Incredible lodging. Very cozy and clean. Perfectly located between Angel Fire and Taos. Awesome communication from the host. We would love to stay there again sometime.
My family enjoyed staying here! It’s in a beautiful spot with an awesome outdoor area. My kids loved the hot tub! The house is clean and beautiful! We would definitely come back.
Overall, a very nice property. Cute and tucked away from the main road. The only reason I gave this 4 stars was due to the driveway/parking being a little tricky with a large truck and the snow we had in February.
Our stay in the chalet at the foot of a mountain was delightful. When we did communicate with the property manager the response was always prompt and helpful. We hope to come back again soon.
Well-built beautifully equipped home in between Taos and Angelfire! Close neighbors have roosters that definitely make themselves known at sunrise. Turning around in driveway pretty difficult for an SUV/truck as backing out is not an option. Could use some curtains in bedrooms for those that want to sleep in if you can with the roosters… ha! Still, lovely place and would definitely stay again. Bring a portable speaker if you want music in house… my only regret when packing! Lovely outdoor fire-pit area and hot tub!

As indicated in our Welcome Guide, there are two options for turning around at the end of our road between the barn-house and the brown shack at the end of the lane. A driver of a 21 foot truck/suv can perform a three point turn in that area or use the neighbors parking area next to their home to turn around. Although turning around in front of our chalet is possible and many guests elect to do so, it is a lot easier to use the designated spaces outlined in our Welcome Guide.
