Elena's Sandia Sanctuary - An Irvie Home

Yes, the house is spectacular. The view is beautiful. However, check-in was not great. Never did get the front door keypad to work (battery was dead). Took us hours in the hot sun before we were able to get in. And that was only due to the fact that several of the back door latches were broken, so we finally just let ourselves in the back, and then used the garage door to go in & out for the rest of the stay. The rear balcony had several loose boards, and deck screws sticking up (which one of the girls cut her foot on, due to the fact that shoes are not allowed). Were finally able to communicate the problems with the property manager on the final day. Am not a fan of the "nickel & diming" the renters. Extra fees to use the hot tub, check-in early or stay an our later, etc. We've stayed in many VRBO's over the years, and never experienced all the extra fees

Great house

Wonderful week at the base of the Sandias in the old Elena’s land grant. At the edge of the reservation, we got to experience wildlife like hawks and bison. The house was wonderful and the host had everything we needed. Maybe the grill was a little small, but we managed. Will definitely consider staying here again.

This home was the most beautiful quiet annd PERFECT spot for or family to reunite for my daughter's college graduation! Our events were held in other locations but for the whole family to be able to come back home after events, to eat or relax! The home itself was stunning. The layout made it nice for separation! The views were spectacular and it was extremely easyvto check in and out of! Thank you for such a great stay!

Very comfortable! Well located, & very good amenities, supplies and features!
