Vineyard Way Casita is a restored adobe with approximately 400 sq ft of indoor living space. It is located in the Historic Downtown area of Bernalillo.

We're walking distance to restaurants, unique shops/art galleries/ grocery stores, the Rail Runner & shuttles to two casinos. Casita is a day's drive to many scenic byways including Santa Fe, Taos, Corrales, Jemez, the Sandia Mountains including the world famous tramway; fishing, golf, hiking, biking, the Albuquerque Zoo & Botanical Park, vineyards, breweries, the world renowned balloon park & so much more! Cozy & convenient is how former guests have described the casita.

The casita is very cozy, quaint, functional and quiet. Due to the thick adobe walls, it stays cool in the summer & warm in the winter.

Our comfortable and convenient casita has all new appliances, a heater/refrigerated air combo, hard wood floors, tiled floors in both kitchen and bathroom. It has on demand hot water, a 4 burner electric stove/oven and full refrigerator.

The Rail Runner will take you to Santa Fe, Albuquerque, the International Airport, Los Lunas & Belen; not to mention the numerous Indian Casinos along the way! Vineyard Way Casita's prime location offers day trips to the Sandia Mountains, seven Indian Pueblos, historic sites and Scenic ByWays, which can take you to Jemez Pueblo & Jemez Springs or Taos and back within a day!

The world famous Range Cafe, is across the street as is Silva's Saloon that has been in continuous operation since the 1930's. Several movies have been shot in its location adding to its allure, history and colorful past! Camino Real Antiques, located just down Main Street, offers 6000 sq ft of treasures, including Native American artifacts and Western memorabilia.

This is the PERFECT place to stay to enjoy Las Fiestas de San Lorenzo in August, the New Mexico Wine Festival over Labor Day weekend and to experinece the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta held in October!

A wonderfully relaxing casita at a VERY affordable price!

We found this casita to be very comfortable and well appointed. It is not a large space, but the furnishing and decor have come together to create a warm and engaging place to stay. Everything was very clean and in great condition, and Fawn, her son, and the folks "next door" were helpful and attentive to any needs we had. We highly recommend this casita and plan to stay again. Definitely check out the Range Cafe across the street, and enjoy the proximity of Albuquerque and Santa Fe so nearby.

Cute adobe casita near everything

We spent a week in this great casita near Albuquerque/Santa Fe. The train station was only a few minutes walk from the casita and runs to both cities. We took it into Santa Fe for the farmers market and to shop at the Plaza. It is walking distance to a good eating place - "the Range". The place had everything we needed and was quiet, comfortable and cozy. Truly enjoyed it.

Cute studio casita close to Albuquerque!

We had a great time in the Albuquerque area for the Balloon Fiesta and Annular Solar Eclipse! This cute casita was perfect for my husband and I! Fawn sent great instructions for checking in and was very responsive to our request to check out a little later, which allowed us some time to rest after an early morning going to the Balloon Fiesta! There were some nice snacks waiting for us in the casita, which were very much appreciated during our car rides around the area. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends and I would stay again.

Casita Stay

My husband and I just returned from a trip to New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. It was our first time using VRBO and I thought I'd give it a try. I've always wanted to visit NM and stay in an Adobe bldg. to fully "experience" the Land of Enchantment so we stayed in Fawn's Authentic Adobe Casita rental for three nights. Wonderful experience!!!!! We had everything we needed, including a fun welcoming basket of wine and snacks. We had a car rental, but loved using the rail runner when visiting the Santa Fe area (train depot is very close by and easy to use). We took walks around town each day, ate at the Range Café (excellent food), plus there is a Denny's and KFC for something quick while on the go. We enjoyed ourselves immensely! We felt very safe. The people around this quaint little town were friendly and helpful. Fawn was such a joy to meet and very attentive to our needs. Her talented son has an art shop next door to our casita and introduced himself right away and welcomed us. Honestly, it was like having family nearby. The breathtaking views of the Sandia Mountains in the background made Bernalillo the perfect start to our travel adventure! We would highly recommend this adobe casita to anyone who is traveling as a couple or alone. We hope to go back there again at some point. Loved our time there! Thanks Fawn!!!!!!

All the Ambience of a quintessential casita was on the Exterior!

This casita was a good size for 2 people, however it lacked in the kind of esthetics you want went traveling i.e. the rich flavor of the culture. Instead we got a vibe of a hodgepodge of furniture (no comfortable chair for reading ) Bedding, linens and accessories were not at all quality goods. Disappointing for such a potentially lovely casita.

Just right for my needs

Grocery was a handy walk. Good restaurant was a handy walk. Place was well enough and simply appointed. Could use some soft seating - but it just wasn’t a big deal. One hiccup with the front door getting jammed, but a quick text and it was handled. With a sense of humor by all.

Beautiful casita with a few snags.

Adored staying here and Fawn was amazing. A few snags but nothing that would deter me from staying again. 1. I could not log on to the WiFi and literally had to go buy a hot spot. 2. There needs to be a seal around the screen door as there are a variety of insects that live to keep you company and 3. The bed frame was reversed so when you moved the bed frame moved and/or “popped up”. If you wanted to watch tv there was no alternative but to use the bed. Again, nothing that would stop me from staying again. Done judge by this, they’re merely minor suggestions.
