Summary: This is one of the absolute best VRBOs we’ve had the opportunity to visit over the past decade. It is similar to a boutique hotel in appearance and amenities. The home is state-of-the art, modern, clean, well furnished and well appointed. We (2 senior adults) stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, and wished we had booked longer. It is very quiet and peaceful, with amazing views and excellent star gazing. It is a short drive down the mountain to a small commercial area with a coffee shop, convenience store, pizza, and a restaurant. It was a pleasant drive to both Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
