    We had a very nice stay for our 18th annual ski trip. The location was perfect, about 1/2 way from Taos Ski Valley and Angel Fire. The house had plenty of room to spread out. Check in and check out was simple. Overall great stay.

    We were in Taos for a family gathering for my dad’s memorial. The house is a home with history and comfort for a multigenerational group. Large and rambling and full of old Taos charm.

    My siblings and I gathered to celebrate my father's birthday. The house easily accommodated the six of us, with room around the dining table for other friends. The living room is huge, and we loved sitting in the two courtyards with their mountain views. Perfect!

    Taos experience, spacious and comfortable, close to dining and yet a very reasonable distance to the slopes.

    My family of four loved our stay at Casa del Sol. The house is large and very comfortable with great views. Note that there is a treacherous step-down sunken dining room with dark flooring between the entrance and kitchen and it is very easy to wipe out off the edge. It took a few days to get used to it but otherwise this was a great place.

    This house is large and well equipped. The 8 of us (4 adults, 4 kids ages 7-11) could easily spread out and everyone had a great time. We cooked a few dinners in the kitchen and the kids spent time playing in the yard, even though it was covered in snow. We didn't roam from the property on foot, but it's in a nice neighborhood and close to everything. Great to just head up the road to skj, and a quick drive into town for dinner. The house had everything we needed and we were saying how lovely it would be in the warmer months with the patio and many screen doors to let the breeze in.
