My wife and I felt right at home with our stay at this incredible house. It really had the privacy we were looking for with incredible mountain views from the windows and the neighborhood. Loved having access to the pool table and the Very clean Hot Tub for entertainment when we weren't hiking around town. Absolutely loved the adobe style and characterof this home that had most of the amenities we needed for our week long stay. We would definitely stay here again if we were to visit the area again in the near future. If we had one complaint it would be the lack of hot water in the master bath, It wasn't extremely cold when we were there so we didn't bother to inquire for a fix from the host. So, there may have been something we were missing. Overall, loved our Stay though!

This home is in a great location if you like a little peacefulness and space. The views from the house are wonderful, you feel like you are in Taos from all rooms. It is a very short drive to eat and shop in downtown. The patios are cozy and the hot tub is fantastic after a day of hiking or shopping. The pool table is a treat, as well! Margaret was a wonderful hostest, providing anything you might have forgotten.

Everything we were hoping for...

My husband Jeff and I along with our dog Obi spent 3 wonderful weeks at this lovely home. The house is in a beautiful location. Close enough to all of Taos's offerings, ski, food,hiking,shopping,markets,Taos Plaza, Arroyo Secco, etc. but far enough away to enjoy wide open spaces, beautiful sunsets and sunrises as well as starry nights. Magical! The pool table is a super fun perk as well as the hot tub in the private yard. The rooms are all nice size and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, linens were lovely and the towels thick and lush. Another extra perk was the pile of firewood that we enjoyed every evening in the big adobe fireplace in the living room. Wifi was good as well for remote working. It was especially nice to have an enclosed garage out of the elements with easy access to the house. Our host Margaret, could not have been more accommodating and available for anything we needed. We will definitely return to this home away from home .

Lovely Home

This home worked great for our family of 5. It was spacious and well supplied with everything possible. Plenty of room and the pool table was a big hit with everyone. The hot tub is wonderful for those chilly New Mexico evenings! The location was great. Just far enough away from Taos to avoid the traffic and noise and close enough that we could be there in a few minutes. So many things to do in the area. We enjoyed hiking, rafting, and taking an ATV into the mountains around Red River. We checked out all 3 ski areas and loved the little town of Red River. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect space

This home was absolutely lovely. Owner was responsive in communication. Having several separate spaces including two outdoor spaces made it easier to use with two families. Lots of openness, but enough separation for privacy. Mountain views and temperatures were wonderful. We have stayed in this area many times. This was one of our favorites. Also easy access to restaurants and hiking trails.

Taos Summer Getaway

There is hardly anywhere else on earth that I enjoy visiting more than Taos NM. The vibe is spiritual and restorative and the weather is spectacular. This home in El Prado was ideal for our family. It was reasonable and comfortable. The house had every amenity we could need. We loved the hot tub and outdoor patios. It would be nice to have a bench or shower chair in the master shower. The property is not air conditioned but the fans in the rooms kept the house cool at night. We definitely will recommend this property and plan on staying here again in the future.

Great Place to use as a base for exploring the Taos Area

We had a great time in Taos and Margaret's home made for a great base of operations. Myself, wife and three kids were all very comfortable. There was plenty of space to spread out and enjoy ourselves and the pool table saw lots of action. The location of the place was far enough out of Taos that we had decent privacy but we were still within easy driving distance to the Taos Ski Valley, Taos Pueblo and other outdoor adventures. We even did a white water rafting trip in the Rio Grande Box (Class 4) where we ended up spending a day in the house recuperating with bumps and bruises. :P Fun times!
