About this property

Mountain VIEWS! Covered DECK! Walk to the Bavarian, Hiking trails, Chair Lift 4

This condo is nestled high (10,000 ft. elevation) in the Kachina Valley between Wheeler and Kachina Peak. It is 1.7 miles up from the main Taos Ski Valley. It is adjacent to the Williams Lake Trail Head and walking distance (7 minutes) to TSV Lift 4 and the delicious guest favorite Bavarian Restaurant. There is a 1.7 mile stretch of a well maintained gravel road that requires 4WD or chains in the winter. Summer travelers will do fine with 2WD/AWD. Young children (grade school and younger) might find the walk to ski life to be a bit much in ski gear.

There are several small appliances including a blender, toaster, large fridge, ice maker/dispenser, water dispenser, microwave, stove top, oven, a wide array of pots, pans (including large pot to boil pasta) and dishes, some pantry staples such as flour, sugar, salt, pepper, steak spice, olive oil, spay oil, wine opener, wine aerator and a large propane grill on the covered deck.

Spring break ski trip
The rental had a great floor plan with the primary bedroom in the back. The dining/living room was very spacious. It was wonderful having 2 bathrooms, especially having a soaking tub in the primary! There were spectacular views from every window! I can’t say enough about the amenities: large heated garage, washer & dryer, small appliances, and all basic cooking essentials. We walked to Lift 4 in the morning. The steep driveway can be slick, so be cautious. We will definitely stay here in the future.

Graduation Trip 2024
The place was amazing, it was very well equipped and we really appreciated that. We were stuck in for 2 days because of horrible winds and everything we needed was there. We did lose power several times and needed communication with owners and the messages were returned immediately, and very helpful. My brother in law and I took our kids that had just graduated college and with all the games etc. we had plenty to keep us busy. We finally got to ski the last day and it was amazing. The listing does say “hot tub” and there is not a hot tub, other than that it is amazing and I hope to return next year and ski more. Thanks for having us.

as advertised.
If you go in winter to ski, you need snow tires and front wheel drive at a minimum. the condo was comfy. the heated floors take awhile and the hot water is perhaps shared so we could not take more than one shower in a one hour period. It is not ski in/out so the walk is a hike with skis or someone to drop you off at the Bavaria House. Beds were very comfortable and pet friendly!

Fabulous Views!
We had a great stay the week before Christmas. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. You definitely feel like you're driving to the mountaintop as you wind up the road to get there, but with AWD it was easy, even with snow. The views were beautiful; the condo was well stocked including condiments and tin foil, zip lock bags, laundry soap, etc; the seating in the heated garage was perfect for getting on and off ski gear; and proximity to the ski hill was close enough to walk. We are from Colorado and had never skied Taos. We were so pleasantly surprised by how over the top friendly and accommodating everyone was and there were no crowds or lines. We would definitely go back!

Impossible views, impossibly clean and impossibly well appointed
We had a wonderful stay in this condo for our weekend participating in the Bull of the Woods Half Marathon. The condo was the perfect place for getting to the start line and for recuperating afterwards. The condo has everything you would ever need and was super clean. The bathrooms are elegant with soaking tubs and the kitchen has everything to make a great meal. The cozy living room and gas fireplace took the chill away after the rain started. And you won’t believe the views and solitude from the condo’s patio. Kachina basin is spread out before you - beautiful and peaceful - whether you have a cup of coffee or glass of wine in your hand. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful condo tucked way up in the mountains
Everything is new and well maintained - the fanciest place we stayed all summer. But be aware it's a 2 mile dirt rd to the ski village and another 1/2 hr to Taos. So bring everything you want on day 1. Trail Head to Wheeler Peak is right outside the front door and the food at the Bavarian is good, though summer hrs are short. There is a lot of construction in the area during the summer which didn't bother us too much as we were hiking, but something to be aware of. Internet was great for such a remote location.

Cooler temps in the mountains a summer relief
We drove from North Texas to escape the heat and were not disappointed with this awesome condo in Taos Ski Valley. The condo was was nicer than we had anticipated and we felt we got a great value for our stay. Being walking distance to a hiking trail and a restaurant was awesome. I highly recommend.

5-Star Experience ⭐️
At 10,000 feet ASL, it’s a true mountain getaway. We escaped the Texas heat and enjoyed a week at this property. The condo is CLEAN, well-equipped, the owners are very thoughtful, and it’s the perfect base to explore all that Taos has to offer. Directly across from the Williams Lake & Wheeler Peak parking lot (trailhead), the location couldn’t be any better for hikers. My favorite part of each day was reading scripture and drinking coffee on the balcony while watching the hummingbirds feed. The grill was perfect for our dinners and we enjoyed games and movies each night. You are on a mountain, so plan accordingly. Most groceries are purchased in town and hauled up the mountain. Smith’s grocery was great as a one stop shop. Make sure to check out Taos Fly Shop if you fish, Far Flung Adventures for white water rafting (recommend a full day Taos Box trip), and a visit to Williams Lake. The roundtrip up to Wheeler Peak (13,161 feet) was awesome and took us 6 hours 16 minutes to complete 💪 Thank you Kyle and Crystal for sharing your mountain home with us. Our family (including our golden retriever), had a 5-star stay. We hope to return during ski season ⛷️

About the host

Hosted by Kyle Zottnick

Host profile image
Kyle and Crystal, along with a few family members, pooled resources to purchase this awesome Taos Ski Valley condo late summer of 2014. Recently married, we are a combined family with our college base ball player, Shane and our Siberian Husky mix named Timber. We reside in Albuquerque, NM and frequently enjoy the condo.

Why they chose this property

We’ve been skiers for three decades. Taos ski area is large and world class but it has a small town local vibe. There are year round activities up in the valley so we found ourselves looking just as forward to our summer visits. There is nothing like the feel of the warm sun in the cool mountain air. The views of Kachina and Wheeler peak are incredible. From the master suite are views of Gold Hill. The location is spectacular.

What makes this property unique

Use of the owners over sized garage will ease the burden of having to lug your skies, boots, bikes, or gear up to the condo. In the garage you will find a heated space with ample room for your automobile too. No scraping snow and ice off your vehicle upon departure and no worries about locking up your bikes and skies.
