Family-friendly vacation rentals in Rio Arriba County

This was a really special and unique house. It worked out very well for our group of two families with young kids. The location felt very remote and the drive up would not be for the faint of heart in bad weather, but the views were beautiful. It was about equidistant to going to the mountain for skiing and into town, which made it convenient. Kitchen was very well equipped as well. Overall would definitely recommend!

This space is somehow even more inviting and wonderful than the photos portray. It feels spacious but cozy and has so much character and vibe and I fell in love the moment I walked in! Jean and Steve are the ultimate hosts. Attentive and so friendly, but with plenty of space. There are touches throughout that covered every need I could think of for a beautiful Taos retreat. The claw foot tub with a gorgeous view is a highlight, but the bed is also luxurious and comfy with lots of pillows and covers. And getting to sit au naturel in a hot tub under the stars is very hard to beat. The location feels so secluded at the end of a dead end road, but easy access to everything around. I will definitely be returning!

Everything was so perfect! This location is beyond beautiful. I don't have words for how special our experience was! Thank you Vivienne!

Perfect. That sums it up in entirety. Beautiful comfortable home. Tasteful stylish decor. Hot strong shower. Hot tub. Instantly at ease. 50 meters to the cafe and market, steps further to the quaint town. 15 minute drive to Taos but Arroyo Seco is almost too wonderful to want to stray. Small community friendly calm vibe. Brian’s home is a prize of a find. Can’t wait to go back.

Casa Maravilla offers a beautiful escape in the warm and picturesque town of Taos. The casita is nestled at the end of the road, providing tranquility and privacy with a gorgeous vista to wake up to every morning. It was a delight to speak to Tara and Jean Jacques in the mornings as they tended to their garden. This is a beautiful stay. Highly recommend.

Great location and wonderful rental! The views and hot tub were great. Beds were comfortable…we would stay here again!

Comfortable home in a beautiful, peaceful location. Sanjay was a gracious and generous host.

One of our favorite Air Bnbs! Beautiful house and gardens. We loved absolutely everything about this house. The location was close to town and also the ski valley to be able to do all the hikes we wanted to do. Beautiful scenery. Great restaurants. Medley right around the corner was fantastic. Would stay here again without a doubt!

The Earth ship was exactly as described but even cooler and more beautiful surroundings in person. I will be recommending this spot to friends and hope to return myself.

Absolutely wonderful stay at Valdez Vista. The home is private, well appointed and has amazing views. Great location for day trips in the area and just a few minutes to downtown Taos. The hosts are great as well!

The listing accurately describes the earthship. To locate the earthship there is a Pyramid Way sign on Sugar Lane; take this turnoff and the earthship is about 50 yards in your right. We enjoyed peace and security offered by the earthship. There is a greenhouse portion of the earthship that we enjoyed dining next to. There is a stereo with appropriate input jacks so you can listen to your computer of other electronic device. Prior to any visit we would recommend watching the documentary Garbage Warrior (on Youtube) to understand and appreciate the design of the earthship. We will look to return in the early fall.

Gorgeous spot on the river. Screened in porch is lovely. Great bird watching and star gazing. We felt very lucky to be there for the weekend.

Thanks for the great place to stay! Awesome house and Matt is an excellent host. Would recommend!

I visited from Chicago for a a fairly long stay (~12 days), and it was a great experience! The living space was very cozy and had a very usable kitchen. The views of the mountains during the morning and evening were pretty great, and the location was far enough away from people to remain quiet while still being close enough to grab groceries on a whim. Plenty of outdoor activities to do in the nearby area.

The minute we arrived we felt at home yet also appreciative of how special the space is. We enjoyed the experience of being in a home whose comfort came from the earth and sun. The architecture, engineering, and philosophy are admirable and inspiring. We were grateful to have a pet friendly earthship option to accommodate people like our family, traveling with dogs. Favorite things: family of jack rabbits adjacent to the house, coyotes howling in the distance, quails and rock wrens, and a close herd of cattle lowing at sunset.

My wife and I were looking for a place to spend our first anniversary that was quiet and beautiful. This casita was exactly what we were looking for. It feels very remote, and the 360 degree views are absolutely stunning. The home itself was very comfortable and clean, we had everything we needed during our stay. Larry was very helpful, and we can tell he definitely does everything he can to make his guests comfortable. Overall, if you are looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature and serene views, my wife and I would both agree this is a great place.

WE love this little place and the complex. This is our second stay here. Convenient skiing, lots of shops in Taos, great music venues. good restaurants. What more could you want!

Everything you could want was available in this suites hotel resort atmosphere. All attractions were within walking distance. Perfect all around!

Condo was clean, well-appointed and perfectly adequate for a stay of a few days in Taos. It's more like a hotel room with a Murphy bed and kitchenette; however, it did appear to have been recently remodeled and updated. The resort has a game room, pool, communal kitchen, lounge area and laundry available for use. The location of the property is walking distance to the plaza, Kit Carson Park, and many other restaurants and attractions. The price seemed a bit high for the actual room, but it was a holiday week so I'm sure that had some bearing on the price.

We’ve stayed here several years in a row over Thanksgiving. It’s a great location-between Downtown Taos and Arroyo Seco (lots of good dining options there!). The property is exactly as described and Monica is always incredibly helpful and responsive. The property is also VERY well stocked. We were never lacking anything in the kitchen or bathrooms.

Great place. Very friendly and accommodating!

Amazing location. Great spot for a 2-3 person getaway. Had everything we needed and a lot of privacy. Will for sure return.

I have stayed at many different places in Taos. This is definitely the best for the money that I have ever stayed in very conveniently located very nice property the accommodations were fantastic

Our family had a very peaceful and relaxing stay at Casa Coyote! The house was very spacious and comfortable, with beautiful views and loads of prairie dogs and cows to enjoy watching, gorgeous sunsets and very peaceful surrounds. We enjoyed the private hot tub and grill. The house is very welcoming with comfortable beds, well-fitted kitchen, high ceilings and pretty art throughout. It wasn’t easy to go for walks from the house due to the roads not having much shoulder, but a short drive to trailheads, 15min drive to the ski area in one direction and Taos in the other. We also enjoyed the nearby Arroyo Seco town with cute cafe, mercantile and galleries. Highly recommend if you are looking for a private, peaceful place to unwind!
