10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
He's a very cozy house, not too far from town, with amazing views of the mountains. My family and I had a great time. We loved cooking in the kitchen and spending time together out on the patio.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
We absolutely loved our stay. The house was more perfect than I imagined. So quiet and plenty of space between homes. Very clean and communication was very responsive and clear, even at late hours. The only thing we missed was dishwashing sponges and cleaning supplies
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jan 2025
A little bit of a drive into town, but there was a lot of space for everyone to be together, but relax in their own corners as well. Family friendly and stocked with things for young kids like books and toys. Nice hot tub.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Mar 2025
The house is great and has many strengths (a lot space, separated bedrooms, comfortable living room, equipped kitchen, hot tub, short drive to Taos). The main issue is with the property management company Vacasa. Unfortunately we were locked out (door code stopped working) and when we called for help it took over an hour to get inside. The back up code they gave us did not work and we ultimately had to get in through a key in a lock box.The next night the power in part of the house, including the WiFi, went out and was never restored. We contacted Vacasa multiple times and they repeatedly said the local host would respond and help. No local host ever responded or came to help. We were without the power in part of the house and without the WiFi until we checked out. It was not a simple reset situation as there was no accessible breaker box. It was frustrating to not have someone locally to help fix the issue.
