The home was VERY nicely furnished, inside and out, with great attention to detail. This made it a relaxing place to stay.The place was very clean; the housekeeping staff takes good care in their work.
This is the third time we've stayed at La Huerta. A very peaceful, nicely appointed oasis to call home away from home. Very comfortable and welcoming and a great central location to the Albuquerque area. Thank you again Michael.
This was our second stay at Casa La Huerta, our home away from home. It’s a peaceful and charming retreat in Albuquerque, beautifully maintained and rich with Southwest character. The casita is cozy, private, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need—a perfect place to unwind or spark creativity.
We had a wonderful stay. The location is beautiful and the house has everything you need. If we come back to Albuquerque we will definitely stay here again.
This historic adobe home was so comfortable, close to Old Town and great restaurants. Biked a trail nearby with access not far from the house.The host was helpful on arrival showing us the home and providing information on the activities we were interested in.The outdoor patio was nice to come back to at the end of our days exploring. Definitely a great place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay in this quaint historic house. Super cute outdoor area - wished we had longer to stay. Michael was a fantastic host - made sure we had everything we needed at check in and responsive when a question popped up. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed our stay. The experience staying here was beyond our expectation. The location was wonderful. It was convenient to all the popular venues. We look forward to staying with you again.
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”. This home has all the New Mexican vibes with modern amenities. Everything was seemless and Michael was very welcoming and gracious we would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful quiet property with a private gated yard. The perfect size and amenities for our family! Owner was very communicative and prompt in assisting us with our needs. Would definitely book again!
Casa La Huerta is in a great location, and was a comfortable home base for our 11-day stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the gas fireplace especially appreciated as it was not warm weather. We'd love to relax outdoors in the garden and patio in warmer months!
The property was just perfect for our visit with my daughter’s family. Very cute, cozy and well maintained. Perfect size for the 2 of us. In a nice, quiet neighborhood.
The owner was very helpful when our flights were delayed, and me us at the property to get us started.
We will stay there again.
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!
My husband and I absolutely loved this property!!! I loved sitting out back in the morning, drinking my coffee, and reading on my kindle. It was so relaxing and quiet. It was perfect for the two of us. The house is in a great location.
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!
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.
We couldn't believe our good fortune! We found we could hike in a preserve, a state park, and on rural trails right from this beautiful home. We also took walks to a nearby neighborhood hub with a cafe, book and other quality stores, and to dinner at an iconic New Mexican restaurant. All that and it's still only 15 minutes from Old Town. We will be back!
This is not your average VRBO. It is immaculate, stylish, spacious and comfortable! The property is large with a fantastic courtyard. There are security gates and it feels like a very private, secluded space. The decor is definitely New Mexico! Michael, the host, was helpful but not intrusive. We loved this stop! Not one complaint. Thank you for sharing!
