Cozy Condo for 6 with wooded back patio & grill. 1 mile to town square.

10/10 Excellent
"Our family of 5 enjoyed staying at the Cozy Condo and appreciated the New Mexico style. We had enough space for everyone to sleep comfortably but do wish we could have had a couple more seats at the dining table. We used the kitchen to prepare a couple meals and found it well stocked. The backyard area was a nice way to spend some down time outside and we did see some elk and deer out the back during our stay. When we visited it got quite windy and cold outside but the heaters were sufficient to keep us warm. Some areas could have used a good dusting but overall we all enjoyed the space and charm of the condo and would stay there again."
