Arroyo Seco - Des Montes area- 1/2 mile to Village of Arroyo Seco, 10 miles to Taos Ski Valley, 7 miles to town of Taos

Alto Vallecito - a contemporary custom home on 1.4 acres with expansive unobstructed views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, including its' namesake Vallecito Mountain (12,643’). Conveniently located halfway between the town of Taos and world-famous Taos Ski Valley with a unique design interpretation of “Taos Architecture,” blending a pueblo-style flat roof with a pitched roof creating grand cathedral ceilings in the great room and master bedroom.

The floor plan is ideally suited for 2 couples (with bedrooms/baths on opposite ends of the house) or a single family with children. The kitchen and living/dining areas are essentially one big space made cozy with a wood-burning stove and takes advantage of the grand mountain views via large picture windows. The home is lovingly stocked by the owners with books, movies, entertainment system, a gourmet kitchen, lead crystal wine glasses, and high quality linens/towels. In place of satelitte TV there is a new Roku streaming device hooked up to the TV for guests to sign into their own streaming and TV services like Netflix and others, etc. Enjoy a drink and mountain views from the private outdoor hot tub after taking a short walk to the cute village of Arroyo Seco just 1/2 mile away.

A regional contemporary hybrid of two common Taos styles, the design blends flat roof and territorial pitches to create a truly unique interpretation of Taos Architecture. The home is positioned to take advantage of the panoramic views of the nearby Taos Mountains and looks beyond to capture the distant peaks of the Truchas Range. Constructed of 14 pumice crete with R-factor of 28 and wise solar orientation keep the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Jed Magee, Architect

    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: House is well positioned off Hondo-Seco Rd. in Arroyo Seco. Two nice bedrooms with a bath for each. Plenty of room for two couples. Kitchen has everything you need. Washer/dryer provided. Plenty of parking in front of house. The back patio was my favorite place. I enjoyed the rain on the roof as well. The view from the couch is lovely as well. Caretaker Denise Neal was very helpful as were Tanya and Gary in the main office. I’d stay here again in a flash. Premier Properties has always done an outstanding job for me.

    We have stayed in this home four times. We visit Taos every summer in July for fly-fishing and have stayed in many, many VRBOs over the years. This one is the best of any we have tried and the reason we always return. The house is perfect for just the two of us. However, if you were staying with another couple or kids, the secondary bedroom is on its own wing - and everyone gets maximum privacy. We enjoy the courtyard every morning and evening for meals. From that vantage point, we have seen hundreds of darling prairie dogs, a fox, a rabbit or three, rainbows, rain on the mountains, and even elk all from the comfort of the private back courtyard. We also enjoy the spa every day and have watched many a sunrise from it. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make your meals. There are many big grocery stores in town, but also Sol Food 2-3 minutes away for quick items. The beds are comfortable, although we do wish the owners would switch to non-scented detergent for the bedding and towels. We usually have to bring our own due to the intense perfumed detergent used. The home is perfectly located for access to anything. Taos in minutes, the ski valley in minutes, and all the wonderful Arroyo Seco and El Prado restaurants in minutes. The house is private and easy to access, although the driveway needs to be graded quite badly. You will get all the quiet you need here to unplug and disconnect from the world. We will stay again and again!

Only complaint: our stay wasn’t long enough. We’ll solve that problem next time!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well located in a small village not far from Taos proper. Driving to the rental you do drive through some less then desirable lots but a lot of New Mexico is like that. The bones of the home are good with the lay out being nice. However the home needed a good dust up like repainting the walls, fix the washing machine, new throw rugs as the old ones were smelly and new linens as the linens were past their prime. Those are small touches that make a rental memorable in a good way.

    The property was lovely and the view very impressive. It was also super close to Arroyo Seco which is darling! The washer was super stinky and we could not use it, but it was otherwise fabulous!

    We loved staying in this great home just outside of the fabulous village of Arroyo Seco. It was ample in size, had a great kitchen/living area, super comfortable beds, and great bath facilities. The view and the outdoor spaces were also a wonderful feature of this property. Waking up to the ringed Mountain Views each day was breathtaking. Everything was as expected and the property manager was on top of everything. Definitely consider this property. We likely will be back!

    Lovely home, well appointed with all you need. Everything worked. 2 winter storms and we were plowed out to get out of our very long drive!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented this home at lease 12 times andLove it. BUT lately it seems it needs some extra attention. A living room chair needs replacement (fraux leather flaking badly), the patio view had been closed off due to overgrowth, the hot tub has lime build up and is very uncomfortable to sit in (rough spiked barbs cover the bottom and sides), the entrance road has huge pot holes, and the front loading washer smells awful and won’t complete a cycle unless a manual correction is madeOn each load. These tend to take away from our excitement in spending g our vacation here.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at this lovely, comfortable, well-stocked, and well-maintained property — and we enjoyed it just as much this time as we did on our first visit! We like the beautiful mountain views and all the large windows that bring in the light and fresh air. The kitchen is well-stocked and is a great place to prepare a meal while interacting with others. It would be nice to have another comfortable chair in the living room, but we brought a couple of large folding camp chairs with us this time so we made it work for our group. Taos Cow and ACEQ restaurant are just down the road so you don’t have to travel far to get good food for breakfast, lunch, ice cream, and dinner. We hope to be able to rent this house again the next time we are visiting family in Taos!
