Great Place, Areas for improvement.

Wonderful outdoor space, cute interior. Rodents in the attic kept us up and only AI reponse. Cleaning missed some things. Be warned, only full size beds. Coffe pot was tiny (2 cups). Recommend more complete kitchenware

Cozy, New Mexican-style home

We loved the layout of the house, the ease of staying there and the very warm, cozy vibe. Was perfect for one couple or two couples.

A Lovely Oasis

Big yard, privacy, convenient location. The home is lovely with all amenities provided (except coffee maker which was due to be replaced. I had my single drip accessories so I was fine.) I would definitely stay there again.

Nice abode in El Prado very near Taos

Great 2 bedroom 2 bath abode within walking distance of parts of Taos. Driveway locking gate protects you and your property from intruders. Great appliances, lots of towels, well stocked kitchen and washer dryer provided. I recommend this property!

Great place for the family

Stayed here with my family for a long weekend and it was great. The weather was perfect so we spent time outside on the deck and let the dogs play in the large yard. Would definitely recommend this place to stay!

Great for your pup!

Loved the house. Really loved the yard. Only issue was loud cars driving by a lot at the busy intersection, the hot water only gets warm and a larger sofa would be nice. Other than that it’s a beautiful place. Perfect for a couple. I would stay here again.

Comfortable and clean

We stayed here while caring for a local friend recovering from a health issue. The property is comfortable and clean. We look forward to staying here again when our focus can be enjoying Taos’ many local attractions, shopping and restaurants. Love the location!

High desert enchanted paradise

Vacationing with family isn’t always easy, especially with a dog, but Casa Serenity made our three day stay fun and relaxing with plenty of room to spread out. Sitting on the deck with a fenced in private yard allowed our dog to romp, run and explore in a safe environment. Although we travel with all the essentials for our dog, it was nice to find dog dishes, balls, bed and bags to use. We made some fabulous meals in the well stocked kitchen and didn’t feel the need to pre-clean before doing so. Close to all things Taos, but out of the city enough to enjoy the quiet.

El Prado house

The house was lovely. There was no air, no ceiling fans or fans. It was quite warm, but the management group brought us fans as soon as I let them know. The house and yard are very nice. The house decorations are lovely.

Great Thanksgiving Stay at Casa Serenity

We loved the location -- quiet and rural but still close to Taos. We (especially our dog) loved the very large fenced yard. We liked the styling of the place -- very much in keeping with the local area, but not overly cluttered or fussy. All the appliances seem brand new and work well. The house was very clean.

Pleased

Enjoyed our stay with minimum problems. One of them being accessed into the house as the code on the lock didn't work. Contacted the property manager and told us were a lot he was but it was empty, so she directed us to the second lock key box where we was able to get a key and get in and out however, access into the house and locking when we left is extremely hard maybe just some oil or maybe some somebody should address changing the door lock by the key. Also the shower in the bathroom with the large tub the shower . Very peaceful Serene and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Was not clean and a nightmare to cancel

We booked this Vrbo for a bereavement trip. When we arrived, it had clearly not been cleaned after the last guests. The beds had been slept in, dirty towels were in the tub, and crusty rags were in the sink. We called the contact number on our reservation (Vacasa) and they told us to text pictures of what we'd found to a local number. We did. 2 hours later we called the contact number again and they had no record of our first call. So we file another ticket with them. At this point, it's 7pm and we're wondering if we need to just find a hotel. Finally, a third hour later, we get a call from the local Vacasa guy saying he can't find anyone to come out tonight and clean the place, but can probably find someone the next morning. Meanwhile, we have no place to sleep that night and no solutions or refunds are offered for placing us somewhere else. We asked to just cancel and refund our entire reservation so we could find a local hotel since it was now 8pm. We were assured that was fine and the refund would be started ASAP. Throughout our entire trip I kept getting texts and emails about our stay. Clearly, it had never been cancelled. So on our last day, we called again and re-explained the situation (for the 3rd time) and were told that nothing of that sort was attached to our reservation, but that it would be started ASAP. 3 weeks later, we just disputed the charge as it was never refunded. We will never use Vacasa again.
