Great Experience! Love the Attention to Detail!
I rarely leave reviews, but our beautiful experience in this home was something exceptional, and I feel compelled to express my thoughts. First, the home itself is absolutely beautiful, the interior design was stunning, it is very clean, and all furniture and materials were nothing but the best. The beds were also very comfortable and the home well laid out for us. If that were all, then that would be enough to leave a great review. However, the property owners were just fantastic to work with. They paid attention to every detail of our stay. They had surprises and goodies for us that just made our arrival and stay exceptional. We really and truly appreciated the care extended for my family. The only thing I would want is to be able to get to come back soon.

Beautiful, beautiful property!
There is a reason that I keep staying at Nicolle and Robert's properties, they really are amazing! This home is beautiful. We especially loved sitting outside in the back listening to the relaxing sound of the fountain. The firepit was great, as are the heaters that are outside (if it's chilly). All of the rooms in this home are beautiful and so well equipped, you won't want for anything. We did not spend a lot of time inside, as the back yard area is so comfortable! We appreciated all of the little extra touches. Any issues or questions, Nicolle is just a text away and any issues are dealt with quickly. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, can't wait to stay again!

Excellent Hosts/Excellent Property/Excellent Experience
This is a beautiful property with all amenities--and then some--that one could imagine. Nicolle and Robert are quintessential hosts, available to assist at any time. A simple text and Nicolle would have response. Her recommendations for lunch/dinner places in ALBQ and Santa Fe were excellent. As to the property, the hot tub, the fireplace, and the backyard are amazing with the view of mountains and the famous air balloons--we caught one on a Saturday! We were two families and celebrated our daughter's birthday at this stunning place. ALL IN ALL A FIVE STAR PLACE. Thank you Nicolle and Robert. We will certainly return.

Beautiful home and property. Beautifully decorated. I stayed there with my husband, mother, sister and four kids. We all had great rooms and the bathrooms were very nice. The kitchen and living room were very spacious and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful backyard and Jacuzzi. I will definitely be staying here again!

Fabulous place!
We loved our stay! So well equipped with everything for the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, large towels for the hot tub, outside lights... Communication with Nicolle was great! She connected with us from the moment we booked, kept us posted on check-in time, and immediately responded when we texted with a question. Definitely would stay again if we came back to the area!!

Perfect Christmas Celebration
Our family Christmas celebration could not have been more perfect. This home delivered on every one of our needs: big kitchen for making raviolis, family breakfasts with griddled pancakes, bathrooms for everyone but mostly the lovely touches which the host Nicolle had in every nook and corner. She was wonderful! We will most certainly be returning for another wonderful stay.

In town for State VB tournament.
House was immaculate, and host was very accommodating. The only thing I wish was different was being allowed to feed the team during some down time in between games. Was told this wasn’t allowed however the house was plenty big enough to allow the girls to relax during their down time. Other than that, everything is 5 stars!
