Ridgerunner Cabin
The Space:
This magnificent cabin, nestled into the beautiful surroundings of the Taos Ski Valley, serves as the perfect spot for outdoor enthusiasts hoping to relax and recharge amidst breathtaking views.
Ideally located, delight in top-tier skiing and snowboarding directly at your fingertips and less than a mile away at Taos Ski Valley Resort. You’ll find Red River Ski & Summer Area (39 miles) offers hiking, mountain biking, and fishing in the warmer months as well. Private and peaceful, enjoy the tranquility of being surrounded by Carson National Forest and the Rio Hondo River for endless outdoor adventures.
Step into this hideaway and be greeted by warm, wooden, open-concept interiors boasting lavish amenities and charming rustic decor. Snuggle up on the plush sofa to watch your favorite movies or warm yourself by the cast iron wood-burning stove. Don’t forget the hot cocoa! Even better, challenge a friend to a foosball tournament in the cozy game room. A well-appointed kitchen hosts modern appliances and everything you need to craft delicious home-cooked meals. Gather at the dining table for hearty breakfasts while reveling in the stunning mountain views outside. Should weather permit, utilize the outdoor grill for the catch of the day or a tasty barbecue. As the sun begins to set, step outside to indulge in a rejuvenating soak in the private hot tub or gather around the fire pit for s’mores under the stars. The deck is the perfect spot to unwind, share a bottle of wine, and prepare for another day in this alpine paradise.

This casita is located close to the center of town, in a quiet old neighborhood. It has a private patio. There was a plumbing issue during our stay which was resolved promptly by the management company.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed the home's convenient location near the center of town and appreciated the charm of the quiet, historic neighborhood. It's wonderful to hear that you were able to relax on the private patio during your stay. We also want to apologize for the plumbing issue you encountered, but we're pleased that our local team was able to address it promptly to minimize any inconvenience. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another great stay in the future.
Quiet perfect walkable location with lots of living space including small study and wonderful private back patio garden space. Lots of character. Great to have a parking space connected with the casita. We stayed 8 days and had everything we needed. We hope someday to come back!
Casita was exactly as listed with easy walking access to Canyon Road, the Rail Yard, and Plaza. The rental was clean and cozy with every item you could possibly need for your stay. I look forward to renting again. Thank you for a great Santa Fe stay!
Cozy, quiet, spacious. Can be a bit dark inside in the day but a lovely space overall and incredible location. I did have to have a friend come light the pilot light on the heater though. A bit of a pain. So check that when come in. Also, the heater in bedroom does not work (only the one in lounge), but there is a powerful portable heater that suffices.

The casita was comfortable and furnished with Santa Fe charm. The location was terrific -- quiet building just a few blocks from many Santa Fe highlights.

Lovely adobe condo
Very comfortable rental with thoughtfully selected southwest art on a charming historic street. The thick adobe walls kept me cozy in heavy snow, and the kitchen was very well appointed. I would love to return.
Everything we needed and a 10 minute walk to Canyon Road

Great location and value
Close enough to the plaza and canyon road to walk if you are ok with a 20 min walk. Fan kept things cool. Place was clean. Great to have washer and dryer especially in a place so close to plaza
This place is GORGEOUS!!!! The gardens are amazing, there are roses, rosemary, apple trees and much more adorning the cobblestone path.
There was also an outdoor patio off the master that enjoyed. This little apartment was so authentic to the style of Nee Mexico, I will come back!!

Absolutely perfect!
My partner and I flew in from London to stay here for ten days. We’re jetset, well traveled and in our 40’s and rate this as one of the best spots we’ve ever stayed. Spotless, perfect location, quiet, romantic, spacious, dreamy. Close to the plaza and canyon toad, two televisions, private, comfortable bed, great private back patio. Everything was charming and we can’t rate this place highly enough. Great value for money too. Would love to stay again.
This one bedroom home was everything we needed and more. It was perfectly located two blocks from downtown and other attractions as well. It was charming, clean, and well appointed, with washer/ dryer, dishwasher, and patio with a charcoal grill. Our trip was in May so the absence of an air conditioner was not an issue. We would return here anytime. We're in Santa Fe!

Clean and comfortable
This is a wonderful facility. Only hiccup was the bedroom wall heater didn't work and I was never able to get a hold of guest service for assistance in the matter.

Authentic Santa Fe Experience
We wanted an adobe type rental in/near the historic area, and this rental fit our needs perfectly. It has the character of a 1900 adobe with most of the modern conveniences expected. Our visit was in April, so air conditioning was not needed. The kitchen was well equipped, the Villa was quiet, and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed evenings on the patio, and the location is so convenient to most everywhere we wanted to go.
Great location, walk anywhere. Classic casita with modern kitchen. We stayed 20 days and never tired of it. Would easily return providing the digital access lock is replaced. Does not work, fortunately there was a backup key.

Cute place but terrible entry system
We travel and use VRBO’s a ton and this was the first time we had ever had this much trouble accessing a home. They use a keyless entry with code. Did not work several times and if we did not have a cell phone to call for assistance to reset code we would have been locked out….place is comfortable and cute backyard for your dog. Area is hard to walk to the Plaza since side walks in the area are not complete. They did not provide COFFEE or Kleenex for guests. They have everything else you need to cook, Their heater system was a mystery…… could not get it to work and It was needed . Convenient location and we love Santa Fe to visit!

Hi Cheryl,
Thank you for taking time to leave this review. We are happy that you found our home in a convenient location, comfortable, and a cute backyard. We apologize for the trouble you had with the keyless entry lock, and we are so glad you called our 24/7 guest hotline to let us know about it. Be assured that we will have the local team check out the entry lock prior to the next guest arrival. Also, we will include a instructions on using the heater system. Please come back very soon.
The Casita was beautiful, quiet, and in a historic neighborhood. It was well-stocked. As there was no air-conditioning, keeping the unit cool at night involved opening windows, which might be as problem for some guests. Wifi was excellent. The one issue was the complicated door access, which required entering 10 digits on a very small keypad every time you wanted to enter. Worse, the code only worked about half the time, requiring standing outside and contacting Turnkey by cell phone. While the staff was responsive, we went through 5 different codes. Finally we got the physical key and then didn't need to worry about getting in. I recommend using a different access system.

Cute but darker than the pictures
Rating Details:
The property manager was more than helpful.
The vacation rental was very clean.
I was happy with the location.
I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.
Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental.
Reviewer Comments:
We arrived in the dark, the light over the door was out, and the key code didn’t work, so we stood in the dark for a while waiting for a new code. They came later to replace the light bulb. The place is cute, with a lovely private patio off the bedroom. However, the door to the patio opens only part way, so you have to shimmy between the bed and the door to get out. The bed is hard as a rock. The pillows were thin and crunchy - yes, crunchy. It is darker than the pictures show.

Good location, no internet, awful customer service
We checked in on 12/30 and emailed saying that the wifi was down, then on 12/31 I called the help center who said someone would be at the property within a few hours. On 1/1 and 1/2 the call center said someone was on their way to fix it. Not until 1/3 after asking to speak with a manager, did someone actually come. This person left us with a broken hotspsot and admitted he had no idea how to do anything related to tech. Apparently the last two renters had also reported the same problem. I run my own business and can't take meetings in busy areas so I lost out on business. The call center in the Caribbean was of no help. Had they told us no one was coming, I could've made alternate plans but because they kept assuring us that someone was on the way, we stayed home to talk to the repair person.
