Nice Girls weekend spot

My friends and I came down from Denver for the weekend and had a great time. The location is just out of town and an easy drive - great restaurants nearby - lots of amenities on site and nearby. The fridge and kitchen is stocked with basics like condiments, coffee and tea, spices, and extras like butter and stuff. The bathrooms have lots of stuff you might need if you forget anything. Lots of books and some movies as well. Only downside is there isn't a smart TV, just DirectTV. Comfy beds and lots of linens. Overall we were very happy staying here. The hot tub is a trek and you'll need to drive to it in the winter.

Final ski trip - 2021

We almost cancelled this ski trip since there was no snow, but I’m so thankful we didn’t. We loved the house. It was incredible roomy and the location between the ski valley and the town was fantastic. The views from the master bedroom were phenomenal, and one morning we were graced with a herd of quail eating birdseed outside the den window. The house was incredibly roomy, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the beds were quite comfortable. The only thing that could make this house even better is a private hot tub or large tub in the master, but that’s just my general preference. I would love to stay in this home again, during any season.

Peaceful Retreat

We truly enjoyed our stay in Monica’s casita at Quail Ridge. The check in process was easy. The owner was very quick and easy to communicate with and the casita was very clean and comfortable. The resort location is really special, about 10 minutes outside of town, in a grove of mature trees surrounded by amazing views. The casita was perfect for the three of us ladies to each have our own room with plenty of space. The living space is very comfortable and nicely furnished, open to the kitchen which is well stocked with kitchenware, pantry basics and appliances. The finishes are all very nice as well, like nice heavy blackout curtains and blinds, plenty of towels, etc. But, our favorite spot was out on the low walled patio with comfortable seating where you can drink your coffee and listen to the birds in the trees and take in the views. We enjoyed eating dinner on the patio several times as well. We look forward to returning!

Great place to relax

This is an beautiful property that is well maintained and beautifully furnished. It is clear the owner takes great pride in offering a lodging place that is restful, comfortable and has all the comforts/necessities of Home. I would suggest improving the directions to the property to say hwy 150 is past (north) of the El Prado city limits at the intersection of the airport. It would have made finding the place much easier. Also directions could be sent earlier considering that being in the mountains brings with it very restricted or no internet/cell coverage. We will definitely return to this property and recommend it to our friends.

Excellent Location

Well maintained home didn't want for anything, clean well supplied in the kitchen and bathrooms. Plenty of room to be very comfortable,. Perfect location to head out and see the sights around the area from Santa Fe to Chama and minutes from Taos Town Center. If I had to see some improvement in this property it would be the road to the house from the Highway a little rough but even that couldn't take away from how comfortable this home was for the four of us.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Carson

Host profile image
We are two sisters who grew up in western Kansas and spent many family vacations in northern New Mexico. Our parents often used Taos and nearby Red River as home base for exploring the area and it is still a place we return to as often as possible. Our parents were also fans of having a drink at the Taos Inn and visiting the Ski Valley in all seasons. We have been pleased to own property here and are happy to share our home with other guests, be they new to the Taos experience or those who already love Taos and all things Southwest.

Why they chose this property

We chose the Quail Ridge area because of it's proximity to both town and the Taos Ski Valley. It is wonderful to be close to all yet away from the hustle and bustle of town. We love the open layout of the common area in this home, the beautiful views from the grounds and outside space and the added benefit of using the facilities at Taos Tennis at Quail Ridge.
