Lovely stay
Spacious. Excellent light: large windows downstairs and upstairs provided a lovely view of the sunset every day, and skylights in the living room created a bright and inviting space. Kind and responsive host. The neighbor's friendly cats are available for pets.

Wonderful place hosted by great people
My 3 sisters and were super happy staying here - it feels secluded and quiet but is near the main road, and more importantly the place itself is just lovely. There’s a great feel to it, as well as having all the amenities. Meredith answered all our questions very quickly - it was great having her be so responsive!The only thing that’s confusing is the code box on the front door - just realize that the numbers will light up when you

Family Ski Trip
This was an awesome find! My partner, my dad, and I came to try Taos Ski Valley and Angel Fire Resort. The town of Taos was a perfect middle ground for both ski resorts. The house was the perfect amount of space for 3 people and could even house a 4th or 5th person if needed. Very charming decor and we had access to everything we needed, inside and out (very central to town).

A week in Taos
My sister and I visited the Taos area for a week, to do some sightseeing and hiking. This property was perfect for the two of us. The neighborhood is very quiet and feels very safe. The next door neighbor was so courteous as to check in with us the day before he planned to do some noisy repair work in his back yard. We were out and about that next day, so it didn't affect us at all. But such thoughtfulness left an impression. This lovely little house has a perfect little fenced in yard and comes with all the amenities you need to prepare your own meals, to tidy up, to wash and dry your clothes. Two minor items to take into consideration: the downstairs mattress is very soft and the downstairs shower stall is very tight. These are observations, not criticisms. For us, the Casa de Blis was an excellent choice, and we'd gladly return.

Property not cleaned
Vrbo gave the wrong entrance information. Had to call property manager for access. Damp towels in linen area. Laundry left in the location was to other areas of Taos was great. The location was quiet . But fir the orice I was disappointeddryer. Rugs not vacuum cleaned- lint, hair pins and hair on rugs. Plaster peeling from living room window surround. Screen dooir at front did not connect with loop so couldn’t be used. Cracked tiles in kitchen area.

It was convenient to the Big Barn Dance but we did have to drive to the center of town to get a parking spot. The VRBO house was clean as expected. Great responses from the owner and local response team.

The property is swell, although I'd use the upstairs shower only in case of elbows hitting the wall. Communication with owner/manager was great, especially since the info from vrbo was wrong, and owner keeps trying to correct it. Thank you for the lovely space

March lodging in Taos
Roomy, nice , good location, good price. For what you get, you are not going to do better. It has everything you could possibly need except large compacity. Has very small washer and dryer. We just washed a super small load a few times every night. Full bed downstairs. Queen upstairs. And Futon in living room. Small window unit upstairs which was needed in March.

Home away from home.
We booked it as a 3 Bedroom but it is not quite a 3 Bedroom. However it is a 1 Master bedroom w/ chest of drawers & shelves in it with 2 more queen size beds upstairs in a huge particelly closely loft. There is a full size bathroom & a piano upstairs ! No chest of drawers, but some selves. Downstairs in living room we found that couch also is a sofa bed & the other couch is big enough to sleep another. Downstairs bathroom only has shower but holds washer& dryer. The kitchen & dining was equipped with what we needed. Our note in guess book was very positive. We loved our stay. The house is very comfortable & it could sleep more than 6. It is very spacious. Just let people know it not traditional Bedrooms

Spacious yet cozy
Casa De Blis is a very serene escape; we love every visit we make to this wonderful home. The remodeled upstairs bedroom is particularly welcoming, and the open spaces and natural lighting during the day are very welcome. Easy access to everything you need in Taos. Definitely will keep coming here! :-) Thanks for hosting us, Meredith!!

Disappointments
One issue was the inaccurate description of sleeping spaces. We had one very comfortable bed, one bed that was so-so, and that was it. There were four of us. One of our party slept the first night on the sofa bed, which was uncomfortable enough that she really didn't sleep much at all. And the second night, she tried the air mattress, which deflated in the middle of the night, and even though she reinflated it several times, it lost air, so she had to return to the very uncomfortable couch. The owners/manangers should have left instructions for how to use the mattress if there were special considerations. This experience was unacceptable. You advertised places for six to sleep, but our party of four was not well-served. And we paid the high Christmas price. The downstairs bath was dirty, especially around the baseboards, and the toilet clogged the second day badly. No amount of plunging could remedy it. Some kind of small black insect was crawling near the baseboards in the downstairs bath and on the kitchen counter. And the lock box combination and the WiFi codes the host sent were incorrect, causing unnecessary problems (like standing around in the bitter cold to take screen shots of the lock box). Lots of crumbs in the refrigerator didn't make for confidence in the level of care. For the price, I expected a better experience. It was my first time with VRBO. I am not impressed.

Comfortable with beautiful views!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The property is a 2br townhouse, with a loft master bedroom and another downstairs, each with a full bath. We were two couples and everyone was comfortable. Nice open kitchen. There is an amazing view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains from the back yard. It's right off Paseo Del Pueblo, the main road through town, and close to the square but not so close that traffic was ever a problem. Recommended!

Spacious house, good location
The house was located in a good location, close to restaurants and grocery stores. The house had everything we needed for a weeklong stay and it was very clean. All we had to buy were our groceries. We were there with our 2 boys, 9 year old and 4 year old, and they liked having their little area in the loft. It was very convenient that it had 2 full bathrooms. The only negatives were that the bed and couch were not very comfortable and the downstairs shower is tiny.
