  • New Mexico is incredibly special and has always been one of my favorite states. Sally and Pete's home in Taos offers stunning views of the landscape that will make you want to return year after year. Located in an isolated area, I saw wildlife every day and enjoyed unobstructed views of nature. Despite its seclusion, the home is close enough to town for all the conveniences you need. Day trips to nearby towns are easy, and Santa Fe is a must-visit. The balcony is the perfect place to enjoy meals with sweeping views, and the bed is spacious and very comfortable. Everything about this stay was wonderful, and Sally and Pete are exceptional hosts.

  • Sally and Pete are one of the hosts I highly look up to. My friend Jihong (PLU#10623 and #13850) and I found ourselves relaxing as soon as we stepped into their guest suite with an expansive view of idyllic, tranquil high dessert landscape in Taos NM. They prepared some basic groceries such as eggs, milk, coffee, fruits for us so that rushing out of the door in the morning to a near by ski resort was a breeze. Pete offered to make a fire in the guest suite in an evening, which turned into an endless conversation over a cup of tea around a warmth of fire. Their home is a product of their love for nature- and being welcomed in their home is such a treat to learn and explore the area. I have already asked if we can come back again. And I am very much looking forward to host them in my NYC apartment.
