Tiny home in Placitas

Stayed during the balloon fiesta. Very private and nicely decorated tiny home. Great place for star gazing while sitting by the fire pit or catching a glimpse of the wild horses and other wildlife. My 2 small dogs loved hanging on the porch with me. Host was very accommodating, promptly attended to all my needs and welcomed me with a bottle of wine. I would definitely stay at this tiny home again!
