Item Description

Welcome relaxation with a 2-night stay at Bottger Mansion Bed and Breakfast, right in the heart of Old Town. This bed & breakfast celebrates over a hundred years of Albuquerque history. The house and rooms feature photographs and memorabilia from the arrival of the railroad in 1879 to Route 66, while also including all of the modern amenities & comforts for guests.

Take pleasure in a scenic bike ride on the Bosque Trail with two 24-hour bike rentals, fully equipped hybrids, or mountain bikes, including water bottles and energy bars from the BikeSmith.  Enjoy 2 delicious garden fresh meals and beverages from the Old Town Farm in an open-air café from Bike-In Coffee and take a tour of the beautiful, refreshing Old Town Farm.

Recognized as one of the best bike rides in the west, the Paseo del Bosque trail runs 16 miles through the heart of the city along the Rio Grande’s beautiful cottonwood forest.  The trail is a 5 minute bike ride from  The BikeSmith store via The BikeSmith & Old Town Farm Bike Path.  Proceeding south on the trail from our point of access takes you to Tingley Beach, Rio Grande Botanic Garden, Albuquerque Aquarium and the Rio Grande Zoo.  The northern route takes you by the Rio Grande Nature Preserve and provides beautiful views of the Sandia Mountains and Rio Grande River.

We like to think of Old Town Farm as the “green heart of the city”.  Located just off the Bosque Trail, Old Town Farm is situated on 12 acres in one of the most historic settings in New Mexico.   This working farm caters to cyclists with their open air Bike In Coffee café where they serve delicious fresh prepared soups, salads, mini quiches, pastries and smoothies made from farm grown greens and fruits.   Be sure to try Lanny’s delicious French pressed coffee or Linda’s mint iced sun tea.
