Summer in the desert and Ballon festival in fall!

This great house has all the original charm of the 1950's with a great location right off I-40; Easy to find just get off the Rio Grande exit of I-40. DO note - This home only has a Kitchenette! It is a great home for a stop over and for a home base for outdoor activites!
Come stay for a night on your motorcycle or RV trip, or stay for the whole Balloon Festival. Expansive RV and motorcycle gated parking available.
Keywords: RV parking, Old Town, motorcycle parking, vacation rental home
We have guests sign a rental contract outside the domain. Ask for details. Guests booking must be 25 years old. No parties allowed

The home does not have a "full kitchen", so don't feel pressure to cook! Old Town and fabulous food is 3 blocks south, so enjoy all the local flavors! Home has a hot plate, microwave, and refrigerator for a quick breakfast or lunch on the go.

4 bedrooms one with a king bed, one with a queen bed, a third with a full/twin bunk bed and a queen, and fourth has a queen bed. Lots of space for kids and to relax.

Great Place to Stay for Balloon Fiesta
The home was just as described. Very roomy for our entire family. The location was great for trips to Old Town and the Balloon Fiesta being right off the highway. Everything was close. Quick walk to Starbucks for coffee. The Range restaurant was right across the street for breakfast or lunch. Getting used to the highway noise took a few days. But not too bad. Check in process didn't work and had to make a call to the owner. She fixed right away. There was NO internet as stated. But the owner worked very hard to get it restored while we were there. But to no avail. I knew before hand there was no kitchen. But for as many days as we were there it was very inconvenient. We made do. Private parking with a locked gate was nice. I would have rated 5 stars if the internet would have worked and had a better kitchen.

Not good
They were told they could check in - and the house was totally in a state of disarray and not clean. The group had to search for other housing, and were able to get a hotel.

The property was surrounded by homeless people
The property managers were very nice and efficient. The lock pad was broken and we had difficulty time getting back into the home after leaving and coming back. There is not a full kitchen.. otherwise our trip was good

Safety Concerns
Entering the property was a little off-putting as it is a big empty gravel lot that has a chain lock on it. It is located at the direct corner of a freeway and a main street, where normally a gas station would be. We could have google earthed, but we did not. The home is lovely, well taken care of. Old, but still nice. AC is selective in the house. We turned the one in the master on and power went out on that side of the house. Spent hot night. Next night we spent 2 hours with electricians telling us how old the wiring is. No smoke detectors in any of the bedrooms. Very hard to sleep comfortably in a home with questionable electrical (verified by the electrician we spent time with on our vacation) and no smoke detectors.

The property is older but is well taken care off.
This property is older but well taken care of. Although there is not an official kitchen there are sufficient appliances to allow for a meal to be made and a rather large dining area. The location, for us, was close to our destination (Albuquerque Sports Complex) but it appears that this part of town is a bit sketchy with lots of homeless walking around. The only issues we had were the entrance to the property opens right into a bedroom which was inconvenient and left privacy for that room a bit uncomfortable. The heating for this particular bedroom and the room that has the three beds were much colder than the rest of the house but lots of blankets in the closet to help stay warm. If going back, would stay here again if going to someplace close to the property
