The house is great for a family, with space for the kids to be upstairs and adults to be downstairs or on the deck. I'd find it difficult to have too many guests (we had just 2 kids with us), especially if you wanted privacy. The whole house is open except for the master, and the hot tub is off that room - so you do hear everything going on. There are 2 queens upstairs, and the master is a king. The game "cabin" is available, and is the smaller "cabin" - with one twin bed. It'd be good if you wanted some quiet time to read peacefully, but I wouldn't want my kid to sleep there alone - I think it'd be scary for them. Nonetheless, it's a nice little nook. There were plenty of towels and kitchen necessities, and it was very clean and well stocked. We spent a lot of time at the kitchen table, with the windows looking over the trees and deck. Be sure to take some umbrella type chairs with you to enjoy the deck. Unfortunately, because of the extended lack of rain, the Carson was closed to us, however, I am positive when it comes back to life with some constant rain, the trees will be brilliant. The Hondo is directly across the street, and you can hear it all day and night. We saw plenty of deer, birds, and even a baby bear cub on the property (glad I didn't see the mama!). It's very close to the resort, which is beautiful. The only negative I had, and this is to be expected in a house in the woods where you sleep with the windows open (no screens) is that the bugs were your constant companion. I don't mind june bugs or moths, or even spiders, but I didn't like the gigantic ants. My 9YO and I just had to pretend that they didn't exist. Lastly, when you travel between Taos and the cabin, there's a great little community called Arroyo Seco and it's is lovely! The people are kind, the art and food is wonderful, and it's a quirky little place to wander around. There's two large grocery stores in town, about a 20+ minute drive. We did have wifi available (thanks, John!), but cell service was pretty much null. I had some service, my husband had none, and we are both on Sprint. Apparently, Taos (proper) and Sprint are not friends. We appreciated that we were felt welcomed in the house, and really loved our time unwinding and appreciating all the beauty.
Enjoy your stay - we did!
