Taos Ski Valley get away

The property was just right for our two day ski trip. The condo was comfortable, nicely decorated and well-equipped. A quick 20 minute trip to the ski area and 10-15 minutes to great restaurants in Arroyo Seco, El Prado and Taos. Our favorites were Taos Cow, Orlandos and Medley. There was quite a bit of snow on the ground so we did not use the outdoor areas but I enjoyed watching daybreak from inside the cozy living room.

Perfect place for ski week at Taos

This is an excellent, clean and comfortable condo to stay in for a ski vacation/ski week at Taos Ski Valley--plus friendly, responsive hosts who want to make sure you have a great experience. The condo itself is decorated nicely with lots of attention to detail--even the knobs and handles are beautiful. The beds are comfortable. There are printed, clear instructions for everything--coffee makers, light switches, etc. And the kitchen has a variety of cooking/serving dishes/pots, as well as many items on hand (salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, spices, etc.) that are very helpful! The master bedroom has a lovely view of the mountains, as does the downstairs kitchen/living area. Taos Ski Valley is about a 17-minute drive from the condo, so it's an easy trip. In addition, the condo is less than a 10-minute drive from the cute village Arroyo Seco, which has some cute shops, coffee shops, and restaurants; I recommend ACEQ. The town of Taos is about a 15 minute drive. Great location for this condo!!!! The hosts are communicative, helpful, and responsive. My friend and I will definitely want to come back next season! I highly recommend this place.

Absolutely fantastic

Property as described. Completeness and the amenities are just like your at your own house. Drive to TSV 15 minutes. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything one might need. TV’s in each room and everybody gets their own bathroom, doesn’t get much better. Definitely stay here again next Taos trip.
