The most perfect spot. We enjoyed returning to this 2-acre paradise after first discovering it 7 years ago. The house and amenities couldn't be better. If in the Taos area, seriously consider this "best of both worlds" (rural yet so close to town) location.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at your precious, cozy, beautiful home. We only had two nights there and wish we had more. We felt so relaxed the whole time and loved sitting by the fires (both in and out) and in the hot tub. The gardens and grounds were gorgeous. We highly recommend this special gem!

Wonderful location close to downtown Taos, beautiful large property with comfortable, well supplied main house and hot tub. Only concern was the screens on windows and other areas around the house were covered with spider webs and dead insects. House was clean, but window screens need attention.

Nice peaceful area to hang out not too far from Taos plaza

It's a nice quiet location away from the road and generally a very peaceful place. It seems to be an adobe house so it stays a little cool. Decor is a little eclectic from birds and wasp nests to what appears to be local native art and Spanish colonial style art. The patio furniture seems to need a little TLC but otherwise was a relaxing and peaceful stay.

Amazing home

The house was so unique. The art and decorations were amazing. Loved how the kitchen was arranged. Thanks for having great book choices. The yard art was lovely. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the wind whispering through the trees and the lovely wind chimes. The tree house was so interesting. Was one of the best homes we have vacationed in.

A nice friend reunion

We enjoyed our stay very much. We made fun tasty meals, chatted, made a cozy fire in the kiva fireplace and explored the property. Melissa was very responsive to any question or concern we had. We would stay here again- maybe find a way to use the entire property.

Perfect hideaway

I loved the look and feel of the home. Great setting for family gatherings or group of friends. Very clean, nicely decorated, and quaint. I left some shoes behind but Melissa is kind enough to send them back to me in the mail. I’ll be back!

Would Stay Again

Would stay again next time we are in town. The communication with Melissa was excellent, and we were able to find everything with ease. The location was perfect in regards to its rural feel, but it was only a 5 minute drive from downtown. The property is beautiful, and there was lots of space to explore and walk around.
