About this property

Arroyo Seco - El Salto area - 10 miles to Taos Ski Valley - 2 miles to Arroyo Seco Village and 8 miles to Taos, NM

El Salto Log Compound is one of Premiere's largest properties sleeping 18 guests in 8 bedrooms (includes 2 lofts) and 6.5 bathrooms. The compound boasts 2 hot tubs, 3 kitchens, 3 living rooms, 2 large flat screen TV's and one standard flat screen TV.

The awesome design and architecture of El Salto the log home sends guests home with a most memorable vacation stay and a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience an authentic log home. The Guest Cabin (located next to El Salto Log Home) and Private Cabin (nestled by itself at bottom of tree protected drive) offer efficient separation for large groups wanting to stay "together" with a sense of privacy and togetherness all at once.

The guest house proximity to the log home makes it a perfect separation for children and teens to have their own space to watch big screen TV and play table games for day time and early evening recreation. Two hot tubs means most everyone who wants to soak will find hot tub space at any given time. The luxury of 3 kitchens means that separate families can separately prepare food and convene for group meals. A piano in in place as an added attraction for groups - there is always someone who plays the piano and always many who love to sing along with a piano player.

This Taos cabin, guest house and log home vacation spot is a gem of a find in the Premiere Properties Taos Vacation Rentals inventory. We promise, you will run home and delight friends and family with photos and tales of your Taos lodging experience at El Salto Log Home Compound.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: El Salto Compound was perfect for our family reunion. It was spacious enough for both gathering all together and spreading out when folks needed privacy. The hot tubs were greatly appreciated and it was close to all the fun things we enjoyed such as mountain biking, AT skiing, rafting, hiking, and disc golf!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My extended family rented the property to ski and be together for my father's 75th birthday. The house was amazing, we loved working on the puzzles, sitting out on the terrace and having our dinners at the big dining room table. Beds were comfy and kitchen is well stocked. And the proximity to Taos, Taos Ski Valley, and the cute town of Arroyo Seco can't be beat. I would love to come back!

Amazing Gorgeous Family Cabins

This property was the perfect location for a large, multi family ski vacation. The main house is just gorgeous, beautiful views, warm and cozy. The other two houses decorated so thoughtfully and perfect for multiple families. The hot tubs perfect for after ski muscles. We were a party of 12, the best thing was that the main house had SO much seating and table space for games, hanging out and meals. The kitchen had everything for larger groups. Very clean, and the caretaker was very communicative and helpful for any questions or special needs. Had amazing skiing. Great trip and definitely would stay at this property again. Need 4x4 or all wheel drive if there during winter weather.

A slice of heaven for my birthday!

Just returned from a wonderful stay in Taos. I would highly recommend El Salto for a large group. We had a group of 10 and plenty of room. We convened for meals, cocktails, etc., in the main house. As others have said, there are steps and a sunken LR in the main house, but we strategically placed a chair and end table and had no problems (and we aren't spring chickens). Terra was amazingly responsive to our needs. Also, I have stayed in many rental homes and this one had nearly every pot, pan, utensil, etc., one might want. The view is amazing. Sunsets were perfect. You can't go wrong here!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Private place with great views. Hot tub was broken the first two nights. There was barely any firewood and then we were charged 80 dollars for them to deliver wood. Everything else worked and the stay was great.

Annual Family Reunion

Everyone enjoyed staying at this property. We did have to scramble to be able to use a grill because the ones on the back porch would not function. Called the caretaker who allowed us to use one that was in the garage. It was very dirty so we cleaned it. There were 4 empty propane bottles there so we had to go get a new one for our grilling which was one night. The house is beautiful but the stairs were un manageable for our older family so we had to rearrange sleeping arrangements. The group would like to go back again next year.

An Amazing Family Get-away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Two days away from The El Salto Compound, and I miss it terribly. The houses are all well-stocked and in great shape. The location is lovely and quiet and refreshing. We asked ahead of time to hold a small gathering at the big house, and it was perfect. Lots of inside and outside seating for our stay, every cooking utensil (and spice!) you might need, very comfortable beds, lots of space. We loved drinking coffee on the decks and watching storms and sitting in the hot tub. Everything was perfect.

Beautiful Christmas Family memories

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful Christmas vacation in spite of some inconveniences. Two dish washers did not work was big inconvenience. Also both hot tubs not maintained properly. Then leaking hot water in upstairs sink had to be turned off and not fixed as it was Christmas holidays. This did not stop us from having a fabulous time as the skiing and snowmobiling was so fun and beautiful.Would recommend this place with concerns about updating repairs that are needed.

El Salto Compound

This is a great place for large gatherings located in a quiet and peaceful area outside of Taos. There is a beautiful hiking trail nearby and we enjoyed the villiage of Arroyo Seco. We had a wonderful stay, but there needs to be more attention to detail and having the house properly stocked with cleaning supplies, paper goods, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, etc. We needed to make several inquiries regarding supplies. The property also needs some attention to the upkeep as some window shades were broken, window screens were missing, loose faucets, dishwasher tips forward, outlet didn't work, etc. A list of needed repairs has been sent privately to the owner. For users of the master bedroom in the main lodge, it is beautiful and comfortable, but it is noisy and not private, as it does not have a solid door. As stated by others, the step down into the living room is problematic and could be hazardous to some. We recommend that there be a more thorough user manual for appliances and the workings of the house. While it is a nice place, it would be even nicer with some tender loving care.
