  4/5

  2 families stayed here for a ski trip to Sipapu. Everything was very clean and just as pictured. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice to have 2 living areas. There were lots of extras—trash bags, foil, laundry detergent, etc. We did have an issue with the middle bathroom toilet—it wouldn’t fill. We called the contacts and they were super sweet and came over immediately but unfortunately could not fix toilet so it wasn’t functional.

  A few things to know:

  1) It is clean and large but it is a double wide with addition. The area is down a dirt road—if there is a snow storm and you do not have AWD you will likely not get out.

  2) There are no stores/restaurants nearby or on road to/from Sipapu. Plan to take all your food.

  3) It’s a good 30 minute drive to Sipapu on dry roads.

  4) The upstairs addition does not have its own heating system so it gets very cold. They do provide electric blankets but it’s very different temps up and down.

  Overall we loved how clean and spacious and comfortable but we would likely not stay again more because of location. I think I would venture to rancho de Taos area.

  Lovely home, lovely views on drive in. Not far off the High Road to Taos. In response to reviews saying the community is poor. If you know New Mexico you know that most unincorporated communities tend to be less than affluent. You know that most communities off the beaten path are without a grocery store or restaurants.

  That’s the exact thing we look for when visiting NM. If you need those things then get a place in a larger town.

  The home itself has plenty of room, is very clean and decorated lovely. The kitchen is more than equipped. There’s no air conditioning but we didn’t need it in mid August, bedrooms have fans. Our trio of teenagers loved the game room. We travel often and regularly stay at vacation rentals. All in all this was one of the very nice ones we’ve stayed in. This was our first experience with Evolve and was pleased with customer service.

  The house is in a very poor location, we didn’t have any issues but the whole town looked very poor. No restaurants nearby or grocery stores (there is a family dollar) so come prepared to cook all your meals, which we did thankfully so all was good. The home was nice and clean. We had a few issues with the water but it was remedied quickly. Over all it was a great trip and it accommodated our family of 11 and one infant just fine. We went skiing at Sipapu for 3 days and sledding down a hill going towards Taos one day. We had to leave a day early because of a winter storm that came through.

  This was our first experience in New Mexico. The scenery is beautiful in New Mexico but this home is located in a very poor community with very limited amenities - they have a family dollar store but no restaurants nearby so buy groceries and be prepared to cook all your meals. The home itself is nice, recently updated and fit our family of 11 and one infant just fine. There were some issues in the beginning but were taken care of fairly quickly when notified. Overall we had a great time skiing at Sipapu and sledding down a hill going towards Taos. The home had internet, dish network and nice TVs which helped entertain children in the evenings.
