Do Not Rent!
We had issues with leaks from the ceiling all week. We reported the first one to Vacasa within 30 minutes of arriving at the property. Nothing was done that day, some guests had to sleep on the couch, and I had to follow up with them all week on additional leaks and getting a refund (which I still haven't heard about). I didn't receive communication from them that anything would be fixed until 3 days after our initial report, and some leaks were left all week. Meaning we had dirty water coming from the ceiling in our bedroom. They offered to put us in another home, but when I asked for details got no response. I also asked Vrbo for help and received nothing from them. Vacasa and Vrbo clearly do not care about the health and safety of their guests.

Needs maintenance
Heater in the primary bedroom didn't work. Roof leaked a little in the same room. Garbage disposal in kitchen didn't work. Other misc stuff off also. And just getting aresponse to these issues took forever, and none were resolved during our stay. Not impressed w Vacasa, at all

Taos is great
Everything was adequate and the outside areas were great. The ceiling fans should have the remotes available when the weather is warm since ventilation for the home is lacking when the wind is calm or not from a favorable direction. Issue was corrected once the local Vacasa team became involved and contacted the owner.

Fun Family Home
We stayed at this home in Taos for 4 nights and had the best time enjoying the hot tub and outdoor space with the stunning views. The kitchen has everything you would need, the living room had plenty of games, books and movies. You might even see some wildlife walking through the backyard! Very close to town and attractions. Definitely recommend!

Great views
We really enjoyed our stay! The hot tub was nice and clean! The house had great views with lots of outdoor space. The house is a little outdated but everything worked properly. Close to town and about 35 min from Taos ski resort. Would recommend to a friend!

Sister/Cousins Retreat
We love this house, location, neighborhood; view of Taos and sunset from foothills, only minutes from Taos plaza. Hot tub plenty large enough for the four of us. We love that this is a house people have lived in themselves -- if you look for it, you will probably find it. Lots of games, books, full bar setting with variety of glasses, outdoor settings on 3 sides with kiva fire place and fire pit in front; 2 inside fireplaces. Stocked with plenty of firewood, we used 3 of the 4 fireplaces provided. Could have used some indoor fireplace and TV remote instructions. All in all, we loved the place!!

Good but not great
Biggest single issue we had was a lack of documentation on how all of the systems in the house worked. For example, there were 5 different remote controls for the TV but no clear direction as to what worked what. Ceiling lights in two rooms (the living room and the master bedroom didn't work - even the property manager's handyman couldn't get them to work. The fire place on the porch, while lovely, didn't draw well. In our previous experiences with VRBO there was a notebook which clearly spelled out how everything worked - here, it was all trial and error. Nothing was dramatically bad, but at these prices we expected a more seamless experience. The view from the porch was breathtaking, the set up was nice, the property manager was good, but overall it was not up to the standard of our previous experiences.
