About this property

Balloon Fiesta close to Charming, Historic, N. Valley Casita!

A romantic, rustic hideaway in a true 'oasis in the desert'. Our authentic adobe casita is situated within Los Terrones, a 40 casita compound set among 6 acres of meadow, in the Village of Los Ranchos. 'Casita Chueca' has exposed vigas (beams), brick floors with radiant heat and a huge picture window on the east side offering plenty of morning light and views to the wildflower meadow.

A perfect rural North Valley experience with all the conveniences of Albuquerque and quick access to Santa Fe.

The casita offers a true New Mexican Adobe experience with modern amenities. We've outfitted the kitchen with all the things needed to prepare a quick breakfast, as well as a full dinner. Enjoy high speed WiFi and AppleTV in the living room for relaxing or cozy up to the 100 year old baby grand piano!

In addition to the radiant in-floor heating, ductless mini-split A/C offers quiet and efficient heating and cooling for optimal temperatures in each room! If there is something you need, please ask!

The casita can accommodate 3 or 4 adults + 2 small children.

The laundry room is a shared space on the greater property (not in the casita).

WILDLIFE DISCLOSURE (PLEASE READ): The neighborhood is semi-rural with the presence of wildlife, including insects. We do treat for insects regularly, however, you may experience their presence in and around the property.

Part of Our Balloon Fest Experience
Home was decorated in beautiful southwestern style which we considered a lovely part of our New Mexico experience. Easy parking. WiFi was excellent. Main bedroom had good closet space and comfortable bed. One small bathroom. Close to Balloon Fest parking.

Super cute casita!
We were in town for a long weekend for a youth climbing competition. Rather than stay in a bland hotel we thought this would help us understand Albuquerque a little better. It's such a cute adobe house. All the things others have said are true but we loved the character! We walked along the irrigation canal a couple times - it has some shade which is nice. We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay here again. Do make sure to drive really slow in and out of the neighborhood - one neighbor felt I was going too fast and was upset. Oh also the directions don't tell you a casita number. We figured it out but that would be helpful to know for sure that you're at the right place.

Cute Adobe House
The house had everything we needed. On a quiet road. some low doorways and tight bath. Best if you are under 5'10" and 200 lbs.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Bromberg

Host profile image
We are a family of native New Mexicans with deep roots in the Rio Grande Valley.

Why they chose this property

Casita Chueca (crooked house) is situated on a lovely compound in Albuquerque's North Valley. It is a piece of paradise, a semi-rural setting hidden within a metropolitan area which makes it close to nature but also close to all the conveniences of the city.

What makes this property unique

We love the easy access to all parts of Albuquerque and New Mexico while enjoying the tranquil, green, natural environment and historic ambiance. The trip to Santa Fe, which we enjoy visiting often, is very short, whether by car or the Railrunner train.
