Momentitos - Peaceful and close to Arroyo Seco

This 2400 square foot home is beautifully constructed, a pumice home built in adobe style by a local real estate agent for his personal use. The home owner now purchased Momentitos from this real estate agent. The inside has many extra nice and high quality features. Views towards the mountains from the kitchen, master bedroom and the east facing patio are stunning. The open living room, kitchen and dining area makes for a great gathering place.
Momentitos is pet friendly. The Latilla and Adobe wall fences completely surround the home protecting the patio from the wind and giving the home a very secluded feeling.
The master bedroom is large with a king bed and a fireplace. The bathroom has tub and shower with double soap stone sinks. The walk in closet has built in drawers.

The other two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the living area. There is a queen bed in one and the third bedroom has two twins that can be made into a very comfortable king. A small computer desk is placed in this room if you need to do some work. A day bed sits next to a wall in the living area for an extra bed if needed.

The kitchen is well equipped and easy to use. The home owner visits quite often and enjoys cooking. The home has very thing you need for a comfortable and great vacation. Just bring your clothes and groceries.

Momentitos is 13 miles from the Taos Ski Valley and about six miles from the center of Taos, just two miles from the artisan village of Arroyo Seco with a natural food market, cafes, restaurants, and authentic New Mexico retail and art galleries.

Great Views & Spacious
Stayed here for a ski trip in early Feb. The snow was great and this house was a great spot for easy access to the mountain as well as Arroyo Seco and Taos. House was clean and spacious with a great outdoor area that would be nice in the summer.

Momentitos
We very much enjoyed our stay at Momentitos. The property is well kept and the house is comfortable and laid out well with the master bedroom on one side of the house and the other two bedrooms on the other side. The property manager, Wendy, reached out with very good directions to the property as well as giving contact information in case of any issues. Given the clear professionalism of the manger, coupled with a comfortable well maintained property, I would certainly rent this house again.

Family ski trip
This property did not disappoint. It was spacious and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable. It was within a 30 minute drive to Taos Ski Valley. The back yard was absolutely lovely. The views were amazing. We ate breakfast at the table outside and enjoyed coffee from the overlook. The hot tub was wonderful after a day of skiing. The property manger was very easy to reach. We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to stay here again.

Lovely property w/ gorgeous view
Stayed here with our family to get a break from the summer heat and enjoy some hiking in the mountains. The house is comfortable and filled with colorful art. We really enjoyed the views of the mountains from inside the house and from the beautifully landscaped back yard. One of the best VRBOs we've rented. Would definitely stay again.

Momentitos is the most comfortable place we have stayed in many years of visiting Taos
Beautiful house, very comfortably appointed, with bedroom and bath suites coming off a very large central wing with living room kitchen and dining area. Wonderful location between Taos and TSV, just perfect for a ski vacation. It was so nice to be able to walk into a spacious house after skiing, put our gear down, walk across the heated floors, and jump in the hot tub!

Great place to stay with beautiful view of the mountains
The house was exactly as described. We had a wonderful stay with family. House was very comfortable for the six of us. The location was perfect as it was between the ski valley and town. We hiked during the day and went to Taos for dinner at night. Then, we enjoyed the hot tub and gazing at the stars.
