Placitas · 整套小木屋 · 1室1床1.0卫 · 可住3人 · Rustic Mountain Casita
Stay at 6200 ft, in a quaint one-room, 400 square ft mountain casita. Built in the 40’s, two brothers lived in it and rented horses for city folk to take mountain excursions. Now we’re renting it out for any folk to make their own excursions! Escape the city, see the stars, explore Sandia Mountain. The casita is one room with a small ¾ bathroom. There’s a queen bed and small fold-down couch. The kitchen has a single electric cooktop and a small sink. Electric baseboard heaters and the woodstove keep the place toasty. Just two miles up the road is Sandia Man Cave, extensive hiking, and a beautiful mountain stream and picnic ground. With a Subaru or SUV you can take Hwy 165 all the way up to Sandia Crest, which is just over 10,000 ft high. Our property backs up to National Forest, so hiking and exploration is just outside your door. Get to the Santa Fe Plaza in under an hour, and Balloon Fiesta Park and Albuquerque in 30 minutes.
My wife and I stayed at the casita after messing up our hotel booking in downtown Albequerque - we were one night short and panicked. Ben and Lauren were nothing short of accommodating when we needed to stay a single night depsite their 2-night policy. The location of the casita was absolutely beautiful and truly two of the most friendly hosts we've met. We especially enjoyed looking at the goats + chickens as well as one of their sons making sure to wave goodbye to us from the window. Unbelievably sweet family and the perfect space for a scenic getaway for a couple! The casita truly had everything! The homemade granola they left us was delicious. We will definitely be back and will stay much longer!
Ben and Lauren are amazing hosts and their gem in the foothills of the mountains is a perfect getaway - they were super responsive upon arrival and instructions were very clear and accurate right down to nuances on cell service coverage, and road conditions on the day of arrival! The place is clean, cozy, and beautifully simple while still having all of the amenities one needs for a peaceful weekend surrounded by nature - they were super accommodating of a schedule change unexpected due to a flight cancellation, gave great recommendations on best hikes in the area, and had extra supplies for when I forgot some things at home. The kitchen was stocked with homemade goods, coffee, and all the right utensils, and the wood fired stove kept the whole place warm even on a winter night - They joyfully share their love of homesteading in the mountains and valleys surrounding, and it shows. highly recommend for a couple or single person looking for retreat!
I had a wonderful getaway at Ben and Lauren’s! It’s a great space, cozy and clean, and the wood-burning stove kept me warm all night. They brought me fresh baked bread and I enjoyed the homemade cheese they left for me in the fridge. If you’re looking for a quiet, comfortable spot in the foothills without being too far from the city, definitely grab this cabin! You won’t regret it.
Ben and Lauren absolutely spoiled me for a long weekend getaway. The check-in was easy and they had a hand-written welcome note, fresh baked bread and milk, yogurt and cheese from their goats waiting for this hungry, late-arriving traveler. The cabin was cute, cozy, cunningly-appointed and very comfortable. They were ready with recommendations, advice, a hiking guide and even eclipse-viewing glasses (my reason for visiting). The cabin's shelves are even stacked with great literature if you've found you accidentally left your reading material behind. I would visit again in half a heartbeat. It was a perfect stay.
Our neighborhood is Las Huertas Valley, a narrow valley at the foot of Sandia Valley. We live along old mountain acequias that we use to irrigate our properties each summer.
