Lovely
Well-built beautifully equipped home in between Taos and Angelfire! Close neighbors have roosters that definitely make themselves known at sunrise. Turning around in driveway pretty difficult for an SUV/truck as backing out is not an option. Could use some curtains in bedrooms for those that want to sleep in if you can with the roosters… ha! Still, lovely place and would definitely stay again. Bring a portable speaker if you want music in house… my only regret when packing! Lovely outdoor fire-pit area and hot tub!

Rustic & Cute Property
Overall, a very nice property. Cute and tucked away from the main road. The only reason I gave this 4 stars was due to the driveway/parking being a little tricky with a large truck and the snow we had in February.

Snowy Birthday Getaway
Our stay in the chalet at the foot of a mountain was delightful. When we did communicate with the property manager the response was always prompt and helpful. We hope to come back again soon.
