Had a nice visit
The house worked out well for us. We took my brother and wife with us who were visiting us from Ecuador. The charm of Taos was a bit off due to the road construction through town.

A week in Taos
The pics really didn’t do it justice and I rarely get to say that. The house was perfect as a place to explore Taos and the surrounding area. The bed was great and everything we needed was provided. A real bonus was the backyard where we watched blue birds and several other species stop by and it was a great place to enjoy sunsets.

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

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.

Tight, tight, tight!
This place is a gem and the property manager was helpful and responsive. Located on the north end of Taos on the sage-cover plateau, this is a great location if your interests lie in the ski valley or to points north and west of town. The property is freshly remodeled and possibly the cleanest vrbo we’ve rented. It’s well appointed and the back yard is lush and relaxing. There was thought and care in everything about the place from furnishing to the kitchen to games for entertainment.

This home was absolutely perfect for our family. The yard was the best part - space for kids to run around and explore the garden, firepit to relax at in the evening, and beautiful mountain views. Also conveniently located to downtown but nicely secluded for privacy. Highly recommend!

This was my second stay at Casa T. Melissa is wonderful and easy to work with. I had previously stayed when coming to Taos to help my mom with sorting out her finances. A few short weeks later my sister and I needed a place to stay as our mom was in the hospital. I immediately contacted Melissa to help book Casa T as I was having trouble pulling up the dates we were coming. She immediately got back to me and made the process easy especially during an already stressful time. The home is equipped with everything you could possibly need and is in the perfect location for all we needed. Thank you Melissa for another wonderful stay. Until next time!

What a wonderful place to stay. My brother and I were in town visiting our mother and not only was this close to her, we had a wonderful road to walk each morning, a fabulous museum just a few short blocks away, and a lovely house with all the amenities to make our stay enjoyable. Melissa has thought of every detail making the home comfortable and fun for everyone. We look forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the beautiful yard and views.

A beautiful, cozy, COMFORTABLE, fun home perfect for short or extended stays family stays!
We had an amazing 5 day, 4 night stay at this wonderful, carefully thought out home very close to the ski valley! It was also extremely close to town so we could enjoy both Taos and Taos Ski Valley (the best ski mountain in the state by far). We had 2 adults and 3 kids which all had a great time playing pool with a side of karaoke! The living room was large, cozy and comfortable with all the comforts of home! There were extra blankets to snuggle up on the couch, EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE BEDDING and pretty much every comfort of home you'd normally miss. There's even new complementary toiletries just in case you forget something at home! Honestly, as soon as my children walked in, they asked if we could buy the house instead of renting it because they loved it so much. There are also great views of the sunsets from the back porch where we were able to relax and get away from the "house views" of the city. Truly, we had a wonderful experience here and could easily spend short or very long stays here without a second thought! P.S. Thank you for the welcome bottle of wine from a great local winery!!

The rental suited my family perfect for our stay in Taos. The property had a perfect backyard for grilling and relaxing. Plenty of space inside and was quite but close to all the things in Taos. Property owner was quick to respond and help with all of our questions and/or needs. As a frequent user of VRBO, I would recommend a stay at this property.

I’m picky and this was perfect.
This was the perfect Taos stay for our group of 2 couples. I have to be very picky about accommodations as we are seasoned travels with an age range of 60-76 including one with a light disability (must consider stairs, flat surfaces and # of steps) and our El Prada house worked like a charm. With the master bedroom on the main floor and the 2nd bedroom (as well outfitted as the main) on the second floor all considerations were met. We spent evenings watching the sunset colors from the well appointed backyard. Of our 4 nights, we grilled dinner twice and had breakfast at home every day, we had all of the cooking and dining accoutrements we needed. The kitchen, backyard grill and sitting area made our life easy and enjoyable. With the accommodation just minutes from Taos, our stay was perfect. Thank you Melissa, you are a wonderful VRBO host.
