A very beautiful location and house

A great place to stay, the architecture and foliage amazing. As a fan of Eastern philosophy and aesthetics, the decor was welcoming and peaceful. We will be back!

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

Stayed 1 week as a party of 4 people and 1 dog. This is a fabulous spot, great views of the mountains, can walk to extensive hiking trails just up the road, with the Ski Valley being a short 15 minute drive. The house is spacious and lovely, with large sitting areas outside that are protected from sun and rain. Ron is a wonderfully attentive and responsive host. We have been here several times, and it has always been the nicest vacation rental experience we have had in the Taos area.

nice large home but....

While the home is overall nice, my main issue was that the post says there is AC. I specifically messaged the host to confirm and he said, yes, central AC. There is no AC of any kind whatsoever. There was no instruction on how to gain entry to the home. We arrived very late at night and I was slightly panicked that we wouldn't be able to get in I was able to call him and he said the door was just open. There was no communication beforehand about that. There was dust all over the surfaces, but the windows were open, and I guess Taos is just dusty? The yard is very nice and was great for our dog. But we found a butcher knife and a paring knife lying on the ground outside the master window. There were good things. The bed is comfortable, the house is private. It could have been nice excewpt for the unfortunate downsides and the lie about the AC. That pretty much started us out with a very negative attitute. When I tried to ask about the AC on the 1st day of our stay - he never responded.

Mountain Magic

Gorgeous views from this secluded getaway in the mountains north of Taos! Awesome property close to Taos city center, artsy community of Arroyo Seco andTaos Ski Valley. Our 6 person family group cooked gourmet dinners in the beautiful, well equipped kitchen— what a delightful surprise! Windsor Castle was our home away from home for a week and we loved every minute of our time there❣️ Thanks for your hospitality, Ron!!

Pictures don’t do it justice

Such a fun house! We were so pleasantly surprised at how amazing it was. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s clean, it’s bright and refreshing inside. The hot tub is amazing and huge. The kitchen is VERY well stocked. Plenty of bath towels and hot tub towels to go around. Shower in the steam shower or bathe in a tub with a view! Ron is a SUPERHOST, and was available whenever we needed him. Contact him directly and he will get back with you!! Thank you so much Ron for your awesome home and always being available for us. We will recommend this place a thousand times over! We definitely recommend Windsor Castle!

Beautiful, inspiring

My family of 6 had a loveky time here. 4 bedrooms (one small) in a well equipped kitchen and jsimpky beautiful surroundings, inside and out. The view is gorgeous and I-honestly felt might self lucky to have a whole day at the house with our toddler while the rest of my family skiied. The indoor greenhouses were magic; those and the decor were so beautiful and comforting, my husband and I are already thinking of trying to come back. Thank you Ron!

I do not recommend this property

My family stayed here for our annual ski week and I will never be back, nor recommend this property to anyone. First off, getting to this property in the winter is dangerous. It's like going up and down back alley hills that are muddy and covered with ice and snow. Our son's van could not make it, and two of our front wheel drives barely made it. Only the AWD made it ok. Second the house has been decorated and is being maintained by a guy who shops at garage sales. It is a mess. Things don't work like lights missing bulbs, bulbs out, TV doesn't work, thermostats not functional, etc. many more things. For the price I paid for this place it was a total disappointment. There is a ceiling fan that does not work and has a plant tied to it with yarn. Total wreck. There is also an interior garden which makes the place smell like wet potting soil. And there is a live frog living in there that would make noise at night. Third, the kitchen is so poorly stocked and supplied. Not even a cookie sheet in there. There were very few basic staple. If you ignore this review, you better bring everything you want in the kitchen. Forth, the owner was absolutely unresponsive. I send him VRBO messages and left voicemails and never received one response. He showed up at the house when our first car arrived and never communicated again. The views from this house are amazing, but that's about it. I can't say it enough, find another property this one is not worth it. You've been warned.

Nice, yet disappointing…

The home was nice with some unique features, but there was no air conditioning, which was claimed in the property listing. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms would help on really warm days. Unfortunately, the freezer did not freeze, so our frozen items thawed out. The view of the home was very nice, but the yard was overgrown and not tended well. We did enjoy the quiet, seclusion of the house. The hot tub was very nice, and well maintained.

Taos Ski Trip

Fantastic house with great views and fully stocked. We really appreciated the location from the ski valley. About 15 minutes and below the snow line. With COVID we cooked all meals at the house and enjoyed the premium kitchen facilities. Ron was easy to work with and was welcoming of our very big dog.
