Little Bird Casita was too wonderful for words! Our hosts, David and Joanie, were extremely hospitable and communication was great. The casita was filled with beautiful art, giving us a sweet sense of the culture and history of the Southwest. Every little amenity was carefully incorporated into that lovely space. Little Bird was the perfect location for our base as we enjoyed Albuquerque and daily explored other NM cities. Some of our favorite discoveries were the New Mexico Museum of Geology & Mineral Resources, the Nuclear Museum, The Indian Pueblo Culture Museum (a must see! And, there is a nice restaurant there!), the Ice Cave and Bandera Volcano, the Sandia Peak Tramway, the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, the NM History Museum (and all things Santa Fe!), Taos shopping, White Sands National Park, Pistachioland, the Jemez Pueblo (gorgeous fall color and lovely local people!), Soda Dam, Battleship Park, Red Rock, Valles Caldera, the Petroglyph National Monument, The Back Country Trail, and hiking the mountain trails as well as the walking trail behind the casita! It was so nice to come back to the comfort and beauty of Little Bird at the end of each fun day. We highly recommend this VRBO. It could not have been more perfect!

Very clean, comfortable, well-appointed, spacious property with full kitchen and bathroom on each level. Pet-friendly. Quiet location, away from major traffic, but still accessible to major highways, attractions, shopping & restaurants. Host was very gracious, patient, and available when we had a question. We had a positive experience & would book again.

Nice 2-story with everything you need. Very clean, nice decor, spacious rooms m, w/d, & full kitchen. Nicely decorated. Very private on a large rural property with mature trees & quiet surroundings. Outside of town, but close to shopping center & restaurants. Definitely recommended!

Relaxing and clean

Trying to find the best seat in the house when there are so many best seats was my only dilemma. Do I enjoy my toast and tea on the back patio outside the kitchen or do I take it to the deck off the bedroom upstairs? David was attentive without being intrusive. We truly felt like we were alone on a ranch. The sunsets are gorgeous from this location and the accessibility to downtown is a breeze. We made three trips to The Sawmill for excellent meals, but if you prefer to cook at the Casita, it's set up for it. The Casita is clean as a whistle and everything is coordinated beautifully. A lovely stay!

Cute little bird.

This casita is described as a 2 bedroom and it is not. There is a bedroom upstairs and a pullout sofa downstairs with no door. The coffee maker was filthy and the countertop was dirty. I recommend bringing some Clorox wipes. The decor was darling and the art work is beautiful. It was nice to see all the stars ⭐️ at night.

Short and sweet

We arrived later in the evening after dark so the owner of the property came out of his adjacent main home next the VRBO to direct us since it was difficult seeing. He seemed nice. We left around 5:30 the following morning before the same came up so obviously we did not stay long but everything was clean and as expected so no problems there. It did a great job of serving us for what we needed it for.
