We enjoyed the home during spring break. Conveniently located to Taos Plaza and a short drive to Taos Ski Valley. Kitchen was excellent for cooking meals at home. Jacuzzi was perfect for soaking sore muscles. We recommend the home! So many positives to list.
This was our second time here so, obviously, we love it. Spacious old style New Mexican house, big well-appointed kitchen, great fireplace, large dining room, a big study/TV room...and a truly impressive range of books on the shelves. The owner would be interesting to know. And I haven't mentioned the large grounds and outdoor space. Spectacular place.
The property is amazing Only a couple of things that needs attention The hot tub had not been serviced and the washer needs some deep cleaning Still this property is like a resort I would recommend
My friends and I stayed at this place for a week of skiing at Taos. Beautiful and spacious home.

Perfect place for a large group
This was probably one of my favorite vacation rental properties I've ever been to! It was such a beautiful property and I loved the large open yard with some old, giant beautiful trees there. The house had a lot of charm, beautifully decorated and loved the southwest feel. Plenty of space for our 5 families with children.

The house was perfect! Beautiful adobe structure, big enough to accommodate 9 people comfortably. We especially loved the yard. It goes on forever. Definitely a place we could visit again.

Great funky place to stay with lots of room and character. Needs to have some maintenance done with doors.
The house is great for up to 10 people with plenty of space and privacy plus togetherness. Outside is amazingly beautiful with lots of green grass yard space and mature gorgeous trees. Very private at the end of a road with lots of greenery. We will definitely stay again!
Perfect retreat for a stay in Taos for two families. This house was a great location to explore Taos for a couple of days and was very comfortable for 7 of us.
The kitchen dishes/pots could have been cleaner but otherwise it was a nice house. We loved the hot tub at night to relax before bed. The rooms were a good size and beds comfortable. All in all a great stay. Thanks!

Nice house though a bit tired
Overall an enjoyable stay. Our group enjoyed the large kitchen, lounging by the fireplace, and working puzzles on the dining room table. Plenty of space for our group of 8 adults. Older, charming, traditional adobe with low ceilings (several head bumps for our 6'-2" folks). Some furnishings could use a bit of freshening up. As others have noted some sort of critters are periodically active above the ceilings. Baseboard heating lacks room by room control, so sleeping temperatures in bedrooms vary widely from chilly to very warm.

On the day we arrived, We contacted Vicasa support to report issues. The kitchen water faucet did not work. The Key box did not work. There were no dish towels, but there wasn't any water in the kitchen anyway. The oven did not work. When we asked about the location of the recycle bin, we were told that Taos did not recycle. We found out later that this was a blatant lie. When we asked when a service person would fix the needed repairs, He said that they would arrive shortly. None ever came. We had to rent an additional space several blocks away to serve meals and use an oven. This was a disgusting experience for all of us. We will never trust Vicasa again.
