Arroyo Seco, New Mexico
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

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is very nice. Well kept. Be careful - the sliding glass door in the dining room locks on you when going outside. It was cold and dark - we went outside in our pajamas to look at the stars. We got locked out. no phone, no keys... We had to break a small pane of glass on the front door to get back inside. We were willing to pay. It was a debacle - and were treated like criminals. The real criminal was the property management who automatically debited our card on file with out our permission or knowledge. Grand Larceny.

Incredible views of the mountains, fully equipped, great hot tub, and within walking distance of great food and shopping in Arroyo Seco. And double-ply toilet paper!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in MANY homes in the Taos area. By far this is our favorite, and we keep returning. It's the perfect distance to walk in the morning to Sol Market for breakfast. It's minutes from Taos proper and the Ski Valley. The house is so private, and it makes you feel like the only people on earth. The home is well-kept and very clean. We will book here again and again. We have one small snafu with the home manager this time, but it was resolved quickly. It's a must-stay for smaller families or two couples. The only change I would make (and I ask this of every VRBO-type home) is that they use a free and clear detergent. The perfumed linens are overbearing and not environmentally friendly.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gorgeous home! A full equipped kitchen fit for a chef. Fantastic layout for privacy and tranquility. Outdoor dining in the backyard and a hot tub to finish the evening. Less than 15 mins away from the ski valley. Will book again and again.
Excellent property, clean, met all of my expectations. A bit challenging to find the first time and the access road would benefit from some smoothing out but was a perfect fit for my family.
Stocked with everything you need and very spacious. Property is hard to find at night and cell service is spotty so definitely try to follow the written directions provided at time of rental. Jacuzzi is amazing as well. Just book it.
House is great, views are spectacular. Driveway is in need of repair, do not venture without an SUV. We planned to vacation but also work for a few days there and this was challenging as the Wifi is basically nonexistent - difficult to even get emails let alone stream netflix or take a call. This made the trip pretty challenging and the property management company was not able to fix it. That plus a few light bulbs out, some hairs in the beds when we got there, and the experience of needing to find an extension ladder in the garage to remove a beeping out-of-battery smoke detector on a 20ft ceiling in the dark at 11pm while my 18mo old daughter was sleeping - I don't think this property is being managed very well. Pretty frustrating.

Reviewer Comments: Alto Vallecito is a beautifully designed, well kept, modern and comfortable house with everything needed for a great stay in the Taos area! Nice views and privacy. Portions of the dirt drive leading to the house are pretty rough, even with a large SUV, but drive slowly and you will be rewarded when you reach this lovely property..
Beautiful views!
This was a perfect rental for two couples. Two of us arrived from the East Coast and two arrived from Colorado and we chose this rental for 3 nights for a family get together. The views/scenery are amazing from all rooms and the kitchen had everything we needed. We’d love to rent again some day. Thank you. Sandra B
Wonderful property in which I would definitely stay again. It was spotless and well supplied with basics. The views of the mountains are spectacular and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Close to the tiny village of Arroyo Seco (1/2 mile), where there are some galleries, a few restaurants, and a small but good grocery store. Will stay here again!
Very comfortable, clean, well-equipped house situated in the cute little village of Arroyo Seco - 20 mins from Taos in one direction and 20 mins from the Taos Ski Resort in the other direction. Eating in is a pleasure - the kitchen is very chef-friendly and the dining room has a beautiful view of the mountains. Kristi, the property manager, was great and responded quickly to replace the battery in a smoke detector that was beeping. This is a perfect rental for two couples or a small family.
This home is a beautiful place nestled in the mountains with privacy and incredible views. Plenty of room for big families, comfortable beds, and well furnished. The hot tub on the deck at night is amazing, and the view of the valley below and surrounding mountains in breath taking! The care taker and owners are so helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Anything we needed, they were quick to respond and tend to! I highly recommend this beautiful home and we hope to come back! Joanna Self
Clean and everything you would need. Peaceful, far enough from town, but close enough to see and do many things. We would stay again!
