About this cabin rental

Our historic cowboy cabin originating from the Pecos Forest in 1860 was rebuilt in Placitas in 2009. The property around the cabin has many famous scenes from various different shows, including the series Breaking Bad! Besides the cabin being a one-of-a-kind property, the exterior is pretty awesome as well! Featuring a large pool and large courtyard, it gives for one of the most unique stays here in NM. Located perfectly for a quick commute to Alb or Santa Fe! POOL IS SEASONAL May 1- Aug 20

We really like the location of the cabin. It was about 20-30 minutes to the places we wanted to see in Albuquerque. The view is pretty. After reading the other reviews we knew to expect to wait before we got our check in information. We got it around 3:00 before our 4:00 check in. The lock to the door is a bit tricky. The bathroom door is also hard to get open once inside. The sink is old and hard to turn. As others have said there is no WiFi. There is DVD player. The weather was cooler and the space heater inside kept us warm. Bed is comfortable. Toaster oven, microwave, and Keurig worked. I would bring water to drink as there are a lot of signs about conserving due to it being well water. Could have had nice amenities for the price.

The cabin is pretty wonderful, very rustic and unique. Bed and bath linens were high quality. Communication was a little off. The message with access info is supposed to arrive an hour before check in. It didn't. If I hadn't run into a worker on the property to request check in info, I might not have received it.The access lock is fussy, there were no instructions for that. Other rentals are on site. So parking became a free for all.

This is a great property and a great place to stay! When booking though realize that communication with this host is done through vrbo. You can book on expdia, but just realize that you have to create a vrbo account to get any communication about this particular property. The pool is excellent, well kept, and clean. That said, you can NOT check in early. They only allow check in AFTER 4 PM. SO DON'T bother to show up early. I hope this helps others when they book a stay here. The cabin is great , the pool is excellent, and the place is clean and quiet. If you wana enjoy a nice little hike i highly recommend "sandia cave and the man cave". Such a fun and unique hike in a cave. You shud bring a runners light or mechanic light to explore the cave easier.
