We loved this little cabin in the woods south of Taos. We stayed almost a month, and are planning to do it again. It is perfect for two, but can also accommodate a family. We particularly enjoyed the two decks, being in the trees, and fly fishing in the adjacent creek (the Rio Grande de Ranchos). While in a small community of houses with friendly neighbors, it is at the end of the road and affords lots of privacy. It was super clean and the host is very responsive.

Mountain getaway

This cabin is hidden away and perfect for a secluded getaway. Not being from the area we had to get used to the minerals in the water, but otherwise its close to Taos and lots of things to do. We had three generations there and everyone was satisfied.
