Our home is in a community off of a dead-end short dirt road so you may get some dust on your car. The main road is maintained by the county. There are times, especially after rain or snow, that the road can be very bumpy. We privately maintain our road and driveway and keep it in the best shape possible!

We do have quiet, friendly, year-round neighbors so please be respectful of their space.

A car is necessary in and around Taos and to get to our home. A 4-wheel/all wheel drive vehicle may be necessary to get to the house in the winter if it snows (which can be often!), and is definitely recommended if guests are planning to drive to the ski valley. When it snows, the dirt roads generally have a thin layer of snow on them even after being plowed since they can't be plowed like a paved road.

If this step is overlooked, your reservation may be subject to automatic cancellation as per our house rules.
