Clean and well equipped. Bedroom was a little small and tight but main living area was large uncomfortable. Great location for the slopes.

It was wonderful to see your family enjoying our home in Taos. The Alcove is smaller but cozy. I'm sure all bedrooms we're good size. Spacious home and large Family room is the highlight of the house. Perfect for groups or Family gatherings. The location is unique perfect! Thanks do the review.
Rosa was an incredible host. She was always looking out for us, and giving us the most out of our stay. It also happened to be my favorite mountain for how intimate and easy to navigate it was. I have been all over the U.S. so that is saying something. Rosa also went out of her way to help one of our members of the group who got stuck traveling out by giving them a ride to the nearest hotel. Also, Luna the dog was such a blessing. Thank you for allowing us to stay, Rosa!

Thanks for all your kind words. It was great to meet you and your friends! We love to meet all expectations and be sure all groups have a wonderful vacation at our home in Taos!
This was one of the best houses we’ve ever rented. The host was gracious and accommodating. Helped us with everything. Clear suggestions, guidance and just overall kindness. The hosue was also stacked with everything. Coffee, spices and condiments for cooking. Every kitchen equipment, utensils, dishes etc was there. Place was clean, and accommodating. Real ski-in/ski-out. And the cherry on top - jacuzzi right out of the master bathroom. 10 out of 10! We slept there 9 guys, which worked out well. Highly recommend. Thank you Rosa! Best host ever.

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted you enjoy your stay at our home. You have a fantastic group of friends! It was so nice to meet you all!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home, ideally situated for an amazing ski vacation. Rosa was a gracious and welcoming host, making our Christmas celebration truly memorable. The house offered fantastic amenities, including a sauna and hot tub, which were perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. Additionally, Rosa provided so many amenities for our kids that were above and beyond any other rental I have stayed in, which made our travel plans much easier since we were flying. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
We just wrapped up our annual ski trip with a group of six, and this home was perfect for us. The house is incredibly spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and gather comfortably. It never felt crowded, and the common areas were ideal for hanging out after long days on the mountain.The kitchen was a huge highlight. It was exceptionally well stocked with cookware, utensils, and everything we needed to prepare full group meals. We cooked everyday, and it made the experience easy and enjoyable.There is a short walk to and from the ski run, which we found very manageable and well worth it for the location and setting. It added to the mountain experience without being inconvenient.The hosts stayed in the same house during our visit and were wonderful. They were welcoming, respectful of our space, and available if needed, while still giving us complete privacy.Overall, we would return and highly recommend it to any group looking for a comfortable, well-equipped ski getaway.

Rosa and Fernando's home was perfect for our ski group. The house exceeded our expectations and access to the slopes was convenient. Rosa and Fernando were very flexible with our check in and check out times and took an interest in helping us make the most of our stay. Would highly recommend their home to other groups.
The house was awesome. Great for cooking and spending time together in front of the fire.

We rented the home for spring break and let me just say…the pictures do this home very little justice! The home is spectacular with plenty of room, spacious gathering areas! The location of the home makes the views picturesque…you won’t wanna leave!
The homeowners went above and beyond to make sure that we were accommodated. You won’t find a better vacationing spot!!

I just finished a four-night stay at this home with a group of friends on a ski trip. The house is fantastic, spacious, and has a very thoughtful layout. To our surprise, the home is even nicer than the photos make it look. For those going here to ski, it is super close and accessible to the slope. Also, the hosts are SUPER as they are great communicators and made sure we had everything we needed. We have been doing this annual trip for the last 15 years and this was the best rental experience we have had to date.

We took five of our adult kids for a five day ski stay. Rosa did a wonderful job of making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The house was amazing! Rosa left the Xmas decorations up for us to enjoy, the kitchen is super well supplied, plenty for eight people. Heated floor in the family area, huge fireplace made for super fun evenings! Ski in ski out to a run above Lift 1. Sauna in the master bath after skiing was terrific. Super fun!

We stayed at Dreamcatcher Chalet for a week during Spring Break mid-March. NM had just received two weeks of snow so the skiing was awesome and somehow there were no lift lines! The homeowners were on-site in the attached apartment so they were able to greet us upon arrival and were attentive to any/every need or question. They were MORE than gracious hosts and we'd happily return to this location again. There was ample room for all 10 of us and access to the slopes was easy enough. Driving to the house after heavy snows--we did need 4wd but really the roads were clear, just a little skidding at the driveway turn in and over night as the the roads iced back up. The house is as described but better than the pictures.

Absolute perfection
A group of our friends (young adults late 20's/early 30's) stayed here for our annual ski trip in Jan 2016-it
was by far the best place we've ever stayed. Place has everything you could want-clean, plenty of space, hot tub, fireplace with plenty of wood, great kitchen and living areas for family meals. The owner Rosa was pleasant to deal with and a clear communicator which was helpful in planning a trip for 12 or so people. Location was ideal and is a true ski in/ski out-was a little more expensive than other options in Taos but WELL WELL worth the money. We became a little spoiled after staying here as now we are always on the quest for something as nice...and honestly I don't think many exist when it comes to ski lodging. House is even more impressive in person than the pictures. Lots of windows so you can enjoy the fact that you are literally staying on the side of the mountain. Couldn't recommend more.
This is a wonderful house for skiers.
Hosts, Rosa and Fernando, are extremely gracious.
View is beautiful.
House is clean and spacious.
Kitchen is great for cooking big meals with “industrial strength” appliances (double refrigerators and large six top range).
The owners warned us ahead of time about two roof leaks caused by recent high winds. The damaged drywall had been sealed under plastic sheeting until contractors could make the final repairs.
Skiers access the slopes by a short walk down the road.
The house is located on a secondary road which is not the first to be plowed after a big snow storm.
Big snow storms are challenging for less experienced skiers and children being driven to ski school.
After a very heavy snow (in spite of Fernando clearing the driveway and Rosa calling the mayor to get plows in as quickly as possible) we were unable to drive our 8 year old to ski school. Fortunately, ski school folks kindly moved her lesson to another day. So, we enjoyed a day of books and puzzles.
We thank Rosa and Fernando for sharing their beautiful views!
Skiers will love this location!

Dear Donna, thank you so much for this great review. We love our home and it was our privilege to share our Dreamcatcher Chalet with you. We had an unusual 12 days of snow in March which is awesome for skiing but a challenge for efficient cleaning of the roads. The Village is working on making improvements for these chalking days, but for skiers it was great to be able to ski off right from our garage! Taos has the best ski school and I’m so glad they accommodate changing the lesson day. We’d love to see you all back soon!
Beautiful home in scenic location, welcoming hosts
We stayed here with family (our children and two grandparents) in July 2022, and it was an incredible experience. Details below. We would definitely come back.
The house was clean we arrived, in wonderful condition with new appliances. Everything is beautifully decorated with care, and we appreciated the attention to details that made our stay comfortable. All we needed was onsite (plenty of fresh towels, soap for dishwasher and washing machine, all kitchen supplies needed for cooking, dinnerware, etc.). The outdoor hot tub seemed brand new and was amazing (nicest one we have seen - we have stayed in homes with hot tubs before), and maintenance staff automatically came for routine hot tub maintenance, checked chemical levels, etc. The garage has room for two cars, with room for another in the driveway, and it was all very easy to use.
The location is incredible. We were able to walk to the National Forest trails from the house, or it was a very short drive (less than 5 minutes) up to the Williams Lake Trail Head parking lot and Bavarian restaurant, or down to the Ski Valley Village (restaurants, shops, etc.). My family enjoyed several days of hiking in the mountains, a day of rafting in Taos, and a couple of days going to outdoor restaurants in Taos. It was easy to order groceries from Smith's and pick up curbside. The house has a large new fridge that held everything we needed for a week.
The host, Rosa, is wonderful and made us comfortable from before we arrived until our departure. She answered all of our questions, went out of her way to make sure we were able to enjoy the stay (made sure we could access folding chairs for the patio, answered questions when we arrived), and it felt like we were staying with family.
We loved relaxing in a home that has been taken care of with love and attention by both the hosts and previous guests. It made our vacation happy. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Rosa was beyond hospitable, readily available & her beautiful servants heart as a retired nurse shows. We arrived much earlier than anticipated & Fernando was skiing & unable to greet us but gave us the code. The home is stunning. Truly. The views and fireplace beckon the soul. Fernando and Rosa stay in the garage attached apartment while you are there. The first night Fernando came in looking for Cinnamon. (no problem but we didnt realize they were staying so close) It appears they live in the home most of the time with their dogs. That said, there was hair everywhere. In the kitchen drawers. Bathroom drawers. Ice trays. Sheets. Everywhere. I really hate to say it but feel I must. There was also multiple existing water leaks on sight w/ visible mold & mildew. The driveway to this home is a hard left turn, up hill. It's tough on a good day. At one point, Rosa & Fernando's dog came running out and we stopped as we were turning in the drive, as to not hit the dog - to find out we had lost all traction and slid all the way down the way back down the hill. We were there when Winter Squall Olive hit & an avalanche close to the home. It was intense. We missed flights & ended up checking out by 2 PM once the tractors were able to dig out our road. hot tub lid blew off & as Rosa sent a picture of it letting us know she was filing a claim on that a missing fireplace poker one of the boys used in the snow. Slopes are 75 yards - A hike unclipp required. Both ways. There is some work to

Dear Kassi, thanks for your kind words towards me. After 10 years of renting our house, it is disappointing to receive our first negative review. I'm really sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, and we are taking steps to make improvements based on you feddback. As you mentioned, we went through a severe winter blizzard in Taos, causing disruptions to the whole village. We continue to strive to be the best hosts and do better in the future.
We rented the chalet for a family ski trip and it was perfect for 4 adults and 4 children. The skiers loved the easy access to the slopes and the home was perfect for cooking family dinners and playing games. Very comfortable and plenty of room for 2 families. The host was incredibly attentive and communicative. This is a very special home and we would definitely come back here! Highly recommend.

Great place for a small or large group. Ski access was fantastic.
Fantastic property. Super attentive owners were extraordinarily helpful. Any small issues that came up were addressed immediately, most notably 36” of snow fell shortly after we arrived and the owners personally plowed the driveway so we could make it down to the ski basin.

About the host
Hosted by Rosa
We are a family who loves Taos.
Why they chose this property
Taos has been our family vacation place for more than 25 years. It is a great place for winter and summer vacations. We love the place so much, that we decided to build the house and have our own place in this magic mountain. Taos Ski Valley is one the best kept secrets in the US. In the winter, the skiing is fantastic; there are no lift lines, expert skiers can enjoy a variety of terrain including bowls and top of the mountain terrain. Intermediate and novice skiers have great blue and green runs and one of the best ski schools in the country. In the summer, we have hiking trails, mountain biking, fishing, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, horseback riding; all within short distances from the house.
