Reviewer Comments:
Since this was our very first vacation rental experience and our first visit to the Taos/Arroyo Seco area, we had limited expectations. We found the property very spacious and comfortable and generally clean (other than the cobwebs floating freely from the high ceilings). It would have been helpful for the light switches to be labeled - we had difficulty figuring them out, and many seemed to have no purpose. Our apologies if our experimentation left lights on in weird places. It would also have been helpful to have a binder in the kitchen with the operating instructions for the coffee makers and other appliances, rather than relying on our "best guess" button-pushing.We loved relaxing on the back patio, enjoying the cool breezes and watching the prairie dogs play, the perfect place to hunker down with a good book. We enjoyed trips to the Taos Farmers Market & Art Museum, and had tasty meals at Orlando's and Taos Mesa Brewing Company. However, as in many small towns, parking is less than adequate and the sidewalks roll up early - no lingering late over dinner with friends.Overall, we had a good first experience, and may well return in the future, with better knowledge of what to expect (like the surprising number of unpaved narrow gravel roads, some of which were more than a little scary to navigate in a rental car). We enjoyed the adventure and would definitely recommend the property/area to friends. Thanks for the hospitality!
