Perfect for 2 couples, one of the nicest places We have stayed. Clean, comfortable and well decorated. Beautiful condo with beautiful views of the mountains to the east, and the sunsets to the west. I would recommend "Serenity" to anyone. We stayed 4 nights, and skied during the day and enjoyed the condo in the evenings. The large patio with gas bar-b-que grill was a great addition. The OBL Restaurant & Spirit shop is less than a mile away. We went there one night for drinks and another night for dinner. The food and atmosphere were great. The owner of the condo was in town during our stay, and she went above and beyond to make our trip great. Thanks Ellen, we are looking forward to returning. Ryan, TX

Great place! Comfortable, clean and stocked with everything one needs for a vacation. The location is a great compromise for skiers and folks looking to enjoy the other (very many!) features of Taos. Easy drive to Taos SKi Valley. Ellen (the owner) is very friendly and helpful. We would love to come back.

We had a great time at Serenity. I was a perfect fit for a family of four on a ski vacation. We have been in Taos many, many times and would highly recommend Ellen's place and her attention to details.

Clay workshop vacation
Guest: Deb

Date of Stay: 07/07/11
Review Submitted: 07/24/11
I had researched a variety of clay workshops both near and far as a way to combine professional development and relaxation. Taos fit the bill perfectly and this condo was perfect place to stay. Ellen is extremely conscientios, and the condo was perfect for us. We do not consider ourselves tourists as we live in Las Cruces, but we are visitors and the information about restaurants and events included in the condo was very helpful. Loved getting up and looking out at the beautiful view of the mountains each morning. The walks were lovely, as was watching the afternoon clouds build for a couple of evenings of rain. Taos clay was right down the road, perfect location. Thanks Ellen for creating a great place to experience Taos, relax, and to "recharge" our batteries! Thank you! Deborah Moore
Owner response:Dear Deborah, I am so happy that your clay workshop was worth attending. I know that the studio was close to my home so that was convenient. I love when folks stay at my place and have these great memories of Taos. Come Back someday. It is always special, every season! -Ellen

Perfect location for our 5 year anniversary. Beautiful surroundings, and a comfortable, romantic condo. Ellen has everything you need at this condo to cook anything you want (seriously), and we ate breakfast each morning outside on the patio. I would absolutely recommend this for any couples heading to Taos. It was amazing.
Owner response:Thank you Matt for picking my home for your special anniversary celebration. I am honored to have had you stay,I am totally into hospitality and I truly want folks to have the best memory of my home that can add to their Taos experience. May you have many more anniversaries ahead. -Ellen

The condo exceeded all expectations

We were excited about our plans to stay at “Serenity” in Taos. Our expectations were far exceeded by the luxury of the condo and the views. What views! Waken to snow covered mountains out the bedroom windows. We spent nine wonderful days in this gorgeous home. Ellen has decorated the home with interesting art work and sculptures. The expansive coffee table contains books, periodicals, and brochures on everything New Mexico. In the kitchen Ellen has supplied every conceivable appliance, condiment, and utensil. The bed room and bath room linens were plentiful and upscale. We experienced a medical issue the second day. Ellen responded with care and compassion, including escorting us to the emergency room, assisting with the check in, and waiting until the all clear. Thank you, Ellen, for your hospitality and caring. We truly experienced serenity.
Owner response:It was my pleasure that you stayed at my home for your honeymoon! It was fun gathering information for you about making wedding plans in Taos. It is a beautiful place to get married. I also am so glad that you called me that night so I could expedite getting you the care you needed. Altitude sickness: It is good for folks to know that my home, and Taos in general, is at 7,200 feet and that coming from sea level for a very few folks might be an adjustment. Also the base of the ski area is at 9,100 feet. One should make sure they are hydrated well before coming up to altitude and a little exercise before arriving can also help get the circulation going.

This condo was really like having a home away from home. It was one of the best stocked condos we have stayed at. Everything was very nice and Ellen was an amazing host. I would feel confident recommending to anyone looking for a 2BR/2BA Condo in the Taos area.

Simply amazing. Everything about Ellen's home was simply AMAZING - from the beautifully decorated interior, to the dream kitchen, to the breathtaking views...amazing. A very quiet, relaxed place that really encourages recharging. Ellen is a extraordinary hostess, making sure that every need is met and all your wants too!
Owner response:It is truly my pleasure to provide you with a wonderful experience. I love hospitality and care so much to make sure that all is perfect. May all be well with you and may future journeys bring you back to Taos and Serenity. With Warmth - Ellen
