Desert Skyline Getaway Single-Story 3 Kings | House in Albuquerque
5 Bedroom House in Cibola Addition, Albuquerque
Summary:
Wake up to hot air balloons drifting over the valley at this 5-bedroom Sandia foothills retreat, minutes from Balloon Fiesta Park & Ride locations. Sleeping up to 9 adults, it offers room to gather, relax, and enjoy sweeping views from the shaded patio. During Balloon Fiesta, sip Breville espresso as balloons rise over the city, then explore nearby trails, play air hockey or Super Nintendo, and unwind at sunset.
The Space:
★ ALBUQUERQUE BALLOON FIESTA STAYS
Here for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta? You can start the experience before you even leave home. During Fiesta, step onto the patio at dawn to watch dozens of balloons drift over the valley below.
The home is less than 15 minutes from two official Balloon Fiesta Park & Ride locations and just over 20 minutes from Balloon Fiesta Park parking. Brew an espresso before your early-morning departure, then come home to plenty of room to relax, play, and watch the sunset over the Rio Grande valley.
★ VIEWS + OUTDOOR LIVING
Perched in Albuquerque’s Sandia foothills, Desert Skyline Getaway gets the best of both directions: Sandia Mountain views from the front and sweeping views across the Rio Grande valley from the back.
The large, shaded back patio is one of our favorite places in the house. Bring your coffee outside in the morning, settle into the hammock in the afternoon, or stay for one of Albuquerque’s beautiful high-desert sunsets.
Outside you’ll also find:
• Hammock
• Cornhole
• Giant Jenga
• Outdoor seating
• Room to relax and enjoy the view
★ 5 BEDROOMS | UP TO 9 ADULTS
The home has five comfortable bedrooms—including three king bedrooms—giving families and groups space to settle in without feeling on top of one another.
Primary Suite — King bed + ensuite bathroom with rainfall shower + large ventilated walk-in closet
Bedroom 2 — King bed
Bedroom 3 — King bed
Bedroom 4 — Two full-size beds, comfortable for adults or children
Bedroom 5 / Office — Twin daybed + dedicated workspace with desk, office chair and task lighting
A Pack ’n Play is also provided for families traveling with an infant.
The home has sleeping space for more, but occupancy is capped at 9 adults for everyone’s comfort with 2.5 bathrooms. Children under 12 are included in the reservation guest count but do not count toward the 9-adult maximum.
★ KITCHEN + DINING
The kitchen is one of the highlights of the home: spacious, beautifully appointed, and well stocked, with high-end appliances, generous prep space, a large granite island with bar seating, and beautiful views to enjoy while you cook.
Coffee people, we have you covered: there’s both a Breville espresso machine and a traditional drip coffee maker—perfect for fast caffeination before an early Balloon Fiesta departure. Tea drinkers haven’t been forgotten either; an electric kettle is ready for your morning cup.
The large wooden dining table seats up to 10, with room for the whole group to sit down together for dinner, games, or a leisurely meal.
★ ROOM TO GATHER, PLAY + RELAX
When you’re not out exploring Albuquerque, there’s plenty to do at home.
Two gas fireplaces create cozy gathering spaces, while entertainment for kids and adults includes:
• Air hockey
• Super Nintendo pre-loaded with games
• Board games
• Children’s toys
• Cornhole
• Giant Jenga

For movie nights, the main living area has a 55-inch TV with Roku, soundbar and subwoofer. Sign into your own streaming subscriptions and make yourself at home.
★ WORK FROM THE FOOTHILLS
Need to fit some work into your trip? Fast WiFi runs throughout the home, and the fifth bedroom doubles as a dedicated office with a desk, office chair and task lighting.
It’s a comfortable setup for remote work—and particularly handy for catching up between festival days or extending an Albuquerque stay.

Guests have full use of the three-car garage, including a garage door opener, plus driveway parking for three additional vehicles.
