A vacation HOME!
Emily G from Stow, MA recommends this property
Stayed 5 days ending in February, 2022
The house is amazing! It is wonderfully decorated, as pictured. It is local in style, maybe a southwest adobe 70’s , but very well maintained. There is even a patch of the wall, unsealed to reveal the sealed mud building technique! Extra charm. The fireplace no longer is for use to roar with wood, as pictured, as it had to be changed to a candle, which was ok for us, since the house was very warm. The beds were extra comfortable filled with pillows. Everything you’d need to cook- on gas! Olive oil and spices were available to use. Plenty of nice shampoo + conditioner and soap. A blow dryer, too. Toilet paper, paper towels, foil + Saran, also. Really nice pottery plates + local style cocktail glasses. Comfortable couches. TV with Netflix and more. The master bathroom is a bit dated, with a 70’s bathtub. The other bedroom shower (only) is cool with local tiles. If you opt for adding the 3rd bedroom, (we didn’t) you should note the entry is separate, just outside of the front door to the main house. You can also enter the house through the garage to use the mud room for your skis + boots. The washer and dryer are in the utility room. The other thing, that should be understood from viewing the property pictures, is that the pool is not in the house. It is in a separate building, the clubhouse, a 3 minute walk. The pool is grand! We rented during the winter, so, the tennis + basketball courts were covered with snow. But, I’d come back in the Spring! The area the house is located in, Arroyo Secco, is a gem! It’s a tiny community, about 20 minutes from downtown Taos. It has a delicious healthy cafe, a few little gift shops, a restaurant. It is only 15 minutes to drive to the ski mountain.
The caretaker was completely responsive and the property management company, as well.
