Pictures don’t do it justice

Such a fun house! We were so pleasantly surprised at how amazing it was. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s clean, it’s bright and refreshing inside. The hot tub is amazing and huge. The kitchen is VERY well stocked. Plenty of bath towels and hot tub towels to go around. Shower in the steam shower or bathe in a tub with a view! Ron is a SUPERHOST, and was available whenever we needed him. Contact him directly and he will get back with you!! Thank you so much Ron for your awesome home and always being available for us. We will recommend this place a thousand times over! We definitely recommend Windsor Castle!

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

Stayed 1 week as a party of 4 people and 1 dog. This is a fabulous spot, great views of the mountains, can walk to extensive hiking trails just up the road, with the Ski Valley being a short 15 minute drive. The house is spacious and lovely, with large sitting areas outside that are protected from sun and rain. Ron is a wonderfully attentive and responsive host. We have been here several times, and it has always been the nicest vacation rental experience we have had in the Taos area.
