This house was perfect for our group of girls - lots of space for us to rest, hang out, play games, watch movies, and hang in the hot tub. Easy drive to Taos for shopping and eating. House had everything we needed. They must have had a power surge recently because a lot of light bulbs were out but I texted the property manager and they were there with new ones right away. Lots of parking. Quiet neighborhood. Would love to stay here again!

This was a family ski vacation with 12 people. The house set up was perfect as far as bedrooms go. Everyone had a room, although if you have a lot of single people the futon was a little tight. The house was very clean and well appointed. The grounds were very nice. If we go back to Taos again we will certainly rent this again.

Excellent location - a few minutes from Arroyo Seco and 20 minutes to the ski area. The house was perfect for a group of 8. We appreciated the how well stocked the kitchen was with silverware and cooking utensils and a professional Wolf oven. The house is quiet and great for star gazing. The hot tub and grill were well maintained.Communication with the host was professional, prompt, and friendly.A few tips:You absolutely MUST have a dinner at ACEQ - book a reservation if you have a big group. The Sol organic market in Aseq has a nice selection of meat and organic vegetables if you plan on making your own meals.Our favorite runs were the right side of Main Street and the Hunziker Bowl. The bowl is protected from the wind, had very few people and held a lot of fresh snow.Book the place for your trip to Taos - you’ll be happy.

Reviewer Comments:
The location, size of the home, the hot tub, and outdoor grill were all great. The mattresses and bedding (stained) were in need of replacement in three of four rooms. The kitchen faucet required a screw driver to turn it off once it was on and the master bath did not have enough water pressure to shower (only a trickle at best) - super inconvenient. The master bedroom had a door to a lovely little private porch but the lock had been removed and there was physically a hole to the outside in the door when it was closed.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Luminosa. The location is handy to Taos & Taos Ski Area, and to the delightful town of Arroyo Seco. The house is open and functional with a great kitchen & patio with hot tub. The caretaker was helpful and attentive to our needs. The living room furnishings need replacement. Note: the house is not air conditioned.

After driving 12 hours with kids, it was so nice to find the lights on and a clean home to relax in. We used the hot tub right off!With 6 adults and 6 children, we made use of every bed, towel and pot and pan! The location was great as we skied at Angel Fire and snowmobiled at Taos. It was pricey due to it being spring break, not the advertised price. We would definitely when the rates are normal.

located in a subdivision just outside Arroyo Secco, Casa Luminoso sits among sparsely treed lots populated by similar large adobe style homes. The openness of the lots allows for beautiful views in all directions, especially to the west where mountains loom.Inside, the home is fully furnished and has more than enough amenities for a full house. The hot tub fits 4 comfortably and was well maintained.The staff were extremely friendly and helpful in every encounter.

We have stayed here several times as the house (with the casita included) is large enough for our family gathering. We were very pleased with the management company and caretaker. The location is great as it is halfway between the city of Taos and the Taos ski area.

We stayed in both the house and the guest house. We had 15 people and were thrilled with the house. We only used the guest house to sleep and to use the oven....otherwise all 15 of us were in the main house. It's a beautiful, well maintained house and has many amenities - great cooking utensils/pans, lots of dishes and glasses,even spices, flour, sugar, etc. Caretaker was great!

We had 6 adults and 4 young children together for a family vacation. The house in Taos was a perfect place to accommodate multiple families with kids of different ages. We were pleasantly surprised when walking through the front door - the home exceeded our expectations - much more beautiful than the pictures reflect. One thing to note - there were no air conditioners or fans. We depended on the cool night breeze for relief from the mid day desert heat.

Casa Luminosa was the perfect location for our Taos Ski trip. Close to the slopes but outside the Valley, it was much more affordable than a Chalet and was capable of comfort and privacy for 8 of us. George, the caretaker, was very helpful and the property company even helped us get our ski rental organized. It was so relaxing to have beers in the hot tub and watch the sunset.
