The property is in a great community that is in close proximity to Arroyo Seco and a short drive to Taos proper. We wanted to be closer to the Taos Ski Valley but not completely isolated in the mountains. The amenities in this condo are incredible. Practically every cooking pan and utensil you can think of is on hand. The record player and record collection was thoughtfully curated for all tastes. Would definitely book this home again in any season.

We had a wonderful time with the family of four during Spring Break. This place is fantastic for its close proximity to the Taos Ski Valley. It is an ideal setup with bathrooms for each room and an additional bathroom connected to the living space and open kitchen. The entire condo was very clean which we value a lot. The kitchen has everything you need if you like to cook meals for breakfast and dinner. We can’t think of anything that was missing. Looking forward to staying here again. The hosts have been very accommodating and super responsive. Thanks a lot!

Loved our stay!

The location to Taos Valley, the Enchanted Loop with the Red River Fishery and Eagles Nest Lake was just perfect from the Magpie’s Nest. The mountain view from the deck was outstanding and so were all the accommodations. The short drive to Taos Plaza and local cuisine was super. Would definitely book again!
