There’s much more to Albuquerque, New Mexico, than ballooning. What the Sandria Mountains offer in terms of hiking and views, Old Town marches with its adobe architecture, cultural centers, and food. When you’re not watching for cranes at the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Reserve or tracking down Breaking Bad filming locations, you can recharge at one of Duke City’s dreamy villas. We’ve rounded up the best of the Airbnbs in Albuquerque.

See more photos A short walk from the center of Nob Hill, this 1927 log cabin feels like a piece of Albuquerque’s early history that you can actually spend time in. Built by one of the neighborhood’s original developers using whole logs from the Jemez Mountains, the house still carries that sense of craftsmanship—especially in the main living space, where massive vintage vigas stretch across the ceiling above leather seating and a large TV. With more than 4,000 square feet, there’s plenty of room to settle in, whether that’s in one of the four bedrooms (two kings, two queens) or in the extra nooks like the upstairs loft, which looks out toward the Sandia Mountains and doubles as a quiet spot to read or write.

See more photos This three-bedroom home puts you within walking distance of shops and restaurants, while still giving you quick access to I-40 for getting across the city. Old Town, the Sandia Peak Tram, and hiking trails are all just a short drive away. The house itself has been fully redone, with updated finishes and a layout that works well for a group or family. Most of the action, though, is out back: there’s a hot tub, a fire table with lounge seating, an outdoor kitchen, and a dining setup that makes it easy to spend entire evenings outside. Add in a putting green and space for games like cornhole, and it feels set up for long, relaxed hangouts. Indoors, you’ve got a mix of entertainment options including a foosball table, a retro-style arcade machine, and a large smart TV, along with a kitchen stocked for actual cooking rather than just the basics.
