This 2400 square foot home is beautifully constructed, a pumice home built in adobe style by a local real estate agent for his personal use. The home owner now purchased Momentitos from this real estate agent. The inside has many extra nice and high quality features. Views towards the mountains from the kitchen, master bedroom and the east facing patio are stunning. The open living room, kitchen and dining area makes for a great gathering place. Momentitos is pet friendly. The Latilla and Adobe wall fences completely surround the home protecting the patio from the wind and giving the home a very secluded feeling. The master bedroom is large with a king bed and a fireplace. The bathroom has tub and shower with double soap stone sinks. The walk in closet has built in drawers.
The other two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the living area. There is a queen bed in one and the third bedroom has two twins that can be made into a very comfortable king. A small computer desk is placed in this room if you need to do some work. A day bed sits next to a wall in the living area for an extra bed if needed.
The kitchen is well equipped and easy to use. The home owner visits quite often and enjoys cooking. The home has very thing you need for a comfortable and great vacation. Just bring your clothes and groceries.
Momentitos is 13 miles from the Taos Ski Valley and about six miles from the center of Taos, just two miles from the artisan village of Arroyo Seco with a natural food market, cafes, restaurants, and authentic New Mexico retail and art galleries.

Not awful but not amazing
It was tidy on the surface but that was about it. The kitchen was underwhelming and very poorly stocked, being able to cook there was a bust. No seasonings as simple as salt, no foil, etc. The dishwasher was disgusting, I’m not sure the filter had ever been cleaned and smelt horrible. I cleaned it for about 30 minutes. I had to call the property manager twice to get dishwasher pods and anything to clean the countertops with. I couldn’t find one towel that wasn’t soured. The clothes washer smelt horrible while it was running. The overall space for our family was great but that was about it.
Perfect location, a few minutes outside of Taos and less than 30 minutes to Taos Ski Valley. Property was great and had everything we were looking for. Excellent scenic views from the backyard as well.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Momentitos. The property is well kept and the house is comfortable and laid out well with the master bedroom on one side of the house and the other two bedrooms on the other side. The property manager, Wendy, reached out with very good directions to the property as well as giving contact information in case of any issues. Given the clear professionalism of the manger, coupled with a comfortable well maintained property, I would certainly rent this house again.
The property is ideally located between Taos and Taos Ski Valley and away from the traffic and busyness of both. All the comforts of home are available and the host is easy to work with. Great rental property for families!
This property did not disappoint. It was spacious and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable. It was within a 30 minute drive to Taos Ski Valley. The back yard was absolutely lovely. The views were amazing. We ate breakfast at the table outside and enjoyed coffee from the overlook. The hot tub was wonderful after a day of skiing. The property manger was very easy to reach. We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to stay here again.
This home is conveniently located between TSV and town. Wendy made it very easy to communicate check in. The fridge wasn’t working and she was able to get it fixed promptly. Sunsets from the hot tub were beautiful!
Stayed here for a ski trip in early Feb. The snow was great and this house was a great spot for easy access to the mountain as well as Arroyo Seco and Taos. House was clean and spacious with a great outdoor area that would be nice in the summer.
Great open concept house with beautiful views of the mountains! Lovely woodwork and beams in the living area! Nice artwork! Master bedroom mattress needs an upgrade. Would have appreciated a full propane tank to grill. Otherwise, really great house in the Taos area!
The property was exactly as listed. The home was perfect for our group of 6. My sister, our husband's and our 13 year old boys. Everyone had more than enough room to be together and separate for a week. The backyard was very nice and unless you were standing on the small deck with the blue chairs you didn't even know there was a road behind the home. We really enjoyed the deck, looking out at the mountains. The hot tub was very nice after a day of skiing. My search for the perfect Toas home away from home is complete.
Beautiful house. The property is very nice with great views. The inside is a nice southwest build with high, red cedar-ceilings and heated tile floor. You’re about 20-30min from the parking lot of Taos ski valley but the drive is easy and minimal traffic.
We had a wonderful time at this property. The location was perfect, 10 minutes from downtown Taos and 25 minutes from Taos ski valley. We brought our dogs and the nice fenced in yard kept them safe. We all enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. The floor heating kept the house at a consistent comfortable temperature. Compared to other houses we stayed at through VRBO this house was very well stocked. Enough toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish detergent, spices, coffee you name it. Wendy made us feel welcome by turning the lights on before we got there so we didn’t arrive in a dark house. All together we were all very impressed and I would highly recommend this place to anybody.
Wonderful comfortable home. The views were incredible during the day and at night the sky was full of stars. Well stocked kitchen and nice appliances. Beds were comfortable and shower worked great. We were 20 min from Taos Ski Valley and 15 minutes from Taos. Hot tub was great after skiing all day. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice relaxing vacation home.
We came to New Mexico for the Balloon Fiesta and decided to stay in Taos. The drive was so beautiful and the house was perfect, just like the pictures. The hot tub and yard maintenance was awesome. Wendy was so wonderful at communicating, she was on top of everything (we came in late and she had lights on and responded to our late txt right away) The town is very cute and had a lot of restaurants to choose from. It was a great vacation!
Such a cool xeroscape yard, hot tub, open layout with incredible views! Wendy was extremely responsive being that we had to check in early for our infant son. 10/10 would recommend!
We loved our stay and wished we were still there. The house was perfect for our family and our dog! Loved everything about it. The hot tub was big enough to accommodate all 4 of us comfortably and the views were beautiful. Thank you!
Our stay here was amazing. We had a group along with some dogs and the yard was perfect for them. The hot tub was amazing and the house had everything that we needed to be comfortable.
We booked the property for a month while we teleworked and homeschooled. With kids, grandparents, and dogs, we were all very comfortable! The hot tub was delightful for stargazing at night, and the mountain view was breathtaking throughout the day. We used the property as a base camp as we visited national parks and hiked the mountains around the Northeastern part of the state. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the proximity to Taos, where we had easy access to grocery stores and restaurants. We were not successful in using the indoor chimneys, but we did enjoy the outdoor firepit. Would suggest upgrading the pillows, but otherwise we had a well-appointed kitchen and convenient laundry. There are a few board games, DVDs, and books for leisure reading onsite, although we were generally so busy we didn't have much need of them. The WiFi was good enough for streaming and teleconferencing. The property manager, Wendy, was so friendly and helpful, we felt very much at home during our stay.
