We had two families and had a wonderful week. Property was ready early and very clean. Property manager was easy to reach for checkin instrustions and all was as expected. Kids got to swim in the club pool and play basketball during our off times from skiing. Its a perfect distance between Taos and Taos Ski Valley. The house layout had plenty of room and was great for our families. The hot tub under the NM stars was incredible. We would definitley stay again.

Kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need. Back yard views were beautiful! Hot tub was amazing. The subdivision was quiet and perfect for nice walks. House caretaker was easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. 10 billion stars on this vrbo!!

The house is in an ideal location, and nothing beats the gorgeous El Salto mountain right outside the window. Nice, quiet street, and spacious and lovely house. The property manager does a great job in preparing a clean and ready house, and the house is well appointed. However, the appliances are older and often don't work properly--dishwasher leaves grit on everything, washing machine stops mid-cycle and has to have the lid weighted to keep working. These kinds of things detract from the overall experience, as do loose tiles on the floors and peeling stucco out back. For the price, these types of things should be repaired and this type of updating is essential. It's a gorgeous spot and overall a comfortable house, but its due for some TLC.

We generally go to Colorado, but wanted to go somewhere new and likely less crowded during the pandemic. We wanted something convenient to the local attractions but also somewhat secluded and private, at least 3 BR, 2 BA, a private hot tub and a kitchen to prepare and enjoy meals. Casa Illuminada filled our needs. The location of the home was awesome to get to Taos Ski Valley while also being reasonably convenient to get to Taos Plaza, restaurants, and grocery stores.

There was a mix up with the local caretaker of the property. She was unable to properly clean the home before our arrival. The management company helped us immediately and she was able to return to the home in an effort to properly prepare the property for our stay. That said, the first impression wasn’t what you would like and tarnished our opinion of the properties cleanliness and overall fit and finish relative to a luxury vacation rental. The location and layout of the home are magnificent, but it could use a few updates before I would recommend it’s as a luxury rental (e.g., fixtures, furnishing, bedding, and a few other maintenance items).

We were happy with Premier Properties response to our concerns during and after our stay. They were responsive,
understanding, and professional.
