Wonderful Family Vacation

My family stayed at the Battle House for seven days while visiting family in the area. The pictures of the house do not do it justice. You must see this property in person. The views are amazing. The home is very cozy and comfortable. Cooking in the open kitchen while enjoying the views was relaxing. Watching the mule deer head down the hill in the morning was such a sight for the kids. There was alot of snow so we had to park at the end of the driveway, however it was very easy to get up and down. The kids enjoyed trekking through the snow and sledding on the hill behind the house. The house is a short drive to the ski lift, rentals and store. If you are looking for a great getaway, we would recommend the Battle House.

Owner response:We are glad you enjoyed your stay in our home and hope you return one day. Tim Battle

My family stayed at the Battle House the week after Christmas and had an amazing time. We frequently use VRBO for our vacations and this is the second time we have stayed in Angel Fire. I can honestly say that the Battle House is one of the best houses we have ever stayed in. The house was well appointed, clean and immediately felt like home. Tim has done a great job decorating the house with art work and made sure everything was thought of. The location of the house could not be better. Waking up to the amazing moutain views was amazing. The house is less than 2 minutes from the slopes down a well maintained road. My 3 kids also spent a lot of time sledding on the hill immediately behind the house. Tim is very organized and payment, check-in and check-out was a breeze. He also provides plenty of information on things to do in Angel Fire. My family and I hope we can rent the house again next year!

Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to tell everyone about your stay in the Battle House. I look forward to your return stay with us. Thanks again. Tim

Battle House was the perfect retreat for my family. So close to the ski area, we were able to come home daily for lunch (and a nap!). The layout of the kitchen, dining and living areas allowed us to be together as a family. Loved having a separate room for ski stuff, as well as a garage to keep us out of the elements when loading/unloading. This past March was our third trip to Angel Fire. Upon leaving, my husband told me to book again for next spring..... Great, great house!!!

My daughters (14 and 7) and I enjoyed a wonderful week in Angel Fire! The Battle House was an amazing property with every thing we needed to enjoy a week in a winter wonderland! The snow was plentiful, the skiing amazing, and coming back to the house was a treat! Every detail has been included in this house to make it a special getaway! We look forward to making this an annual event!

Owner response:Thank you. I'm glad you had a good time. Tim Battle

Exceptional!! Our All Time Favorite Vacation Home (10/2/11-10/12/11)

My husband and I just returned from the best vacation we have ever had. We have stayed at vacation homes for years and “The Battle House” is truly exceptional. From its location, the incredible views, to the inside of the home, this home has it all. The pictures and descriptions cannot begin to describe the beauty of this home, This home has the perfect amount of seclusion (its located on a hill and there are no other homes surrounding it). There is one other home across the road, but that’s it. You are surrounded by woods. The view from the two huge decks is amazing (during our 10 days there we saw a huge herd of elk crossing the road, we had views where we were above the clouds, and we even had snow in October). To wake up in the morning, and see such breathtaking views just made our day. Also, even though this house feels secluded, you are a small drive away from the town of Angel Fire (in fact once you make the short drive down the hill you are at the ski lifts). We went in the fall, so there was no skiing, but we had everything that a fall vacation has to offer. We saw folks walking their dogs up the road each day so it's very safe. Now that’s just the view from the deck. I haven’t even touched on the inside of the home which is truly exceptional and five-star. This home is HUGE and everything is of the highest quality. You can tell that the owner put a lot of time and care into the building of his home. Also, all of the items in the home are top of the line. Upstairs in the HUGE master bedroom there is the most comfortable king size bed, a thermostat controlled fire place (awesome), a comfy leather chair and bookshelves with various novels in case you’re in the mood for reading. There is also a huge walk in closet, hi def tv and gorgeous bathroom. Downstairs is the most comfortable living room with a couch and two chairs, various footrests, large hi-def television with DIRECTV (my husband + football = heaven), to the huge kitchen with top quality stove, microwave, cookware and dishes. There are also two additional beautiful bedrooms and bathroom. Oh and lovely artwork :) Being in Angel Fire, NM and staying at The Battle House gave my husband and I a truly exceptional, relaxing vacation. We have found our new vacation spot and have no need to look further. In fact, it doesn’t get any better than this. I cannot say enough things about this lovely home, the location, or the view. You will not be disappointed.

Owner response:Wow. Glad you enjoyed the home and the Angel Fire community.

Our stay at the Battle House was absolutely perfect. As great as the pictures are, they do not do the house justice. The view is spectacular, you're two minutes away from the lifts, it's secluded, beautifully decorated. Just a hidden treasure on the back side of the mountain. We had a great time and look forward to going back next year. -James, Houston, Texas

Owner response:Gigi Thanks for your great words. Glad you had fun. Tim

Thank you so much, this house is perfect! The living room stretched into the dinning room that stretched into the kitchen and is perfect! It is open but warm and inviting. I loved it! The deck screams to come back in the summer and gaze at Wheeler Peak. The location was great for all that Angel Fire has to offer. Hope to see you again next year...and the next...and the next!! You should be very proud of the house you have built! Thanks again.

Owner response:Thanks Alison. Hope you get to use it again in the Summer and play golf.
