Six of us met in the middle in this lovely home to catch up with each other. We very much enjoyed the comforts of the home and the beauty of the area. It was very clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen for cooking all our meals there. Great memories that will last our lifetimes. Thank you!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here with our family. The access to the mountains and town made the location very convenient and the views were stunning. Greatly equipped for everything we needed.
Lovely and quiet home near taos
Early March Taos ski trip. Wonderful place halfway between Taos ski resort and Taos town. 26 min to Taos skiing, 4 min to arroyo Seco little town, and 20 min to town of Taos. Clean, great hot tub, warm heated tile flooring. Garage so didn’t have to scrape off car in AM. Didn’t cook at all but kitchen looked well stocked. Bedrooms great - simple, comfortable, clean.
The house looks beautiful in the pictures but when we arrived it was quite different. The home has a beautiful layout and is unique, but it's in need of updates, painting, and repairs. The yard was very unkempt and overgrown, so much so that it made the house look abandoned. The caretaker drove up a few minutes after we got there and had no idea we were set for an early check in. There was no air conditioning, which we were unaware of. We did follow the instructions in the book to keep all the shades pulled down and run the fans, but it was still uncomfortably hot in the house. The view on the back off the house is amazing, but with all the shades pulled down you can't really enjoy it. Once we got into the kitchen and started unloading groceries I noticed mouse poop on the kitchen counters and sink, and in cabinets on a lot of the dishes. I texted the caretaker immediately and it took the her several hours and a 2nd text to come clean the counters. She also brought mouse traps and 2 mice were caught that night. There were bugs everywhere, especially spiders. We killed probably 7-10 spiders a day in the house. There were also ants in the master bathtub every day. The bugs were a major issue for us. It made us all uncomfortable. I did not feel safe letting my children play in the yard. It was so overgrown and we were worried about snakes. We were also told to not go outside at night because bears and coyotes do come down from the mountains sometimes. The twin spare bedroom has no drawer space for clothing. There is a large closet where you can hang clothes, but no where to put folded clothes, underwear, socks, etc. The master bedroom has a dresser with 2 drawers on the bottom for folded clothes, but the drawers are very flimsy and fall out easily. The house has satellite TV, but it is very grainy. There is no streaming TV at the house, and the TV in the twin room is at least 25 years old. We had to go buy a Roku at the local Walmart in order to watch TV and enjoy it. The master bed is hard as a rock and very uncomfortable. I was so excited about this house before we arrived, and I really tried hard to make the best of it. But we could not wait to leave and go home.
We were welcomed with a wave to a clean house nicely appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The kids had fun at the pool tennis courts and exploring the Arroyo Seco area. Cozy home with high ceilings pretty tiled bathrooms with master soaking tub and 2 custom fire places. We enjoyed the patios hot tub and large picture windows with beautiful mountain views! Wonderful place to relax thank you we enjoyed our stay!
The best part about this adobe was the view of the mountains from the hot tub!! The house had some bugs-nothing big, but small spiders, ants and some moths. Be aware that this house has no air conditioning, and no ceiling fans but plenty of picture windows so it really heats up in 90-100 degrees. If you are going to shower, do it early in the day. Also, the outdoor patio/yard is very overgrown, and the prairie dogs, while cute, are encroaching into the yard. The tennis court and pool area are nice.
Just a quiet getaway for us. Very peaceful and our 13-year-old son loved it as well. We will be back.
We absolutely loved spending a few days in Arroyo Seco. The property was beautiful and well maintained, and we had amazing views of the mountains on one side and the valley on the other. The town of Arroyo Seco is only a few minutes from the property, and Taos proper is a short 20 minute drive away. The perfect place for a staycation away from the hustle and bustle.
Quiet, great location that is just a short drive to the artsy little village of Arroyo Seco and awesome hiking trails along Rt. 150. Taos is just a 15 minute drive so in non-COVID times, this home will be close to all the restaurants and shops of the city. During COVID times, it was a needed retreat after months and months of hard work and social isolation and lack of engagement with nature. The property owners never failed to be responsive to any questions or concerns we had.
