Very well stocked house. Host was very responsive when communicating. Technology such as televisions could use some updating but overall very satisfied. Would stay here again if in the area.

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay. The location is perfect for hiking on nearby trails or just relaxing in the peace and quiet. We felt very welcome with flowers and wine on arrival and the overall warmth of the house.

Could not be more pleased with the beautiful home and the gracioushost Stella Luna truly has everything you need for a relaxing, quiet vacation. And Taos is just a few miles away if you want a bit more excitement. You will love it!

Stella Luna is a lovely casita and located in a perfect spot in between Taos and the Ski Valley. I was there for the month of February and could not have been happier or more pleased with the property. The casita is beautifully decorated and has everything one could need, including a kitchen with every think one can imagine. It is well designed for two couples or two friends as the layout separates the bedroom spaces from the central living area. Sanjay is very responsive if there are questions or issues. It was just a delight to stay there.

Lovely warm home located perfectly between Taos and TSV. The house is very cozy and well stocked with lots of goodies left for us like fruit, fresh bread, eggs, coffee, etc. Everything is of high quality.

The place was excellent. Great location for skiing and getting into Taos. Kitchen was well equipped and everything in the house was so well done. We totally would stay again!

10/10

Lovely and peaceful with amazing views of the surrounding mountains. Close enough to town to explore all the wonderful shops, galleries and dining (if you don't feel like cooking), but remote enough for a restful retreat. I enjoyed being able to explore the surrounding areas and have a 'base camp' to return to for a nice hot tub under the stars. Super friendly and responsive host. I highly recommend.

Stayed at Stella Luna for a week with my spouse and another couple. The house was gorgeous and comfortable. Sanjay & Bettina were gracious and helpful. The neighborhood is quiet and rural, but very close to Taos. We can't wait to go back!

A great place for two couples. Would also be fine for a family. There was a bowl of fruit, a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine, a bouquet of flowers, with a local salsa and eggs in the fridge. We were amazed! Convenient location and easy to get to Taos. We highly recommend this house.

Quiet and located near trailheads, Arroyo Seco, and Taos. When my husband called to ask for the shade sails to be adjusted so that the anchor points wouldn't bang against the house, they had it fixed in 24 hours. Betttina met us and supplied local food supplies and wine to help us settle in. All around great property and management team.

What a wonderful place to get away from it all. Stella Luna is a beautiful, well appointed home in a peaceful and serene location. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and the lovely flowers, swarms of hummingbirds, star filled skies and frogs croaking us to sleep were the cherry on top. Check in and check out we’re fast and easy. Appreciated the fresh fruit, and delicious blue corn tortilla chips and salsa to snack on. We not only felt like guest, but like we were wanted there. I would love to stay at Stella Luna again the next time we are in the Taos area. Thanks for a fabulous long weekend.

Sanjay and Marah were most gracious and welcoming to Stella Luna. Their home was impeccable, with wonderful views of the mountains, and a lovely country ambiance. They were most helpful with information about local activities, hunting, restaurants, and shopping. We look forward to returning to Taos and the Poovadans.

A great house and Sanjay is a great host as well. The house is a joy, beautifully decorated, serene, and well stocked with all the essentials, including expresso machine, books, DVDs, games, and a welcome basket with wine as well. Beautiful area as the foot of the sacred mountain with fabulous views -- but just a short drive into Taos or up to the ski basin as well. Highly recommended.

10/10

I don't think we ever have stayed at a better-equipped rental. We could have stayed for a month and never wanted for anything. The house gave us lots of space to relax, read and just plain chill. The kitchen was well-equipped. Bettina met us and showed us all we needed. The locale was peaceful. The only sounds in the morning were red-winged blackbirds, and at night the sound of crickets. It was a delight.

An unforgetably wonderful experience is the only way to describe my stay at Stella Luna. I spent a week there with 5 knitting friends. We all wish our stay could have been much longer. Sanjay and Marah provided for our every need and then some including 6 separate sleeping spaces. Stella Luna is beautiful inside and out. How luxurious to start the morning around the fireplace, have brunch on the patio looking out at the snow covered mountains, and relax in the hottub under the stars! There is so much to do and see in Taos but we found ourselves wanting to just hang out at Stella Luna.

10/10

We love the kiva fireplace and plentiful firewood, the backyard hot tub with the clear view of the stars, the mule deer that graze through the area in the early evening. Great location between the town of Taos and the ski valley. It's so amazing how quiet and still the setting is. Fresh fruit and bread in the kitchen on our arrival; the heated tile floor, breakfast at the kitchen table by the front window. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy the home!

We enjoyed our stay at Stella Luna and would definitely come back. It's a very peaceful, quiet setting. The views from the hot tub at night are just fantastic. The house is well stocked. Bettina made sure everything was ready including some fresh cut flowers on the dining table and fresh fruit. Great hosts.

We love this location to get to Taos Ski Valley. It was a beautiful property and had everything we needed to be comfortable. We appreciated the hospitality and stocked spices, etc.
