Taos Ski Valley Mountain Retreat

Mindy was very helpful

For starters, property owner did not send directions to house or instructions on how to access the house. When I called her, she stated she had been too busy. With all due respect to the owner, I feel the property was not as listed. The listing stated their was a woodstove, but did not state that the woodstove was the only source of heat for the living room and kitchen. If we wanted heat in that part of the house we needed to get wood from the outdoor shed and manage burning and cleaning the stove. No woodstove, no heat. Additionally the shower walls are constructed of cedar, which was dirty and covered with soap. Very unsanitary. One bedroom had beer bottles on the floor next to the bed. Tub was full of dead flies, and shower valve did not function properly, and falling out of the wall. Obviously the house had not been cleaned before our arrival. The front porch is supported by blocks that are falling over, which was not clear from the exterior photo as there was a lot of snow covering the porch in the picture provided by the owner for the listing. Microwave does not work at all. Entire house has inadequate electrical outlets. There was an extension cord across the floor of one bedroom with an electric heater plugged in to it. A tripping hazard, not to mention the cord was hot which indicates it is overloaded. The house has a dirty, foul smell to it, which I believe is from the creosote from the woodstove. Screws missing from stove flue and laying on top of stove.

Dog hair all over the floor that caused us severe allergies. Large flies all over the windows even after killing them daily. Very small hard couch. Great location in the ski valley.

As pictured. Beautiful scenery and great location.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mindy’s cabin. The location is excellent, and the cabin is comfortable and well supplied. Mindy was a great help with our technical difficulties since my husband and I are technologically challenged. My husband enjoyed being within walking distance to a hiking trail, and I loved sitting by the beautiful stream. Since the cabin is in the forest, it was not surprising to have four legged creatures visiting inside. Overall the cabin and Mindy provided everything we needed for a very pleasant getaway.

We had a great stay for our snowboarding trip in March of 2025.Everything was great and the instructions were clear.

Such a great location, so close to the slopes. So nice to wake up to the light and the sound of the stream nearby. Spacious for me and my two teens and I loved how well stocked the kitchen was with gear! Blender, excellent cooking knives, etc. Heated floor in the bathroom was a treat, as was the nice big tv screen for watching movies. Rustic cozy!

Close to Ski resort and good for a family . Place was neat and had a good time with family

Came in at night so the turn into the property was hard to see and it is up the road a bit but once we found it everything was great.

I can't say enough good things about our stay. We loved this rustic cabin - it was clean when we arrived and the whole house with stocked with any amenities we could need throughout our stay. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the shower was hot. The STREAM was amazing - we had a bonfire next to the stream and it set our experience to the next level. The drive to any activities we did or the main town area was no more than 30 minutes and the views along the way made it seem shorter. We had an awesome time and would stay here again if we are ever in Taos!
