Amazing property with great hosts

We enjoyed this beautiful home with breathtaking views. It was great for me and my family, we had plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy our relaxing stay with amazing views all around us. The walking trail down to the hot springs was very close and was a nice hike with amazing views. I would recommend this place to anyone. We will definitely book again in the future. The hosts were very helpful and everything was a breeze! Thanks again!

A beautiful escape at the end of the road

This home is stunning! The red earth walls are warm and inviting and it's clear that the home is custom in every way. The french doors from each bedroom open up to beautiful views and comfy seating areas. We loved our stay so much, we extended it for an extra night. Katherin was a very gracious host and we had a wonderful stay! 10/10

Tranquil Gem !

Top of the list of VRBO properties where I have stayed . A very special place. We stayed 3 nights and did not leave property . It is situated between historic Manby Hot Springs (good short hike ! right from property) with views of the Dobson House (! this was a surprise). We felt we were in the middle of nowhere yet completely safe and secure. The location is residential with neighbors few and far between. Good Wi-fi. The hot tub was VERY clean and already hot when we got there, worked perfectly, easily controlled and perfectly situated. The beds comfortable and kitchen well-stocked . Outdoor spaces were divine and each patio seemed to have its own bird friends/species. The road in was 4x4 worthy ! A little intimidating if we would have needed to go back and forth to town. It is a slow but doable 4 miles of graded dirt but honestly once we were there with (recommend) carry groceries in, we felt zero need to leave. A fantastic stay and I cannot thank you enough Katherin for sharing your place. It was just what the doctor ordered and then some ! Beautiful, peaceful and memorable. (*We found ourselves attached to whomever the oversized height kitchen and bathrooms were designed for. I could only view the top of my head in mirrors and had no small concern that the gas stove would light my hair on fire . I used a stool (provided !). We are fans dear sir or madam that you have in your possession a house made just for you ! Kudos and thanks for sharing !) Superb

Red earth palace

Absolutely phenomenal stay in Taos, NM! This home was beyond amazing - from the cozy interior to the perfect location. The highlight was definitely the private hot springs hike, an experience like no other! Being able to unwind in the hot tub under the stars after a day of adventure was pure bliss. Plus, the convenience of being close to town added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip. 10/10, would definitely stay here again!

New Mexico Oasis

The property itself had the perfect New Mexico ambience to it. For those that want to feel "off the grid" in a relaxing retreat will surely find that here. I stayed for skiing with friends and we really enjoyed having fires, watching the stars from the hot tub and using the kitchen which as everything you will need. I will cherish the memories here and certainly will consider coming back. This place is a HIDDEN GEM which makes me love it even more. Every amenity was provided for and not many property hosts get it right but these guys did!
