We've been to Taos many many times, but have either stayed in the ski valley (ski season) or at a BNB closer into town (summer/fall). This trip, TSV did not have availability for the dates we wanted, so I did a VRBO search and found this house. It was perfect for us. Beautiful location, and it really was nicely situated between the town and the ski valley. Very easy to get both places. Plus, it's 2,000 ft lower than the ski valley, which helps with sleeping at night. The house is well-designed and maintained, spacious, especially for 2 people - which is their max occupancy - nicely appointed, comfortable, and substantially less expensive than staying up in the ski valley. The Esse stove was a treat, but may be a little perplexing at first, since it has a different manual of operations than we're used to in the US. Full instructions are at the house, and it really wasn't difficult to produce excellent meals. The host, Kayta, was responsive to all of our questions, and very helpful. That said, getting in and out of the house was a breeze, so we didn't have to lean on the host much. Very highly recommended!
