About this lodge
Nestled in Albuquerque, this charming lodge for $191 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Enjoy this cozy, 2 bedroom Sandia Heights home. On corner lot, with quiet and tranquil surroundings. Experience the serenity of the natural, high desert landscape; and appreciate the wildlife that visits you from the nearby arroyo. This property has Southwestern solitude, yet the amenities of a metropolitan city, and Albuquerque's diverse culture. From the comfort of your living room's leather recliners, you can view the Sandia Mountains; and see the entire length of the world's longest Tram. Or use the telescope or binoculars for stargazing or birdwatching. Experience the 'watermelon' sunset hues, while grilling and dining on the outdoor patio. Spend time on the swing with your children/grandchildren (when they are not enjoying the nearby playground and park). Or just relax with a margarita or cerveza. You will be 5 minutes from the Sandia Peak Tram, and 10 minutes from the Sandia Resort & Casino (golf, dining, gambling, dancing, entertainment). The Tram is easy access to the 'back side' of Sandia Peak, for winter skiing and summer mountain biking. Sandia Heights is an epicenter for 'outdoor' living. Extensive biking/jogging/blading trail just steps away, with 2 BICYCLES and HELMETS PROVIDED (can provide additional bikes if needed). Property sits in middle of a hiker's paradise, with some of the favorite trails 5-10 minutes from your doorstep (La Luz Trail, Tramway Loop, Elena Gallegos Nature Trail, Pino, Domingo Baca, and Piedra Lisa Canyon). Ample library of maps and guide books furnished for your use. Decorated in local color and Native art, this is a perfect spot for creativity, writing, or just relaxing with family.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this home and would come again! Beverly, the host, was available for questions and provided great hospitality. She even provided snacks and beverages for us upon arrival and all of the supplies you could ever need while staying in a home.

We were greeted upon arrival by our awesome hosts, Beverly & Phil, with delicious snacks, jalapeño margaritas and other local goodies. Beverly showed us how things work in the house as well as area information and recommendations.
Casa Sandia Peak is a comfortable home with all the amenities and breath taking views. The location on the arroyo is quiet and private. There are plenty of places to walk right out the back or front door, perfect if your dog has accompanied you.
We felt so at home here it was hard to leave. We definitely plan to come back to this wonderful place!

This is a beautiful home with everything we needed for a fun and relaxing stay. We took several walks and runs up the arroyo into the mountains right from the back door. Beverly and Phil were great hosts and provided lots of information about things to do and places to see, and made sure we had everything we needed.
Thanks!

Perfect location with daily visits from mule deer, roadrunners, coyote. Unhindered views of the beautiful Sandias. Very comfortable beds. Well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms. The hosts, Bev and Phil, could not have been nicer - met us with fresh guacamole and margaritas, all the info we needed. Answered our phone calls quickly. A perfect experience for us.

We spent wonderful days with family, just spending time in the magnificent foothills of the Sandia's. We cooked in the well-stocked kitchen, had cocktails in front of the fire and enjoyed the wildlife wandering through the backyard (many deer)! Thank you for a wonderful time! We'll be back!

First of all, the hosts were the best we've experienced in all of our VRBO stays. We were met upon arrival and shown all the ins and outs of the property. The home was very well stocked with the necessities; coffee, tp, paper towels, etc plus a sampling of local treats. Very generous. There were more than enough reading materials to acquaint a visitor to both Albuquerque and New Mexico overall. We found many things to entertain us that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. The hosts went well above and beyond to make sure we had a good vacation. Possibly the biggest treat though was the entertainment furnished by all of the animals visiting the back yard. Rabbits arrived early, usually followed by deer, followed by birds. We had as many as 15 deer in the yard at once and they visited every day. Special sightings were a Coopers Hawk, who scared everything else away, but sat in a tree for 90 minutes. It must have been napping. On Thanksgiving morning, a lynx, I guess locally called a bobcat came and sat at the edge of the deck for a bit. Roadrunners and quails passed through every few days.
Casa Sandia Peak comes with our highest recommendation, and we wouldn't hesitate to spend our next visit to Albuquerque there.

We had a wonderful stay. Beverly is the certainly the “host with the most!” The home alone is perfectly situated for an outstanding experience. The view is beautiful and encourages relaxation time outdoors. The rooms were very comfortable and the whole house is very livable. Beverly added to this by having great drinks pre-made for our arrival plus chips and homemade guacamole! Thanks for a great trip!

This is our second time to stay at the Abshere's VRBO in Albuquerque and it was great both times. I can't say enough good things about this home and the hosts. The home is in a great location: close to hike/bike paths, grocery stores (Albertson's and Smiths), restaurants, the Balloon Fiesta and other attractions. The home itself is nicely furnished and decorated, is well equipped and has amazing views of Sandia Peak and the tramway. We enjoyed the daily visits from the mule deer and birds in the back yard. Beverly is also a fantastic hostess; she makes you feel at home and has many great suggestions on things to do and places to see. We've also stayed at their VRBO in Palo Duro Canyon, which I highly recommend, too. Their VRBOs are exceptional and I've yet to stay in another VRBO that measures up to this. HIGHLY recommend!!

The property has an excellent view of the Sandia mountains. My companions and I spent many hours sitting in the backyard, mesmerized by the view and the wildlife.. The property has everything you could need and was located near the Tram, trails, stores, and yoga!

Wonderful hosts! Beautiful location! Well equipped home! Comfortable and convenient! We really enjoyed our 9 day stay, and appreciate the great communication with Beverly. We had everything we could have possibly needed plus more. We will definitely be back to Albuquerque to visit relatives, and hope this home will be available when we come back. Thanks so much for a fantastic stay!

Sandia Serenity
This property exceeded our expectations. The view of Sandia Peak is beautiful . . .watching the tram travel up and down, the pink hues at sunset and sipping coffee in the cool morning air awaiting the sunrise over the mointain . . .spectacular. And the wildlife visitors---deer, bunnies, quails, birds----mesmerizing. Beverly was a fabulous hostess and the home very comfortable. I even managed to read a Tony Hillerman book I hadn't yet read from the home's extensive library.

Thank you Beverly and Phil !
My wife and I travel often and always rent homes. This is one of the best houses/hosts we have ever had. The house was well furnished and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The views are magnificent. And Beverly and Philip were so gracious and accommodating, they bent over backwards to make sure we were happy. We visit Albuquerque regularly and from now on we will plan our visits around their availability. Wish we could give more than 5 stars.

Our family of 4 (kids ages 13 and 10) stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute. The view from the house of the Sandia mountains is fantastic. The amenities of the house were exactly as described. The house was beautifully decorated with local furnishings and art. The owners were extremely responsive and happy to provide recommendations. I will be recommending this house to any friends planning to visit Albequerque. Thanks again for sharing your house with us!

Hard to express in words the beautiful mountain views from the large window in this house! Incredible hiking right out the back door! We stayed for a month during the Christmas holidays and had a wonderful time. Philip and Beverly’s house is supplied with all the cooking equipment needed for a large holiday meal! Very comfortable beds and a warm, cozy feel to the home due to the dual fireplace and Christmas decor. We appreciate both of them for being amazing hosts and hope to stay again!

Home in Sandia Heights
My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in the home. It was very comfortable and home was equipped with lots of kitchen items and household items. I didn’t have to bring anything from my home. The owner met us at the home to show me a few things. Home located in a quiet neighborhood. There is a bike/walking path right outside of the neighborhood as well as beautiful trails not far from home. Owner has lots of information/maps in the home and I enjoyed reading through the beautiful books they have on the state of New Mexico. The backyard has a gorgeous view of the Sandia Mountains. The backyard isn’t fenced and has a desert style landscape. Deer came by to visit each morning and evening. Great stay overall and I would love to stay again! Thank you Beverly & Phil.

Great time!
We went for the balloon Fiesta and had a great even when not there! The house was great…….comfortable, clean and has everything you need to enjoy your time. Bev was great…greeted us with food and wine and made sure we knew what was important during our stay there. We had my brother and wife there for a few days and when they left another friend came for the last few days. It was great to sit outside and just enjoy the scenery and watch for the wild life that was always around. Would go back again if we get the chance!

Enjoyed our first VRBO experience immensely! Like having a home away from home. So great to have a comfortable and appealing place to come back to after a busy day of sightseeing. This house is perfect for a couple—Especially enjoyed our morning coffee on the patio with a fabulous view of Sandra Crest!

The owners were there to greet us (we were early) with some delicious welcome treats and acquainted us with places to see and restaurants to visit.
The living room furniture is comfortable, the beds are comfortable, and the patio furniture is comfortable. The decor is rustic NM and everywhere you look there is something interesting to appreciate. We loved having morning coffee outside watching wildlife from mule deer to hawks and roadrunners. Fantastic view of the mountains and the Sandia Tram. Owners were easy to contact and very responsive and the house is well supplied with kitchen needs and bathroom towels, soap, shampoo, and lots and lots of hangers. Sometimes it's the little touches that are really appreciated-like hangers!
We loved our stay in this charming house so appreciate the owners.

Ideal for working remotely
We stayed for two weeks working remotely and exploring New Mexico on weekends. Everything at this property is spot on. Well stocked up, high speed internet, spotless, comfortable beds, beautifully decorated, perfect patio set up, incredible views, and several steps to trails leading to the mountains and biking trails. Beverly, our host, was a wealth of knowledge and hospitality. She welcomed us with stocked up pantry, home made appetizers and breakfast scones! We had everything we needed on day one. Our dog has a blast too! Recommend to business travelers, couple vacation, family vacation, hiking and biking enthusiasts. Will come again!

A special property- Can’t beat the views, neighborhood, and location!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sandia Peak property. Sandia Heights is one of our favorite locations in New Mexico- close to everything but nestled up against the Sandias. The property has beautiful unobstructed views and is at the end of the street and does not back to a house which adds a level of privacy. We saw just about every kind of wild life in the yard- deer, coyote, quail, bunnies, and all kinds of birds.
The property was a great size for us. Fully equipped house with full kitchen and all of the appliances you will need. Beverly and Phil are phenomenal hosts. They have created a very special southwestern property for their guests and provide top notch customer service should you need anything. We will absolutely book this property again when we return to New Mexico and highly recommend for others.

Wonderful Escape
Even though you are in the largest city in New Mexico, you feel like you have the entire place to yourself. Only one close neighbor that you can’t see and beautiful unobstructed views of the mountains and the tramway! We will be returning!

Loved this mountain home
We loved the property, and definitely will want to return. The home was cozy and welcoming after a day of exploring Albuquerque. The bed was so comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked, and the view of Sandia mountain, and all the wonderful wildlife, was spectacular.

Perfect spot
The house was perfect for our family of four. We loved waking to the beautiful sunrise views of the Sandia mountains and watching the tram inch it’s way up and down the mountain. It was nice and quiet with friendly neighbors nearby. Beverly is an amazing host. This was our first VRBO and we felt spoiled. She took such good care of us I felt like her family. The house is stocked with everything you could need. We felt so comfortable and at home. Thank you Beverly for everything. We can’t wait to come back.

Like Staying With Family-Only Better!
From the very beginning we were treated like old “old friends” coming for a visit. Beverly told us everything there was to do around Albuquerque and the surrounding area, pointed out the best time to visit (we were coming for the Balloon Fiesta), and gave us websites that would help. Upon arrival Phil was waiting to welcome us and see if we had any questions. The home is perfectly located and beautiful...the pictures don’t do it justice! There was a beautiful basket with local information and goodies waiting as well as a bottle of local wine (Beverly had asked if we liked red or white) and local beers. Whether you were sitting inside looking at the mountains or outside, deer would walk by...so beautiful! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend!

Sandia Heights South
My wife and I shared this property with another couple for a week. The separate bed/bath, well stocked kitchen and spacious living area made for a very comfortable and enjoyable week. The mountain view, quietness of the neighborhood, and wildlife watching made sitting on the patio a real pleasure.
Beverly and Phil were great and showed pride in their property and the ABQ area. They were accessible and ready and willing to help make our stay as enjoyable and trouble free as possible.
We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we were in the area.

Awesome Property and Home!
The house was absolutely perfect! We had everything we needed! The location and property was awesome! Beverly and Philip were great owners to deal with! They went above and beyond. Beverly helped us plan our trip which was very helpful! They were both at the house to greet us when we checked in. During our week stay, they made sure to check in to see how things were going! I would definitely recommend this property and if I could give it more stars I would!!
