Fall weekend trip

Impressive condo by the mountains with a stream running along the road and the changing trees were spectacular. The rooms were beautiful but our favorite part was the down stairs living room. We can’t wait to visit again.

Loved it!

Had a great stay in the general Taos area. We particularly liked the kitchen and all of its amenities. Beds were comfy, wifi worked great, and our teen was happy (haha)! The location was beautiful and perfect for our needs. We hope to return later this year.

Cozy mountain retreat

Excellent location with everything one needs for a stay. Split level design was a bit of a challenge for one of our party. The upper balcony was great for watching the sunset. We had deer visit in the evening. Spent the mornings downstairs outside or inside by the windows watching the sunrise and the birds.

Loved our stay!

The location to Taos Valley, the Enchanted Loop with the Red River Fishery and Eagles Nest Lake was just perfect from the Magpie’s Nest. The mountain view from the deck was outstanding and so were all the accommodations. The short drive to Taos Plaza and local cuisine was super. Would definitely book again!

Well Stocked and Homey

Loved our stay here. We came to ski so the location between Taos proper and the ski resort was optimal. You can tell the owners spend time here as it is well stocked and homey. If you like to cook, they have you covered! Communication was great and everything in the unit was well marked.

Great Spot! Helpful hosts!

We had a wonderful time at this spot. The place was beautiful, the beds were comfty, and the kitchen was stocked with really nice cooking utensils. The hosts were lovely, and even ordered a pack and play and made sure there was a noise maker when we said we were bringing an infant. We will certainly be back, and may even try to book again this winter!

Absolutely fantastic

Property as described. Completeness and the amenities are just like your at your own house. Drive to TSV 15 minutes. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything one might need. TV’s in each room and everybody gets their own bathroom, doesn’t get much better. Definitely stay here again next Taos trip.

Taos Ski Valley get away

The property was just right for our two day ski trip. The condo was comfortable, nicely decorated and well-equipped. A quick 20 minute trip to the ski area and 10-15 minutes to great restaurants in Arroyo Seco, El Prado and Taos. Our favorites were Taos Cow, Orlandos and Medley. There was quite a bit of snow on the ground so we did not use the outdoor areas but I enjoyed watching daybreak from inside the cozy living room.

Spacious and clean

We loved our stay at Magpies Nest. It is clean and conveniently located to the Taos ski valley. The house was cozy and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. The owners were so nice and quick to respond when the battery in the keypad was almost dead. I would recommend having 4 wheel drive in the winter. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
