Stella Luna - dans le tour de Taos Mountain!

We enjoyed staying in this quaint Adobe style home during Christmas week 2019. It was minutes from Taos and only an hour and a half from Santa Fe and other points of interest. We we're lucky enough to see a white Christmas while we were here!!

We enjoyed the remoteness of the House. We saw mule deer up close and what we think are prairie dogs next door.

Our family of 4 (2 adults & 2 young adult children) made Stella Luna our home for 7 days over Spring Break and we were not disappointed! First, the house is very convenient to the Ski Valley, Arroyo Seco and Taos. We made several trips back and forth throughout our week and the drive/distance was never an issue.

When we arrived, we were welcomed by Bettina and shown around the house and provided some goodies which included fresh fruit, a bottle of wine and some delicious fresh local salsa and chips! The house is just as pictured...as a matter of fact, I almost felt like I had been there before just from looking through the pics several times and it was the perfect size for our family. The mountain view out the french doors while sitting on the sofa was incredible and the addition of the hot tub was needed and used a couple of evenings after a day on the slopes. We were lucky enough to have epic snowfall in the Ski Valley while we were there (40+ inches) and even though there was no snow when we arrived at Stella Luna, by the time we left we had received approx 4 inches which made the landscape and view even more beautiful.

The house had everything we needed from coffee grinder/maker, any pots & pans, utensils you would need as well as a pantry full of spices and common ingredients if perhaps you forgot something. I made note of the abundance of bath towels/washcloths as usually there are only a few you have to wash several times during your stay... but this house has plenty! We also appreciated the organic, green/clean soaps for dishes and laundry as our family uses the same at home so that was a nice touch.

Sanjay was very responsive when setting up our arrival time as well as when we had a slight issue with the door lock. He even contacted me the day after we arrived back home to ask if a ring he found belonged to us... it was my daughters that she had left & he promptly mailed it to us, which was very kind of him.

If we had one thing we would say could have been better (and its pretty much the only one thing) is the beds were quite uncomfortable. We are used to a Tempurpedic, both my husband and I have some back issues and the beds (both rooms) in our opinion were extra, extra firm & took a few nights to get used to.

This trip was the last family trip before our daughter goes off to college and it was certainly one for the books! As the title suggests, this was an Epic Spring Break and Stella Luna was the perfect place to stay!

We were met and welcomed on a late Saturday night arrival. The host gave us a bottle of wine and basket of fruit to greet us. The house is well appointed and very comfortable. If we had one wish, it would be for a more user friendly coffee maker.

Everything was great
