We were very fortunate that someone had just cancelled their reservation at Casa Blanca when we called only two days before our journey. Phoebe was nice enough to hold the room for us while we made sure we could book our bargain airfare to Albuquerque. Bosque del Apache had been on our "must-visit" list for years, and staying at Casa Blanca made our stay unforgettable. Phoebe makes the B&B hum with delicious breakfasts, accomodations, and suggestions about where to eat and other sites to see. There's an abundance of resource guides and books for guests to borrow, even binoculars to use! Phil, the former Manager of Bosque del Apache NWR, is an excellent resource for visiting Bosque. These days he indulges his passion for carving gorgeous wooden bowls. I couldn't resist buying one! Like our stay at Casa Blanca, it will give me happy memories for years.

We have been going to the Casa Blanca for our annual bird watching for years. It is a perfect location, gracious hosts, wonderful breakfast. What could be better, up at dawn to watch the bird fiy out - Phoebe has hot coffee and mugs ready to go, back by 8:30 for a wonderful hot breakfast. Spend the day at the Bosque or travel to points of interest, ready for the fly in at dusk! Just 7 miles from the Bosque. Home living - spend time reading in the living room, reviewing your pictures of the day! Oh yes, and her homemade cookies that sit on the kitchen table. It is very enjoyable. Highly recommend it to everyone.

What a delightful, relaxing place to spend a night or two - maybe even more. This historical building houses a wonderful bed and breakfast. The minute you drive in to their parking area you feel like you're at home. Our room was the Heron room with a queen size bed and a large ADA equipped bathroom. There is a private entrance to this room with a ramp. The tub is a whirlpool with shower and grab bars all around. The hosts are very accommodating and serve a wonderful, delicious breakfast. It is close to the Bosque del Apache for anyone interested in birding and wildlife. We plan to return.

This bed and breakfast is small(3 rooms) but has lovely family atmosphere in the adobe dwelling from the 1800's. The owners are extremely knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife preserve(Bosque del Apache) and are more than willing to share.
We wanted to go out for early birding and Phoebe prepared a to-go snack of home baked goodies and hot coffee in thermal mugs to take with us. We then were able to return later and eat her lovely homemade breakfast.
The place was very quiet, clean and nice,and the food was plentiful and tasty. There is a lovely private back patio if one wants to sit out and soak up the SW sun. There is also an unexpected plus of beautiful hand turned wood pieces done by Phil Norton that are available for sale at very reasonable prices.
Would highly recommend the place.
