**Pets … Dogs Only**

Discriminating canines are invited to accompany their humans to La Vista for a special doggie rate of $25 per pet per night ( max $100 per pet per Visit). We will do our best to ensure that you and your human have plenty to wag about!

As a good boy/girl, please make sure:

Your humans do not abandon you inside La Vista while they go off and have fun. We can recommend doggie-camp options or companion visits to prevent this all-too-common tragedy.

Your human has been trained to take you to a proper outdoor location to complete your regular business in the dignified manner to which you are accustomed. And, that your human does the cleanup job for which they were so well designed.

Your human does not cause you to howl, bark, whimper, whine, and potentially face an embarrassing charge.

Your human remains leashed to you when anywhere outside the gate of La Vista since you’re not allowed off leash and would never have gone unless coerced.

Your human pays for any damage s/he causes you to inflict, as usually happens at home.

La Vista welcomes you for an enjoyable bit of panting and wagging, and invites you to sniff for a special treat upon check-in. La Arf at La Vista!

Beyond Our Expectations!
Absolutely lovely property. Great location with the neighborhood being lovely and quiet. The house was so beautifully decorated and comfy offering a number of outdoor seating areas. The amenities far exceeded the listing. The hostess/host were so generous with their time, providing us with restaurant tips and general information. We had a wonderful honeymoon! We throughly enjoyed our accommodations, the food and culture of Albuquerque and surrounding areas of New Mexico.

Best VRBO ever
We have stayed in VRBOs all over and this, by far is the best. The owners were very available. The property was beautiful and so organized. If you need it, they have it. The beds were luxuriously comfortable. There were amazing views from upstairs and downstairs. If I could take Nicolle and Robert back home with me to decorate my house I would. We will definitely be back and if you don’t choose this property when you come to Albuquerque, you’re missing out.

We have been to Albuquerque several times and this was our favorite property so far. The views of the mountains and the hot air balloons every morning are spectacular. Lots of amenities and bonuses throughout the house and the location is really convenient to some the things we enjoy most like Old Town and Boca Negra. Owners were very responsive and hospitable.

Fantastic views with the comforts of home
We had a short three-night stay and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The property location is great - we hiked Petroglyph NM and visited Old Town, and nothing seemed more than 10-15 mins away. Creature comforts are many, and everything was thoughtfully set up. The hosts are very communicative - we didn't have any issues but I'm sure they would respond quickly if any had occurred. All in all a great stay!
