When entering the drive to the property it ws absolutely stunning. I stayed here in November and the leaves on the cotton wood tress were turning yellow and this made my stay even more special. If you want to really get a scence of what New Mexico has to offer I highly recommend staying here at Morning Star. You will not be dissapointed

Morning Star B&B is an excellent property to relax and enjoy ABQ.
We have family near by so we spent most of our time with family, but the property is with in 30 minutes for anything in the area.

The couple that runs this bed and breakfast are kind; however, the property is dirty and not well-kept. We didn't stay our full time, and they charged us for a third full night just because we left 20 minutes after checkout. We were packing because we made the decision to leave due to dirty conditions and feeling very uncomfortable. They made a few comments that were inaccurate to the listing and not appropriate. It was a misleading stay, to say the least. They stated, when taking a tour of the home, that the white stuff on the carpets is cotton from the fields outside, when in fact, it was dog hair (they have 2 dogs). It's very stuffy in this bed and breakfast. Apparently, they vacuum every day, but there is dust on everything, and there is dog hair throughout the home. As for the bathroom and bedroom, there are dead bugs throughout the baseboards, including staples. We had our little one on the floor who was choking on something and found it to be a staple! We mentioned it to the host, and she proceeded to say that kids should not be on the ground in public places...it's a bedroom? On top of that, it's not very private, and there isn't a hot tub as advertised. Not sure where the 10/10 rave is about, but we didn't have that kind of experience. She even offered a picture as a gift due to our stay being cut short and was worried about us giving this review. Sorry, but my family's comfort comes first, we want it to be safe and enjoyable especially for those that come to stay.

Dear JeremyThank you for sharing your thoughts about your stay. We’re sorry to hear that your visit did not meet your expectations, as we strive to provide an exceptional experience for all our guests.We’d like to address your concerns, particularly regarding accommodations for children. Our policy clearly outlines that children are welcome in our Albireo Suite, which is specifically designed for families. This suite offers carpeted floors, ample space, and a layout that is more appropriate for children. Unfortunately, without prior notice of your little one joining you, we were unable to place you in this family-friendly suite and instead had to accommodate you in the Starlight Room, which is not intended for guests with small children due to its rustic brick floors and limited suitability for infants.Here are some clarifications regarding your feedback: 1. Cottonwood Fluff and Cleanliness. We have 38 Cottonwood trees. During June and July, our area experiences an abundance of cotton from surrounding cottonwood trees, which can settle indoors despite regular cleaning. In fact we close the B&B for two weeks during a portion of this time. We diligently vacuum and maintain the property to ensure a comfortable environment, and we regret any misunderstanding about this seasonal occurrence.3. Dogs. Our dogs are kept in the innkeeper’s suite and do not live guest areas. They visit the B&B with us. 4. Privacy and Amenities. Our listing reflects a boutique bed and breakfast experience with shared spaces. While we aim to balance privacy and a cozy atmosphere, we understand that preferences vary. Additionally, we do not advertise a hot tub as part of our amenities and regret any confusion on this matter.5. Check-Out Policy. Our late check-out policy ensures we have adequate time to prepare for incoming guests. While we understand your decision to leave early, the additional night charge reflects the established terms of your booking and the timing of your departure.Finally, offering a piece of art was intended as a heartfelt gesture, not to diminish your feedback. We welcome families and are committed to ensuring their safety and comfort. However, advance notice is crucial for us to accommodate children appropriately in our designated family suite.We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and will use your feedback to continue improving our guest experience. Should you decide to visit again, we would love the chance to host your family in the Albireo Suite, where you can enjoy the thoughtful details we’ve designed specifically for families.Warm regards, John and Carrol

I felt like I was staying at a best friend or a close family member’s house. Where I could come and go as I please and was offered every amenity available, but also was greeted with the warmth of family at the most significant times. It was hard to convince my wife we couldn’t stay longer.

Morning Star is an incredibly beautiful place on a pastoral acreage in the historic village of Corrales, NM. The grounds are stunning. The inn itself, a charming example of northern NM architecture and craftsmanship is comfortable and warm. Our room, looking directly out to the beautiful pool could not have been better. We loved dining with the other guests (food was exceptional) which were a couple and their daughter from the UK and a lovely couple from NJ. The wife was Bavarian and we recounted our favorite beer gardens for hours. If you are not familiar with the "bosque" along the Rio Grande river, it is an amazingly beautiful greenbelt of ancient cottonwood tree, expansive lawns and tiny farms that date back centuries. John and Carol, the owners, are lovely, well informed and fun to hang with. Go there.

Carol and John are the most wonderful and hospitable hosts! They make the property even more charming - staying here for a few days before I headed out of town was such a welcome. When I left I felt as if I were staying with family - it's that cozy. John made the tastiest breakfasts and they were just the sweetest couple. My room was extremely comfortable and spacious and the grounds were so peaceful and quiet. It's in a great location too - close to where the wineries and farms are yet convenient to eateries and coffee shops as well.
