We use vacation rentals often, and I can say that this is one of the top places to note. It is a new, clean, lovely New Mexican style home with everything one needs, yet without clutter, which we appreciate. What makes it stand out for us is the gorgeous views, heavenly sagebrush smell, quiet, and privacy. All of this is nearby busy bustling Taos, but also away from busy bustling Taos. The owner, James, was easy to communicate with by text and lives on the acreage. He built the home himself and it is very solid and professionally finished. We stayed 3 nights in late August, and it would also be lovely with snow on the sagebrush in winter. We were very pleased!
