Perfect Taos getaway

My family of four stayed in this property for a week. We skied, relaxed, and spent time in Taos. This home had a perfect layout for us - plenty of space, a well-appointed kitchen, a pool table, and a hot tub. The location was great - a beautiful area close to town and to the ski resort. Highly recommend!

Great family ski vacation!

We brought our 3 kids (6,10,12) to ski at Taos. The house was amazing - kitchen had everything you needed, we could park our car in the garage, and the living space was big enough for everyone to spread out and relax. The hot tub is an added bonus - the view of the mountain in you are out before dark is really spectacular.

Taos Summer Getaway

There is hardly anywhere else on earth that I enjoy visiting more than Taos NM. The vibe is spiritual and restorative and the weather is spectacular. This home in El Prado was ideal for our family. It was reasonable and comfortable. The house had every amenity we could need. We loved the hot tub and outdoor patios. It would be nice to have a bench or shower chair in the master shower. The property is not air conditioned but the fans in the rooms kept the house cool at night. We definitely will recommend this property and plan on staying here again in the future.

El Prado, NM

The house was in a good location to go into Taos, to the Rio Grande, and into the mountains. The hot tub was nice and the kids enjoyed the pool table. There were lots of games and puzzles available. The kitchen was well stocked. We did experience a couple of power outages during our stay, which seem to be somewhat normal for the area (due to weather?). It made parking in the garage a bit risky, so we stuck to the driveway. This also knocked out the internet going to the Wifi router, so we were without internet for most of our stay. The owner was responsive to our questions regarding the outages. The kids were concerned about the spiders they found in the house, but the landscape is pretty rustic New Mexico, so not surprised about bugs. Overall the property fit our needs.

Everything we were hoping for...

My husband Jeff and I along with our dog Obi spent 3 wonderful weeks at this lovely home. The house is in a beautiful location. Close enough to all of Taos's offerings, ski, food,hiking,shopping,markets,Taos Plaza, Arroyo Secco, etc. but far enough away to enjoy wide open spaces, beautiful sunsets and sunrises as well as starry nights. Magical! The pool table is a super fun perk as well as the hot tub in the private yard. The rooms are all nice size and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, linens were lovely and the towels thick and lush. Another extra perk was the pile of firewood that we enjoyed every evening in the big adobe fireplace in the living room. Wifi was good as well for remote working. It was especially nice to have an enclosed garage out of the elements with easy access to the house. Our host Margaret, could not have been more accommodating and available for anything we needed. We will definitely return to this home away from home .

Lovely Home

This home worked great for our family of 5. It was spacious and well supplied with everything possible. Plenty of room and the pool table was a big hit with everyone. The hot tub is wonderful for those chilly New Mexico evenings! The location was great. Just far enough away from Taos to avoid the traffic and noise and close enough that we could be there in a few minutes. So many things to do in the area. We enjoyed hiking, rafting, and taking an ATV into the mountains around Red River. We checked out all 3 ski areas and loved the little town of Red River. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect space

This home was absolutely lovely. Owner was responsive in communication. Having several separate spaces including two outdoor spaces made it easier to use with two families. Lots of openness, but enough separation for privacy. Mountain views and temperatures were wonderful. We have stayed in this area many times. This was one of our favorites. Also easy access to restaurants and hiking trails.

Great Place to use as a base for exploring the Taos Area

We had a great time in Taos and Margaret's home made for a great base of operations. Myself, wife and three kids were all very comfortable. There was plenty of space to spread out and enjoy ourselves and the pool table saw lots of action. The location of the place was far enough out of Taos that we had decent privacy but we were still within easy driving distance to the Taos Ski Valley, Taos Pueblo and other outdoor adventures. We even did a white water rafting trip in the Rio Grande Box (Class 4) where we ended up spending a day in the house recuperating with bumps and bruises. :P Fun times!

We had the most incredible time staying at your beautiful home. We enjoyed the outdoor patio, the hot tub and the pool table every evening. The beds were comfortable, we could not have enjoyed our stay anymore. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy your lovely property again.
