Momentitos - Peaceful and close to Arroyo Seco

This 2400 square foot home is beautifully constructed, a pumice home built in adobe style by a local real estate agent for his personal use. The home owner now purchased Momentitos from this real estate agent. The inside has many extra nice and high quality features. Views towards the mountains from the kitchen, master bedroom and the east facing patio are stunning. The open living room, kitchen and dining area makes for a great gathering place.
Momentitos is pet friendly. The Latilla and Adobe wall fences completely surround the home protecting the patio from the wind and giving the home a very secluded feeling.
The master bedroom is large with a king bed and a fireplace. The bathroom has tub and shower with double soap stone sinks. The walk in closet has built in drawers.

The other two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the living area. There is a queen bed in one and the third bedroom has two twins that can be made into a very comfortable king. A small computer desk is placed in this room if you need to do some work. A day bed sits next to a wall in the living area for an extra bed if needed.

The kitchen is well equipped and easy to use. The home owner visits quite often and enjoys cooking. The home has very thing you need for a comfortable and great vacation. Just bring your clothes and groceries.

Momentitos is 13 miles from the Taos Ski Valley and about six miles from the center of Taos, just two miles from the artisan village of Arroyo Seco with a natural food market, cafes, restaurants, and authentic New Mexico retail and art galleries.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

Beautiful dog-friendly adobe house and yard

We loved the house, and especially the yard and hot tub. The yard was very secure for our dog, which made things easy and relaxing.The blinds and windows work well for managing the summer heat on the property. Finding the house and parking were easy.

A Momentaos Stay!

We had a truly unforgettable stay at this charming Taos retreat! The home was beautifully decorated with Southwestern touches, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed—from a warm hot tub to a fully equipped kitchen. The peaceful outdoor space offered stunning mountain views and incredible stargazing at night. Perfectly located just minutes from the Plaza, galleries, and local restaurants, yet quiet and private enough to feel like a true escape. Our host was warm, responsive, and full of great local tips. We hope to come back someday!

Not awful but not amazing

It was tidy on the surface but that was about it. The kitchen was underwhelming and very poorly stocked, being able to cook there was a bust. No seasonings as simple as salt, no foil, etc. The dishwasher was disgusting, I’m not sure the filter had ever been cleaned and smelt horrible. I cleaned it for about 30 minutes. I had to call the property manager twice to get dishwasher pods and anything to clean the countertops with. I couldn’t find one towel that wasn’t soured. The clothes washer smelt horrible while it was running. The overall space for our family was great but that was about it.

Momentitos

We very much enjoyed our stay at Momentitos. The property is well kept and the house is comfortable and laid out well with the master bedroom on one side of the house and the other two bedrooms on the other side. The property manager, Wendy, reached out with very good directions to the property as well as giving contact information in case of any issues. Given the clear professionalism of the manger, coupled with a comfortable well maintained property, I would certainly rent this house again.

Family ski trip

This property did not disappoint. It was spacious and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable. It was within a 30 minute drive to Taos Ski Valley. The back yard was absolutely lovely. The views were amazing. We ate breakfast at the table outside and enjoyed coffee from the overlook. The hot tub was wonderful after a day of skiing. The property manger was very easy to reach. We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to stay here again.

Perfect Spring Break with Family

The property was exactly as listed. The home was perfect for our group of 6. My sister, our husband's and our 13 year old boys. Everyone had more than enough room to be together and separate for a week. The backyard was very nice and unless you were standing on the small deck with the blue chairs you didn't even know there was a road behind the home. We really enjoyed the deck, looking out at the mountains. The hot tub was very nice after a day of skiing. My search for the perfect Toas home away from home is complete.

Super comfy

We had a wonderful time at this property. The location was perfect, 10 minutes from downtown Taos and 25 minutes from Taos ski valley. We brought our dogs and the nice fenced in yard kept them safe. We all enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. The floor heating kept the house at a consistent comfortable temperature. Compared to other houses we stayed at through VRBO this house was very well stocked. Enough toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish detergent, spices, coffee you name it. Wendy made us feel welcome by turning the lights on before we got there so we didn’t arrive in a dark house. All together we were all very impressed and I would highly recommend this place to anybody.

We came to New Mexico for the Balloon Fiesta and decided to stay in Taos. The drive was so beautiful and the house was perfect, just like the pictures. The hot tub and yard maintenance was awesome. Wendy was so wonderful at communicating, she was on top of everything (we came in late and she had lights on and responded to our late txt right away) The town is very cute and had a lot of restaurants to choose from. It was a great vacation!
