Great place, close to Old Town

We enjoyed our stay at Prickly Pear. The place was very clean and had nice amenities that other properties sometimes don't offer (like snacks at arrival, robes for the hot tub, waters in the fridge). The owners were very helpful and quick to answer any questions and checked in through email to make sure we had everything we needed.

Fun, comfort and style in central ABQ

We loved our stay at Prickly Pear cactus! The check directions were clear and thorough and everything was easy and secure. There’s a park right near where lots of folks walk their dog. Its 10 mins to UNM and easy to downtown. Hot tub clean and great. Fun backyard vibes, great screen for movie watching, well stocked and super responsive hosts. Comfy beds, couch and great tub. Appreciated easy check out, and would stay again!

Stay in December

We loved this house! The location was great, right next to a park with a lot of trails and events in early December. The house has everything we needed for a 4 day stay, including a designated parking spot for our rental car and a hot tub. We would definitely stay here again!

Great spot and fine location

The home is in a central area that is convenient for almost every activity. There is a wonderful jogging/biking path that runs the length of the Rio Grande right next door—a great space for our pooch, too! There are security gates and helpful remote controls, and communicating with the owner was quick and helpful. A great hot tub on a very cold evening. The price point and no extra dog charge was an added bonus.

Beautiful retreat with tasteful design and great amenities

We enjoyed each minute of the two nights we stayed in this gorgeous green home. The kitchen was luxurious and well stocked, the TV in the living room was huge, we loved playing with the arcade game, and the hot tub was the perfect way to end the day (it does take a bit of time to heat up). Would certainly stay here again if we have the opportunity!

Quiet, lovely, relaxing place

Very nicely furbished home with cool amenities! The only item to look into - - in one of the bedrooms, the bed is very squeaky - - may need a new mattress! It's the room towards the back of the home.

Love this place!

We chose the house because we could walk to the zoo from it but we will be back because of the special touches the hosts provide such as robes for the hot tub, the art and decor, and cold beverages in the fridge when you arrive. It is such a cute house with a great small yard to relax in. Thank you!
