    The property was in great shape. It had many excellent attributes like updated kitchen features, comfortable living room, the bedrooms were restful, house was clean, and the wifi was strong. Our family truly enjoyed staying there. Our next visit will be during a snowy season, like January or February, so we can built a snowman and have snowball fights. Ron was a great & friendly host who responded quickly to our questions and requests.

    Gorgeous views from this secluded getaway in the mountains north of Taos! Awesome property close to Taos city center, artsy community of Arroyo Seco andTaos Ski Valley. Our 6 person family group cooked gourmet dinners in the beautiful, well equipped kitchen— what a delightful surprise! Windsor Castle was our home away from home for a week and we loved every minute of our time there❣️ Thanks for your hospitality, Ron!!

    While the home is overall nice, my main issue was that the post says there is AC. I specifically messaged the host to confirm and he said, yes, central AC. There is no AC of any kind whatsoever. There was no instruction on how to gain entry to the home. We arrived very late at night and I was slightly panicked that we wouldn't be able to get in I was able to call him and he said the door was just open. There was no communication beforehand about that. There was dust all over the surfaces, but the windows were open, and I guess Taos is just dusty? The yard is very nice and was great for our dog. But we found a butcher knife and a paring knife lying on the ground outside the master window. There were good things. The bed is comfortable, the house is private. It could have been nice excewpt for the unfortunate downsides and the lie about the AC. That pretty much started us out with a very negative attitute. When I tried to ask about the AC on the 1st day of our stay - he never responded.

    Such a fun house! We were so pleasantly surprised at how amazing it was. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s clean, it’s bright and refreshing inside. The hot tub is amazing and huge. The kitchen is VERY well stocked. Plenty of bath towels and hot tub towels to go around. Shower in the steam shower or bathe in a tub with a view! Ron is a SUPERHOST, and was available whenever we needed him. Contact him directly and he will get back with you!! Thank you so much Ron for your awesome home and always being available for us. We will recommend this place a thousand times over! We definitely recommend Windsor Castle!

    Stayed 1 week as a party of 4 people and 1 dog. This is a fabulous spot, great views of the mountains, can walk to extensive hiking trails just up the road, with the Ski Valley being a short 15 minute drive. The house is spacious and lovely, with large sitting areas outside that are protected from sun and rain. Ron is a wonderfully attentive and responsive host. We have been here several times, and it has always been the nicest vacation rental experience we have had in the Taos area.
