A Peaceful and Beautiful Location

This was a beautiful and rustic home and setting. Just far enough out of town to be quiet and peaceful. The porch was amazing, especially at sunset. Plenty of room to relax, cook, eat and enjoy. Excellent choice for our Taos family gathering.

perfect getaway with friends

The property was amazing as was the setting. We were in a pretty rural setting that was quiet and encouraged long walks and wine on the patio as the sun went down. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils which made cooking and eating-in very enjoyable. Absolutely no complaints about the house, the setting or the host. All was superb.

Five Stars

We are three adult couples, with some needing to work remotely, and this house comfortably accommodated us. Perhaps the coolest feature is a wrap-around, covered porch with ample seating and lounging and satisfying views of the vicinity and beyond to the mountains. We enjoyed a great family get together here!

A joyful, beautiful stay!

We came with a small group of friends, and loved every moment of our time here. The patio is wonderful. Sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous. The house had everything we needed -- places to gather, and places to hide away and read, work, contemplate, a terrific kitchen where we could make meals together. The host is kind and communicative, answering any and all our questions right away. We can't wait to come back! Many, many thanks to Gail for her hospitality.

We Got Lucky

The house was great! We were four adults and we had lots of room to move and to be quiet when we wanted. With four bedrooms the house can hold many more, but we like extra space when we travel. We appreciated that the house was off the beaten path even though it’s only minutes from town. The isolation made for a very relaxing stay. And if you’re looking for quiet, this is the place! We spent lots of time on the verandah looking at the spectacular views and listening to…nothing. Our host, Gail, was very helpful and accommodating. She answered a bunch of questions for us before we made the trip and was available by text/phone while we were there. All said, it was a wonderful experience! You never know with vacation rentals until you get there. We got lucky with this one!

Wonderful big Taos home with everything you need. Ample bedrooms and bathrooms for a party of 7-8 people. Close enough to town for last minute groceries. We sat on the porches, enjoyed the local sites and spent multiple days on the ski hill.

Definitely better than I was expecting!

There were some dodgy reviews of the property but the price fit our budget, so we were prepared to be satisfied but not wowed. Our experience from the get-go was absolutely wonderful! Gail (the owner) is super communicative, proactively providing us with tips and even local deals. She went out of her way to ensure that our arrival was easy, as we were taking a long road trip to get there and arrived late and exhausted. We were so grateful for her personal touches! The property is both isolated and centrally located, which was perfect for us. Down a long driveway, with soul-inspiring views that made us all go outside to breathe in the beauty both during the mornings and the sunsets. The house itself is helpfully stocked with random things that just make you feel like you're crashing at a friend's place -- herbs and spices, tupperware, lots and lots of plates and flatware, everything you need to make big, wonderful meals with your loved ones. And a large table for everyone to sit around, eating those meals and playing games. The primary bathroom is a dream!!! Everyone had to take at least one shower up there, just to experience it! Lastly, it's so dang comfy! Our four teenagers, my 85-year-old father, and my partner and I were all able to relax and feel at home. It's nice, well-appointed, but not formal or stuffy. There are plenty of spaces for gathering, and also nooks where quieter folks can take a break from the chaos. Overall, just a lovely place to hang out.

Convenient location and well equipped.

The location was great, just a few minutes drive from the plaza and the home had absolutely everything you could ever need to cook as well as plenty of bedding and towels. The home had lots of space for our family of 5 - 4 adults and 1 child - and the mini pool table and corn hole games were a fun addition. There was a slight issue with the accuracy of the listing, but that was no fault of the owner and it was addressed immediately. Communication with the owner was stellar - she is very responsive and handled our requests perfectly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to others.

Wonderful, Relaxing and Great Location!

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at this property and spent much time enjoying the beautiful views from the veranda. Enough space for each of us to have privacy of our own bedrooms and baths and comfortable gathering areas for us to hang out together. Modern amenities and fully equipped. Very close to the plaza with country like setting. The property owner was very attentive. Will definitely stay here again when in Taos.

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Property Manager

I was born in Perth, Western Australia and moved to Taos when I learned and became hooked on skiing. Taos is a wonderful ski area in that it is challenging and the people are very friendly. After initially spending only winters in Taos, I soon realized that Taos is a wonderful place year round. I love to hike and mountain bike with friends and my dog Lilly.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property not only because the house had a nice floor plan, but because it sits on a large piece of land, close to town with amazing views as it sits up on a hill overlooking the town of Taos. It has a lot of trees, both natural and that I planted which thrive due to an acaquia that runs through the property providing lots of water in the spring and summer. It did take a lot of renovating, love and decorating to get the house and the gardens to the state they are in today.

What makes this property unique

My house will feel more like a home than a rental as I use it often for friends and family, so it has nice furnishings, bedding and will have most things you would need at your own home. As the house sits on a hill overlooking Taos to the west, the sunsets are amazing and it is great to enjoy them from the wrap around verandah. It is great to stay at such a private spot yet be just minutes from town. Come enjoy my piece of Taos paradise.
