We really enjoyed the overall space of the accommodations. We enjoyed having a full cooking kitchen, location of the property to the resort as well within driving range and communication with the property owners was excellent.
We had a great time skiing at sipapu! The house was very clean, had so much room and anything we needed for our stay! The hosts were awesome and very fast to respond to any needs! They even alerted us that there had been some elk hanging out in the yard the morning we checked in so we could watch for them during our trip!

Thanks for staying with us. Hope to see you again.
As returning guests this was yet another memorable vacation. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and cared for. The house was
comfortable for a family of five and is located conveniently close to Sipapu ski resort (it saves us from having to cross over to Taos through the pass every day, which shaves about 15’ each way).

Thanks for staying with us and sharing your experience. It was a pleasure having you and your family again.
Very convenient to Sipapu Ski, gas station, Subway, pizza place. Home was clean, owners very friendly and very communicative. We had 4 adults, 1 teen and 4 mo baby. Everyone was comfortable. House is well stocked with necessities. We would definitely rent again!

Thanks for staying with us and we hope you do return. You might want to check out our other home, 3 miles away, in Chamisal. It’s called Mountain Cabin Retreat.
The house is located in a stunning part of N New Mexico. We brought a cousin from England and were able to take him to Bandelier, Taos Pueblo, and on a rafting trip and a Kayak trip on the Rion Grande. Seven of our family enjoyed the time there. We had separate alewpimg areas and lots of privacy. It was a great stay and the hosts were so responsive and kind.

Hope your cousin enjoyed his experiences and stay. It’s so different than England. Hope to see you again.
Overall good. With no air conditioning, it would have been nice to have screens on the windows to get the fresh air in at night. Great communication with owner. Beautiful sunset!

Thank for staying with us. Yes, window screens are need and will be installed soon.
I didn’t see pictures of the outside so I was kind of wondering but once I came inside it was exactly like the pictures online! It was very clean and the mountains around were beautiful! The ceiling woodwork was so beautiful. It was beyond than what I expected and to see the stars at night. We will truly be back.

Thanks for staying with us Jeanne, it was a joy having you.
We stayed here in order to ski at Sipapu. It’s only about 10 mins to Sipapu. We did go into Taos which was about 40 mins away.
The house was clean, stocked with staples and cleaning supplies. Very comfy and spacious form our small family of three.
I was cold and not able to warm up (the rest of the family was fine) and the owner was kind enough to provide me with a space heater. When he delivered the extra heater he also brought us some home made salsa that was delicious.
Pet friendly which was a huge plus for us as well. There was plenty of room in the master bedroom for our German Shepherd’s crate. There was also a really nice area in the master to sit and do makeup and hair for me.
Definitely recommend this place and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Why they chose this property
Bought this property as an investment property but after remodeling it have seriously considered moving into it.
What makes this property unique
Centrally located at the intersection of State Roads 75 and 76, voted the most scenic road in New Mexico. Sipapu Ski Resort is only 8 miles away, 23 miles to Taos, 43 miles to Espanola and 57 miles to Santa Fe. The dark, quiet nights, and the quaint mountain villages are a relaxing respite from the busy hustle bustle of the city. Fishing, hunting, hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, and skiing are all within a short drive. The house has a great open floor plan that allows for easy social interaction and sunrise views over Mt. Jicarita and sunset views from the back porch.
