A most beautiful home away from home

Casa Olufson is undoubtably the most beautiful, tasteful, comfortable VRBO we’ve ever experienced. The host anticipated all of our needs, so cooking meals at home was a dream. The decor reflected the Southwest - and there was always something beautiful to notice over the time we spent there. We would highly recommend this spot to fellow travellers!!

Beautiful location and Beautiful house

This house is as advertised. Spacious, beautiful with multiple outside seating areas and conveniently located to Taos. Just far enough to be out of the hubbub but close enough to easily go there for groceries and fun. We had our entire family there and had plenty of room and had a hard time leaving the house it was so lovely.

Wonderful Christmas Vacation

Beautiful and clean property close to Taos Ski Valley. Kitchen was well stocked which was perfect since we cooked a few meals over Christmas. Everyone said the beds were comfortable and the floor heating was a nice touch. We had plenty of space for our party of 5. Would stay again if we get back to Taos.

Gorgeous Home

The pictures of this house do not do it justice. It’s warm, well decorated, spacious. Perfect for a family with older kids. Everyone had their space. Our dog loved sniffing all around the property. The best is the radiant floor heat. It made the house feel so cozy during the winter. We will definitely stay again!

Beautiful Adobe Home

Loved the house. Amazingly clean and so comfortable. Loved the master bedroom. Was surprised that the bath was farther away than I would have expected, but was okay after I acclimated to not having a bathroom not connected to our room. Kitchen was great even though it was hard to tell how well supplied it was with cooking stuff from the description. Really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful home. Peaceful. Amazing sunset views. Beautiful decor. Spacious! Kitchen is well stocked with beautiful dishes. We cooked everyday and kitchen had everything we needed. Kiva fireplace outside is wonderful and the hot tub was perfect after a day on the slopes. We plan to book again for next year’s ski trip with our family!

Multi-generation ski vacation

Casa Olufsen was a perfect 'home-base' for our Taos vacation. The home's layout was perfect and location relative to Taos and Taos ski valley were very convenient. My sons and I skied Taos 2 days and loved every minute. We celebrated my husband's 70th birthday at Medley. It was wonderful. Everyone had a great time exploring Taos. My 21 month old granddaughter even got to try out her skis at the Casa! We loved the kitchen, the hot tub and the genuine New Mexico 'vibe'! Can't wait to go back!

Exceptional!

Other than problems with gaining access to the home, due to faulty lock box, our stay was a wonderful experience. This was solved promptly by management. Everything about this home was exceptional: the furnishings, artwork, textiles, kitchen, cleanliness of hot tub, etc were by far superior to any rental we have experienced. It was comfortable, relaxing, and has amazing views!

Beautiful casa

This vacation home is absolutely beautiful and well-appointed; our party of 5 adults stayed for 3 nights. The location is out of Taos but not too far; just right for getting away. It's quiet and night and feels very private. The house is gorgeous and comfortable, and was stocked with everything we needed for a great visit. It's odd that that the large master bedroom does not have a private bath but instead has to share with the guest bath on the other side of the house, but there is a smaller master with a private bath. The hot tub was running and ready for us when we arrived, which was a nice touch. Fires are not permitted in the indoor fireplace; only outside on the porch (which looks really nice -- it was too cold while we visited to spend much time outside).

Review This is an absolutely beautiful home! It’s decorated beautifully with every possible amenity from home you can imagine. Kitchen stocked with every appliance and utensil needed. Living room very comfortable with plenty of seating. The best part about our stay were the two patio areas. One had a grill and one with a fireplace/kiva. We looked so forward to the sunset on the patio each night. Beds were super comfortable. Bathrooms very nice. Only thing to note, be aware no AC in the home. We got a bit hot, but for the most part the evenings cooled off enough to make it comfortable with windows open. Also, the larger master has no bathroom and must walk through the kitchen, dining and living room to get to a hallway bathroom that shares with the guest room. The second master has an on suite. All in all we very much enjoyed our stay.

Poor communication but great home

This was was beautiful and comfortable. Bad start though because we weren't told about pushing the padlock in and out after putting in the code so we sat outside the gate for over 2 hours trying to get assistance from VRBO and Vacassa! Upon arrival, we had a completely full garbage container outside and it never was emptied on trash day so we had to take 2 bags of trash with us when we left. Hot tub was one of the main reasons we chose this house, but there were no chemicals and no maintenance ever done in the 6 days we stayed so water level became very low and water had unpleasant odor the last 2 days. The local rep "Josh" promised he would get back to us prior to Monday with a proposal for compensation for our 2 hour inconvenience at the gate on the first day. Here we are leaving Wednesday and have still never heard from him. Not the best vacation stay! Vacassa!

Cozy For Winter

I took my mother, aunt and daughter on a Thanksgiving trip to Taos. We summer here, and it was enjoyabl to see the area with snow. Though the house was well appointed and comforatble, the shower doors in the hall bath were broken and we all had to use one shower in the master. Note that the red room and casita do not have a bathroom and it's a longer walk to get to one. The kitchen had everything we needed for all meals. The home is easy to get to and doesn't require a 4x4 or chains in the snow. It's are minutes from Arroyo Seco for groceries and restaurants (Aceq always being a crowd pleaser). The home did not offer access to the garage, which is different than most homes in the area. We prefer to garage park our cars, especially in bad weather. The home also lacked a snow shovel, so we had to get creative when we received 15 inches overnight. The hot tub was warm and inviting, but the kiva was not available for use. We would stay in this home again, but not with senior family as the trips to the bathroom were too far.

AWESOME house, huge property management company is bad

The house is as amazing as the pictures look - beautiful adobe house with great views and cozy interiors. Kitchen was great and we loved the hot tub at night. Great spot to stay at. However, when we opened the key lock box for the Casita, there was no key in there. No big deal, we reached out to the property management company. We kept getting a “we’ll get back to you” for the entire week we stayed there. I reached out every day or 2 for the whole week and we were never assisted or given the Casita key, so we never got access to the whole Casita. What’s more, a customer service agent said they’d give us a modest refund since we never got access to the room. A week later, after we left, they changed their mind and said they can’t give us any refund. Not getting access to the Casita was a bummer, and it was frustrating to be speaking to a different help agent, none local, each time we reached out. Would’ve been fine to just give us a small refund, as they said they would, but then they would’ve even do that. So all in all, it’s a great spot, but don’t expect any support whatsoever from a large corporation that only cares about extracting profit.
