Stay at Pot Creek

Booked this property and it was a prime location for everything, close to the mountains and rivers and at the same time only a few miles to town and great eating places. The host was quick to respond to questions.

Mountain getaway

This cabin is hidden away and perfect for a secluded getaway. Not being from the area we had to get used to the minerals in the water, but otherwise its close to Taos and lots of things to do. We had three generations there and everyone was satisfied.

Great Cabin

We came to ski Sipapu and it was a perfect cabin with lots of natural light. We enjoyed the stay! Everything was so cute and easy to use! Make sure you take down entry code and internet password before you get there, as there is no cell service at the cabin!
