Kevin in Colorado Nederland, CO
Review Submitted: May 21, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Incredible home David and Meredith.

My family was fortunate enough to stay at the beautiful and private 'Retreat at Rancho Canyon' over Mother's Day weekend. My mother and father were visitng from the midwest and we thought we'd treat them to a get-away while they were visiting Colorado, they we're thrilled with the accomodations.

The home and the property could not be better outlined in the description, great views from every room, thoughtful space planning and decorating..the list goes on. It is evident when you enter the courtyard patio that David has put his architectural background to great use in the design and layout of each aspect of the home, and he, along with his wife Meredith and son Jordan, have done an excellent job decorating, designing and building furniture to compliment the SW theme. From the outdoor pond, waterfall, and firepit to the cozy living room and wonderful sleeping quarters the attention to detail is impeccable. It seems they have thought through every piece of this dream home, even going so far as to provide recycling, composting, and water saving measures to ensure the enjoyment of resources for all those that follow in our path. I promise, you will not be dissappointed during your stay.

The location of the home is also very convenient to town yet isolated enough to feel like you are in a secluded forest. Just 5 miles from Taos and all of the shops and museums it is the perfect answer to those looking for serenity, yet wanting to be close enough the experience the restaurants, museums, the pueblo, and the unique 'flavor' of the southwest.

Thanks again David and Meredith for sharing your wonderful home with us, we look forward to another visit in the future.

Better than the Pictures!

Steve from Houston Houston
Review Submitted: August 3, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The pictures are good but the house is even better!

Our family stayed for 7 nights and we did not want to leave. This is a great home located in a beautiful setting. We hiked every day, built a fire, relaxed and read, grilled and cooked most meals at the house, shopped in Taos, drove the Enchanted Circle, took a hot air balloon ride... What a great time!

The best kept secret

Larry and Jacquie Alabama
Review Submitted: June 18, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My husband and I just returned from four wonderful days at this beautiful home inTaos. David and Meredee made our 45th wedding anniversary a truly memorable event. From the first step into this stunning home, I knew that this would be a special four days. There was a wonderful gift basket waiting for us - from wine to toast our anniversary to candy that makes one's mouth water just remembering the taste.
We enjoyed grilling and watching the overpowering beauty of the New Mexico sunsets....sitting by the pond and listening to the tinkle of the waterfall enjoying our morning coffee....the chirping birds were an added feature.
We enjoyed using this beautiful home as our base and explored the northern New Mexico and southern Colorado mountains. We experienced wonderful food...must try Orlando's and El Toastoden for great mexican food...our goal was to find some wonderful places to eat and use the exercise bike at the house to work it off.
This home has all the amenities one would ever dream of...plus it makes you feel like you are in your own home...which is important to us.
All in all this had to be the best wedding anniversary we have ever had....thank you David and Meredee...we will return and stay longer next time.

Wonderful views and home

Jeff in DC Vienna, va
Review Submitted: April 18, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Stayed only 3 nights but still soaked in a very quiet and beautiful location. Home is very custom and detailed and has everything you could need. (They even had NM steak rub!) My only regret was not having more time. Great job on a dream home David and Meredee! I hope we can stay again before you move back!
