WALK TO PLAZA & DOWNTOWN FROM THIS AFFORDABLY LUXURIOUS HOME

This condo is exactly as advertised ~ it was clean and had all the basic kitchen supplies needed. The owners left a fresh loaf of bread and a bottle of wine to welcome us. The condo is situated just off the main road which made walking to the heart of town easy. The property was very clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend staying here if you are coming to Taos.

My husband and I have stayed in countless homes listed on VRBO and I have to give this one the very highest marks yet! The home was exactly as listed regarding location, and the photos, as good as they are can not compare with how well appointed this home really is. When we arrived, the house was spotless and very well maintained, and the owners could not have been more helpful and responsive. We asked several questions by e-mail before our arrival and Lise was back with answers, always on the same day.
After driving for twelve hours to get there, we were much too tired to go shopping or to find a restaurant and one of the biggest blessings was having an easily prepared meal waiting for us in the freezer. This has not ever happened to us before....amazing! Not only that but there were fresh flowers on the dining table coupled with a bottle of wine and chocolates! What more could we have asked?
When reading reviews on every home we have visited in the past, almost every one mentions a well appointed kitchen. This home was different in that it truly is well appointed. The knives are sharp, there is every cooking accoutrement you could ever need and everything was well organized and easily located. Wow! We will measure every place we stay against this one from now on.
It doesn't stop there either. In the bathrooms, one would think they were in a hotel. If you forgot your toothpast there's a small tube in the basket, along with shampoo, bath cubes and body wash. Let me tell you....this never happens! The furniture and beds are comfortable and there are plenty of linens for all your needs and the rooms are spacious. Our favorite place was the colorful kitchen where we gathered with our friends to cook and fellowship.
While visiting Taos, we went to the pueblo, drove to Arroyo Secco to shop and then on up to Taos Ski Valley. We ate at Michael's Kitchen, Five Star Burgers and a Mexican place whose name slips my mind, located behind San Fransisco Church. The guys fished in a small lake just east of Questa on the scenic circle road, where they caught their limit of trout every day.
One other cool thing we did was visit Lise and her husband at their gallery in Panasco, a town located at the start of the High Road to Santa Fe. The drive was beautiful and we loved getting to meet the people who put together one of the best appointed places we will probably ever rent.
If you are planning a visit to Taos, this is the place to stay, hands down

Our stay at this condo could not have been better -- from the immaculate floors to the well-stocked, large kitchen to the very comfortable master bedroom -- with a desk for writing by the open floor to ceiling glass doors. (See in your mind the afternoon breeze billowing the curtains.) The courtyard is peaceful and exactly what we expected. The walk to the galleries and restaurants in the center of Taos was easy (we only started the car to travel to hikes in the area), and the walks through the tree-shaded neighborhood were enjoyable as well. Our time on the upstairs deck was particularly pleasant. The owners even let us pick hydrangeas from the flower bed so we had fresh flowers every day. We would recommend this rental to anyone.
