Sad to be home

Just got back from spending 8 nights in Taos and had to write a review as soon as I could get to a computer! We were two families--4 adults and 4 kids--and the Mariposa Ranch House was perfect! It is perfectly located between town and the Ski Valley, making travel in and around Taos very easy. The kids all loved the animals, treehouse, and hot tub and the adults loved sitting around the fire after long days of skiing. The owners were very accessible and keep the house fully stocked with everything you could need. Trying to convince the husband we should return in the summer...

My family and I thoroughly enjoy our stay at Mariposa ranch. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, hot tub was delightful, the views were fabulous, house was spacious, and there was plenty to do. We went into Taos, hiked around the ranch, helped feed the farm animals, and went fishing to mention a few things. It was the most peaceful and relaxing vacations we have ever had.

My family and stayed at The Mariposa Ranch for a week in June. We were so pleasently surprised when we arrived! The pictures don't even do it justice! It is an amazing house. Our daughters were in heaven with their bedroom and all the animals on the ranch. It was so much fun sitting on the porch watching the girls "play", with the goats, the donkey, and the mule. The horses in the back of the house was the icing on the cake! The house was clean and stocked very nicely. We were very comfortable and had a wonderful time in Taos. We would definately come back to Mariposa Ranch. Vee was helpful and easy to work with. You will not be disappointed!

Perfect stay for Taos Ski Valley vacation

Stayed four nights at the ranch house with another couple. Four adults and 3 children, 9 to 12 years old. Perfect location for skiing and going into town. Coming "home" after skiing, sitting on the front porch, looking out on the range and feeling the warm sun will be long remembered as well as watching the kids enjoy being with the horses, lamas and other animals. We've traveled the world and this is one of the best most fun places we have ever stayed. The house was warm and inviting and the pictures do not do it justice. The decorating was great and we liked the exposed beams and master bath design with a big shower and skylight. Beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed being off the beaten path (yet still convenient to everything) with no road noise and seeing the Milky Way at night. House was spotless. We look forward to returning next year. Thank you Vee!

Perfect Place for our vacation

Spent the week before Christmas here with the kids. The house was perfect! Excellent location between all that we wanted to do. Two living areas was great with teenagers, they could enjoy a little tv, while my husband and I enjoyed the fire in the other room. Cool rustic dining table was perfect for us to play games in the evenings...although I'm sure if we were here under warmer circumstances we would have gone outside and enjoyed the property! Kitchen had everything you would need for any type of meal, but you are also very close to a variety of restaurants. Since the house is pet friendly, I did appreciate the wood/tile only floors. It was spic n span clean top to bottom. The first day we went skiing was the day of the blizzard..I had never been so happy to get back off the slopes into that warm house, take a hot shower and get into the warm cozy bedding! The owner quickly responded to any of my questions and offered some great advice on places to go. Would definitely recommend this place to family friends!

Spent the week before Christmas here. I don't think the pictures do this house justice. It was very spacious for the 4 of us and yet very cozy. Kitchen had everything needed if you wanted to eat in, but you are also close to a variety of restaurants as well. With two living areas, the kids could relax after a day of skiing by watching a favorite tv show while the husband and I sat in the other living area and enjoyed the fire. Also liked the rustic dining table, was perfect for playing board games in the evening. Hot showers, warm cozy bedding is always a "want" when staying at a rental and this place did NOT disappoint! I also appreciated the all wood and tile floors. We were thankful to be able to bring our two small dogs, but I have stayed at "pet friendly" homes with carpet, and it's been kind of gross..this house was spotless top to bottom.-- Vee was always quick to respond to my questions and gave us some great suggestions for our visit. Would definetly recommend to family and friends and if we head back to Taos, this is the place we will be renting!

Outstanding Vacation Home!

5 of 5

My husband and I stayed at the Ranch House with our 2 young kids last summer for 2 weeks. This property is outstanding in every way. It is impeccably clean. This is the cleanest rental property I have ever witnessed. It is on par with the nicest Ritz Carlton hotels. The home is very well-maintained and well-equipped with things you might need for an extended stay (laundry detergent, paper goods, etc.). The furniture and beds are all very comfortable. The master bath is very spacious and the water pressure is excellent. The property itself is beautiful. The kids were occupied every minute of our trip, fishing in the pond, playing with the animals, playing in the tree house and teepee, etc. The owner is very helpful, reliable and responsive. The location cannot be beat (in between town and the ski valley). I recommend this property to anyone seeking a first class rental property in the Taos, NM area.
