This place was nice enough, but very cluttered for my taste. Every nook and cranny was filled with stuff. The Kiva was wonderful. The views were great and you could enjoy a truly star-filled sky. It felt like a rental, with minimal attention to the details that make a place 5 stars.

We had a lovely time. It was our second time staying here. The first week we showed my nephew what we love about Taos, the next 3 weeks we worked remotely. The house is perfectly situated for views and wildlife (birds, hawks, an owl, a coyote were all seen). Highly recommend.

Everything was as described or better. The home is beautifully appointed, and the owner has provided an abundance of thoughtful touches.

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: This house is so cozy and comfy. We loved how homey it was. It's beautifully decorated and very well appointed. The location is also great. Close enough to Taos but definitely not in town. With the river. Early, we spent whole afternoons fly fishing and catching great fish.

6/10

The location was very nice, but very close to neighbors. The dogs came right to use once barking at my kids. The kitchen was really great. The only trouble was that 2 nights of our stay the roof leaked in multiple locations directly over the master bed. The last night we were unable to sleep in the bed because of it. The other thing was broken pottery and overgrown sage/plants in the walkway of the patio/courtyard. It would be nice to have that trimmed up and cleaned up for a family friendly property. The house though, it was beautifully arranged and supplied. Minus theses things, especially the roof leaks, it would have been wonderful.

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: This is absolutely our favorite home away from home. We’ve stayed here at least six times, we love it! This house is comfy, cozy and welcoming. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, bake and host friends. The beds and bedding are good quality and so comfortable. We love the fireplace and the cute living room for watching movies and hanging out. The outdoor spaces are a huge bonus. The patio is sweet and has gorgeous views. We recommend buying bird seed and filling up the feeders to enjoy mountain jays, songbirds, bunnies and other wildlife year round. In the summer, the house is cool. In the winter, the heated floors are so warm and cozy. With River access for fly fishing and the 360 views, you can really enjoy how beautiful Taos is.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful but when we arrived at 9pm we were to tired to really look around. The house floor were very dirty and when I told the management they actually told me I should have called the property maintenance to come clean it.. really so we would have had to leave the house for them to clean it when that soloist have been done prior to our arrival! Me, my 8month old, my 18 year old and my husband all suffered from horrible breathing g problems and allergies! It was horrible and we felt better out of the house than in it!

We were there a month. By and large, we loved the house and loved the area. Their were so many of the owners' personal and decorative items that we had to move some to make room for our own things and to protect theirs. We had a couple of issues: The biggest was a kitchen cabinet door. We found it broken with dry glue on the broken part that showed that it had been glued before. There was also a bottle of wood glue in the house. We called the property manager to let him know and someone picked up the door for repair quickly. They insinuated that we broke it despite the dried glue. I called several times to confirm that we were not to be blamed but never got confirmation and we were nervous that we would be blamed for other old damage to the house. That made us a little uncomfortable. Other than that, the property manager was very responsive and helpful.

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: This house is just as pictured! Clean, inviting, and the perfect size for my family of five. A peaceful getaway for sure! A few things to note:* This property is truly out of town as the description says. Expect 15 minutes to get to the Plaza area. (Fine by us as we wanted to be away from the town). * Another review mentioned this, but try to arrive during daylight. I can see how it would be very difficult to find the first time at night. Your phone GPS will NOT get you there so you need to have the printed directions with you!* The hidden river is about 1/2 mile away from the house - not as accessible as I had hoped for my kiddos.* The kitchen had everything you could need but the coffee pot is nearing the end of its life! * The instructions on the agreement mention taking trash to the dumpster that is "up the hill" upon checkout. We could not find a dumpster anywhere! We drove our trash with us to the next town before we found a dumpster. Overall, this is a lovely, well maintained property!

We did not have a good experience. Would not recommend this house, or location. Left early and found a better location to stay at. When we arrived at the house the wind was hollowing. There were significant wind gusts. Once we found the key for the house, location was not given to us, we unlocked the door. The wind was blowing so hard that I hung onto the door so it would not slam open. Before we even stepped into the house there was a crash. As we got in the door, we saw that a figurine had been blown over that was in the nitch in wall across from door. When it blew over it created another one to crash to floor. We had to locate a broom and dustpan and get the rug picked up, so our dogs did not get cut by anything. We immediately took all the other figurines out of the nitch and placed on table so no other ones would be broken. I reported this to the individual that answered the phone for caretaker contact. He made the comment that it had been very windy. Our issue with this is we are being charged for something that broke and was completely out of our control. Noone was doing anything crazy; we had not even stepped foot in the house yet. As we started to settle in and look around the house, we noticed that the outside areas were nothing like pictured on the VRBO site. In the pictures on VRBO it shows a nice sitting area labeled side yard. The vegetation is so overgrown that we were not able to access this area. The side yard looks nothing at all like the pictures posted due to the overgrown vegetation. In the pictures on VRBO it also shows a nice patio area for sitting at a table, with cushions. Again, the vegetation is so overgrown that we had to maneuver the chairs around have any room. we also looked around for cushions for the chairs and were unable to find any. It was a tight fit down the path to gathering location due to the vegetation as well. The pictures for outdoor space are very misleading. My husband and I attempted showers and discovered we had no hot water. The hot water heater did not appear to be working. I did notify the number for caretaker and the gentleman did offer to come over and take a look. We were tired and ready to settle in. I told him we would touch base the next morning.

We enjoyed at our stay at this home, and especially liked watching the birds and other wildlife that wandered into the little backyard. A covey of quail came through at one point!

If you like privacy, and fantastic views & sunsets, then this is a property for you. We were here 6 nights, and our favorite part was the back patio, and enjoying the mountain views. The back yard ramada was very interesting, & creative. When we arrived, the house had not been cleaned properly, and I communicated with the local caretaker that evening. She returned my call the next morning, and she understood our disappointment. Floors were dirty, counter tops needed wiping, and the top of fridge very dusty. She took care of everything while we were out sightseeing. She apologized, and we felt satisfied. The house does need a good deep cleaning, but bed linens were clean, bathroom was clean too. The mattress in the master was comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook. We walked to the "hidden river" several times, very pretty setting. There is another ramada there overlooking the river, bring a picnic lunch, so peaceful. Suggestions for the owner - some plastic wine glasses for outside use. New pillows, all of the bed pillows were pretty wimpy, and thin. Also, the kitchen patio screen door is awful to open and close, it's a struggle every time.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our latest time staying at Hidden River. We love it, the house is decorated very nicely, the kitchen is well-appointed so you can actually cook and the whole place is so comfy. Beds are cozy, with good mattresses and linens. The bath is nice. The outdoor spaces are well done, places to sit and enjoy the 360 views as well as birds, bunnies and quail that come to feed at night. I think it was our 5th or 6th time staying here and we’ll be back in late winter. Perfect house for all seasons, as long as you have 4x4.

Our traveling came to a stop for 3 days here, where we just enjoyed the natural beauty of the area. Loved grilling in the outside dining space where we had a fire pit after and watched the moon rise. It was perfect.
