Buena Vista Panoramic Mountain Views Outdoor Kiva Fireplace

Mesa - Upper Los Colonias - 5 miles to town of Taos, NM and 13 miles to Taos Ski Valley

Buena Vista is a comfortable two bedroom home set within the sweeping landscape of Taos Mesa. Recently renovated, the home is equipped with modern amenities and furnished with care. The two well-appointed bedrooms are located at opposite ends of this one story house, so there's plenty of privacy. You may prefer the large front bedroom with the sunrise mountain view, king sized bed, and convenient access to the hall bathroom with generous tiled shower, or you may favor the cozy back bedroom with en suite bathroom. Make sure to let us know if you'd prefer the back bedroom made up with one king sized bed or two extra-long twin beds. Either way, luxuriate in the fine hotel quality linens. To ensure a restful night's sleep, both bedrooms are furnished with Tempurpedic Cloud mattresses and, for year-round comfort, the rooms are equipped with large ceiling fans with exceptionally quiet DC motors and feature heated Saltillo tile floors.

At the center of the home, the Great Room provides plenty of space for gathering under the traditional viga ceiling, and plenty of windows to take in that stunning view. Sink into the American Leather Comfort Sleeper sectional sofa for an evening of fireside reading, or pull the shades and take advantage of the up-to-date media equipment. Three flat screen TVs are connected to satellite service; one in each bedroom and a large screen with blu ray player in the Great Room. Stream your favorite playlist over the Bluetooth enabled sound bar or cast from your own entertainment accounts via the Chromecast. For your convenience, wireless high speed Internet and USB charging stations are provided.

Open to the Great Room, the updated kitchen is fully equipped with a convection microwave, gas range, refrigerator with ice maker and ultra-quiet dishwasher, as well as an array of small appliances, utensils and pantry staples. The kitchen contains plenty of dinnerware for a group to share a meal at the generously sized dining room table, whether it be home cooked (Why not try your hand at making a batch of New Mexico red chile?) or conveniently brought in from the local market. For alfresco cooking in the back garden, open the patio doors wide, roll out a cart of refreshments, and fire up the gas grill. Later, when the sun gets low in the sky, grab a blanket and cozy up next to the outdoor kiva fireplace to admire the evening light illuminating the slopes of Taos mountain.

When it's time to head out to see the sights, you'll find this quiet, naturally-landscaped neighborhood is a convenient jumping off point for excursions to the Rio Grande Gorge, Enchanted Circle and Taos Ski Valley, but yet, is still only five miles from Taos Plaza.

The layout of the house was nice with the two room on opposite ends of the house. The beds were very comfortable including the sofa bed in the living room.

But this property is tired. And not as clean as it should be. Dust and cobwebs on the walls. Dank smell under kitchen sink. China is a scratched and chipped. Kitchen not well equipped. Only one set of linen that’s kind of thin from over use. Living room couch could use an upgrade. Stains on couch and all rugsNewspapers used to stuff around windows to stop air leak. Some window shades don’t go up or down.

Wonderful view, but couldn't open the windows
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views were incredible. The house was as described. The only problem was that the screens were all (except for one) ripped or didn't fit properly. Since there is no air conditioning you need to open the windows to let in the cool air and with the air came the wasps, moths, and flies. Plus all windows had dead insects in the window cills. The back yard had a bbq, which is not advertised. That was nice! However, the entire back yard is full of 3 foot tall weeds. You could not walk in the back. The front drive way has weeds growing throug the gravel and is not as pretty as the pictures. The beds were comfortable and the house was free of clutter, which we liked. They had all the kitchen dishes and appliances you would expect. However, the prior visitor left the dishes dirty in the cabinet and we had to wash everything before using anything.

Unfortunately, i do not recommend this property
This is a property with great potentials, unfortunately it is not maintained well. It was dirty. Clumps of dust under furniture and behind doors, windows so uncleaned i asked for Windex to be delivered so that i can clean them. We arrived to see the outside front window pannel shattered. Had to call the property manager to confirm he knew about it. There were pieces of glass on the kitchen floor. We were told it is because of the refrigerator shelf that broke. I asked for a vacuum so i I could clean it. A dirty, barely working machine was delivered... Pros: Beautiful location, within a small community so it makes you feel really safe Kitchen was very well equipped Awesome layout of the house Cons: The house is in a desperate need of thorough cleaning Stained cushions on the sofa Bed was making awful sounds, Window shades not working Poor communication with property manager; we were told the entry code will be sent to us by 3:30pm; we had to call at 4:30 to finally get it. Our comment about cleanliness was absolutely ignored.

Nice house in need of upgrade.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice size house with good layout. Excellent location for skiing and hiking. However the furnishings both inside out doors are worn and tired. And not as clean as they should be. Linen over used and only one set requiring washing before change. Kitchen not well equipped. Did not have water glasses and spoons. All supplied when asked. China scratched and chipped. Floors have a light film of dirt. Walls with cobwebs. Window frames stuffed with newspapers to stop leaks. Most shades do not go up or down or both. Overall the house needs some upgrading by the owners. And finally the invasion of time ants was disturbing. The manager did his best to address the problem. And the numbers abated by the time we left. Sent from my iPhone

Quick weekend getaway
Great location! Patio was perfect for playing card games by the fire. Beds were a little harder than we preferred and pillows not the best. Property was clean! Hot water. Kitchen had everything you could need. Close enough to town and other tourist attractions. We really enjoyed it. Overall, we would come back!

Reviewer Comments: Adequate and minimalist-not comfortable and inviting-clearly a rental only-in need of a significant refresh-some furniture, rugs, kitchen sponges/towels need replacing, some windows won’t stay open with broken latch-Smoke detector not working and wires exposed-hot water issues in bathroom farthest from water heater-Wouldn’t rent again-many better rental properties out there (particularly at this price point)

Dirty, poor maintenance
Hd to wait 30 minutes to check in as Prop Mgr was cleaning (poor job). Property is not well maintained, cobwebs and spiders, old linens, dirty glasses in cupboards. Not a place for children at any age, weeds have taken over yard. Windows filthy and filled with dirt, dead insects. Some would not even open. Would not stay here again if it was free, left 1 day early. No emergency contact info on property, even when requested. Sad and ridiculous for price.

Great getaway
This was a great three day getaway and visit with friends we hadn’t seen during the pandemic. Convenient to Taos and all activities therein. We would all definitely stay there again. The house manager was fantastic. The property was great, clean and well cared for. Thanks you premier property and staff.

Nice, but…
This is a nice home in a good location and we enjoyed our time. I will say the couch is very comfy and the heated floors were a nice bonus. However, the beds were the most uncomfortable we’ve ever experienced. Maybe they’re old? Regardless, just be prepared for flat, very firm beds. We were also looking forward to using the fireplace, but there were just three pieces of wood in the house. Yes they had a firewood stack behind the house but since they’d had a recent snow, this stack was covered in snow and wet so we couldn’t use that wood. We ended up having to buy our own in town to use during our stay. We’ve never stayed at a property that didn’t have a notebook of important things to know about the house. This property didn’t have one, so you have to figure things out on your own as you go. Not a big deal, but an information book for the property would be helpful to give you info on how the floor heating works, that the fans work with a remote control, that you don’t need to buy coffee filters, where the extra firewood is, etc. The views are wonderful and it was a nice getaway.

Great stay but needs a couple things
The house was pretty much as described. Liked the location as far as being quiet and close to ski area. The house needed better cleaning , maintenance and restock of kitchen. The house was petty dusty and had cob webs in the light fixture.a. Maintenance of some things including remotes that don’t have battery covers. Kitchen utensils need a restock especially cubs. There were only three cups and a bunch of wine glasses. We would stay here again and probably will.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We visited Sept. 9-11. The place is adequate...met our needs and the bed was comfortable to sleep in. However, it was 90 degrees out during the day and when we would return to the rental, we were hoping to get relief but was hot. We tried to run fans and open windows but it did not help. I would just make people aware that this is not a good rental if you are visiting Taos in the warmer months.

I'd go back again
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I love Taos, and I loved where Buena Vista was located on El Prado with a wonderful view of Taos mountain. I, also, loved being "out of town," but close enough to everything including town, Arroyo Seco, Rio Grande Bridge, and more. Some things to consider: the couch in the main room has seen better days, the bed in the second bedroom squeaks (a lot), some of the blinds were broken, the alarm clock in the main bedroom didn't work, the outside furniture and pillows could use some updating, and we had to buy a lighter to light a fire. Things we appreciated (aside from the location which I already mentioned) a lot of staples were provided, the property management was excellent (e.g., taking out the trashcans and putting them back, dropping off trash bags when we ran out, taking care of the yard when we arrived, etc.). There were fantastic amenities like a wonderful washer and dryer, dishwasher, and plenty of parking. Question: Why isn't there a garbage disposal. Bottom line: We immediately felt at home. My hope is you will consider these comments constructively because that is how I intended them. I will go back again. Thank you for sharing your place with us.
