Casa La Huerta - The Orchard House - Historic Adobe Home

Welcome to Casa La Huerta! This authentic, Northern New Mexico-style adobe home hosts guests in the residential Rio Grande district of Albuquerque’s verdant North Valley. Leave the car behind and walk to local favorites like Flying Star Café – an eclectic eatery with something for everyone.

Enjoy outdoor spaces at the front and back Casa La Huerta, overseeing 1/3 of an acre with beneficial native plant species landscaping and scented by sunflowers, lavender, and our small fruit orchard. When they’re in season, feel free to step outside and pick fresh fruit from the trees!

With its single level, no stairs, and senior friendly bathroom amenities, Casa La Huerta is especially popular with our retirement age guests. Our no pets policy means that those with pet allergies breathe easy and enjoy a comfortable stay.

I am a homegrown New Mexican who now lives in NY. I was traveling back to ABQ for spring break and wanted a great house that “felt like home”.

Cozy, Clean, and Quiet - A Perfect Getaway!

Casa La Huerta was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how clean and well-maintained the property was. The cozy interiors made it feel like a true home away from home, and the quiet surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway.The hosts thought of everything to make the stay comfortable, from the well-equipped kitchen to the small touches that made us feel welcome. The location was ideal—close enough to explore the local attractions but tucked away in a peaceful spot.We can't wait to return!

Balloon fiesta weekend

My husband, 6 yo daughter and I enjoyed our stay during a long weekend in Albuquerque for the balloon fiesta. The house had everything we needed and more, very clean and in a nice quite neighborhood. We loved being 20-30 minutes away from the fiesta and 15 minutes from downtown/the zoo/breweries/the petroglyph national park. I even got to watch a few hot air balloons from the back porch while enjoying my coffee on the last day. We would stay again if we come back!

Great Home In a Great Location

An older home modernized just enough to retain its character and be very comfortable at the same time. Set on a large lot with a private parking area and wonderful outdoor landscaping and spaces. Comfortable bed and very well equipped but not cluttered kitchen. Host meets you at property to make sure you are properly oriented, which is a nice touch. This is a "do again" VRBO for me.
