A lovely studio perfect for 2 people located just at the base of the ski valley. Very convenient for people wanting to spend time on the mountain, with just a short drive into Taos. We will definitely stay again!

Wonderful trip!
This was my second time staying at the Ristra Studio and I hope to be back! Perfect for access to skiing, exploring Taos, and popping over to Taos Cow for some ice cream. Favorite part has to be the porch for clear night stargazing and sunny afternoon reading in the hammock.
This condo has everything you need! Charming southwest decor, an efficient layout, and beautiful views, plus all the supplies you need - whether you want to cook at home or enjoy nearby restaurants. We could easily drive to Taos Ski Valley every morning and explore downtown Taos in the evenings. The location is perfect!! Tyler (the owner) was quick to respond to all of my questions. Wonderful experience all around.
It's a studio, so practicality wins, but it has a great location and everything needed to be comfortable. My biggest suggestion is to ensure you have an AWD or 4WD car to get up the driveway when it starts snowing!
