Valdez Cottage | The Sloping Porch Guest Cottage @ Rio Hondo Vally Alpacas-No Cleaning Fee

1 Bedroom Cottage in Valdez

Take a trip back in time when life was much simpler. There is nothing but silence, the sound of the Rio Hondo River and the rustling of the century old cottonwoods. You can sit by a 100' pond and watch the friendly Mr. Goose and the wild Mallard Ducks or you can set by the River Hondo and watch it make it's way to the Rio Grand.
A short walking distance to the other side of the property is the working part of the farm, consisting of Alpacas, Chickens and of course the gentle Great Pyrenees who watch over all. You can learn the history of the Alpaca and visit out studio to see what we do with the Alpaca fiber.
We are located on a 13 acre private estate half between Taos and Taos Ski Valley.
The cottage has a full kitchen, bathroom with tub shower combo and a living room bedroom combo area.

Summary: This property is nestled down in a valley of trees and absolute tranquility. A small river runs along the edge of the property and a pond is just outside the door. The quietness of the house is only one of its many charms. While the bed was a bit firmer than we like, the quaint and rustic settings more than made up for it. Would truly stay here many times over!

Summary: The Sloping Porch sits on a 13+ acre ranch alongside the Rio Hondo (which in early October was pretty quiet). The house is a good size and the two of us were very comfortable there. The hosts, June and Jim, have lived on this property for 30 years and have really made it something special and are lovely people. Jim is also quite creative and has made so many great sculptures around the property, plus he built the Treehouse that is also for rent! You’re only 10 mins or so from Taos (though current road construction can stretch that a bit). We LOVED being there and look forward to returning someday soon!

Summary: Beautiful property off the beaten path near Taos. The owners are wonderful and gracious. I was able to meet the alpalcas and feed them a treat. We enjoyed our time sitting by the river and pond. Lots to do and see in the area to occupy our time. The cottage was clean and so pretty. Bed very comfortable. Amazing, beautiful place to unwind from the daily grind. We will be back thank you for sharing with us.

Summary: Comfortable and cozy casita in well manicured estate with a small pond and the Rio Hondo close by. Friendly and helpful owners. Alpacas, dog, cats and wild critters abound. If your eyes are light sensitive, then the skylight over the bed might be a minus for you. Otherwise, this has to be one of the better VRBOs we have stayed at. Definitely will return sometime.
