We were impressed by this VRBO experience as soon as we opened the front door to the house. It is a beautiful space with ample room inside and out. We enjoyed the big windows in the house, the one floor layout with open rooms and the comfortable bed in the one bedroom (of three) we slept in. The kitchen was so nice that we decided to cook in for more meals than originally planned. The backyard may be the best part, with a beautiful garden and an extra adobe wall that makes it such a beautiful place to spend parts of the day. We had our dogs with us and they loved their stay too! We will definitely be seeing if this place is available the next time we are in Taos. It took a part of our hearts. This is a very special home!

The size of it and especially having 2 masters, a child’s area and bedroom, and bathrooms for all. We did use the hot tub which was nice but never could figure out the tv with the two remotes. We are seniors and it was above our pay grade! All in all, it was a nice stay.

Very clean, best place we’ve stayed at in a long time!

The house was a great stay with clean rooms, fun games and beautiful surroundings! Me and my friends had a great time and I would highly recommend the property! The one con I would have to say is that the host/service does not respond to messages. They didn’t for me at least.

We absolutely loved the house. It is spacious, with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked. We cooked our Thanksgiving meal there. The enclosed yard was perfect for our dogs and we made use of the hot tub. The living spaces are large and the house is located in a quiet neighborhood with lots of space between houses. Overall we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

We loved the location of this home, very secluded and yet quite close to the town of Taos and also the great restaurants we discovered in El Prado (Golden Pinon for a great breakfast or lunch and Melody for a wonderful dinner). The views were amazing and ever-changing with the changing light throughout the day. The house is well-equipped with a great floor plan and the courtyards outside are so pretty, so inviting. And we loved the hot tub. We also enjoyed using the Kiva fireplace in the living room and there was a good supply of firewood. We are already thinking ahead to when we might next visit again!
