Charming Property!
This place is absolutely charming! It's clear the hosts have put a lot of effort into making this home attractive and comfortable for guests. It is very clean, so well decorated and they even provided snacks (something we have never seen before in a vacation rental). Bed was also very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub as well. Also appreciate that they allow pets!

Delightful home that is surprisingly spacious. We traveled with two dogs and having a fenced area outdoors was wonderful! We will be back as we have business in Albuquerque.

Great little casita
Second time to stay here and plan to stay here again. Parts of the neighborhood are a little more transitional than preferred but as long as you don’t like long walks after dark, it’s fine.

Lovely Casita
We arrived here after a long drive. It’s just as described in the listing. It’s in a quiet area even though it’s close to the interstate. We loved the patio and especially the hot tub. It’s perfect for a single person or couple. The host is quick to respond to any of your questions or needs! We would stay here again when traveling in the area.

Hidden gem!!
This place was awesome!! Great decor and attention to detail all the way down to the silverware!! Wish we could have stayed longer because the place was so clean and comfortable. After 9 hours on the road, the spa felt amazing and was already warmed up! So many nice touches here, a true hidden gem!

Welcoming casita
The casita was very cute and convenient to the freeway. It was very clean and the host provided all of the necessary items needed for our stay. The back patio was fenced in and was a fun space for relaxing. The neighborhood is in the process of transitioning, and some houses are in good repair and others need a lot of work.

Vegas road trip
My husband and I arrived after dark and communication with host was good. Property was as expected with some very thoughtful extras. Only very minor complaint would be the floors were sticky from the pine cleaner used to mop with. Minor issue for sure. The location is very nice . Bed was super comfy with nice king size pillows that weren’t too soft. We’d definitely stay here again!

Perfect in every way
The house was exactly as described. Very clean, good location and lots of privacy. The outdoor area was very nice as well, we enjoyed the hot tub very much. We had colder weather so we didn't use the grill, but it was there.The extras and all the attention to detail the owners provided just put it over the top. We would definitely like to visit again.

I wanna go back!
From start to finish, my stay at the Desert Chic Casita ("DDC") was fantabulous! This visit was for my 59th birthday, so I had high hopes and expectations. My main goal was to check off a hot air balloon ride from bucket list. (And that was amazing) But having the DDC as my landing space made the trip 500% more special. Look at the pictures - the actual space was even better. The attention to detail - the labeling of the light switches; the overhead lighting switch right by the bed; the snack collection; the robes for the hot tub - all made my visit to the DDC memorable and just what I wanted. The hosts were communicative and helpful. The location (less than 15 mins from the airport) was excellent and convenient to the highways, restaurants and other Albuquerque attractions. I would visit again tomorrow if I could. 5 stars is not enough.

As cute as the pictures and a thousand times more comfortable. My mom and I felt like we had booked a room at the spa instead of a VRBO. The hosts were super communicative and made sure everything was going well each step of our stay. Location was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go, too. We will definitely be back!
