About this property

Amazing Sandia Foothills Retreat Offering Hiking, Biking, and Stunning Views

  • Wake up near the Sandia Mountains, explore scenic foothills trails, and unwind on your private patio as the sun sets over Albuquerque. This thoughtfully updated two-bedroom apartment with one full bathroom and a private half bath in the primary bedroom brings together outdoor adventure, neighborhood favorites, and the comforts of home.

    Whether you’re visiting for a family vacation, Balloon Fiesta, a work assignment, or a relaxing getaway, you’ll have space to settle in and make the stay your own.

    A COMFORTABLE PLACE TO UNWIND

    After a day of exploring, stretch out in the inviting living room and stream your favorite shows on the smart TV using your own subscriptions. Prefer a movie night? Choose from more than 100 Blu-ray and DVD titles for adults and children, or gather around a board game for a relaxed evening together.

    High-speed internet supports remote work and streaming on multiple devices, making it easy to balance productivity with downtime.

    COOK, GATHER, AND ENJOY

    The beautifully updated kitchen is stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, and basic spices for everything from a quick breakfast before hitting the trails to a leisurely dinner at home.

    Coffee lovers will appreciate the stocked coffee bar, featuring Starbucks or New Mexico Piñon ground coffee. Pour a cup, step outside, and ease into your morning.

    YOUR PRIVATE PATIO WITH CITY VIEWS

    The spacious back patio may become your favorite spot. Enjoy city views, fresh air, and the colorful sunsets that make Albuquerque evenings so memorable.

    Lounge seating, a dining table with an umbrella, and your own propane barbecue grill make it easy to linger outside. Share dinner, enjoy a glass of wine, or simply relax after the day’s adventures.

    RESTFUL BEDROOMS AND ONE AND A HALF BATHROOMS

    The primary bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed dressed in quality linens, a selection of books, generous closet space, and a luggage rack to help you settle in. A large TV with Roku lets you enjoy your streaming subscriptions from bed. A private half bath with a toilet and sink adds convenience.

    The second bedroom features two comfortable twin beds with quality bedding, closet space, and a luggage rack. The updated full bathroom off the hallway includes a bathtub and shower for all guests to use.

    THE CONVENIENCES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

    Enjoy refrigerated air conditioning during warmer weather and forced-air heating when temperatures cool. An oversized washer and dryer, with laundry detergent provided, make packing lighter and longer stays easier.

    WALK TO BRIDGES ON TRAMWAY

    Leave the car behind and stroll to nearby Bridges on Tramway, a convenient neighborhood destination for a casual meal, a local craft beer, or a sweet treat.

    Enjoy a pint at Boxing Bear Brewing Company’s Bridges taproom, with a selection ranging from refreshing lagers to IPAs and stouts. Nearby food choices include Tako Ten, Duke City BBQ, Smash & Shake, Burrow Cafe, and The Paleta Bar, giving everyone something to look forward to after a day on the trails. Boxing Bear also welcomes food ordered from these neighboring businesses, making it easy to pair your favorite meal with a local brew.

    Having dining and drinks within walking distance makes a relaxed evening out an easy part of your stay.

    TRAILS AND ROOM TO EXPLORE

    With nearby foothills trails within walking distance, you can start your day with a peaceful stroll, an energizing run, or a mountain biking adventure. A grocery store a short drive away makes stocking the kitchen simple.

    Use the apartment as your home base for exploring the Sandia Peak Tramway, Sandia Resort & Casino, historic Old Town, and Albuquerque’s museums. Visiting for Balloon Fiesta? Plan an early departure and allow extra time for event traffic.

    For a memorable day trip, head to Santa Fe or explore the scenic Turquoise Trail along the eastern side of the Sandia Mountains.

    Come for the mountain setting, stay for the sunsets, and enjoy a comfortable Albuquerque retreat you’ll look forward to returning to.

It was everything and more that was needed (and not) for our stay. Cozy and ample with furnishings. Entertainment access was plentiful. Kitchen and bathrooms had substantial products, supplies and tools to make us feel at home. Our host, Jake, was timely in response, having provided easy to understand rules to follow upon entrance along with reasonable exit standards at departure. In the end, I’d absolutely return for a future stay with my family.

Comfortable weekender

We stayed here for a couple of nights at the end of Spring Break and got to spend some really nice time with our college kid. The space was clean and the kitchen well appointed. Very comfortable space on a quiet street. We'd for sure stay here again and will keep the place in mind for future visits.
