Amazing House!

The photos do not do it justice! This house located perfectly between Taos and the Taos ski valley. The views are spectacular and the sunsets are amazing. Plenty of space for our family with teens. The layout of the house is great and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. We cannot wait to stay here again!

An Amazing stay

We absolutely adored this house. It was the home you wanted to pick up and plot where ever you travel too. It made our trip 100% more enjoyable. I can not say enough about this beautiful property from the views, to the deer that come right up to the porch, the coziness of every room and the amazing kitchen. If you ever get a chance to rent this location please do you will not regret your decision.

Perfect Experience

The pictures do not do this property justice. You have mountain views in the front and in the back with amazing sunsets. The house is easy to get to from Taos and easy to get to Taos Ski Valley. We drove in from Texas and when we arrived to the property it was such a refreshing feeling to see that we booked the perfect house for our vacation. The property was clean, family oriented, and much bigger than you think. Great garage access and my kids were able to explore the outside property safely. Even saw deer in the morning come up to the door. Overall great house and great Taos experience!

Everything about this Taos gem - the location, the vistas, the expanse of land, the furnishings, the well-equipped kitchen, the privacy, the sunrises and sunsets - was just what we had hoped for and much, much more.!

Fantastic house in an amazing location

The house is beautiful - even nicer than the pictures how. It's true that you see the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening every day. It's surrounded by miles and miles of sage grass on a plateau for endless views of mountains in the distance, with some dirt roads that are good for walking. Taos Ski Valley is a great ski mountain just 20 min away.

Perfect ski weekend retreat

We enjoyed a relaxing week in this beautiful adobe home located between Taos and the ski valley in a quiet setting. We saw several deer on the property during our stay. Two living rooms gave our family of four plenty of space. The kitchen is well stocked. Easy 20 minute drive to the ski hill. Homeowners were gracious hosts and easy to communicate with. We hope to return soon!
