Absolutely loved this place, it’s beautiful. Could use a heater on the back porch lol it was windy and chilly most days but we survived lol. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here, it’s quiet and the scenery was pretty. Would go stay again in warmer weather. Thank you, Tina

Wonderful, as usual. Even cleaner than in past visits, as if that were possible. We get together for accountability sessions - and to tour the area - semiannually. There is just so much to see and do in this area. Skyline makes a wonderful home base.

Not as expected
Not for me. There were cobwebs throughout the house almost all the utensils were filthy. And the chicken process seems dated to me 95% of all the properties I ever rented have a keypad entry not a key and if they do have a key it is right there next to the lock not on the other side of the house. The second to the last day we were there Brad decided they needed to pick up the trash which should have been a 5-minute ordeal but why there he decided to do Spa maintenance so he was there for over 30 minutes. And then when we proceeded 3 hours later to get into the hot tub and we had severe skin irritations. Not sure about you but I would not want a person for 30 minutes at my rental on my vacation.

Lodge in Cedar Crest
The communication with Brad was very timely & provided everything we needed to make our stay fabulous. The lodge was prepared for us as we checked very late. Brad anticipated needs & did not disappoint. The lodge is surrounded by woods & fantastic views. It was warm, comfortable for our whole family. Kitchen was stock to cook meals. Hot tub was wonderful in the snow! Close to restaurant & groceries & hiking. We will be back !

Great Albuquerque Getaway
Wonderful log cabin set in the hills just outside of Albuquerque. Wonderful view enhances sitting out on the porch. Little light pollution provides for excellent star gazing. The cabin was very clean and well stock with essential items. Great hiking and other outdoor adventures in the area. The host is very attentive to your needs, provides ample literature of things to do and is quick to respond to messages. A wonderful place that will enhance any vacation to the Albuquerque area.

FABULOUS
We've stayed in the cabin before and loved it. It did not disappoint this time. Can't tell you how nice it was to have enough bedrooms for our adult children. I feel like it goes without saying that it was clean. It was beyond just that. It was charming, comfortable, cozy (love the woodsy decor), and just all around WONDERFUL!!

Aesthetically pleasing, well-maintained, beautiful art and phenomenal deck overlooking the mountains. Rooms are spacious and comfortable beds. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the living room was very comfortable. we spent most of our time on the deck overlooking the mountains. It is the best VRBO rental we have ever used.

Because place in a great setting
What a beautiful place in a fantastic location. Peace and quiet while near anything you need. The log house is much nicer than the pictures show and is also very well equipped for anything you might need. Every room has its own remote for A/C so between that and numerous blanket options, everyone is spoiled. The hot tub is totally private and wonderful. The grounds are beautiful all on their own. Can’t wait to come back.

I’ve stayed at many VRBOs over the years, and this property is completely one of my favorites! It was so comfortable for everyone in our family and relaxing on the deck is just wonderful. I have family nearby and will definitely stay here every time we come to visit. It truly has absolutely everything you could need. The host is also fantastic and answered all of my questions promptly. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
