you have ever been to the "blue house" in Mexico city that is my inspiration. I am inspired by culture and history in my design work and my home. There are many national forest trails in Placitas and I love to ride my mountain bike or take runs on the trials. I am currently living abroad as a design nomad.
