Albuquerque getaway

My daughter, granddaughter and I stayed at this wonderful property when we came to town to visit the zoo and the natural history museum. The property is convenient, spotless, adorable and we felt safe. The hosts thought if everything we might need and were very responsive.

Just stayed the night but it was a really cute well done property. The hot tub was nice after an 8 hour drive but bed was rather squeaky when someone turned over.

Fun, comfort and style in central ABQ

We loved our stay at Prickly Pear cactus! The check directions were clear and thorough and everything was easy and secure. There’s a park right near where lots of folks walk their dog. Its 10 mins to UNM and easy to downtown. Hot tub clean and great. Fun backyard vibes, great screen for movie watching, well stocked and super responsive hosts. Comfy beds, couch and great tub. Appreciated easy check out, and would stay again!

Great place, close to Old Town

We enjoyed our stay at Prickly Pear. The place was very clean and had nice amenities that other properties sometimes don't offer (like snacks at arrival, robes for the hot tub, waters in the fridge). The owners were very helpful and quick to answer any questions and checked in through email to make sure we had everything we needed.

Great spot and fine location

The home is in a central area that is convenient for almost every activity. There is a wonderful jogging/biking path that runs the length of the Rio Grande right next door—a great space for our pooch, too! There are security gates and helpful remote controls, and communicating with the owner was quick and helpful. A great hot tub on a very cold evening. The price point and no extra dog charge was an added bonus.

Stay in December

We loved this house! The location was great, right next to a park with a lot of trails and events in early December. The house has everything we needed for a 4 day stay, including a designated parking spot for our rental car and a hot tub. We would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable, Quiet and Cozy stay

Stayed 1 night while traveling with a pet. The house is very quiet despite being in a busy neighborhood. Did not hear any traffic or neighbors which made for a restful night. The home was clean and well organized. The hosts went above and beyond, providing a snack basket, and games. Overall a great stay.

Very nicely furbished home with cool amenities! The only item to look into - - in one of the bedrooms, the bed is very squeaky - - may need a new mattress! It's the room towards the back of the home.

Excellent experience all around

I highly recommend staying at Jon and Kendra’s Prickly Pear location - or any of their other properties. This place was nicely furnished and had every amenity you can imagine. It was very clean. We didn’t use the hot tub but it sure looked inviting. Check in and out couldn’t have been easier. Hosts responded quickly each time I had a question. The property felt very safe. Plenty of off street parking. The location is close to downtown with excellent restaurants. Also a manicured trail is at the end of the block if you’re into hiking or biking. The zoo and botanical garden are also just a short distance. This place will not disappoint. I would definitely go again.

Hot Tub and Chill

The home is excellent. Wonderful touches throughout. Used the hot tub every night. Home was very comfortable and perfect. Walking distance to the zoo and park was excellent. The surround neighborhood is pretty rough as far as some concerning seediness but that seems to just be how the biopark area is. The motorized gate at the entrance kept us feeling safe. Overall we very much enjoyed our time here.
