superb!

We traveled to the area of Bernalillo to pick up some material for a bath remodel. The casita in Placitas was the perfect answer to our needs. Just a few minutes east of our destination, the Casa Pajarito made for a quiet relaxing spot to decompress at the foot of the Sandia Mountains. The fall colors were spectacular and unexpected April snow was a nice surprise. The owner was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended!

Great Property and Host

The property has fantastic views and was exactly as described. Judy provided everything we could have possibly needed, and then some. Not a thing to complain about. It is a quiet location and the area has good hiking and mountain biking.

Placitas Casita

This casita is a great place for a restful, working several days. It is well situated to visit the sights yet quiet and away from the urban bustle of ABQ. I recommend it to all travelers, whether new to New Mexico or a seasoned visitor, like me. Tom

About the host

Hosted by Judy Quick

I am a native Texas girl having grown up outside of Austin Texas. I have always had a love of both the mountains and the ocean. And, fortunately, for the last 20+ years I have divided my time between two beautiful homes--one in Southern California near the ocean, and the other in Placitas, New Mexico, in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. I am a former educator, and for the past 20+ years I have owned my own K-12 educational sales company....at one time covering the 6 states of California, Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. Today, I have cut way back but still do business in New Mexico, and Southern California.

Why they chose this property

I was drawn to the small village of Placitas because it offered a beautiful, quiet, secluded rural setting in the mountains but was located conveniently between the two cities of Albuquerque and Santa Fe. It offered serenity, peacefulness, and a spiritual feeling that I had never experienced before. The historic village was also the home to a herd of over 300 wild mustangs that freely roamed the area. On my first drive out on a cold, snowy day in January, I realized that I had found the place to call home.

What makes this property unique

I think I first fell in love with the area of Placitas, and then when I experienced the charm and ambiance of a Santa Fe Style home, it was a combination that could not be denied. The views through the windows were magnificent and the mountains were so close I felt like I could touch them. I loved the privacy of being located on 6 acres of land and being located at the end of a one lane road bordered by an old wooden fence. I love the quiet and peacefulness, and the serenity that the property offers, along with the abundance of wildlife and nature.
