Fun in Taos

Overall this was a great spot for our family of 4. We had plenty of space and the house was comfortable. It would have been nice if there were some humidifiers provided and we did find a couple of dirty dishes in the cabinet. But nothing that wasn't easily fixed. Would rent this spot again.
