We have never booked Vrbo property before. We really didn't know what to expect. I read the reviews and went by that. The house is huge and the yard at the river is amazing. The only negative is the busy highway that runs right in front of the house Constant traffic and noise day and night.

Host was welcoming and extremely attentive and amenities were in good condition. I wish I had known beforehand that the location is on a busy highway, the yard is not fenced in, and the septic tank is sensitive, but otherwise it was a lovely getaway. I would recommend it if you're looking for a spacious, beautiful place in the area.

We loved everything about this sweet place. The yard and garden is so serene and peaceful. And the house is as cute as it could be. The location worked well for side trips to Abiquiú, the local wineries were fun visits, and all of the locals were friendly and warm. Highly recommend.

Great house on the river!

The backyard was amazing and made the stay here worth it just by itself! Lots of seating right along the river and a picnic table. The flowers and grass were well maintained. The inside of the house had everything we needed for our 2-day stay. The only thing I’ll say is there is no cell service there but they did have WiFi that worked great. Overall we would definitely recommend!

Cozy home, beautiful yard!

The home was clean, cozy and comfortable. Our 4 year old especially loved the sunroom! The backyard was the huge selling point for us and was even more beautiful in person. Lovely plants and trees and direct access to the river. We spent most of our weekend back there! Perfect place for a relaxing, quiet getaway.

Great Location and Fabulous Grounds

This cozy house with fabulous grounds is nestled against the Rio Grande River. We found ourselves spending many hours each day sitting at the river enjoying the large shade trees. This restful spot was well appointed for a group of family or friends and in proximity to both Taos or Santa Fe. The owners were great hosts and communicated well with us. This will be a return location for future travel to the area.
