Novo México: pousadas

Al and Ruriko were personable, caring, and attentive toward my mom, and welcoming to both of us. Although my mom and I had our person space, we felt at home in their living space. Ruriko was extremely kind. She made us hot tea in the afternoon which accompanied a special sweet treat (my mom loves sweets so this was perfect after a long morning at the balloon festival). The room was perfect for my mom and I. The room was clean with plenty of space to move around. The outdoor patio has a gorgeous and breathtaking view of Albuquerque and the Sandia mountains with a view of the Rio Grande as well. This is my second time staying here. We plan to stay next year. Thank you both for your friendship.

My friend and I stayed in the Anna room for this year's balloon fiesta. Al and Ruriko were very friendly and helpful with our travel plans and the house was very quiet and relaxing. The view of the city and mountains was an added bonus. The best surprise that wasn't included in the listing is that the Anna room has its own full bathroom and a mini fridge, allowing my friend and I to have lots of privacy. The Anna room is also at the end of a hallway with a door to the outside so we rarely ran into any of the other guests. I will definitely consider staying here again if I come back to Albuquerque.

Loved this place. We were at another air B and B and left due to some concerns about the river flooding. We had a large 95 pound dog and it’s not easy to find something last min with such a large dog. This place had a room - we were so lucky!! They had water and food dishes for our big dog. Let him in the big house and provided poop bags! Every detail was thought of. We had a screened in porch where we watched hummingbirds all day. Wifi was very quick! Beds were sooo comfortable and the food was amazing! I really felt like we were family there and next year I’m bypassing the river place and staying here! Natalie

This is easily the nicest AirBnb stay I have ever experienced. The hosts were marvelous, and fed me an extra meal after I had rolled in on my bicycle following three hours of pedaling into headwinds. Erin inquired about my dietary habits and prepared meals that met those requirements. Their home is large and I had one end of the house to myself. The views from their home are striking, and to sleep in utter quiet was just what I needed. I got to watch three kittensof a feral momma cat (who shrewdly figured out these humans were the kind to hang around) gambol and play on the deck off the diningroom.

Delicious breakfast each morning. Indoor pool and hot tub were very enjoyable.

I enjoyed my stay @ Sofia's. It was mid-week and quiet so there was no need to share the bathroom. I haven't stayed at B&B much, but I slept well and enjoyed a great breakfast. Sofia and Jason are sweet and I enjoyed our visit. I thought there was a fridge and microwave in the room (Patriotic) but there was not (only certain rooms), but I was able to get some hot water and store ice packs downstairs, so all was good. Very nice and comfy overall. It is a very good stop for folks passing through from TX to CO. I'm glad I didn't push to Trinidad because it snowed on Raton Pass overnight and I would have been navigating it in the dark.

Wildflower Suite is a gem of a location. The view from the suite window out to the north is just a superb blend of the host's marvelous desert garden and the distant mountains. Julie is a great host, great with the communication and great with making the stay a genuine delight. Don't miss those delicious scones, wonderful things. I'm not much of a tv junkie or a streaming fanatic and so I really found the quiet peace in the suite and in the large yard to be a superb fit for me. The host keeps a small library of varied books in case you did not bring something and I found several books to be interesting enough that I'm looking get copies of them. If not for some rain on a couple of the days I would have notched more hikes in Cibola National Forest. Be sure to look over Julie's noteboook of information as it does add to making your stay so enjoyable and safe.

Ray is a great host. We had a small incident in the bathroom and he quickly responded & fixed the issue quickly. We loved the homes location. It was very clean upon arrival and easy to find. There were very many restaurants & hiking spots nearby. It felt homey & very spacious bedroom for 2 people with a balcony overlooking the mountains. Please be mindful though as it is a shared bnb. It is perfect if you don’t mind sharing common spaces or meeting new people from all over. Overall great experience, I would come back to stay here again.

This is such a beautiful stay by an amazing couple… They go above and beyond for you! Their place you will not be sorry!!! From the private views you get from there beautiful property, too they’re extremely comfortable beds, amenities, made to order breakfast and all the little touches. This is a little slice of heaven.

Great for me & my guests one night stay, room has lots of space and easy parking lot! Area has doggy bags and lots of space for animals :-) The bed was super comfy and clean, and super helpful staff & front desk

I had a wonderful experience I will cherish forever. Elizabeth and Felix and wonderful people and enjoyed getting to know them so much.

Ricky and her husband were amazing hosts! Amazing breakfasts! Great recommendations for restaraunts and things to do. Made us feel right at home. Gave us our space; but, was fun and social and great stories. We look forward to coming back soon!

We really enjoyed our stay. Joe was very nice and responded quickly. I would stay there again.

This remote getaway is just what I needed! The owners have thought of everything to make guests comfortable. On top of they they are extremely likable and wonderful hosts. At first I thought the price was high but after my stay there it’s clear that it was worth every penny. I Will be going back here! 💜💜

This is the best place we could have stayed. The location was perfect for the places we were visiting. The host was super helpful and accommodating to our schedule. She even checked in to see if we were ok on the day we were returning late. Very nice breakfasts, a great way to start the day. Comfortable with everything you needed. Host was great to talk with over breakfast and after our days adventure. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay there in the future.

I didn't actually stay at this Airbnb because I decided to drive straight through to my destination instead of stopping of the night. However, the host was fantastic about checking in regularly in anticipation of my arrival. They made sure they would be there even though I was slated to check around 8:30pm. Even though I informed them I would not be staying, I really appreciated the thoughtfulness and how proactive they were in making sure I could check in.

Very beautiful and peaceful historic old house

Beautiful home, clean with great views. Would most definitely recommend no issues whatsoever! Amanda was awesome & very responsive for a last minute booking and flexible, check-in hours.

We had a wonderful stay with Veronica. The place is Victorian styled with well appointed, furniture, and decorations. It was very clean and comfortable. Veronica and her husband were wonderful hosts. We were treated two shrimp and grits for breakfast with homemade cornbread. Also, there were cookies for us when we arrived. There is a well stocked mini fridge with drinks. There's also coffee and tea available when you'd like. We went when it was not busy and had the place to ourselves. There are several bedrooms upstairs, so it would be ideal for a group, a few couples, a family, or just a getaway for two. We had delightful conversation with both of them as we ate our breakfast. The property is located close to the train. There are restaurants and coffee shops nearby. There's also a grocery store down the road. We will definitely be back to visit and stay with Veronica.

Clean and comfortable space, great shower. On my last night there the other guests were up very late talking but not the hosts fault. The bedrooms are right next to each other so sound really travels. Great location and the other guest was very quiet. The front glass door sticks a little, handle opens easiest when turned up instead of down like normal - so at first wasn't sure how to get to the keypad and accidentally rang doorbell instead. But I figured it out in a few minutes. Overall a fine stay.

The space was cute and comfortable. Amy, the hostess, was wonderful! She made delicious breakfasts while I was there and was welcoming.

was a great place to stay. recommending to all friends and family. will definitely book again on future Raton journeys!
