Beautiful place, great host, clean space. Just right for our week in Amgel Fire. Easy to get to and close enough to town if you need anything but far enough away to not feel like you are in the city. Highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Angel Fire!

This was our last and longest stop on a week long road trip. As soon as we walked through the door we felt settled and at home, this place is perfect. It's so secluded we could see the milky way one night, but so close to things that we spent time in Santa Fe, Taos, and Angel Fire with ease. The other reviews are correct. The beds are older and there aren't locks on the bathroom doors, I guess if that is important to you this isn't your rental. The space was well cared for and thoughtfully decorated with the host's own art. If we had to do it over we would have just spent the whole week here

Fantastic value, really appreciate the space and let friendliness of the location. I have a bad back so wish the main bed was a little more firm, but not enough to ruin our trip. Would definitely stay here again!

It was a very quaint place to stay. Centrally located to see surrounding towns/places. Place seemed clean. Everything you need to cook for the family as a home away from home.

Oldie but a goodie. The house was very clean. There were lots of extra special touches such as an abundance of towels and handmade fancy soaps in the bathrooms. The decor was fun to look at. Beds were fairly comfortable and suited our needs just fine.

This rustic cabin with great views 10 mins outside of Angel Fire was great for our stay with our dogs. Though it was very dusty, the kitchen and linens were well-stocked, and the fenced yard was good for the dogs.

Loved this VRBO - it was so cozy for my husband and our standard poodles. The bed was super comfortable. Just overall a super nice place. And Jacqui was an amazing host and wonderful artist!! Her art is throughout the VRBO.
