LOVE

This is the best house! We felt so comfortable and would highly recommend it. The location is awesome and we felt safe. It’s nice that it’s a little outside Taos but not too far away. It tookabout 10 minutes drive to get to Taos.The house has all the amenities needed! The patios are incredible. There is a big patio on each side of the house with dining table, chairs, umbrellas, and lounge chairs. One has a hot tub and the other has a grill. We ate breakfast on one side and dinner on the other according to where the sun was. The views there are beautiful. The kitchen has all dishes and cookware needed with a traditional coffee maker as well as a K cup maker. The beds were very comfortable. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location and Beautiful house

This house is as advertised. Spacious, beautiful with multiple outside seating areas and conveniently located to Taos. Just far enough to be out of the hubbub but close enough to easily go there for groceries and fun. We had our entire family there and had plenty of room and had a hard time leaving the house it was so lovely.

Beautiful Adobe Home

Loved the house. Amazingly clean and so comfortable. Loved the master bedroom. Was surprised that the bath was farther away than I would have expected, but was okay after I acclimated to not having a bathroom not connected to our room. Kitchen was great even though it was hard to tell how well supplied it was with cooking stuff from the description. Really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful home. Peaceful. Amazing sunset views. Beautiful decor. Spacious! Kitchen is well stocked with beautiful dishes. We cooked everyday and kitchen had everything we needed. Kiva fireplace outside is wonderful and the hot tub was perfect after a day on the slopes. We plan to book again for next year’s ski trip with our family!

Cozy For Winter

I took my mother, aunt and daughter on a Thanksgiving trip to Taos. We summer here, and it was enjoyabl to see the area with snow. Though the house was well appointed and comforatble, the shower doors in the hall bath were broken and we all had to use one shower in the master. Note that the red room and casita do not have a bathroom and it's a longer walk to get to one. The kitchen had everything we needed for all meals. The home is easy to get to and doesn't require a 4x4 or chains in the snow. It's are minutes from Arroyo Seco for groceries and restaurants (Aceq always being a crowd pleaser). The home did not offer access to the garage, which is different than most homes in the area. We prefer to garage park our cars, especially in bad weather. The home also lacked a snow shovel, so we had to get creative when we received 15 inches overnight. The hot tub was warm and inviting, but the kiva was not available for use. We would stay in this home again, but not with senior family as the trips to the bathroom were too far.

Tighten up the details

This is our second time staying here and hopefully that shows that it is a lovely enough property to stay at again. that being said, it seems like a few of the small details and amenities are a little less than desired: There was some soot and the water seemed a little low in the hot tub, the garbage disposal was kinda stinky, the kitchen towels were old and need replacing, there was dish soap in one of the soap dispensers in the primary bedroom bathroom, the standing fan in the primary bedroom rattled something awful and was unusable. Things like that aren't deal breakers but for the higher price, it would be nice if the upkeep of the house was a priority so guests feel like they're fully getting their money's worth

This is a lovely place to stay, but....

Ms. Olufsen's home is excellent. Vacasa's service is not.

Amazing house!

We loved this house so much! We used the hot tub and grill every night. One thing we loved was that the house is outside of Taos without a city feel but close enough to get there easily within 10 minutes. The outdoor areas are beautiful and we spent a lot of time out there. There are 2 large patios! One has lounge chairs, a table with chairs and umbrella, and hot tub. The other is accessed through a large bedroom and has lounge chairs, another table and chairs with umbrella, and a nice grill. We ate breakfast on one patio and dinner on the other according to where the sun was. Everything was nice and clean and the amenities were perfect. The kitchen had all plates and utensils needed. We love this house and would highly recommend!

AWESOME house, huge property management company is bad

The house is as amazing as the pictures look - beautiful adobe house with great views and cozy interiors. Kitchen was great and we loved the hot tub at night. Great spot to stay at. However, when we opened the key lock box for the Casita, there was no key in there. No big deal, we reached out to the property management company. We kept getting a “we’ll get back to you” for the entire week we stayed there. I reached out every day or 2 for the whole week and we were never assisted or given the Casita key, so we never got access to the whole Casita. What’s more, a customer service agent said they’d give us a modest refund since we never got access to the room. A week later, after we left, they changed their mind and said they can’t give us any refund. Not getting access to the Casita was a bummer, and it was frustrating to be speaking to a different help agent, none local, each time we reached out. Would’ve been fine to just give us a small refund, as they said they would, but then they would’ve even do that. So all in all, it’s a great spot, but don’t expect any support whatsoever from a large corporation that only cares about extracting profit.

Few Complaints

The home was beautiful and spacious. However the hot tub was slimy and the temperature never got past 95 degrees. Also the jets in the tub of the bathroom did not work. Other than that it was really nice.

Gorgeous Home

The pictures of this house do not do it justice. It’s warm, well decorated, spacious. Perfect for a family with older kids. Everyone had their space. Our dog loved sniffing all around the property. The best is the radiant floor heat. It made the house feel so cozy during the winter. We will definitely stay again!

Poor communication but great home

This was was beautiful and comfortable. Bad start though because we weren't told about pushing the padlock in and out after putting in the code so we sat outside the gate for over 2 hours trying to get assistance from VRBO and Vacassa! Upon arrival, we had a completely full garbage container outside and it never was emptied on trash day so we had to take 2 bags of trash with us when we left. Hot tub was one of the main reasons we chose this house, but there were no chemicals and no maintenance ever done in the 6 days we stayed so water level became very low and water had unpleasant odor the last 2 days. The local rep "Josh" promised he would get back to us prior to Monday with a proposal for compensation for our 2 hour inconvenience at the gate on the first day. Here we are leaving Wednesday and have still never heard from him. Not the best vacation stay! Vacassa!

A most beautiful home away from home

Casa Olufson is undoubtably the most beautiful, tasteful, comfortable VRBO we’ve ever experienced. The host anticipated all of our needs, so cooking meals at home was a dream. The decor reflected the Southwest - and there was always something beautiful to notice over the time we spent there. We would highly recommend this spot to fellow travellers!!

Exceptional!

Other than problems with gaining access to the home, due to faulty lock box, our stay was a wonderful experience. This was solved promptly by management. Everything about this home was exceptional: the furnishings, artwork, textiles, kitchen, cleanliness of hot tub, etc were by far superior to any rental we have experienced. It was comfortable, relaxing, and has amazing views!

Review This is an absolutely beautiful home! It’s decorated beautifully with every possible amenity from home you can imagine. Kitchen stocked with every appliance and utensil needed. Living room very comfortable with plenty of seating. The best part about our stay were the two patio areas. One had a grill and one with a fireplace/kiva. We looked so forward to the sunset on the patio each night. Beds were super comfortable. Bathrooms very nice. Only thing to note, be aware no AC in the home. We got a bit hot, but for the most part the evenings cooled off enough to make it comfortable with windows open. Also, the larger master has no bathroom and must walk through the kitchen, dining and living room to get to a hallway bathroom that shares with the guest room. The second master has an on suite. All in all we very much enjoyed our stay.
