Peter was such a gracious host. Helpful and informative, he made my stay easy. Great communication throughout. It was easy to get my 24ft Class C with a toad in and out.

Thanks to Peter and Darlene’s graciousness of opening up their beautiful property to us - we were able to enjoy a night in the city without nervousness of where we parked. Peter shared recommendations of nearby walking trails and food spots that we were hapy to check out (the new custard place .5 mile away was a nice treat!). We would be so happy to stay again at their oasis!

During our stay at Country Charm we were easily able to visit/explore Albuquerque, Petroglyph National Monument, downtown Santa Fe, Meow Wolf and Bandelier National Monument in a few short days. Peter and Darlene were gracious hosts. They met us as we arrived, guided me in to their lot. We appreciated the hospitality, thank you Country Charm in the City !

Peter and Darlene were great hosts, the location was very convenient, walking distance to stores and breweries and a quick Uber ride into downtown. if you follow Peter’s directions and enter from 4th it is an easy access to the parking, avoid coming from 2nd as it is very tight.

I had an excellent experience at this location, aptly named, as it does give a sense of being in the country, yet conveniently located to all of the nearby restaurants and other necessities of the city. Peter and Darlene were very kind and thoughtful, greeting me upon my arrival to help me get set up and available for any questions. I enjoyed talking with them both; they are fascinating people! I will definitely use their spot in the future!
