Hi Julie, I'm glad you and your family enjoyed visiting some of the sights in the area and found the condo a good "home base" for your activites. Also, thanks for letting me know the directions we sent worked. I have discovered that we are tucked away on our Court and this confuses GPS. If you think there are any improvements I can make on those written directions, let me know and be sure to let me know if you'd like to visit again!

We are all really hoping that we are lucky enough that it will be availabile for our next trip to Taos.

Rona, thank you, belatedly, for your review and I so glad you enjoyed the home. We love the privacy and feeling of peace there as well! The bird feeders can be especially nice for entertainment too! I am guessing that our quiet and off-the-beaten-path location might have contributed to your initial navigational troubles and if there is anything you think is missing that I should add to the driving directions, please let me know as we try to include all appropriate landmarks and signs to help guests out. I have also checked the lockbox out to make sure it is in working order. Thanks again for staying with us. Monica

Unplug, unwind, refresh

We came here to rest--mission accomplished. The condo is decorated very stylishly, kitchen is fully furnished, and wifi and DirecTV will allow you to stay in touch with the world as much as you want to. Two excellent restaurants are within easy walking distance. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, eating breakfast, and watching the hummingbirds race back and forth. If you are looking for a place out in the country but yet close to the plaza, this is the property for you. Monica was great with pre-arrival information and very helpful in suggesting various day trips.

Final ski trip - 2021

We almost cancelled this ski trip since there was no snow, but I’m so thankful we didn’t. We loved the house. It was incredible roomy and the location between the ski valley and the town was fantastic. The views from the master bedroom were phenomenal, and one morning we were graced with a herd of quail eating birdseed outside the den window. The house was incredibly roomy, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the beds were quite comfortable. The only thing that could make this house even better is a private hot tub or large tub in the master, but that’s just my general preference. I would love to stay in this home again, during any season.

Peaceful Retreat

We truly enjoyed our stay in Monica’s casita at Quail Ridge. The check in process was easy. The owner was very quick and easy to communicate with and the casita was very clean and comfortable. The resort location is really special, about 10 minutes outside of town, in a grove of mature trees surrounded by amazing views. The casita was perfect for the three of us ladies to each have our own room with plenty of space. The living space is very comfortable and nicely furnished, open to the kitchen which is well stocked with kitchenware, pantry basics and appliances. The finishes are all very nice as well, like nice heavy blackout curtains and blinds, plenty of towels, etc. But, our favorite spot was out on the low walled patio with comfortable seating where you can drink your coffee and listen to the birds in the trees and take in the views. We enjoyed eating dinner on the patio several times as well. We look forward to returning!

Jan 2020 ski trip

We stayed the first week of January 2020 for a family ski trip to Taos. The condo is a short ~20 minute drive to Taos ski valley and also a quick drive to the town of Taos. We had a great steak dinner at Martyrs Steakhouse, burgers at The Burger Stand & Ale house, and pizza at Taos Pizza Out Back. All were great restaurants to eat at. Monica was great to communicate with. She provided detailed instructions for locating the property in the town home complex as well as instructions for check in. We had a little trouble figuring out one of the downstairs thermostats when we arrived but she was quick to respond to my text and helped me figure it out. The kitchen is well furnished and we found everything we needed to cook. The bathrooms and bedrooms were stocked with clean fresh linens and there is a washer and dryer to use if needed.

Nice Girls weekend spot

My friends and I came down from Denver for the weekend and had a great time. The location is just out of town and an easy drive - great restaurants nearby - lots of amenities on site and nearby. The fridge and kitchen is stocked with basics like condiments, coffee and tea, spices, and extras like butter and stuff. The bathrooms have lots of stuff you might need if you forget anything. Lots of books and some movies as well. Only downside is there isn't a smart TV, just DirectTV. Comfy beds and lots of linens. Overall we were very happy staying here. The hot tub is a trek and you'll need to drive to it in the winter.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Carson

Host profile image
We are two sisters who grew up in western Kansas and spent many family vacations in northern New Mexico. Our parents often used Taos and nearby Red River as home base for exploring the area and it is still a place we return to as often as possible. Our parents were also fans of having a drink at the Taos Inn and visiting the Ski Valley in all seasons. We have been pleased to own property here and are happy to share our home with other guests, be they new to the Taos experience or those who already love Taos and all things Southwest.

Why they chose this property

We chose the Quail Ridge area because of it's proximity to both town and the Taos Ski Valley. It is wonderful to be close to all yet away from the hustle and bustle of town. We love the open layout of the common area in this home, the beautiful views from the grounds and outside space and the added benefit of using the facilities at Taos Tennis at Quail Ridge.
