The condo is beautiful & cozy with a large kitchen & a large bathroom, with sky lights throughout allowing for natural lighting, the decor is lovely we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The view of the mountains is unobstructed, & the night sky is chock full of dazzling stars and the condo is only about a 5 to 10 minute drive from the Taos center. We will be returning to this condo!

Note there is a fireplace in the pics. It is not usable if that is something you’re looking for. Otherwise the house was more than cozy for 2 people. Great place just a few minutes from taos. Saw a concert at kit carson park. Went to some hot springs. Went rafting on the rio grande. Cant think of a nicer home base.(except for the fireplace). Lol. There is a common space in the middle of the property where you can have a fire it seems but i did not.

Great accommodations!

Great location on the road to Taos ski valley. Clean and as described, we enjoyed our stay! Weather was unseasonably warm and while there were portable fans it was still pretty hot. There is a lovely patio in back so we spent a lot of time there.It's a perfect place for a ski vacation! Highly recommend it.

Great spot

We stayed at this property for the Taos tennis tournament. It was perfect. Clean, beautifully decorated with a nice relaxing porch in the back. The first night we were there it was very warm but then we figured out the AC unit was on a timer so much better the second night. We had a great time!

Great place perfect location

We were there to ski at Taos ski Valley. Chose the location because it is halfway between the mountain and the town of Taos with easy access to everything. We found the place spacious, nicely furnished, well equipped and clean. Bed was really comfortable. Lots of extra towels, blankets, and everything we needed in the kitchen to cook in when we didn't feel like going out. We also enjoyed curling up on the couch for an evening of Netflix after a tiring day on the mountain. The hosts were very responsive to questions. When an item was missing from the kitchen (a corkscrew had apparently been removed from the property without their knowledge) they had the property manager drop off another one the next day .
