About this property

El Salto Compound-Private setting on 3 acres with trees- 3 separate homes

Arroyo Seco - El Salto area - 10 miles to Taos Ski Valley - 2 miles to Arroyo Seco Village and 8 miles to Taos, NM

El Salto Log Compound is one of Premiere's largest properties sleeping 18 guests in 8 bedrooms (includes 2 lofts) and 6.5 bathrooms. The compound boasts 2 hot tubs, 3 kitchens, 3 living rooms, 2 large flat screen TV's and one standard flat screen TV.

The awesome design and architecture of El Salto the log home sends guests home with a most memorable vacation stay and a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience an authentic log home. The Guest Cabin (located next to El Salto Log Home) and Private Cabin (nestled by itself at bottom of tree protected drive) offer efficient separation for large groups wanting to stay "together" with a sense of privacy and togetherness all at once.

The guest house proximity to the log home makes it a perfect separation for children and teens to have their own space to watch big screen TV and play table games for day time and early evening recreation. Two hot tubs means most everyone who wants to soak will find hot tub space at any given time. The luxury of 3 kitchens means that separate families can separately prepare food and convene for group meals. A piano in in place as an added attraction for groups - there is always someone who plays the piano and always many who love to sing along with a piano player.

This Taos cabin, guest house and log home vacation spot is a gem of a find in the Premiere Properties Taos Vacation Rentals inventory. We promise, you will run home and delight friends and family with photos and tales of your Taos lodging experience at El Salto Log Home Compound.

Sleeping Arrangements:
Main House can sleep 8 with King, King, Queen and a trundle (2 twin beds) in the loft
Guest House can sleep 6 with King, King and 2 Twins in the loft plus a twin sleeper sofa in the living room

This was great for our group of 15! The rooms and beds were comfortable. Everyone had space to spread out. The main house was great for cooking and relaxing as a group. The kitchens had everything you need in terms of appliances and cooking utensils. Location was close to the skiing and town for fishing/ shopping/ eating out. The house was very clean which we really appreciated and the grounds were beautiful (amazing views from the hot tub).

Taos get away

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the place if you have a large group of older adults it gives everyone space and privacy. It was easy to get to from the airports and about 24 mins from the ski resort. We loved having the fire places. The caretaker was responsive to our questions regarding the trash compactor to ensure everything with smoothly. The only issue to note was that after we left and locked up the hot tub it started to empty itself so I would recommend taking a photo prior to departure and if you have some larger folks in the group keep the hot tube to a minimum or it will siphon itself.

This place really needs to be upgraded. Faucets are loose, one of the bathrooms was unusable and was locked off in the guest house so the usable bath has a tiny sink and shower. The CO2 alarm went off at 11:30 pm in the cabin - 5 short beeps and then pause- which internet says evacuate. Two of us had to go to main house and sleep on couch. Caregiver says was fine the next day, just battery but we were then concerned about our safety. Refrigerator in the main house went out and we lost some food. Learned it has to be reset sometimes. Dishwasher needs to be reset intermittently too Stovetop is very difficult to figure out , but it works.. sort of - if you don't need to boil water. Beautiful location and place

Taos birthday gathering.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This compound was the perfect place to gather my family and friends for a celebration of my 70th birthday. It was large enough to accommodate all of us, we were at capacity, and still allowed us privacy and comfort. Having three separate dwellings really helped. My niece and her young family were able to care better for their children, everyone had a good bed, and there were three full kitchens to accommodate our love for cooking and gathering for shared meals, and plenty of bathrooms. The large hot tub was a real gift as several guests are hikers and enjoyed the relax after hiking. The rest of us found time in the hot tub too! The trees surrounding the compound gave us privacy and beauty, the sunsets from the deck were breathtaking. We had easy access to all that Taos and the surrounding area had to offer. In other words, it was perfect for us and I think it would be for others that want to gather many loved ones together!I will say just twoother things. Our host Denise was terrific when called upon to answer questions and solve problems. And I do hope that Premier Properties will consider replacing the kitchen appliances in the big house. We found all of them to be challenging.
