    The “Blue Adobe” cottage was a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. It was designed beautifully and modern. The floor heating kept the whole place warm. There were plenty blankets , pillows and even an air mattress which we did use when my little one had Altitude sickness. We had a 23 hour drive basically and our host was extremely accommodating to that. There were plenty dishes and serving ware for basic meal. There is only a small fridge so I recommend only getting 1 meals worth of ingredients at a time. They had basic spices, paper towels and dish washing materials. It was very hard to find places to eat in Taos that were open late at night or even past 3 pm. Most places cater to breakfast or brunch. There are places for take out at night and places to eat if u don’t wait til the last minute like us. They have a wonderful fenced in area behind the cottage for your dog. The front gate doesn’t stay close so be mindful if your dog runs off like our corgi likes to do. Luckily he doesn’t like the cold and gets scared easily and turned around. There isn’t access to a washer and dryer but we did notice some laundromats nearby. The cottage is close to markets and not far from Walmart. And there was also a great little welcome gift of wine an cheese from the hosts as well. They also had organic products from Trader Joe’s. I doubt we will ever go back to Taos to stay because the town is just not our cup of tea. The ski resort there is more for experienced skiing and snow boardin

    We had a great stay and enjoyed how close it was to the slopes! It was clean and comfortable. As a heads up it has a mini fridge which was fine, but if you are there for a week you may want to bring a cooler for a backup place to keep drinks.

    The bathroom is nice! Master bedroom is bigger than it needs to be, second bedroom is a bit small. It has litter space to work with with suitcase open. To be this close to a ski resort, more hooks badly needed for jackets, ski pants, ski jackets, gloves and related items. There is just not enough space to lay things around

    This is a great little weekend getaway spot. So close to Taos Ski valley, and most local attractions. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is your place. We had a great time (mins a broken leg - haha) and will be checking availability of this property the next time we are in the Taos area.

    The Blue Adobe was exactly as described and pictured. It was an easy drive to the Taos ski resort and a short drive into town. It was a bit tight for our family of five, but luckily the kids are small so with one on the floor it worked out quite nicely. I didn't realize from the photos that the fridge is a large version of a mini fridge (with a working freezer) and the kitchen is very very small. We pre-made all of our meals and had to keep them in our cooler, which luckily worked out fine. Groceries for multiple meals would not have fit. There's also no washer and dryer. And the table is only big enough for four (we brought a folding table to eat together). I didn't knock down the stars because nothing in the listing was inaccurate, I just didn't quite realize how small it was. We had a great time and appreciate the cleanliess, responsiveness of the host/manager, location, and accuracy of the listing.
