This 2400 square foot home is beautifully constructed, a pumice home built in adobe style by a local real estate agent for his personal use. The home owner now purchased Momentitos from this real estate agent. The inside has many extra nice and high quality features. Views towards the mountains from the kitchen, master bedroom and the east facing patio are stunning. The open living room, kitchen and dining area makes for a great gathering place. Momentitos is pet friendly. The Latilla and Adobe wall fences completely surround the home protecting the patio from the wind and giving the home a very secluded feeling. The master bedroom is large with a king bed and a fireplace. The bathroom has tub and shower with double soap stone sinks. The walk in closet has built in drawers.
The other two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the living area. There is a queen bed in one and the third bedroom has two twins that can be made into a very comfortable king. A small computer desk is placed in this room if you need to do some work. A day bed sits next to a wall in the living area for an extra bed if needed.
The kitchen is well equipped and easy to use. The home owner visits quite often and enjoys cooking. The home has very thing you need for a comfortable and great vacation. Just bring your clothes and groceries.
Momentitos is 13 miles from the Taos Ski Valley and about six miles from the center of Taos, just two miles from the artisan village of Arroyo Seco with a natural food market, cafes, restaurants, and authentic New Mexico retail and art galleries.

Perfect location, a few minutes outside of Taos and less than 30 minutes to Taos Ski Valley. Property was great and had everything we were looking for. Excellent scenic views from the backyard as well.
The property is ideally located between Taos and Taos Ski Valley and away from the traffic and busyness of both. All the comforts of home are available and the host is easy to work with. Great rental property for families!

Not awful but not amazing
It was tidy on the surface but that was about it. The kitchen was underwhelming and very poorly stocked, being able to cook there was a bust. No seasonings as simple as salt, no foil, etc. The dishwasher was disgusting, I’m not sure the filter had ever been cleaned and smelt horrible. I cleaned it for about 30 minutes. I had to call the property manager twice to get dishwasher pods and anything to clean the countertops with. I couldn’t find one towel that wasn’t soured. The clothes washer smelt horrible while it was running. The overall space for our family was great but that was about it.
Stayed here for a ski trip in early Feb. The snow was great and this house was a great spot for easy access to the mountain as well as Arroyo Seco and Taos. House was clean and spacious with a great outdoor area that would be nice in the summer.
Our stay here was amazing. We had a group along with some dogs and the yard was perfect for them. The hot tub was amazing and the house had everything that we needed to be comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was conveniently located just outside of Taos.We particularly enjoyed the Mountain View in the mornings.

Great place.
Management was friendly and easy to deal with. House was in a great location, very clean very nice. Everyone in our party was comfortable and had a great time. Will try and stay here again if we come back.
This home is conveniently located between TSV and town. Wendy made it very easy to communicate check in. The fridge wasn’t working and she was able to get it fixed promptly. Sunsets from the hot tub were beautiful!

Beautiful house, great views. Perfect for our weeklong stay.
We very much enjoyed staying at Momentitos. The house did not disappoint and the back porch area was delightful. Spent the evening's watching the sunset and the days out exploring. Leaving very relaxed.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Momentitos. The property is well kept and the house is comfortable and laid out well with the master bedroom on one side of the house and the other two bedrooms on the other side. The property manager, Wendy, reached out with very good directions to the property as well as giving contact information in case of any issues. Given the clear professionalism of the manger, coupled with a comfortable well maintained property, I would certainly rent this house again.
