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.
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!
This was our second time staying here!! Feels like home among beautiful fruit trees,nestled next to the Rio Grande! Comfortable and cool! Excellent location! Great hosts!! Hope to be back next year!!
The property is amazing. So many plants and trees to attract birds and butterflies. The river literally is right in the backyard. Very beautiful. The house and kitchen are roomy and well appointed. Check in simple. The owners are friendly and responsive. Would definitely love to return.
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.
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.
This property was a paradise on the river! Truly relaxing! It has lots of space to enjoy the outdoors as well as a bbqing patio that is covered. This has a big kitchen and a super comfortable living space. The beds were also perfect! The hosts were wonderful too!! We would definitely come back and stay longer! Close to river rafting and the Dixon Coop! Loved our stay! Thank you!

Beautiful property on the river with back yard trees and grass leading to river.
lots of space! well appointed home necessities and very responsive owner.
we will be back!
Beautiful location in Northern New Mexico on the banks of the Rio Grande. The interior was comfortable and functional. Adjusting temperatures and getting a comfortable air flow was sometimes challenging. The place would benefit from more screened windows to reduce reliance on window AC. Condition of nearby properties reflects Northern New Mexico funkiness.
This well maintained riverfront property is meant to be enjoyed. Our multiple night stay had our family sad to leave! With easy highway access to the property, the experience is transformed in the backyard with private river access underneath the cottonwoods with lush grass at your feet. A fully stocked comfortable home where we cooked, played games, fished, watched movies, etc. The home is conveniently located near a large farmers fruit stand, historic state site of Los Luceros, art studios, national parks, wineries, and one amazing museum across the street! We hope to return again.
Fully stocked home with kitchen essentials for cooking or grilling. Cabinet full of board games, updated cooling units throughout the home. My teenager fly fishing from the back yard while my husband grills are memories unmatched. We always visit Pilar for fishing, Velarde for roadside fruit stands, wineries, gas museum, Taos, the gorge, and so much more. It’s an understated residence that is rustic and water conservation awareness lends to a greater experience.
This property has a ton of potential. The backyard was a bit overgrown and there were bugs all over one of the outdoor chairs, but there is a picnic table out there, which we made good use of while my son-in-law was fishing. Note that there is not a washer and dryer, so bring enough clothes for your entire stay unless you want to spend your time going to a laundromat. A Keurig machine would be a great addition! Bring your ground coffee.None of that was a game changer. We still had a great time and really enjoyed the sunroom, the river and the views!
