While we might look like a new listing, that's actually not the case! After working with a property management company for the last year, we've decided to manage the property ourselves. Here's what past travelers have said (*listings were under prior management company and property manager at time of review*):
"The house was easy to find and only 20 mins from the mountain. It was clean and in a very quite area. Only ran into a lock issue but the caretaker was on top of it. Highly recommend the rental."

"A group of eight of us traveled to Taos for a long ski weekend. The house was the perfect size for our group, and the location couldn't have been better. We would definitely stay here again!"

"One of the few places that can comfortably house a larger group in Taos. Located right on the edge of town which is convenient for getting into town and up to the Ski Valley (about 20 minutes). House itself is on a very nice property and was well appointed. The additional casita was helpful with our larger group as well. Everyone enjoyed the stay and had nothing but good things to say about the property."

Once you're booked and ready to go, we'll put you in touch with our Caretaker (or as we like to say, our extended Taos family member) who will be your go-to during your stay.
Check-in is 4PM and Check-out is 10AM. Please let us know if alternative arrangements are needed and we will try to accommodate to the best of our ability. The House and Casita are both equipped with electronic deadbolts that will issue a fresh code for each new booking. For the security of our guests and the safety of the property, an external security camera is located on the front porch of each home. Please note that the property does not allow pets and if this is violated, an additional $500 will be charged to cover the cost of a deep clean to allow the space to be an allergy-friendly listing.
On the Mesa, noise carries. We hope you enjoy the night stars from the hot tub, but please be mindful of our neighbors and respect the posted quiet hours.
