Mauger Estate B&B Inn

Mauger Estate B&B Inn Review

This 1897 Queen Anne-style mansion—on the National Register of Historic Places—was the first home in Albuquerque to have electricity. While the mercantile Mauger (pronounced major) family is long gone (and the electricity long since upgraded, along with a detailed restoration throughout), this well-run B&B has retained many of the building's original architectural elements, including oval windows with beveled and "feather-pattern" glass, hardwood floors, high ceilings, a redbrick exterior, and a front veranda. Rooms—clean and contemporary with a restrained Victorian touch (seen best in the dark woods)—have refrigerators and baskets stocked with munchies, triple-sheeted beds with soft feather duvets, irons and boards, and fresh flowers. There's also a two-bedroom, two-bathroom town house next door. Guests have access to a full-service health club a few blocks away.
