Loft is enclosed and private from downstairs. Loft has full bathroom with separated sink and shower/tub/toilet areas, so one guest can have a private shower while access remains open to sink/prep. The cozy reading nook provides a quiet retreat, with a very comfortable adult-size poof (a modern and firm version of the bean-bag chair). Two full-size lounge chairs and dresser, along with two chairs and a table for small ones complete this perfect play/sleep space for families.

  Spectacular, Convenient and Immaculate!

  Left on 10/15/2012 for a stay in September 2012
  
  

  We stayed here with another family and found it a perfect getaway. The location is amazing, only a 2 minute, level walk to the slopes and about 10 minute walk to base of Taos. It has nice views, natural light, a good layout for families or couples, and it is very beautifully decorated with modern appliances and everything we needed including great kitchen utensils, games for the kids, fireplace, and deck chairs. We liked the fact that there are two private bedrooms (with baths) for the adults and a fun, open loft for the kids. It feels like a mountain cabin but is exceptionally clean and well kept up. We have already made plans to return.
