Nice cabin. We had problems with internet connection and some lights didn’t work in the upstairs bedroom. Also no soap or shampoo in the downstairs bathroom. No worries really. We’d definitely return.

We loved this little cabin in the woods south of Taos. We stayed almost a month, and are planning to do it again. It is perfect for two, but can also accommodate a family. We particularly enjoyed the two decks, being in the trees, and fly fishing in the adjacent creek (the Rio Grande de Ranchos). While in a small community of houses with friendly neighbors, it is at the end of the road and affords lots of privacy. It was super clean and the host is very responsive.

Generally lovely cabin, a few issues

We stayed for three nights in late July with another family. Check-in was smooth, the cabin was clean, the stars at night were amazing, and the kids loved wading in the creek.Unfortunately, we found significant water damage leading down to the basement—wet drywall, blistered peeling paint, and visible mold, which were messaged the host about the first evening. The basement smelled and felt damp. Ventilation was also tricky. Only one door had a screen and one window was missing a screen, so we couldn’t open enough windows/doors to cool off the place without bugs coming in. The upstairs AC unit could not be felt on the main floor.On checkout morning, the host asked us to leave by 10:00 instead of the 11:00 listed, due to a same-day booking. We’ve never experienced that before. This property has potential, especially in cooler months and when the basement was not needed. With some maintenance and better follow-through, it could be a great stay.

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.

Trees, trees everywhere!

If you want to have trees all around, then this is the place. And how can you not love the big windows with that amazing view? It’s not that far of a drive to Taos. My husband and I enjoyed being able to come back to the same place every evening for four nights. We used the grill which worked perfectly. Everything was clean, except I would recommend repairing the accordion doors between the main floor bedroom and living room. We loved our stay here!

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.

Sweet Cabin in the Woods

This little place is definitely off the beaten path, which is what we were looking for. We enjoyed cooking fish we caught and grilling steaks over a campfire. The kitchen is well-appointed and living area is comfortable. The beds and bathrooms are a bit more rustic than where we usually stay, but it was still comfortable. And Brooke was very responsive.

Great house near Taos

We had a wonderful stay at this home just outside of Taos! The location was perfect—only about 12 minutes from town, making it easy to explore restaurants, shops, and local attractions. It also provided great access to Taos Ski Valley, Sipapu, and Angel Fire, which was a huge plus for our trip.The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The setting was peaceful and scenic, giving us a true getaway feel while still being close to all the action. The host was responsive and made the whole experience seamless.Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great stay near Taos!

Stunning views, amazing rest

Our cabin boasted scenic views with large windows. Our internet connection was surprisingly strong despite our remote location. Beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed close proximity to Walmart, and equal distance from Sipapu ski resort and Taos ski valley. The cabin was perfect for our family. Age range of kids 3 to 15. We would love to stay there again!

Scenic cabin in the woods

Just what I was looking for. Secluded home at the end of the road. With beautiful Mountain views. Very peaceful and tranquil. No king size beds, but sleeps five adults comfortably. If you’re looking for peace and quiet and beautiful views, this is where to stay. I will definitely be back.
