Top Cow Lake Hotel Reviews

Alpine Village Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location."

The Blake at Taos Ski Valley

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I spent two nights during the off season (late September) and everything was perfect. Most of the amenities in the ski village itself were already closed, but the resort was quiet, the hot tub was open, the restaurant served us daily, and the setting (nestled in the crest of the mountains) was amazing. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a great stay in a beautiful location. We Loved it."

Plan your Vacation at our Enchanted Condo 1.5 miles from Taos Ski Valley

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at this condo and really enjoyed my time in Taos Ski Valley. The condo was very clean, comfortable, quiet, and well maintained, with beautiful mountain views. The location was great for enjoying Taos Ski Valley as well as visiting Taos, and the cool mountain weather was lovely. Darcie and Rob provided very thorough information for check-in and the stay, and everything was easy and well organized. The condo was a great fit for my needs, and I would definitely recommend staying here. I would happily stay again!"

Cozy riverfront condo 4 miles from ski lifts

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! The condo is perfectly situated between Taos and the ski hill, making it really easy to enjoy both. Being right along the creek made the setting especially peaceful and beautiful.The condo was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and communication with the owner was excellent from start to finish.We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!"

Hot Tub Access: Studio 2 Mi to Taos Ski Resort

8/10 Good

"The place is nice and location is excellent. However sheets were dirty and blinds are a challenge. Hot tub was not clean. Host was responsive and helpful. I feel the sheets were a one off oversight. Otherwise, a great place and value. We would return."

Ridgerunner Cabin - Ski Retreat with Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin is right off the road about a mile before you get to the ski village. It’s peaceful and spacious. You can hear the river running just across the road. The room with the foosball table and two beds is detached from the main house so if you need extra quiet there’s somewhere to go. The property was clean, the hot tub was clean. The main bed is firm which I was very happy to discover."

Large, Comfortable Condo Makes Perfect Basecamp

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great vacation. The condo had everything and more. Very spacious! Our family and a couple friends enjoyed being close to the ski resort where they could ride the gondola right over to the lift. The TV was great to enjoy watching the Super Bowl. Beds were comfortable! We look forward to our next stay in the future. "
