Enjoyed the stay…beautiful home!
Our family has been coming to Taos the last 4 years to ski and we have loved the other places we stayed, but this was our favorite. The layout of the house (2 living areas), furnishing, well-equipped kitchen, ease of check-in and check-out, and convenience to everything was perfect. I hope you will view the following as helpful criticism (it would not keep us from returning). The temperature in the rooms was hard to adjust, I think some written instruction on how to adjust temperature and fans would be helpful, the front porch light was out and it is dark in that enclosed area at night, the jacuzzi in bathroom was not working, and the hot tub needs some filter cleaning. Thank you for providing us a wonderful place to stay and enjoy our family. Also your neighbors were friendly and always waved. ❤️
We loved the home size, location, views, hot tub, and meditation/workout space. The kitchen is pretty well stocked for groups!
This was our second booking at the Taos Mountain House. We stayed for a week in 2024, this stay was for 12 days. Everything was in good working order and the spacious accommodations were excellent. A perfect location. Close enough to Taos without being too close. Lots of privacy, beautiful views of the mountains.
We loved our stay here. There were some issues with the property (hot tub wasnt working) but they sent someone out quickly to assess...literally within minutes someone was responding to me. Appreciate the level of care and attention. its a beautiful home in a beautiful space.
Both sunrises and sunsets from the jacuzzi. If it's mountains you need to see you'll get snow topped peaks in May. I traveled around those snow peaks with a stop at Taos' ski area's furthest road to be surrounded 240 degrees of mountain tops. Then drove to the Rio Grande gorge bridge less than 30 miles from the peaks (15 mile from the house). Vietnam memorial in the nearby mountains worth driving to. Along the way is a horse backing riding company and ice cream near town! I'm coming back to this house!!!
