Anniversary getaway

The property was incredibly peaceful with beautiful scenery and the tranquil sounds of the river. We had plenty to do in town and in nature. This home is a place we hope to have the opportunity to stay in again. Maybe this winter for a change of scenery!! Thank you again for allowing us to stay at your property.

Awesome place to stay

This property is wonderful! It looks just like the pictures. It’s only a 2 minute drive from Taos ski valley. You do have to drive about 20 minutes for shopping and for more options in restaurants. There are some shops at Ski Valley and a handful of restaurants. The property is perfect for a family or a big group! We will definitely be staying here again!

Amazing stay

This cabin is a very short drive to the ski valley and is tucked neatly into the mountain forest. The river that runs along the side of the road can be heard from the property, and the views are breathtaking. The pictures do not give the hot tub area justice! There is a privacy fence built from surrounding wood logs that blocks out the road and other properties, leaving just you and nature as you soak. We WILL be staying here again!

Cute log cabin ! Nice getaway, beautiful area . Enjoyed the hot tub and the coziness of cabin .( Unfortunately we mainly came to ride our utv through the mountains so we drove every day to either Red River or Questa area. Not a terrible drive —little less than an Hour each way , but not super convenient. —not good research / planning on our part .) even saw some mule deer on property before we left , so pretty. Super convenient to Taos Ski Valley if one were to ski ! It’s so close it’s right before you enter the ski resort area .

Great older cabin, and as expected, except for unusable hot tub.

Enjoyed the living area and large dining table. We would have really liked to enjoy the hot tub amenity given it was part of the reason we booked this location for our coaches traveling for a race. Unfortunately, the hot tub water was green and smelly, indicating it hadn't been cleaned or treated in some time. No one arrived to clean during our stay, though it would have been unappealing having seen it like this.

Our Happy Place

This is our second time to rent this house and I honestly could go back once a year. Location is perfectly close to TSValley but far away enough from towns to be tranquil. Even though the furniture is not modern or new, it suites the house and is great for not worrying about a kid messing it up. Love the huge kitchen table and the window overlooking the forest below. Grab your coffee and take a dip in the hot tub for a morning wake up. We will be back!

Spring break family trip

The location of home is great being so close to skiing resort.During our stay the power was incorrectly shut off by the hot tub service company. Vacasa/VRBO said it was due to the weather, however upon further investigation on our part we solved the problem. We went 24 hours with no electricity, water, and wifi.i just wish there would have been some apology or comp for 1 night on vacasa’s end.
