Casa La Huerta - The Orchard House - Historic Adobe Home

Welcome to Casa La Huerta! This authentic, Northern New Mexico-style adobe home hosts guests in the residential Rio Grande district of Albuquerque’s verdant North Valley. Leave the car behind and walk to local favorites like Flying Star Café – an eclectic eatery with something for everyone.

Enjoy outdoor spaces at the front and back Casa La Huerta, overseeing 1/3 of an acre with beneficial native plant species landscaping and scented by sunflowers, lavender, and our small fruit orchard. When they’re in season, feel free to step outside and pick fresh fruit from the trees!

With its single level, no stairs, and senior friendly bathroom amenities, Casa La Huerta is especially popular with our retirement age guests. Our no pets policy means that those with pet allergies breathe easy and enjoy a comfortable stay.

Interstate freeway access is quick and easy here. Enjoy a quiet neighborhood that’s nevertheless conveniently located to many attractions of greater Albuquerque.

Walking paths, orchards, lavender fields, wine vineyards, open spaces, and horseback riding await you. Don’t forget to bring your bikes or hiking shoes: This area is a cyclists and walkers’ paradise!

AUTHENTIC ACCOMMODATIONS + LOCAL CONNECTIONS

The main section of Casa La Huerta was built in 1890, and the home has undergone several renovations since then. Now it presents a great combination of authentic, vintage, and modern with wood/brick floors, talavera tile in the kitchen and bath, heated bathroom flooring, and a retro-style Wedgewood range in the kitchen. Ideal for seniors, couples, couples with young children, and friend trips.

The privacy and comfort of our guests are paramount. Rest assured that this lovingly cared-for rental will be spotless upon your arrival. The adobe walls and fencing that surround the property assure your privacy.

Very special place
This is not your average VRBO. It is immaculate, stylish, spacious and comfortable! The property is large with a fantastic courtyard. There are security gates and it feels like a very private, secluded space. The decor is definitely New Mexico! Michael, the host, was helpful but not intrusive. We loved this stop! Not one complaint. Thank you for sharing!

Peaceful Oasis
We loved the outside patio area so much, the detailed landscape was so beautiful. The house was close to town but had a private feel to it. The bed was a little firmer than we like but it was still comfortable. We didn’t really cook, but it looked well equipped if people wanted to. We spent most of our time outside.

Balloon fiesta weekend
My husband, 6 yo daughter and I enjoyed our stay during a long weekend in Albuquerque for the balloon fiesta. The house had everything we needed and more, very clean and in a nice quite neighborhood. We loved being 20-30 minutes away from the fiesta and 15 minutes from downtown/the zoo/breweries/the petroglyph national park. I even got to watch a few hot air balloons from the back porch while enjoying my coffee on the last day. We would stay again if we come back!

Charming rural location and a hikers delight!
We couldn't believe our good fortune! We found we could hike in a preserve, a state park, and on rural trails right from this beautiful home. We also took walks to a nearby neighborhood hub with a cafe, book and other quality stores, and to dinner at an iconic New Mexican restaurant. All that and it's still only 15 minutes from Old Town. We will be back!

ABOVE AND BEYOND!!!
The title should speak volumes....this property and casa exceeded all expectations! From the moment you drive in to the little orchard (la huerta) and enter the gate into the yard, you have stepped into a perfect, quiet oasis that feels so far away from the hustle and bustle of ABQ!! The grounds are very well maintained and absolutely beautiful and serene!!! As soon as you walk into the casa you instantly feel at home and comfortable. It was IMMACULATE!!! So tastefully, yet simply, decorated with New Mexico sprinkled through and through! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner every night! Michael is a wonderful host/manager....kind, thoughtful, generous with his time, and "just right down the way" if need be. This is absolutely one of the best properties, out of dozens, that we have every stayed at and we can not wait until we return again next year! We are so appreciative that this wonderful little piece of NM is shared with the rest of us!!!

This was our first time using VRBO and what a pleasure it was. This home was perfect in every way. The grounds surrounding this home built in 1890 are just as gorgeous as the house itself. How nice to be in New Mexico and get the NM feel throughout. We'll be back again and again.

A Quiet Oasis in North Valley
Casa la Huerta was light and airy, spacious, and homey, with charming New Mexican accents throughout. It had a well-appointed kitchen, and there was plenty of hot water for baths and showers. The bedrooms were roomy and the mattresses comfortable - a must or both of us. Clearly, great care has been taken to ensure that guests have everything they need. Perhaps most importantly, we were impressed (and relieved) by how peaceful and quiet the house and neighborhood were. Our host, Michael, greeted us upon arrival, walked us through, and shared the wonderful history of the property. The outdoor spaces were lovely, even in late February - it's easy to imagine how beautiful it will be when everything is in bloom. Overall, our experience at Casa la Huerta was delightful, and whenever we're back in town we won't hesitate to make it our home again. Thank you, Michael!

Casa La Huerta is in a great location, and was a comfortable home base for our 11-day stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the gas fireplace especially appreciated as it was not warm weather. We'd love to relax outdoors in the garden and patio in warmer months!

Great Home In a Great Location
An older home modernized just enough to retain its character and be very comfortable at the same time. Set on a large lot with a private parking area and wonderful outdoor landscaping and spaces. Comfortable bed and very well equipped but not cluttered kitchen. Host meets you at property to make sure you are properly oriented, which is a nice touch. This is a "do again" VRBO for me.
