The warmth of your home enfolded us as soon as we walked in the door - just plain wonderful. Jill found the soporific nature of your white couch perfect for an afternoon nap. We're very pleased we were able to meet you, although briefly. Thank you so much for letting us share your home. If ever you are in the St.Louis area, please let us share some time with you. Our very best - Ben & Jill

We can't imagine a better place to celebrate the New Year. This place is so homey - seeing Ian, Quinn and the others height marks as they grew up on the doorway of the kitchen entranced our three children. The Hot Tub, fireplace and Holiday lights helped us keep warm through the blizzard and -4 degree temperatures! The views are amazing - we've rented homes in this area before, but yours is far and away our favorite. Many thanks for all your thoughtful touches. We hope to be back next year!

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely home. It certainly was a home away from home. Hopefully we can see this beautiful home and town again one day soon

Thank you for the stay in your wonderful home. It is just like home and having all my family here it was home. We left having acquired one new member of the family (Welcome Syd!) and a grand time was had by all!

Dear India, We cannot thank you enough for letting us stay at your amazing house. We have fallen in love with it and Taos. Terri told us you like scotch so we hope you enjoy this as a small token of our appreciation of your hospitality. We wish we could have met you on this trip but hope to in the future when we return to your home (especially after hearing Terri talk about how wonderful you are)! Thanks again for everything!

My sister and I were on a cross country adventure - our destination being Pebble Beach for the 2010 US Open when we came across this rental on VRBO. We booked the house a couple days to explore the area before we moved on but found we didn't want to leave. So we cancelled the golf trip and stayed for another week! This place is that amazing. From the minute we pulled into the driveway and saw the beautifully landscaped lawns, the views and gardens we knew we weren't leaving anytime soon. Entering the house we could tell that this place was put together so lovingly and with such excellent taste. The art, the furniture, the unique little tchotchkes and personal touches make this place a home away from home. Oh and the beds! So comfortable!!! And the bedrooms are all very light, roomy and airy. I really hated to leave. India was so easy to deal with and is really a cool lady. I will definitely be back. I hope you find this review helpful and book this house for a wonderful vacation, you will not be disappointed.

We came for my daughter's wedding in Questa which turned out beautifully in the wonderful mountain setting. Adding to the lovely experience was our stay in your delightful home. My other daughters, my son-in-law and my grandchildren (8 of us in all) were able to stay together in your spacious accommodations so comfortably and happily. We will all highly recommend the Hatch House. Thank you so much.

This is a beautiful old house. We stayed 7 days and loved every minute. This is a real home where real people have lived which shows in the decor. The appliances are old and sometimes quirky (the microwave is haunted I think :) ), but this adds to the charm. The place is very large, with two living areas. The kids used the den, and the adults used the living room and kitchen. We are ready to go back next year!

We had a great time here! A dog came in the back yard and played soccer with us - the dog won. We played in the snow, we had hot chocolate and we had lots of fun! Thank you for having us here.

From our family to yours we would like to extend the warmest gratitude for opening your home to us. Your home has made our visit to Taos memorable and comfortable as if it is an extension of our home. Truly a wonderful experience for our family. Thank you for your hospitality and we hope we meet in the near future!

Dear India - Thank you so much for making your home available to guests. It was a real treat getting to stay in such a beautiful home with such a perfect environment. We loved all of the personal, family antiques and art - it was wonderfully comfortable. We really hated to leave. Last evening we were sitting outside and said we'd love to just stay and order food for delivery so we could just lounge around the house without ever having to leave!

This beautiful house absolutely has the best energy of any place we've stayed. We can't wait to come back in the summer when the gardens are in bloom! Perfect for more than one family because it's laid out so well...thank you again from all of us! Sarah Brant and family

Entered in the Hatch House Guestbook 3/19/04: Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. We have been coming to Taos for 29 years (9 with children) and have always before stayed at Taos Ski Valley. This was the most relaxing, comfortable and luxurious stay we have ever had!!

This comment was entered in the Hatch House Guestbook: What a great surprise! We really lucked out getting such a nice large house. Really nice to have 2 separate living areas. The snow skiing was great and the leisure was even better! We used you outside grill to cook a beef tenderloin and had margaritas! Thanks for a great trip.
