Very nice, secluded home
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa in the Canyon. The roads are not the best, but we made it fine in a suburban. We enjoyed the privacy and the host was very helpful. He responded every time we called and his wife even came out to get the internet working late one afternoon. They were both so helpful and really nice people. The views of the mountains are beautiful and it's only a short drive to Taos and surrounding areas. We would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to visit the Taos area.

Family Vacation
Beautiful Home-well stocked-balcony a fav. Prompt responses with host. Nice hottub! Areas of improvement-we arrived at check in time with no service. We did not receive ck in & WiFi codes or directions for better road prior to ck in time. Host did send at CK in time but we had no service until connected to their wifi. Thankfully guests next door assisted to get in contact with our host. Yard overgrown with weeds. Fire pit had stuff piled on it so no s'mores. Hot water heater was on vacation & we figured that out day 3 (didn't want to bother host at late hrs). Overall Fantastic Large/Roomy with BEAUTIFUL interior & we didn't have to do linens or trash at CK out!! Great Hosts!
