Perfect Location
We stayed here for a quick getaway to ski and explore the Taos area. The location, house, etc was perfect for what we were looking for. House was in great shape, had a nice backyard, fun game room, open floor plan, and the bedrooms were extremely comfortable. Our host Melissa was responsive and helpful… We will definitely be back.

Great place “off the beaten path”
Great location, quiet and close to the ski valley and town. Home is equipped with all the necessities for a nice stay. The beds and bedding are very good quality and very comfortable. The layout of the home works well for 6 ppl with plenty of room for everyone to have space to relax. If we come back to Taos to ski we will stay here again. Warm and cozy. If bringing food to cook don't forget oil or butter. lol

Vacation to Taos
Wonderful home. Great location. The house is close enough to get to town and restaurants quickly, but far enough away from hustle and bustle of town. Very clean, wonderful yard with beautiful views!

Very beautiful and cozy house for family out
The house is clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. It is not far from Taos and is located in a quite place where you can enjoy magnificent sunset from the back yard and moon rise from front yard. Backyard is full of plants and you can expect lovely visitors like birds and rabbits. A very pleasant stay!

House was adorable and extremely clean. Pretty much out in the country but just a very short drive to everything. The only issue as mentioned in previous reviews is that the house is listed as air conditioned but it was not. There were plenty of fans which kept us comfortable in the 85 degree weather. We had a great stay! House is very well equipped .

A welcome respite from the Texas heat
We were looking for a break from the constant Texas heat so we headed to New Mexico. It was hot in Taos but we put the fans and portable air conditioners to work and it was doable. The property was clean and very quiet, and the bed and pillows were very comfy. We saw a coyote near the house the evening we arrived, and enjoyed watching the sunsets from the beautiful back yard. Don't miss Taos Cow ice cream if you visit.

A Taos Gem
We could not have been more pleased with Casa Turquesa. While there was plenty of charm, the house was tastefully updated with all modern conveniences and stocked with everything you could possibly need. Cleanliness was 10/10. Beds were comfortable, towels were fluffy, linens were lovely, and appliances were all new and a pleasure to use. The backyard was beautifully landscaped with some beautiful views, a grill and a easy to use fire pit. We especially enjoyed the lower level pool table room at night. The location in El Prado was perfect for us--easy access to the golf course, downtown and the area's best restaurants. While it was not at all a problem for us, the house is not in any kind of neighborhood; it sits alone next to a landscaping stone business with some unsightly piles However, there was not much activity and it was not noisy, so we did not find it an issue. There are houses down the road but it is relatively isolated on that part of the road. We were there during a particularly hot 2 weeks and while we were expecting portable air conditioners based on the listing, the tower fans kept us comfortable, especially at night with the outside cooler air. Communication with the owners was outstanding and we appreciated the bottle of wine and the welcome note. We would not hesitate to return to this comfortable, charming and welcoming home on our next Taos visit.

Not exactly as advertised
The owners were responsive and many aspects of the house were great, but check-in was not until 6:30 instead of 4PM until we complained, so got in around 5:30). Owner gave excuse that VRBO was supposed to give them 24 hours between guests. Also WiFi and smart TVs are listed but since max speed is 3mbps, this is rather deceptive since no show can be streamed at that speed. This also means that your devices will not have effective WiFi either. It also listed it as air conditioned, but I didn't see the fine print that they only have 3 portable tower units which wasn't enough to keep it comfortable in July when the temperature was 88 degrees all four days we were there. The drapes are thin and don't help much when kept closed to keep the west sun out in the afternoon. I picked this house because it was away from the hubub of Taos so we could get caught up on sleep. There are no houses around, but there is a dump next door and someone was using it at 7:30AM and then ran their gas powered leaf blower to clean out the bed of the truck. We had all the windows open to keep the house cool enough to sleep, so no sleeping in that AM. The bedding, bath and laundry items were definitely 5 stars.
