Three of us had a great time at Carmi's place. The property is beautiful inside & out; we loved finding new art around every corner. The kitchen was well-stocked above & beyond the basics--we especially appreciated the coffee & tea selection the first morning before we got to the grocery story. The hot tub was great and the cover was SO easy for one person to open & close--made sunrise + late night dips possible since some of us are early birds while others are night owls. We loved having privacy & views on every side while being just a short drive to food, the plaza, hiking, etc. We reached out to the property manager George once when power went out during a storm; he was super helpful & confirmed it was a general blackout in the area & nothing in the house itself. Overall it was a fantastic stay & we are already talking about possibly returning. Thanks so much!
Our extended family really enjoyed staying at Carmi’s place in El Prado. There is a ton of space, including two bedrooms with en suite baths. The kitchen was very well equipped, but pots and pans seemed to have been put away dirty, so we had to wash everything out before using it. Our bed was comfortable with nice linens. The shower in the largest bathroom took a long time to heat up, but the other showers warmed up much more quickly. The house was toasty warm, even when it was quite cold outside. We loved the hot tub! The area is beautiful and there are great views from all the windows. It’s about a 10 minute drive to the Plaza and a half hour to the Ski Valley. We found it to be a good home base for our time in Taos!
We had a wonderful stay at the Rusty Truck in late June through mid-July. What a gorgeous setting, very private, with amazing views throughout the day! It was a perfect, spacious place for my husband and me and one of our adult children, with three bedrooms. Even better, the master suite (huge, with walk-in closet and fabulous bathroom) is separated from the other bedrooms and bathrooms by the living/dining/kitchen, so you really can get some privacy when you need it. We had everything we needed in the kitchen -- pots, pans, utensils, etc -- for cooking and really enjoyed using the new grill. The Internet was amazing -- we have stayed in Taos during the summer off and on for 15 years and have never had such good Internet. That was a huge plus, since we both had to do a little work. And Sondra, the property manager, was terrific, very helpful and available when we needed her to help us solve a Dish TV issue. She did so with a smile on her face -- thank you! Can't say enough good things about the Rusty Truck, from the space to the view to the privacy to the amenities to sitting out on the patio and enjoying a star-filled sky. It's truly a wonderful place to spend any vacation, in this case our first since COVID hit. It was magical! We can't wait to go back!
Our family enjoyed the property, accommodations, and location. It has everything you need and more for relaxing, or as a home base for exploring all of northern New Mexico. We would book again with excitement!
Carmi's house is not only beautiful, spacious, and well planned to accommodate a whole family very comfortably, but there are details around every corner that make this place ultra special. There are tastefully selected art pieces and antiques placed in just the right spots both inside and outdoors that lend a whimsical ambience to the experience. My favorite part was sitting in the awesome hot tub at night and looking at the incredible night sky-- so full of stars that you never got bored of looking. The whole family was impressed by how well equipped the kitchen was and we couldn't stop marveling over it every time we made a meal together. The grounds are stunning and extensive, and Carmi's house is surrounded by really healthy trees of all kinds-- we even noticed a pear tree in one corner and would love to come back in the late summer/fall to see/sample the fruit! Carmi communicated with us just the right amount-- giving us some dining and activity suggestions before our arrival and then a very relaxed, no pressure check-in about the gardeners doing a really quick planting while we were there. It was a pleasure to stay in this home, and we felt utterly free AND well taken care of the whole time. Thank you, Carmi!
The property was charming, with lots of pieces of funky and interesting art, both outside and inside. Easy access to Taos and the ski area, and beautiful views of mountains and countryside.
The house itself is quite spacious and beautiful but it’s the location that sets it into an amazing experience. Few houses around with almost zero sound except the wind. Morning views of the sunrise over the mountains. Stellar night sky views while relaxing in the hot tub. Family games by the wood burning Kiva. We all enjoyed it so much.
We really enjoyed the week at this wonderful property. Amazing views of mountains from the front and back outdoor gathering spaces, spent much time sitting outdoor and enjoying the views (and birds and bunnies). . Well positioned for getting to glorious hiking along the road to Taos Ski Valley. Comfortable beds in separate master suites. Accommodating well stocked kitchen. I’d stay here again!!
Very nice home with everything you would need and more. Comfortable beds. Beautiful view of the mountains. Lots of wildlife to see. Near many attractions. The owner is very helpful. Highly recommend.
Our stay in Taos was everything we hoped. The house is in a convenient location to Taos and an easy drive to the ski resort. The kitchen had everything we needed...except I might have made homemade pizza if it had a mixer. As it was, we enjoyed great takeout pizza from Pizano’s, and I soaked in the hot tub while my husband drove to pick it up. No complaints here. Thanks, Carmi, for sharing your space.
