Great location… quiet. Good for a single man. Not real good if you’re a couple who cooks. Very small kitchen… like a trailer or hotel room. Mini fridge. No oven. There is a microwave….

Thank you for your review. We’re happy you enjoyed the location and quiet setting. The kitchen is indeed small, as shown in the listing photos and described in the amenities, and it is designed for light cooking rather than full meal preparation. We try to provide clear photos and information so guests can decide whether the space is a good fit for their needs before booking.

Perfect for a week ski trip to Taos!

My husband and I loved our stay at Donna's place. It was perfect for us and our dog while we were in town for the weekend. Had everything we needed and was close to the little town of Arroyo Seco, which was lovely!

An amazing property, views of the mountains to the north and sunsets and extinct volcanoes to the south. Incredibly clean and bright casita with excellent mountain breezes and top notch window coverings to shade the beautiful Arroyo Seco sun. Arroyo Seco is a very special place and this property gives you the best of it!!!!

Great location.

Right near the shops and market of arroyo Seco and minutes from the Taos ski valley this is a hard to beat choice for anyone who wants to visit the area. Quiet and relaxing. The unit was clean and very nice.

Spotless, cozy casita; easy short walk to Arroyo Seco.

We loved our short stay here. The kitchen is cute, but tiny. Several great restaurants a short walk away. Dog friendly with open spaces surrounding the casita. We would absolutely stay here again.

Refreshing

Great place to stay in a Taos region where other properties seem to try to take advantage (via excessive prices and even higher fees) of out of town visitors. Very quaint (and clean) accommodations that provided everything we needed for our short stay. Excellent location. We will definitely seek out this place again should we be back to the Taos area.

Wonderful cozy place

Donna’s place is a wonderful little farm stay. Great for if you are in town for Taos Ski Valley just 15 to 20 minutes to ski area!It’s within walking distance to a small community center with shops and restaurants. Do note that everything in the community closes by around 3 PM or so, But Donna‘s place has a small kitchen so you can use it to whip up some quick light dinner or lunch.

A bit hard to find, yet roomy and private

Very quiet and serene. Enjoyed walking to the center of town and surrounding lanes. Would stay again, so long as the host won’t mind us using the main parking area. The alternative, next to the guest entrance was difficult to get in & out of.

Wish you had asked me about the parking, I would have worked that out for you. Didn't realize you were having an issue.
