Saltillo tile floors fill the interior, along with other traditional design features like mosaic accents and natural timber ceilings further accent the home's Santa Fe design school style.

A wood-burning fireplace and comfortable seating options welcome casual downtime in the living room. Radiant floor heat adds a layer of comfort underfoot, while the washer/dryer adds convenience during your stay.

Great house in Taos
Loved the house! Plenty of room for 4 adults and then some. Out in the country but close enough to Taos for dinner etc. It is down a gravel road, and you would need AWD or 4WD in snowy weather.

Overall nice house but not comfortable
We're a group of 5 men, and had a good stay, so I'll start with the positives. The house itself was nice, and there is a lot of privacy, but the location is very confusing to get to, so make sure you have cell service. Each of us got lost at least once. The master bedroom is open to the rest of the house, so no sleeping in. We found the previous tenant's full trash bag in the courtyard. There was a dead mouse floating in the main toilet. The house has no extra blankets. All of the beds are old, loud and creaky. The kitchen had no paper towels, and the ice maker could not keep up. The listing shows a huge stack of firewood, but there's none. We went to cook on the grill, but the cylinder was empty. To sum up, this house was meant only for renting out, not for living in it, so there were many things that fell short as far as comfort. We will not stay here again.

Home away from Home
I could not speak more highly of this property and property owner. My family of four stated very comfortably. We had the best time walking around property. We watched movies, only 20 minutes to town for food or activities. We lived the house therefore we remained around the house the whole time. The only thing I didn't like was some of the decor but that is just a styling preference. I know this decor is very popular in New Mexico. I loved the trees around the property, I loved the open concept living room and kitchen dining area, I loved the light wood beams on the ceiling, so beautiful!! The owner Jeppe was very kind, and helpful. Absolutely helped me with anything I needed. I am very grateful with all that's happening with covid19 that extra cleaning and safety precautions were followed. I hope to stay another time, truly enjoyed my trip. Only problem was that I didn't want to leave. Haha. Blessing to you Jeppe, thank you again.

Nice 4th of July Getaway
This was the perfect location for a short getaway for my husband and me. We were within an hour of so many wonderful hiking trails, and appreciated the privacy of a more secluded lodging. We would definitely recommend this property and welcome the opportunity to stay again should we make it back to the Taos area in the future.

Secluded, clean and good views
Listing description was spot on. Cell service is poor, but house has wifi. It is remote, I would say need 4x4 in rainy conditions plus winter. House is great, awesome wildlife, would revisit. Good location for access into Taos Ski Valley.

Nice House But Poor Choice for Summer Stay
Pros....The house had nice features, lovely patios, very private, hiking right outside your door. Cons....it didn't have a cooling system. (Maybe this is something I should have known, but I didn't and if I had known I would not have booked.) My husband and I were traveling with our two young children (3 years and 18 months). We arrived for check in at 5:15pm and the first floor was 87 and the upstairs was 91. A note in the kitchen suggested we open the windows for "our comfort". It was miserably hot inside and the sun was pouring in on the west side of the house. Even with the windows opened, the house barely cooled that evening. Our kids went to bed sweating and even at 10:30pm the upstairs was still 80. Overnight it cooled and was 67 when we woke. With small children, this was extremely challenging. The windows did allow for a nice breeze but were definitely not designed to be opened and closed every day. The middle bedroom with two twin beds was absolutely useless as it didn't have blackout curtains so the sun came in super strong making it the hottest room in the house. Unless you plan to go to sleep after midnight, the room would be too bright and too hot. A nice feature were the skylights which let in natural light, but since it was summer they let in extra heat and there was no way to darken the room which made nap time challenging. My husband has AT&T and I have Verizon. Neither one of us had cell service while at the house. I attempted to send a message about the temperatures through the VRBO app since we did have wifi but never received a response. It said they didn't use the messaging service but that I could expect a response via email but that never came. We had hoped to stay on the property and relax but due to the inside temperatures we ended up exploring the town most of the time. We're from Texas and are use to the heat but had hoped to have a more comfortable stay. I would not recommend this house for a summer stay unless you want to sweat and open/close windows every morning and night.

this is the place if you want gorgeous scenery, abundant wildlife in a quiet and secluded location!
The house is gorgeous and well decorated. It is well kept and clean upon our arrival for 4 days of relaxing and exploring the area around Taos. We enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and gas grill each night. The low temps were in the 20’s and highs in low 70’s during our stay in mid April. The house remained comfortable during the nights so we never used the huge fireplace in the living area. We had quick response to our questions upon arrival when we got lost inside the community. Cell reception was spotty but texts seem to go through most of the time. The WiFi was good to keep us on line for planning day trips. Don’t miss the Bridge over the Rio Grande Gorge! It was a short 30 minute drive and stop and check out Taos half way there. It was hard to leave the house for sightseeing when we had deer and turkey around the house all day and the porch around the house was so nice. Thanks for a great get away and......We will return!

Taos House of our Dreams!
The home is clean, attractive, and comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked, so we cooked each night instead of going out. The fireplaces (inside and out) are awesome! Lots of room for our family to be comfortable and have fun together. Loved it.

Beautiful house! Private, Clean & Roomy with AMAZING views
Perfect house for our weeklong adventure exploring the Taos area ... Very private, no neighbors, no noise ... amazing views of sunset and sunrise from almost everywhere in the house ... unforgettable watching the milky way and all of the stars from laying in bed (some people might find the bed in the MB a bit too firm) ... huge kitchen with everything we needed ... loved the open layout ... worked out perfectly for family of four ... Thank you!

Beautiful home in an amazing mountain valley setting!
Beautiful, picturesque, peaceful, elegant home near Taos Ski Valley. Proximity to Ski Basin and Town make this home the perfect vacation home. We skied daily and enjoyed some amazing restaurants and museums. The house has every amenity to grill and cook. The outdoor fireplace and the New Mexico night sky was memorable. We loved our stay and will return!
