Hi Richard,
Thanks for the review. I’m so glad you found the accommodations comfortable for your group and convenient to the ski valley. Would love to host you again.
Use the directions given by the host. A bit tricky to find the first time there. Interesting area, rafting was fun and rio grand gorge is nice to see. Loved visiting bandelier national monument.

Hi Julie, I'm glad you and your family enjoyed visiting some of the sights in the area and found the condo a good "home base" for your activites. Also, thanks for letting me know the directions we sent worked. I have discovered that we are tucked away on our Court and this confuses GPS. If you think there are any improvements I can make on those written directions, let me know and be sure to let me know if you'd like to visit again!
We couldn't have wished for a better accommodation. It was spacious, exquisitely clean, well supplied and well located. Monica was available and eager to help (although we didnt need much since everything was so well laid out). We are all really hoping that we are lucky enough that it will be availabile for our next trip to Taos.

Apologies for the late reply but thank you for letting me know about your stay. I wish there had been more snow for you but am glad to know you found other ways to enjoy beautiful northern New Mexico! Let me know if you are planning a return visit and I’ll be glad to accommodate.

Wonderful property for a ski vacation
We stayed at the Casita New Year's weekend and could not be more pleased. The house was very clean and extremely well-stocked for vacationers. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable for our family. It was so nice to come back "home" after a full day skiing and relax with a fire. We hope to be able to stay here on future visits to Taos. Thank you, Monica.

Perfect for our family
Monica, the owner, made things easy. The condo was a great fit for our family of si. Everyone had a bed and there was plenty of space. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking gear. Having the pool and tennis courts was also a plus. They keep the unit very clean. We will stay again if we go back to Taos.

Good locationfor quietness. A little hard to find at first. Very responsive helpful manager. Lock box very challenging to refit keys into especially in the dark when departing.

Rona, thank you, belatedly, for your review and I so glad you enjoyed the home. We love the privacy and feeling of peace there as well! The bird feeders can be especially nice for entertainment too! I am guessing that our quiet and off-the-beaten-path location might have contributed to your initial navigational troubles and if there is anything you think is missing that I should add to the driving directions, please let me know as we try to include all appropriate landmarks and signs to help guests out. I have also checked the lockbox out to make sure it is in working order. Thanks again for staying with us.

Unplug, unwind, refresh
We came here to rest--mission accomplished. The condo is decorated very stylishly, kitchen is fully furnished, and wifi and DirecTV will allow you to stay in touch with the world as much as you want to. Two excellent restaurants are within easy walking distance. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, eating breakfast, and watching the hummingbirds race back and forth. If you are looking for a place out in the country but yet close to the plaza, this is the property for you.
Monica was great with pre-arrival information and very helpful in suggesting various day trips.

We almost cancelled this ski trip since there was no snow, but I’m so thankful we didn’t. We loved the house. It was incredible roomy and the location between the ski valley and the town was fantastic. The views from the master bedroom were phenomenal, and one morning we were graced with a herd of quail eating birdseed outside the den window. The house was incredibly roomy, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the beds were quite comfortable. The only thing that could make this house even better is a private hot tub or large tub in the master, but that’s just my general preference. I would love to stay in this home again, during any season.

I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed our prime views and location near the ski valley, in spite of the uncooperative snow! Please let me know if you want to come again!
This is an beautiful property that is well maintained and beautifully furnished. It is clear the owner takes great pride in offering a lodging place that is restful, comfortable and has all the comforts/necessities of Home.
I would suggest improving the directions to the property to say hwy 150 is past (north) of the El Prado city limits at the intersection of the airport. It would have made finding the place much easier. Also directions could be sent earlier considering that being in the mountains brings with it very restricted or no internet/cell coverage.
We will definitely return to this property and recommend it to our friends.

We love the unit!!! It was clean and comfortable. The owners were accessible by phone and responded quickly. The grounds/maintenance team was responsive to our needs, very communicative and helpful and so friendly. The rooms were quiet and spacious, the kitchen and baths were fully stocked. This was a perfect family spot. The whole facility was fun with tennis courts (if that is the focus), then the swimming pool was crystal clear and clean. Staff there was very friendly and helpful. The property was conveniently located for the mountain or shopping or just resting. Beautifully landscaped...we loved the aromatic shrubs as we exited the car on our arrival. Thank you from our hearts. We would love to return!! Carol

We truly enjoyed our stay in Monica’s casita at Quail Ridge. The check in process was easy. The owner was very quick and easy to communicate with and the casita was very clean and comfortable. The resort location is really special, about 10 minutes outside of town, in a grove of mature trees surrounded by amazing views. The casita was perfect for the three of us ladies to each have our own room with plenty of space. The living space is very comfortable and nicely furnished, open to the kitchen which is well stocked with kitchenware, pantry basics and appliances. The finishes are all very nice as well, like nice heavy blackout curtains and blinds, plenty of towels, etc. But, our favorite spot was out on the low walled patio with comfortable seating where you can drink your coffee and listen to the birds in the trees and take in the views. We enjoyed eating dinner on the patio several times as well. We look forward to returning!

We stayed the first week of January 2020 for a family ski trip to Taos. The condo is a short ~20 minute drive to Taos ski valley and also a quick drive to the town of Taos. We had a great steak dinner at Martyrs Steakhouse, burgers at The Burger Stand & Ale house, and pizza at Taos Pizza Out Back. All were great restaurants to eat at.
Monica was great to communicate with.
She provided detailed instructions for locating the property in the town home complex as well as instructions for check in. We had a little trouble figuring out one of the downstairs thermostats when we arrived but she was quick to respond to my text and helped me figure it out.
The kitchen is well furnished and we found everything we needed to cook. The bathrooms and bedrooms were stocked with clean fresh linens and there is a washer and dryer to use if needed.

About the host
Hosted by Monica Carson
We are two sisters who grew up in western Kansas and spent many family vacations in northern New Mexico. Our parents often used Taos and nearby Red River as home base for exploring the area and it is still a place we return to as often as possible. Our parents were also fans of having a drink at the Taos Inn and visiting the Ski Valley in all seasons. We have been pleased to own property here and are happy to share our home with other guests, be they new to the Taos experience or those who already love Taos and all things Southwest.
Why they chose this property
We chose the Quail Ridge area because of it's proximity to both town and the Taos Ski Valley. It is wonderful to be close to all yet away from the hustle and bustle of town. We love the open layout of the common area in this home, the beautiful views from the grounds and outside space and the added benefit of using the facilities at Taos Tennis at Quail Ridge.
