Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Stay Overall we had a great time here. The house is beautiful and both the front and back yard are stunning. The views from this house are amazing and it's so nice and quiet. The property caretaker was very responsive and attentive to our needs which was greatly appreciated. We were close enough to the towns and everything we wanted to do, also super close to the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge which is a must visit. Overall great stay for a relaxing trip. ##### Anahi R.

Sep 15, 2024 #### A beautiful stay in Taos Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was quiet, very clean, and very comfortable. Checking in was seamless. We had everything we needed and then some. The wifi was fast and the hot tub was clean and worked perfectly. We enjoyed the quiet nights and the charming decor, as well as the supply of books! We'd be delighted to stay in the house anytime we visit Taos. ##### valerie s.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our four-day stay, as the house was great--clean, spacious, attractive and quiet--and with a well-stocked kitchen. It is 10-15 minutes from most of the key Taos sites, but an easy drive. Don't let the small number of reviews scare you away, as the home has not been listed on VRBO for very long. It's the best VRBO home we've experienced (out of four or five). The local manager was very friendly and called to make sure everything was meeting our expectations. Overall a great stay. ##### Riley D. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter F. Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful and well stocked property Excellent property with all of the small details that you don't expect to have during a vacation (e.g. good kitchenware). Fun to be in a southwest styled home as well. We had a great time! ##### Peter F.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was in a remote, but quiet location. The floor plan was great. The covered front porch and the back portal was amazing with a large covered area, hot tub and a new Weber Grill. The front yard garden had been amazing, but was totally unkempt. ##### Norman M.
