We recently stayed at the Gem Hacienda in Taos, NM, for a family vacation, and it was perfect. Our group of 17, including 11 adults and 6 kids (ages 1-8), found the house incredible and luxurious. With 9 spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, we had all the convenience and privacy we needed.
The house features numerous sitting, dining, and lounging areas both inside and out. We loved the two outdoor fire pits, prefilled with wood, perfect for making s'mores with the kids. The hosts were outstanding, with excellent communication before, during, and after our stay. Stargazing at night was magical.
A short walk took us to the river, where the hosts had set up a lovely seating area. The kids enjoyed watching prairie dogs in the field behind the house. The kitchen was huge, with two large refrigerators and several coffee machines. The hosts even left treats and gifts for us.
This rental exceeded our expectations and made for an unforgettable family vacation. If I could, I’d give it 10 stars! Highly recommended for anyone seeking a luxurious and comfortable retreat in Taos. Thank you to the amazing hosts for making our stay so special!
