Perfect for us!
Review Submitted: January 6, 2009
Date of Stay: December 2008
Three families stayed in this house (9 total). It was perfect! There isn't a bath on the lower level, so we put the kids down there since that is where the bunk room is, along with a 4th bedroom and a TV. It gets cold down there, but the house had a space heater that fixed that problem.
The house is in a great location. Very private and open, at the same time. Lots of room especially outside.
My husband's only complaint was the inside fireplace was not wood burning.
The house is very close to the action. You can take the shuttle to the slopes for a dollar each way. Just make sure to call for a pickup from the slopes, so you don't get left. With the shuttle pick up, private houses get priority over condos. Parking at the slopes is non-existent when it's busy.
Overall, the house was very comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed. The two coffee pots were great for us. We drink coffee all day long. My recommendation is to bring a knife, if you cook. Don't let the Henckels block fool you!
You must have a 4WD because the driveway is so steep. We had to park on the road. This house is not for people in a wheelchair since the walkway to the front door is very narrow (the width of a shovel) and surrounded by snow. And stairs everywhere even in the garage.
Drink lots of water, so the stairs don't make you out of breath, if you aren't used to the altitude.
The nearest grocery store is 2 miles away but very expensive. When I went the first day, they were out of almost everything. If you are staying a while or have a big group, take a day and go to Taos for a visit and stop by a real grocery store on the way home.
One nice thing is they had a Graco play pen in the upstairs closet. If we had known this, we wouldn't have lugged ours across Texas!
We all had a blast at this house and would stay here again, for sure!
