House was wonderful. Great location, great views. Quiet. Well stocked kitchen. Only two minor quibbles: 1) tv was tiny and didn’t work, but wifi was great so was able to stream content easily on laptop and phone; 2) there was no instruction manual/house guide, so I had to text the house cleaner with questions about what to do with garbage/recycling etc. Every other property I’ve stayed at had the basic stuff written down somewhere. Nonetheless, I’d have no hesitation staying here again.

Reviewer Comments: Since this was our very first vacation rental experience and our first visit to the Taos/Arroyo Seco area, we had limited expectations. We found the property very spacious and comfortable and generally clean (other than the cobwebs floating freely from the high ceilings). It would have been helpful for the light switches to be labeled - we had difficulty figuring them out, and many seemed to have no purpose. Our apologies if our experimentation left lights on in weird places. It would also have been helpful to have a binder in the kitchen with the operating instructions for the coffee makers and other appliances, rather than relying on our "best guess" button-pushing.We loved relaxing on the back patio, enjoying the cool breezes and watching the prairie dogs play, the perfect place to hunker down with a good book. We enjoyed trips to the Taos Farmers Market & Art Museum, and had tasty meals at Orlando's and Taos Mesa Brewing Company. However, as in many small towns, parking is less than adequate and the sidewalks roll up early - no lingering late over dinner with friends.Overall, we had a good first experience, and may well return in the future, with better knowledge of what to expect (like the surprising number of unpaved narrow gravel roads, some of which were more than a little scary to navigate in a rental car). We enjoyed the adventure and would definitely recommend the property/area to friends. Thanks for the hospitality!

We loved the location as we were out in the mountains but very close to Taos! We enjoyed apples from the apple tree in the backyard every day. Many species of birds were seen including a magpie that landed on a limb next to me and chattered at me! The views were spectacular with wonderful sunsets of course. We had a coyote come right to the property line in the backyard! The home is delightful and has more than what you would expect in a vacation rental. Everything and more in the kitchen. Great courtyard in front to sit in morning and have coffee or tea. Very cozy home. Great music options and movies to choose from. Lovely walks up and down the neighborhood street. Will definitely come again!
