Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house had a SEVERE fire ant infestation, broken garbage disposal, a 40 gallon water heater that is insufficient for this size house/max capacity of guest, so we had to ration showers for the 3 adults and 4 kiddos every day so everyone could take a quick hot shower. All things that the owner and property management company were fully aware of and failed to address before we checked in. The Master Bedroom mattress has to be over 30+ years old and is the thinnest and hardest mattress we've ever slept on. There are many more other beautifully maintained, comfortable, and up to date homes in the Los Altos area that you are better served staying in. This property was one headache another. We've never been so irritated staying in a property in Taos (and we've been vacationing in Taos for over 20 years) that we were literally counting down the days until we could check out and head back home. The fire ants was so invasive that they even got in to our children's snacks on our 12+ hour drive back home and all inside our car. Horrible rental experience overall.
My family and some friends stayed at Casa de Esqui for a week while we skied at Taos and Angel Fire. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and large. We had plenty of room both to socialize together and to get away from each other. The layout of the house was perfect for us. The kitchen was well stocked and had enough room for several people to work in it at the same time. Given the time of year and our preferences, we didn't use the outside or any of the community facilities so I can't comment on them, but we were really happy with the house. I would highly recommend staying here.

Plenty of amenities and anything you may have in your own home was provided. Huge kitchen to cook in, amazing backyard views, plenty of space for a large family.
The property managers, Gary & Kristy, are amazing! They where easy to contact with a quick call, they helped us with checking in and checking out. They where very respectful of our time and electronic communication. The property was “Imaculate”!!! Hot tub on, hot and clear water. Every room had its own fans and windows. The decor was perfect and the kitchen was a chefs dream! I am coming back again & again.

Reviewer Comments: Very nice house, except the windows need to be replaced, which will be done in the near future as the new windows were in the garage, which meant we could not use the garage. Kitchen well stocked with appliances, condiments, and pots and pans. Hot tub didn’t have enough water and we couldn’t find a hose, but the caretaker tiki care of it within hours of being contacted.
Very nice house. Very well appointed. Great location!!! Will be back
We had 10 friends from Colorado at Casa de Esqui for a long weekend- cashing in on our ski days at Taos from Ikon Pass. We loved the place. Location was great for easy mountain access and the property was amazing. Would recommend and stay again. 2 minor critiques: there were a few broken windows that let in a cold draft and the oven/range are pretty old so took a long time to cook things in there. Otherwise wonderful- thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at Casa de Esqui. Very quick 15 minute drive to Taos Ski Area and gorgeous mountain views from the hot tub. Some areas could use a little updating, but definitely a good bang for your buck.
