Casa Illuminada - panoramic views, clubhouse with indoor pool, tennis court

We had two families and had a wonderful week. Property was ready early and very clean. Property manager was easy to reach for checkin instrustions and all was as expected. Kids got to swim in the club pool and play basketball during our off times from skiing. Its a perfect distance between Taos and Taos Ski Valley. The house layout had plenty of room and was great for our families. The hot tub under the NM stars was incredible. We would definitley stay again.

Kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need. Back yard views were beautiful! Hot tub was amazing. The subdivision was quiet and perfect for nice walks. House caretaker was easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. 10 billion stars on this vrbo!!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second month-long stay at Casa Illuminada. The house is in an ideal location, and nothing beats the gorgeous El Salto mountain right outside the window. Nice, quiet street, and spacious and lovely house. The property manager does a great job in preparing a clean and ready house, and the house is well appointed. However, the appliances are older and often don't work properly--dishwasher leaves grit on everything, washing machine stops mid-cycle and has to have the lid weighted to keep working. These kinds of things detract from the overall experience, as do loose tiles on the floors and peeling stucco out back. For the price, these types of things should be repaired and this type of updating is essential. It's a gorgeous spot and overall a comfortable house, but its due for some TLC.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We fully enjoyed our stay at Casa Illuminada and look forward to being back in the future. The house is spacious and comfortable, with staggering views of the mountains. We enjoyed having access to the community pool and tennis courts and the convenience of being just a few minutes from the ski valley and downtown Arroyo Seco. Each night we'd walk out to Rim Road to watch the sunset and meet neighbors--some residents, some visitors. The house manager was very responsive, and the house is stocked for a comfortable stay. I will say that its years of being rented are starting to show--there are some loose tiles in the floors and the patio could use a paint job. But overall it's thoughtfully outfitted and a beautiful place to settle in for a stay in the Taos area.

Just finished a 5-night stay (March 2024) with 2 families skiing at Taos. The house is very clean, comfortable and convenient, located in a quiet neighborhood close to the ski mountain road and a 15-minute drive to Taos ski village. The house has great views towards the mountains and lots of windows. Furniture, linens, etc were very comfortable but not so fancy as to induce anxiety. Kitchen was very functional and fairly well stocked. The house was the perfect size for 2 families of four. We would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Started out with issues with the requirements for pets, required that they be keep in cages when we were not at the house. Reason was the furniture and cleaning issue. It should be pet friendly or no pets. Once there the furniture was not at a level of I consider very new....but we managed with well trained dogs not to allow them on the furniture. Overall stay was good had a couple of issues the infloor heating had an issue before we arrived... it took a day to catch up... space heaters made it comfortable till it caught up.Did have a smoke issue with the main fireplace after a heavy snow, I think that was do to the chimney cap being off the (sitting on the deck), it cleared . Location was good, neighborhood was nice and quiet. Not a very big TV for watching any sports... but you should be outside.

We had a great stay at this property. It was perfect for our family of 4 and our friends' family of 4. Comfortable and convenient location to hiking, Arroyo Seco, and Taos.
