Our family of 2 adults and 5 kids loved staying at Shady Nook Mesa. The house was great and the kids loved the hot tub and all the board games at the house. It's close eough to the north end of Taos to be an easy drive into town on paved roads except for a short stretch on Eototo. We booked last minute and got prompt answers when asking about check-in instructions just minutes after we booked the house. Would highly recommend.

Had a great time. Nice place to come back to after days of hiking and seeing the sights.

Great place in an excellent location! It’s close to Taos Ski Valley and just a short drive into town, which made everything super convenient. The house is spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax after a long hike, and the setting was peaceful and quiet. Would definitely stay here again!
