Very Relaxing at the Scrabble house

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Terra was very helpful with questions I had when we arrived and she was there to greet us. The house was lovely and the setting very peaceful and relaxing. The house had plenty of extras in the kitchen and extra throw blankets, lots of games and books and info on local sights. We liked that the house was "out" from town but just a 5 minute drive. Any of our group of 9 would stay there again!

Perfect ski weekend vacation home!

We cannot say enough great things about our stay at the Scrabble House! We had two sets of families with young kiddos and our grandparents. The space was the perfect layout and had everything we needed and more! The drive into town and the ski resort was easy to navigate. The property host was also so helpful and helped us all weekend. We highly recommend the Scrabble House!

Great Memorial Day stay

My friends and I had a great time at Scrabble House over Memorial Day weekend. Comfortable rooms, plenty of room to stretch out, huge kitchen for cooking, and the outdoor space is amazing. Awesome views. The property manager was great to work with. This is a great vacation home for a large family or a few couples, as each bedroom in the main house has its own bathroom.

Enjoyable Family Time

Our family of 8 had an enjoyable time at the Scrabble House. The property manager was very helpful and responsive. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and a bathroom for each bedroom. The fenced yard worked out well with the dogs that were along. Nice location!

Perfect location for our family to stay while attending our grandson’s wedding.

There were seven of us in our party . My husband and I our daughter and granddaughter, son and his wife and my brother-in-law. Plenty of room for all of us and enough spaces to find some privy time. We had time to go to the Rio Grande Bridge , the Farmers Market and explore the town.

Repeat Customer at Scrabble House

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: My family and I have held our annual reunion at Scrabble House for several years. Gary at Premiere makes the rental process easy. Terra had the place in excellent shape on our arrival. We were pleased seeing so many upgrades this year. New dishwasher, new flooring in one of the bedrooms, fresh paint in several areas, a new dishwasher, new pots and pats. These all added to the joy of our stay. Needing attention are the windows in the casita. The opening/closing mechanisms on all the windows have been broken for many years. As there is no A/C, the broken window cranks make it difficult to regulate the temperature in the casita on warmer days.

Great house for 5 couples

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: The main house is very roomy and beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cooking supplies, and there are also suffucuent toilet paper rolls and paper towels. The care taker is very responsive and helpful.Two things warrant special mention. The windows in the Casita, as noted by other prior guests, should be repaired. Opening or closing them is a 2 person job, one inside and one outside. Beyond incomvenient.The kitchen counters are covered with copper metal sheeting. Very pretty, but almost anything leaves marks; especially acidic things like tomato sauce or lemon juice. Be advised to use cutting boards liberaly to minimize exposure of the surface to things while cooking.

Disappointed

Property was in need of a serious pest control visit, spiders, termites, ants and a few scorpions were encountered daily. Main House- several maintainance issues including plumbing, fans, ice maker, baseboard heating units. Furniture was old and in some cases needed replacing. Guest House- several maintenance issues including plumbing and windows. In general both house needed a deep clean, floors, furniture and bedding.

Fabulous place for a large group

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We selected this property for a reunion with 5 couples. Each of us has reached the point where King beds are really a necessity, not just a preference. This property has 5 bedrooms and 5 king beds. Two bedrooms share a bath in the guest cottage. There are three bedrooms with en suite baths and another full bathroom in the hallway. Although not fancy, the accommodations are very nice, comfortable and southwestern in style. I love the copper counter in the kitchen and the large dining table. We lacked nothing! There are plenty of supplies in the cabinets, whether spices or hot chocolate. It felt like home within an hour of unpacking. Located outside of Taos, about halfway to the ski area, it was quiet and offered unlimited star gazing. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else, if I was traveling to this area, with a group again.

We regret renting this place

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a lousy place to rent. It wasn't kept up at all. They advertised a pool which was incredibly small. It was broken also so we couldn't use it. The guest house had both living and dead rodents in it. When we called to ask for help with it, we got no response. The bath mats were disgusting. They were old and some had dried toothpaste on them. I would certainly not recommend renting this place at all.

Dear Stacy, Thank you for taking the time to send us your review regarding your experience at Scrabble House. We are very sorry that you had such a disappointing stay at Scrabble House and truly regret that our office was not contacted during your visit. Our records show that George the Caretaker for Scrabble House (for at least 6 years now) was attending a Boy Scouts of America Wilderness Trip with his teenage son. His wife was left in charge during his absence and possibly in their preparation to travel neglected to leave the change of phone # to his wife. George would not have had cell service out in the wilderness. Given this, it may be the reason you did not hear back. We have no record of hearing from you that there were any problems. Had we been called to task, Taos Prime Pest Control would have been there within minutes. There is no excuse for soil of any kind on any bath mat as Housekeepers are instructed to launder every linen and towel whether it looks used or not. As for the pool, the photo is labeled as it being an "Endless Pool". Endless pools are miniature pools that have a swift pump creating a strong current that guests swim against as a means to work out, swim and stay fit. They are almost never large pools as they are used as a means of staying fit by swimming into the current. Your review will be forwarded to the Homeowner and the Caretaker and we sincerely thank you for the "heads up". We will be talking with George to see if any light can be shed to help us better understand your report and we will get back to you regarding the pool that was not working. Most Sincerely, Paulette S. Jacobs, Co-owner/Founder Premiere Properties Vacation Rentals & Property Management, LLC
