This is a charming, warm house in a spectacular location. I don't write reviews often, but Casa Kachina deserves it. My family spent a wonderful week here. Clean, decorated & attended wonderfully, can't say enough good things. Would definitely recommend!

Reviewer Comments:
The home itself has nice 'bones' but is in need of much repair and maintenance. When we arrived, the smoke detectors were hanging open with no batteries, the lightbulbs in all the showers were burnt out, and the duvet on one of the beds was covered in dog hair, as were the rugs. I texted the caretaker within an hour of checking in. After 3 hours with no response, I contacted the Property Mgr, again with no response. I continued to text and leave voice messages with both. Finally 5 hours after checking in, I reached each of them. Both were dismissive of the safety issues I raised and actually questioned why I needed them fixed. Finally, by 9pm, our most pressing concerns were addressed. Also, potential guests should be aware that the photos and property descriptions do not match what guests encounter: The "Krups coffee accessories" is a Mr. Coffee. There is no toaster oven. The "wood burning kiva fireplaces," all shown with fires blazing in the photos, have signs indicating to not use them. Each has a single battery operated candle in it, but the batteries don't work. The casita has no espresso machine. The guest room's twin beds have been replaced by a queen bed. Not all the windows are operable. The sliding screen door to the kitchen has holes and does not fit on the slider. The sliding door in the master bedroom does not lock. The master bathtub/shower is extremely slow to drain (takes several hours) and had centipedes crawling up from the drain. It's too bad that the care taker and property manager were so unresponsive and dismissive, because with some serious attention to maintenance and repairs, Casa Kachina could be a beautiful get-away. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, and the views were lovely.

This is a beautiful spacious home with a very well equipped kitchen. We made Thanksgiving Dinner there for the 2 couples and one single who stayed there. The feng shui makes it feel very homey, even though the furnishings are elegant. You can see the Milky from the patio at night. Mountain and open field views.

The house was charming and the mature landscaping was beautiful. WE were disappointed that the one car garage was not available and our vehicle was left outside for six weeks. The refrigerator/freezer went out and a replacement was ordered. The screen doors on the back of the house did not work and need to be replaced. It's in a beautiful neighborhood.

The house is lovely and in a great location. Our extended family was there for a ski trip. It was a 15 minute drive to Taos Ski Area. One major problem- the secure internet went out after the first day and the manager was not able to get someone there to fix it. (We tried many times to reset the router with no success.) I hope it has since been fixed b/c cell service is not great.

We had a wonderful time staying at Casa Kachina. The home was clean. The location was great for visiting both Taos and the Taos Ski Valley. The view of the mountains was gorgeous. Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed it.

Reviewer Comments:
Casa Kachina was a great location for skiing at Taos. The place was a tired and not very clean. Kitchen pots and pans were old and dated. Broken glass window, torn curtains, light bulbs burned out, no light in shower, rotted window casing, tiny TV, just a worn down place that needs updating. We looked at other places in the neighborhood and Casa Kachina was on the lower end. I would not stay here again unless it was updated and cleaned.
