    The pictures are very deceiving. The location of the VRBO was not what I expected. It's located in a neighborhood next to barking dogs. I was wanting something more secluded and out of town. Taos is not the place to stay. Red River and Taos Ski valley was what I was expecting. My bad for not doing a better job of researching the area.

    The house is beautiful. The decor design yard and fence are beautiful. Upon check in, I was asked about the cleanliness of the place, and I gave it a five. The next day, I noticed some minor things like the fans we're dusty in the bathroom. There looks like there was some prior water damage that maybe some mildew had been growing there, so it smelled a little musty. The accommodations for the kitchen were great, and so was the laundry availability. Some other visitors commented on barking dogs and I did have this experience in the middle of the night early morning hours on a couple of the nights, although temperatures outside were very cold so I don't know why anyone would leave there.Pets out in those conditions. There was snow, but it was not difficult to navigate. They salt the streets, so travel was fairly easy. There was a lot of construction i'm one of the main thoroughfares through town.So it was a little confusing on, actually getting to the place. Overall, it was comfortable private and exactly what I was looking for.

    Clean, quiet, nicely furnished. Property is in very good condition. No A/C but ceiling fans in every room plus portable fans available and didn't get too hot. Would definitely stay here again.

    The home itself is beautiful and comfortable. We so enjoyed the large kitchen and welcoming living room. Bedrooms were perfect for 3 of us. Comfortable beds and large bedrooms. Great location...short walk to the new Taos Cow ice cream parlor and a short 5 min drive to town. I will definitely book this home again!

    I judge overnight stays on the level of comfort on the bed. The queen bed was perfect. Cozy, soft, plush and good linens. It was unclear the second bed was a Murphy bed in the original listing until after I got my email confirmation. That bed was perfect for little kids, but would’ve been a little too hard for me. Still cozy linens on that bed too! Place was well stocked with all the essentials including spices!

    My husband and I were thrilled with our stay. The home is beautiful and feels high-end yet comfortable, all at once. It’s just as advertised, and we arrived to a spotless clean. It’s a small detail, but we loved the reading lights on the bed in the master bedroom with USB functionality. Thank you for another great vacation rental experience, Vacasa!
