Spacious and serene

Our family of five enjoyed our 4 night ski vacation in this warm & homey cabin with truly gorgeous snowy views of the woods & creek. Lots of character and personal touches! All windows have working shades for privacy. The listing is accurate, and the amenities and appliances were functioning well during our stay. We were able to cook many meals in the well stocked kitchen, use the laundry, hang up wet ski clothing to dry on the well placed hooks, and restfully enjoy a movie around the TV. Much of the cookware is old & worn but usable. Beds were quite firm as noted in another review. Two had some cushion top and were comfortable after the first night, but the third was just hard, so sleep wasn’t as sound in this bed. Towels, bedding, bathrooms and kitchen were very clean. Bedrooms seemed dusty around the edges and window sills had some dead flies. Could use a more regular deep clean for highest rating. We did not have good response with some questions sent to the property managers, Vacasa, prior to our arrival. They kept apologizing for high email volume and never did answer all of our questions. Overall, we would enjoy staying here again, and definitely would if a bit less dusty, cookware updated, and beds made more comfy.

Great View and Location, some issues

We loved the view out of the back of the home. It is conveniently located near the slopes. The house was generally well provisioned. It had plenty of space for the 5 of us. The heat and the thermostat had a mind of it’s own. Cold the first night (69) no matter what we set the temp to, very hot the next day (83), cold the next night (68). We appreciated that the owner provided lots of fire wood, but the fireplace generated very little heat. We discovered space heaters on our own. The help line seemed to know nothing of them… Oven did not work, thankfully the cooktop did. All of us felt the mattresses were too hard and unconventional.

Stay and Ski

We stayed a few nights at this property and used it for our base camp for a couple of days skiing at Taos Ski Valley. It is nice a close to the resort with out paying resort prices. We loved the river right off the back deck and the house layout. Fit out family of four with one adult friend very easily. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed to cook. I will stay here again if available.

Great Location

Great property. Very near the base of the Ski Mountain. The house is extremely well fitted-out. The HVAC and fireplace controls are a tad wonky but not a reason to not stay there. I would book it again.
