Property required checking in at the base of the ski hill, and then turning back to actual room. Young woman at desk was kind and apologetic though. After returning down the highway to the actual location, got into room which smelled funny - like vape and BO (yes the sheets did too). Lights switches did not work and the side window didn't have a screen. The front, highway facing window had a screen, but who wants to hear highway traffic all night. That night the large trucks driving up and down the highway were loud and kept us awake all night. NO SLEEP due to noise, road and strange pops and creeks from the building itself. Also, there are no gas stations, restaurants (had to go back to the lifts to find 1 restaurant), grocery stores, within 20 miles. If you bring a pet - there is no place they can go that is safe as the room was directly off the highway. I left by 6 AM simply to get away to my next destination. If you are looking for a party room after drinking all day on the slopes - its for you. If you want a nice place to sleep and relax - find another.

We stayed in cottage D, everything was good. I have never seen this in any hotel I've ever stayed at, there was a black wash cloth n on it was a little strip where it said makeup! This is brilliant. Every place shld do this. No stains on a white cloth. Way to go Alpine village. Loved it here. Plenty of towels.

Nice room yet logistical nightmare.
The room itself was great. Rustic and exactly what I wanted. Good bed, reasonably well equipped kitchen, clean bathroom and a couch. Room could have used a regular height chair of some kind. The afternoon after my arrival, the WIFI pass code was changed. I had to drive to remote office location to get updated pass code. Inconvenient. Hotels.com website misrepresented the amenities. Showed a picture of a jacuzzi spa which is NOT included or available on this property. Caused confusion and conflict with Alpine Village management office. I checked out one day early due to inconveniences and road construction noise and delays. I expect a refund for my third unused night under these circumstances. Nice room yet a logistical nightmare.

The check in was so irritating! It’s not at the place you’re staying at. It’s 2 miles up the road and hard to find! Hot tub was cold!

Stayed 2 nights and there was severe construction noise across the street starting at 7am, second day was quiet. Shower needs another glass panel in back to keep water off the floor, and the kitchen seating is too tall for comfort at the counter. Front window is great for light, but needs a privacy curtain that allows light to transmit. Aside from these annoyances, the rest of the experience was very good. Check in instructions were never sent, and it has to be done at their slopeside sister location, not on site.

I stayed at the Cottage Lodge for 2 nights during a recent skiing trip to Taos. I arrived at the lodge, but there was no office. The cleaning crew told me to head up the road to the Alpine office 1.5 miles away. I did and could not find it. I returned and followed the cleaning crew to the office in Taos Ski Valley. I checked in without difficulty. The Cottam Lodge is separate from main hotel and there are no services. There were several nice features. I was able to store my skis at the main hotel and put my boots on there, leaving my shoes with the desk. The room at the Cottage Lodge was adequate. Fully equipped kitchen, bathroom recently remodeled with nice shower and a comfortable bed. Room was a mixture of 1970-80 decor with some more modern updates. Functional for a couple. There was snow during my visit and climbing up and down the unshoveled steps with suitcases was somewhat challenging. Parking is immediately in front. There is a hot tub that I did not use. One other item: the Cottam Lodge is almost at 9000 feet. If you are coming from sea level, you might consider staying at a lower altitude (perhaps in Taos) as sleeping at that altitude was challenging. All in all a reasonable stay at a reasonable price with great snow conditions at Taos.
