This cabin is hidden away and perfect for a secluded getaway. Not being from the area we had to get used to the minerals in the water, but otherwise its close to Taos and lots of things to do. We had three generations there and everyone was satisfied.
This little place is definitely off the beaten path, which is what we were looking for. We enjoyed cooking fish we caught and grilling steaks over a campfire. The kitchen is well-appointed and living area is comfortable. The beds and bathrooms are a bit more rustic than where we usually stay, but it was still comfortable. And Brooke was very responsive.
We enjoyed our stay at this cute cabin! We were in town from out of state to ski at Sipapu and couldnt have asked for a better place! Would definitely stay again.
House was great, location was even better. 10 minutes from town but extremely remote. Everything you could need for a relaxing get away in the mountains
We came to ski Sipapu and it was a perfect cabin with lots of natural light. We enjoyed the stay! Everything was so cute and easy to use! Make sure you take down entry code and internet password before you get there, as there is no cell service at the cabin!
We had a wonderful stay at this home just outside of Taos! The location was perfect—only about 12 minutes from town, making it easy to explore restaurants, shops, and local attractions. It also provided great access to Taos Ski Valley, Sipapu, and Angel Fire, which was a huge plus for our trip.The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The setting was peaceful and scenic, giving us a true getaway feel while still being close to all the action. The host was responsive and made the whole experience seamless.Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great stay near Taos!
Our cabin boasted scenic views with large windows. Our internet connection was surprisingly strong despite our remote location. Beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed close proximity to Walmart, and equal distance from Sipapu ski resort and Taos ski valley. The cabin was perfect for our family. Age range of kids 3 to 15. We would love to stay there again!
Stayed at the house back in 2022. Was back again in 2024. Had a great stay. Will stay again next time I’m back in Taos. Did I leave a blue and white bandana in the dryer?
Just what I was looking for. Secluded home at the end of the road. With beautiful Mountain views. Very peaceful and tranquil. No king size beds, but sleeps five adults comfortably. If you’re looking for peace and quiet and beautiful views, this is where to stay. I will definitely be back.
Had a really fun time at this rental the property and house was beautiful and the owner was very communicative and helpful when my friend lost his wallet she did a great job at putting our mind at ease while the search was on. All and all a great stay. ^_^
We had an amazing week at the cabin for our family ski trip. It's perfectly located between Taos and Sipapu Ski Lodge. The owner is extremely helpful and replied right away to any questions we had. I would not hesitate to stay here again, and I hope the cabin is available the next time we are planning a trip!
Lovely place for a visit to Taos and Carson National Forest
This cabin was perfect for our visit to the area. It's close enough to town for eating and activities but far away enough to feel like you are in nature. The place is very clean and well stocked. Having the bedrooms on 3 floors allowed for privacy and space from each other. Recommend this place!
This home was perfect for our family of 4 (older kids), we were able to have the best of both worlds: easily explore Taos and ski at Sipapu. We like to cook our own meals and appreciated the well equipped kitchen. Thanks, we hope to be back next ski season!
Enjoyed everything about the property and accommodations. Only one complaint... there is a sulfur smell in the water. It probably needs checked out to make sure there is not a serious problem affecting water safety.
Our host communicated very well. We enjoyed the big glass windows and woodwork in the cabin. The porches would be great to sit on during spring, summer or fall! It is very conveniently located between Sipapu ski resort and Taos. Thanks again for our stay.
Ford Family
Our first trip as a family to the snowy mountains. And Brooks Cottage could not have fit our needs more perfectly. Keeping an essential stock of pantry items, Plenty of space, a fireplace with firewood provided, comfortable beds, with updated power and water, just a great stay. We loved being surrounded by woods, blankets of snow, and privacy. Only about a 10 minute drive to Taos, and a 20 minute drive to Sipapu. We would happily stay here again.
We had a fantastic time here!! We highly recommend, and cannot wait to come back. We came to NM to ski and to hike. The cabin is beautifully decorated,cozy,and, has a great view of the mountains.It is somewhat secluded ( which we loved) plenty of room to explore right outside the backyard. The host does a wonderful job of making sure the home is stocked with pots/ pans/ towels/ soaps/ linens , etc. I also had a very quick response from them when I had questions.We will be booking again soon :-)
