Vineyard Way Casita is a restored adobe with approximately 400 sq ft of indoor living space. It is located in the Historic Downtown area of Bernalillo. It is reported to have been built in the 1880's by the infamous builder Abenicio Salazar and was the first doctor's office in town. We're walking distance to restaurants, unique shops/art galleries/ grocery stores, the Rail Runner & shuttles to two casinos. Casita is a day's drive to many scenic byways including Santa Fe, Taos, Corrales, Jemez, the Sandia Mountains including the world famous tramway; fishing, golf, hiking, biking, the Albuquerque Zoo & Botanical Park, vineyards, breweries, the world renowned balloon park & so much more! Cozy & convenient is how former guests have described the casita.

The casita is very cozy, quaint, functional and quiet. Due to the thick adobe walls, it stays cool in the summer & warm in the winter.

Our comfortable and convenient casita has all new appliances, a heater/refrigerated air combo, hard wood floors, tiled floors in both kitchen and bathroom. It has on demand hot water, a 4 burner electric stove/oven and full refrigerator.

The casita is located just off Main Street, also known as Route 66, Highway 85 and State Road 313. It is quiet, safe and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, parks, the recreation center & the Rail Runner. The Rail Runner will take you to Santa Fe, Albuquerque, the International Airport, Los Lunas & Belen; not to mention the numerous Indian Casinos along the way! Vineyard Way Casita's prime location offers day trips to the Sandia Mountains, seven Indian Pueblos, historic sites and Scenic ByWays, which can take you to Jemez Pueblo & Jemez Springs or Taos and back within a day!

The world famous Range Cafe, is across the street as is Silva's Saloon that has been in continuous operation since the 1930's. Several movies have been shot in its location adding to its allure, history and colorful past! Camino Real Antiques, located just down Main Street, offers 6000 sq ft of treasures, including Native American artifacts and Western memorabilia.

This is the PERFECT place to stay to enjoy Las Fiestas de San Lorenzo in August, the New Mexico Wine Festival over Labor Day weekend and to experinece the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta held in October! The seasonal beauty of New Mexico as well as the stunning backdrop of the Sandia Mountains await you in this cozy adobe casita, offering you an authentic taste of the Land of Enchantment.

Cute studio casita close to Albuquerque!
We had a great time in the Albuquerque area for the Balloon Fiesta and Annular Solar Eclipse! This cute casita was perfect for my husband and I! Fawn sent great instructions for checking in and was very responsive to our request to check out a little later, which allowed us some time to rest after an early morning going to the Balloon Fiesta! There were some nice snacks waiting for us in the casita, which were very much appreciated during our car rides around the area. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends and I would stay again.

A wonderfully relaxing casita at a VERY affordable price!
We found this casita to be very comfortable and well appointed. It is not a large space, but the furnishing and decor have come together to create a warm and engaging place to stay. Everything was very clean and in great condition, and Fawn, her son, and the folks "next door" were helpful and attentive to any needs we had. We highly recommend this casita and plan to stay again. Definitely check out the Range Cafe across the street, and enjoy the proximity of Albuquerque and Santa Fe so nearby.

Cute adobe casita near everything
We spent a week in this great casita near Albuquerque/Santa Fe. The train station was only a few minutes walk from the casita and runs to both cities. We took it into Santa Fe for the farmers market and to shop at the Plaza. It is walking distance to a good eating place - "the Range". The place had everything we needed and was quiet, comfortable and cozy. Truly enjoyed it.

This was perfect for my husband and me. Quick 10 minute drive to Balloon Festiva. Bed comfy, full kitchen. Clean. Quiet. Lots of snacks and water in fridge. Lots of room for us. At least 2 great restaurants we walked to from the location. Definitely would come back.

Very close to Santa Fe and Albuquerque by car or The Rail Runner. so many sites to see! Do not miss Tent Rocks! Icredibly gorgeous! The owner, Fawn is a peach and available anytime! Thanks Fawn for making this darling Casita so cozy and affordable!

All the Ambience of a quintessential casita was on the Exterior!
This casita was a good size for 2 people, however it lacked in the kind of esthetics you want went traveling i.e. the rich flavor of the culture. Instead we got a vibe of a hodgepodge of furniture (no comfortable chair for reading ) Bedding, linens and accessories were not at all quality goods. Disappointing for such a potentially lovely casita.

Cozy Casita
We were in Bernalillo to attend a wedding and were able to have a long weekend for it. We stayed in this charming casita, and were so happy to have found such a clean, cozy, and quiet place to stay. It was so quaint and comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare a meal should we want to and the bathroom and shower was nicely tiled and stocked. We walked to the Range Cafe for a delicious, southwest breakfast every morning. Our trip was filled with social engagements related to the wedding and we, regretfully, did not have the time to see more of the shops and activities within the local vicinity. We are definitely going to return for a leisurely stay without time restraints and responsibilities. The owner, Fawn, assured us she was available for anything we needed and was so hospitable and gracious. I can't wait to return.

Casita Stay
My husband and I just returned from a trip to New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. It was our first time using VRBO and I thought I'd give it a try. I've always wanted to visit NM and stay in an Adobe bldg. to fully "experience" the Land of Enchantment so we stayed in Fawn's Authentic Adobe Casita rental for three nights. Wonderful experience!!!!! We had everything we needed, including a fun welcoming basket of wine and snacks. We had a car rental, but loved using the rail runner when visiting the Santa Fe area (train depot is very close by and easy to use). We took walks around town each day, ate at the Range Café (excellent food), plus there is a Denny's and KFC for something quick while on the go. We enjoyed ourselves immensely! We felt very safe. The people around this quaint little town were friendly and helpful. Fawn was such a joy to meet and very attentive to our needs. Her talented son has an art shop next door to our casita and introduced himself right away and welcomed us. Honestly, it was like having family nearby. The breathtaking views of the Sandia Mountains in the background made Bernalillo the perfect start to our travel adventure! We would highly recommend this adobe casita to anyone who is traveling as a couple or alone. We hope to go back there again at some point. Loved our time there! Thanks Fawn!!!!!!

Grocery was a handy walk. Good restaurant was a handy walk. Place was well enough and simply appointed. Could use some soft seating - but it just wasn’t a big deal. One hiccup with the front door getting jammed, but a quick text and it was handled. With a sense of humor by all.
