We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We picked this place because it is close to Sipapu, which we had ski tickets for. We found much more than just a "nearby location".
Access to the home is convenient. There are gas stations about 10-15 minutes away. The place is secluded yet allows access to the Taos road not too far away.
The home is lovely wood-and-concrete architecture, very new, very well built and eco-friendly (making use of solar power amongst other things). Appliances are all very modern. The house was well stocked. The kitchen overlooks the den while also linking to an everyday breakfast/dining table with great views all around.
One of the things we enjoyed was having many windows (all with blinds but you're so isolated that privacy is not a concern) especially in the master bedroom, where we could just lay down at night and watch the stars around us.
The kitchen had a state-of-the-art oven and fridge, and (yeah, it's the little things) a great and well-seasoned set of ironware which is great for cooking.
There's an "upstairs room" which is accessed through a vertical ladder--it is great for kids, although certain adults may frown on accessibility (not our case, though).
The ambiance is unique to the house and includes the many windows with gorgeous views. Dawn and sunset are not always visible except at certain angles but we did enjoy some pretty outstanding sunsets from the breakfast area.
The decor includes a well stocked library with books on photography, nature/wilderness, off-grid/sustainable living, etc as well as live plants, accents reminiscent of beaches and lots of wood which turns things very cozy. It blends perfectly with the area, incorporating a few woven navajo-type blankets with other decorations that for some reason reminded me of the West coast in a lovely blend of good-taste, modern and rustic. Perhaps took me back to some of the vacation homes I spent time at during much of my childhood.
The house includes puzzles and toys, a large TV, and VERY comfortable beds (the master bed was a dream, which was very welcome after long active days).
The access through the garage door is very convenient in the winter season as it provides a landing spot to remove snow-covered gear/shoes away from the elements before getting inside.
Our hosts helped us out and answered any pesky questions promptly and were very mindful of our needs and trying to make our stay memorable, which they succeeded at.
Thank you Amanda!
