Fireside Rest

Great weekend

First the bullet points. Amazing, friendly hosts. Lovely garden. Level parking spot. 50 and 30 amp electric available as well. Tight driveway that we had to back down, so if you aren't comfortable doing that be warned.

Had a wonderful time visiting with them and listening to Neil's stories about his firetrucks and antique cars, and taking a tour of Mary Ann's garden.

Looking forward to staying there again next time we are going through Albuquerque.

What a blessing

This is a great place to stay, absolutely beautiful view of the mountain. Nice quiet and private location on a dead end road. Owners were very nice and courteous. A wonderful place to stop and “ recharge our battery’s”!

Beautiful view and friendly couple

Absolutely loved it here. Awesome scenery with the mountain and only a short drive to the trails. They are a super friendly and knowledgeable couple. We enjoyed talking with them in their garden. They’ve traveled a lot and we learned a few things from them. Plenty of space and hook ups were a plus! Thank you you guys! Our favorite spot so far

Great place!

Our first time using Boondockers and we loved it! Our start was short as we got there in the early evening and left in the early morning. This place has plenty of shade and power for the hot summer nights. Nice neighborhood located right by the mountain and away from the hustle and bustle of Albuquerque but close enough to explore or grab a bite to eat. We will definitely keep them in mind for a future stay.

Thank you!

Beautiful!

Very beautiful and peaceful rest along our journey. We're so grateful for hosts like these.

Awesome Location, Awesome Hosts

The Sandia Mountain over 10,000 ft in elevation is the backdrop for this lovely location. Wish we weren’t just passing thru, we would have loved to explore more of the area. Our hosts were friendly, warm and very accommodating. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Beautiful stop in the mountains

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here at fireside rest. It’s easy to get in and out and the hosts were kind and accommodating. Their place is just beautiful with wonderful views of the mountains and we had a great time visiting and getting to know them. We would definitely stay here again if we pass through Albuquerque!

Exceptional hosts and properly!

Our hosts could not have been more welcoming! Their property and garden are amazing. We enjoyed an evening in their garden and an amazingly quiet night. We would definitely stay here again. Oh and the view of the Sandia mountains wasn’t bad either 😎

Beyond expectations

This was an awesome stay. The OBriens are so warm and welcoming. I would stay here again in a heartbeat

Beautiful place

The place was beautiful. Very nice and easy access. Thanks.

Beautiful, peaceful gardens

Our hosts were very gracious. They were very welcoming friendly and fun to chat and catch up on RV stories. They have a peaceful beautiful garden in their yard, at the base of Scandia mountain and easy access to interstates. Thank you very much and hope to see you down the road.

Restful and relaxed stay

The hosts are very kind and hospitable. The spot was nice and level. Their garden is beautiful, we really enjoyed chatting with the hosts while listening to the bubbling fountain. We were only supposed to stay for two nights, but high winds prevented us from moving on. Our hosts graciously offered us to stay an additional two nights, which we were thankful for. It’s about a 20 minute drive to downtown from this location. The views are gorgeous from their house, mountains on one side, desert valley on the other. I highly recommend this host and would love to stay here again! They were very nice to my two dogs :)

Wonderful hosts, Great views

We had a terrific and comfortable stay at Fireside Rest! We especially enjoyed getting time to chat with our host in her garden and our pup getting to explore while we visited!!
Will look forward to a return trip in the future!!

Quick stop

We stopped over just a quick one night stay. Host were awesome in providing a spot where we did not have to unhook our tow vehicle. Would stay again when in the area.

Quiet & comfortable

Wonderful hosts in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the privacy and peace as much as conversation.

Nice people, good location

Had a great stay, hosts were helpful and friendly.

Wonderful stop!

We had a wonderful stay at Neil2mao!. Great conversation and really enjoyed discussing our common firefighting interests and seeing Neil's fire engine restoration projects. A great, safe and comfortable place to stay. Thank you!

Fellow Firemen

Wonderful hosts. Enjoyed getting to know them over lunch. Great place to park in a very nice neighborhood. We visited Old Town and the Nuclear Museum. Highly recommend.

2 days in ABQ

Fireside rest is a fantastic location. The hosts could not have been more accommodating. Beyond level parking and such, the views are incredible. Would recommend to anyone passing thru ABQ.

A perfect oasis!

Neil & Mary were simply the best hosts imaginable! They made us feel like family, and their home and property is set up beautifully for RVing guests! They have 2 long, level, gravel driveways, each of which could probably accommodate 2 or 3 RVs!

We had a bit of a snafu the day before and they even let us stay an extra night so we would have more time to see a bit of Albuquerque. As RVers themselves, they completely understood the issues we had had, and were sympathetic and understanding! We definitely want to come back through Albuquerque again, and hope we can stay with them again! They were awesome!

If I were rating stars, I'd give them a perfect 10!!

Super Hosts

We so enjoyed our stay with these friendly and welcoming hosts. Had some great conversation over some delicious pie and ice cream one night. Great suggestions on things to do in the area also.

Safe Place

Great spot, wonderful hosts!

Our very first stop

Wonderful spot and amazing hosts.

Safe Haven on a Snowy Night

Our first stay with Boondockers Welcome. We must be doing this snowbird thing wrong because we found ourselves driving our trailer through Albuquerque
on a snowy evening. Fireside Rest provided a safe place to rest for our family after an extended travel day. Our hosts were very flexible even when our arrival time became later than expected. Our host even came to meet us in the road (in the dark, in the snow, mind you) and helped us back in to the driveway. There were electric hookups with a small donation requested if used. The neighborhood was beautiful and if we were to have stayed longer, we would have loved to take a stroll through.

Thank you again, safe travels, and God bless!

Welcoming

We are so grateful to have been able to stay here in Albuquerque. Our hosts were very sweet to take time to chat with us. I appreciate when people will take the time and patience to converse with my social little boys. I highly recommend this location. We got a warm welcome when we arrived. Our children enjoyed the fresh homemade cookies our host had waiting for them! We are extremely grateful!

A trip back in time...

So grateful for these hosts who continued to welcome others who share their love of travel. They offer a beautiful place in a quiet area where a good night's rest is a gift.
A beautiful Garden, but due to the time of year in November, it was not in its glorious stage. But one only had to imagine it in your mind's eye to know what beauty it held.
Blessed be,
Juanita

Awesome people with great generosity.

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home. Albuquerque is dear to me and one reason is the people who live there. Loved the antique vehicles!

Hope to get to know you better in the future.

Thank you so much again.

Convenient in Albuquerque

What a lovely couple. I passed by the house at first and Neil2mao came out to the street and called to guide me back to her home. After a warm greeting and chat at a social distance I was made comfortable in a level driveway with electric provided. It's a nice walking neighborhood for a bit of exercise to stretch the legs. Next trip to Albuquerque, I hope to stay with them again and share more RVing stories.

Wonderful hospitality & Beautiful Views

This was my first Boondocker's Welcome stay and I was blown away by @Neil2mao's hospitality. Not only did they help us get settled in, but they brought us cookies, and gave us recommendations on what to do while we were there. They live in a beautiful neighborhood with views of mountains. Would definitely recommend this place!

Fabulous hosts

We had the most wonderful time with these hosts.

She gave us cookies upon our arrival, they were delicious!

We got to see their antique cars they are rebuilding and they gave us a ride in a 1920 Firetruck (and we did it socially distanced and with masks).

It was absolutely so fun.

They invited us to enjoy their garden in their backyard and the kids and I had a lovely time chatting in such a beautiful place.

They are fabulous guests and I hope we can cross paths again when the pandemic is better. Wonderful people

Gracious Hosts, Beautiful garden!

The spot is lovely with a view of the mountain! Our hosts were kind and amiable and have a lovely garden oasis that they were willing to share! There were also quick to respond to our request to stay with only a few hours notice. Close to the city but not in it, the location is perfect. Thank you!

Great spot, great host

The beautiful location near the base of Sandia Mountain could only be outdone by the warm hospitality of the generous and helpful hosts. Highly recommend.

Quick stop, but nice and glad for the space.

We only got to chat with our host for a moment as our schedules allowed, but were welcomed and given great directions ahead of time to get to their home. We hope to pass thru again sometime, hopefully with a little more time to socialize.

Wonderful Hosts and Property

We could not have had a more enjoyable time in Albuquerque. The hosts are warm and welcoming, providing full hookups, including Wi-Fi, if desired. I highly recommend this amazing spot.

Beautiful location and incredibly kind and welcoming hosts

We arrived later than expected and the hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. They were so welcoming to us and our children. We enjoyed talking to them so much while the kids played in their beautiful garden. They are located right at the base of the mountain in a safe neighborhood. We are so incredibly grateful to get to stay here. Thank you to our hosts so much for all your kindness!

Great hosts!

My entire family had a wonderful time at Fireside Rest. I think the kids will say this was one of the highlights of their trip. Great people and very accommodating. We loved this site!!!
