Excellent Home for the Holidays

My family included 5 adults who were staying in the house (visiting from California), and 4 other adult family members and a dog who came by in the evenings for dinner (locals). No kids with us. Upon arrival, all heaters were turned up and plentiful linens/towels were clean and neatly stocked. The place is decorated like a regularly lived-in home as opposed to a typical vacation rental where decorations and appliances often get retired to. The kitchen is also very well stocked with all the tools you need to cook large meals. What impressed me the most was the ease of getting in touch with the owner and his level of responsiveness. He truly thought of everything....anything that could potentially result in a question - for example, "how do I turn on and off the TV/speaker/entertainment system", or, "what's the internet access code", etc. - he has already thought of and provided instruction on how to manage. It was easy to simply go on "auto-pilot" once we arrived, which enabled us to relax instantly. Being a regular vacation home renter, this was a big deal to me. So many places don't take the time to think of the little stuff! One other reason I picked this house was the plentiful dining space between the dining table and nearby kitchen island. I had become exasperated on my initial search for a place with dining space that could accommodate as many people as the bedrooms slept....and this was one of the few places where the living and dining space could fit the whole family. Kudos to Tim for allowing my family to have a pleasant and relaxing Christmas with no fuss. Comfortable, warm, cozy, convenient, and gorgeous scenery. This was a perfect vacation to establish a tradition and make new memories.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for the kind review. It means the world to me to have families make holiday memories at Casa Milagro.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Milagro. It's in a great location with awesome views! We had our dogs with us, and it was perfect for them as well...the fenced yard gave them plenty of space to explore :-)...what a great weekend - we will be back for sure!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, sightseeing.

Great home that captures the southwest culture of the region near Taos, NM! Mountains are visible through the back windows of the home - we enjoyed watching rain storms rolling over the mountains in the distance, the sunrise & even hot air balloons filling the sky early one morning. The home is very warm & inviting with SW decor, comfortable beds & furniture, hot tub, fenced in front yard for the dogs, very private but close enough to town for a short trip to sight-see & shop. Taos is in a beautiful area & is not over developed like Santa Fe. The home owner was excellent to work with & helped make this a very easy rental experience. I Highly recommend this property - thanks Tim for sharing your beautiful home!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My wife and I decided it was time to take our two children 4 & 3 to the mountains to see what they think of snow and skiing. We really don't like sharing a hotel room with them (we ALL have to go to sleep at 8:00) so we rent vacations homes often. In addition my parents joined us since they like Taos, snow skiing, and grandkids. The entire trip was perfect, and a lot of that I give credit to Casa Milagro and the owner Tim. The home was perfect for us with two bedrooms that have kings and a third bedroom with two additional beds (queen & a twin). It has a great layout, you don't feel on top of each other. Plenty of eating and family space. Well stocked (we brought a bunch of stuff like soap, napkins, salt / pepper since many VR's don't have these, but Casa Milagro has it all - just bring food). My personal favorite of the house is the sun room / porch. It is setup great to sit in, read a book, and soak up sun while the family naps. I really miss that. The location was great for us right between the town and the ski valley. You were away from the lights (great for watching stars), noise, hecticness but close enough still to enjoy whenever you want (you do need a car - just an FYI). Tim was very honest and easy to work with. He was accessible when we had questions, but wasn't intrusive or demanding. If that review isn't glowing enough, just know we have already asked Tim if he has more availibility later this year.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

This rental home was very comfortable and we felt like we were home. We would rent it again. It had great mountain, sunset and city views. Also, it is perfect for pets because it had a fenced area to keep the dogs in and a doggie door. We spent a lot of time outside in both the back and front yards and when we were inside we spent it in the wonderful kitchen. I would highly recommend it to families.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

The experience with Tim (the owner) was, from the very beginning, above and beyond what anyone could ask for. The amazing photographs don't begin to do the property justice, and the hospitality that was shown by Tim made the stay that much more memorable. Hot tub was clean, hot and ready to go. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in - this coming from a foodie and cooking enthusiast. Everything was just absolutely beyond expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again at any of Tim's properties.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Donnie, Thanks for the kind review. You guys were wonderful, ultra- considerate guests. I sincerely hope you will come back and stay at Casa Milagro again (soon). Big congratulations on your wedding engagement! All the Best to you both with the new life adventures that lie ahead. Your new friend, Tim

We had a memorable experience on our Christmas stay in Tim's cozy house. Not only it has a stunning views, but also it is comfortable enough to accommodate our group of 9 ppl (6 adults + 3 kids). More importantly, it's located right on the way to Taos Ski Valley, which makes our daily skiing trip fairly easy. We're all happy to dwell in Tim's Casa Miagro and will come back later.Recommended for: Families with young children

My husband and I and 3 friends spent the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011 in Taos at Tim's house. We arrived and were blown away. Fire built in the fireplace, ready to go...hot tub steaming in the fenced in yard...incredible views...comfortable beds (2 king beds!) and a totally stocked kitchen. Also the house was very clean and there were bath towels, hot tub towels, extra pillows, etc etc (which I loved! Who wants to share 2 small pillows on a king bed or use your damp hot tub towel after a shower?? Not me!) We felt right at home, and our puppy, Izzie had a great time in this dog-friendly (check with Tim first!) home. There is even a dog door to the fenced in front yard, which was great! Tim was so laid back about everything but also was very attentive to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The location was prime - close to the ski valley and close to both Arroyo Secco and Taos for outings/dinners/shopping/etc. You don't want to miss this place. The photos are good, but hardly do it justice! We had a fabulous time and plan to come back in the fall or summer to enjoy another season in Taos at this property!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Congratulations on your recent marriage and new life together. You guys were wonderful, considerate guests! It is hard work maintaining a quality vacation rental home but reviews like the one you posted above make it all worthwhile. Thanks and come back soon, Tim

Perfect Family Christmas!

Our family of 4 plus our pooch stayed at this wonderful house over Christmas and it was the perfect trip! The layout of the house with 3 bedrooms (although we only used 2) was so convenient, it was nice to stay at the opposite end of the house from the kids! Having the completely stocked kitchen made it so nice to stay home and enjoy our time together. We even took our small Christmas tree and stockings to hang by the chimney with care. The hot tub was the perfect place to relax and soothe away Christmas stress. I also can't say enough about how kind and accommodating the owner is. We want to come back again and again to stay. We definitely felt like we were guests in a friend's home, not a sterile hotel or condo.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: It is so gratifying to be able to provide a place where special family memories are made. I am delighted that you I had a nice Christmas in Taos and appreciate your kind words of reivew.

My family has stayed at this wonderful house in July the last two summers. We all loved it. The three bedrooms meant no one had to sleep on a sofa (which has happened at other houses). The location is perfect - in between Taos and the Ski Valley - and very close to Arroyo Seco and the ice cream at the Taos Cow. Well off the road, it is private and quiet. The view from the back porch must be one of the best in Taos - the vista has to be at least 30 miles. And the house is very dog friendly. The front yard (which also has great views from its patio) is enclosed so we could leave for a couple of hours without worrying about our 11 year old lab. Thanks for another great summer.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Wonderful home to rent, nicely furnished and makes for a very enjoyable stay. The kitchen is nicely equipped for cooking (although we ate out). Views either by day or night from the backyard covered patio are striking and very relaxing. While we were in Taos for sightseeing, this house, which is located north of Taos in El Prado, would make for a great, central location for either skiing in nearby Taos Ski Valley or just seeing Taos at your leisure. Restaurants on the northside of Taos are good and quite convenient. The Owner was very responsive to any request that we had. We'd definitely come again!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We enjoyed staying in this home and found Tim, the owner, to be extremely helpful and responsive to our needs. The house has a comfortable, intimate feel, yet there is plenty of space to spread out. The gathering place for us (4 adults, 3 children) was the kitchen, which has a large island and plenty of seating. The kitchen comes fully equipped. The home is laid out with split bedrooms, with a nice-sized living room with fireplace, and a sunroom spanning the length of the back side of the house, with banks of windows and sitting areas for viewing the mountains during the day and enjoying the lights of Taos at night. We found the location of this home to be ideal, convenient to both Taos Plaza and the Ski Valley.Owner response: Thank you for the kind words of review. I am delighted that you and your family enjoyed your stay and hope you will be able to schedule another visit to Taos this year. All the Best, Tim
