Could be better…
The setting and the views were remarkable. But after that, this place starts to fall short and has some challenges. The water did not work when we arrived and I had to hike down the hill through mud and snow and reset the well controller and another pressure pump. The kitchen is not well equipped with some simple cleaning items like sponge, scrubber, drying rack, more than one dish towel, etc. which made cooking and cleaning for a small family a challenge. There is deferred maintenance and an ongoing roof leak in the living room. I’m not sure it was real clear how remote this house is and the level of treacherous road that needs to be driven. Without the right vehicle and driving experience, you could easily not make it to the property. For all the trouble, and due to my schedule, I requested a late check out (12pm), but was only offered to pay for a late checkout by Vacasa. 10am is too early when renting a whole house, and with no one coming in the same day or the next, I think a late checkout is the least they could have done. The place has some charm and character if you just stay on the surface. But we travel a lot, own rentals of our own, and I would say this place is not up to the standards that I expect from VRBO properties.

Beautiful home with some issues
The location and the house is beautiful. Plenty of amenities and great view of the mountains. However, we experienced some issues that made the experience average: 1. The water pressure was off due to a switch needing to be reset. This was not communicated to us, and Vacasa did not get back to us for a few days since reaching out. During this time, we were not able to take a proper shower or prepare meals. 2. There's a terrible sewer odor by the entryway/seating area outside. Most times it made it impossible to enjoy the sunset by the house. 3. The wifi is extremely spotty and working from this location would be a stretch.

Perched on a mountainside above Taos
Beautiful, unique house way up above Taos. Weather wouldn't let us spend a lot of time sitting outside but a beautiful retreat and great jumping-off point for exploring northern New Mexico.

Stunning sunrises and sunsets!
Property is thoughtfully arranged to provide enjoyment inside as well as outside. The eclectic home has high end appliances, pizza oven yet very few staples. The master bedroom is spacious with nice shower and soaker tub. The view is gorgeous. Road to house is bumpy but very manageable with all wheel drive. There was little snow, just enough for 2 dogs to enjoy on walks. Hated to leave. We had no issues during our stay and recommend the getaway.

A Fall Weekend Away
We loved this property. It is eclectic and cozy. The house gives a family of 4 and 3 large dogs plenty of room. The drive to it is more than we expected but, to that note, the destination was perfect! Our favorite part of the weekend was the secluded and wonderful home. We loved the pizza oven! We did find hot water in the master bath to be an issue and the dual washer/dryer was not drying. Overall, we would absolutely come back again.

Unique House, Beautiful Views - Definitely off the beaten path
We had a great time during our stay. The views were 10/10. Other reviewers mentioned issues with wifi, we didn't have any issues during our visit. Only caveat, the house is about 10 minutes on a dirt road up the mountain. It isn't an easy trek to just pop into town if you forget to buy coffee or milk, so make sure that you plan accordingly. Definitely not somewhere you are going to be able to call an uber, so make sure you have your own vehicle (preferably 4WD). The views were worth it, but definitely remote.
