The house is just far enough off the road that it is incredibly quiet and the house is BEAUTIFUL. Also tons of native artwork that she deals with. The rooms are massive, ours had a queen bed, Jacuzzi tub, glassed in shower, fireplace, two sinks. Outside there is a quest house which is also available for rent and a old fashioned brick oven. In short we loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone and if we are in the area will certainly be staying again.

The inn is beautifully decorated and full of character; it's located in a serene and rustic area only 20 or 30 minutes from downtown Albuquerque, and it's high enough to get snow! The views were lovely, the bed was comfortable, and we loved standing on the balcony and admiring the mountains. We were helped by two employees--one whose name I didn't learn and another named Abby. Both were so kind and knowledgeable. They served us two great breakfasts and gave us great advice about good places to spend our time in Albuquerque. We're looking forward to coming back.

If you're looking for a sweet retreat under the stars, Sunny Mellow is the place to be. This was…read moreour first glamping experience and we were absolutely spoiled! Sunny Mellow has a few glamping experiences situated in its own little gated community. We stayed in the "Yoga Yurt" and had A/C in it as well. There is nothing fake about Sunny Mellow. Paths are dimly lit by solar powered lamps, the sky at night is so clear and dark, you can truly see the stars shine bright. NOTE: PATHS ARE NOT PAVED! The outdoor bathroom and shower is a bit of a walk, be prepared to bring your own lamp at night.

Downtown Historic B&B has been on my list since their open house last year. Finally, I got my…read morechance and it did not disappoint. It would be best just to give a play by play of our stay. Once we booked we arrived we followed the instructions on our confirmation. It gave us a code to a secure box where we were to find the rest of the details for our stay. It felt a lot like a scene from Clue. Fun! Inside looks exactly how you'd hope it to look based on the outside. It's filled with authentic built in furniture in solid sturdy wood. Ours was the Garden Room which was more of a suite than a room. In addition to the queen bed, there is also a separate room (like a living room) with a pull out couch. The living room has a door that leads out to a balcony that looks over the entire property. From there you can see a huge courtyard with a fireplace and luxurious lounge chairs, hammocks and benches. There is a pond, or more of a brook that runs through the back courtyard. I never determined if there were fish. The entire setting is a place for anyone but particularly those who want to take a few days to catch their breath. I sure did. In the morning the DH B&B served homemade quiche, multigrain pancakes, piping hot coffee and juice. If you are going to be in Albuquerque and are doing some comparisons, this one is more than just clean; it's delightful. I am a local. Even so, I'll be treating myself to this again..and again.

They also make all of the bathroom products in the rooms. Central location, easy to get to any of the main freeways and super close to the airport. I highly recommend trying Groves which is a 2 minute walk away for to go coffee, sweets or food. Very trendy little place with amazing homemade English muffins. Definitely worth supporting over the chain places in town. It made for a unique travel experience.

The wood fire hot tub soak was amazing and I was gifted with seemingly billions of stars. The property has room for roaming and meditation (including a chapel that had painting-like views). I can't say enough about this special place.

We stayed at Desert Harbor for 5 days, and had breakfast and dinner served by Raymond (the fabulous owner of Desert Harbor). The food was amazing, although we knew what we were going to get as we were given a menu to pick our meals prior to arriving, the actual food was so much better than what we imagined from the menu! I love that we can pick exactly what we want to eat, as well as accommodating to any dietary restrictions. The portion size was super generous as well! During our stay, we highly enjoyed our interactions with Raymond, he is super polite and thoughtful! We had plenty of privacy during our stay, and highly enjoyed taking our outdoor showers! In our 5 day stay, we did not get bored of things to do, never did we leave the property once to explore ABQ or Santa Fe. This place is truly a restful, rejuvenating retreat! The wood burning hot tub was probably one of the most special moments for us there as we got to be outside in the dark watching the stars. If you are considering a place to getaway, to rekindle your marriage, or a place to just find yourself and refresh, Desert Harbor is definitely the place! After this second experience, my wife and I have decided that we will be making an annual trip out here as our little marriage retreat!

From the moment I arrived, I felt like a welcomed guest in someone's beautiful home--because that's exactly what it is. The rooms are cozy, clean, and full of thoughtful touches that show how much care goes into running this B&B. Breakfast was a highlight each morning--delicious, homemade, and often shared in great conversation with other guests and the host. Speaking of which, the host is kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone has a memorable stay. Whether you're looking to hike, explore Albuquerque, or just slow down and recharge, Loba Luna is the perfect base. I left feeling rested, inspired, and already planning my next visit.
