THAT NEW MEXICO SKY…
The setting is remote and quiet—when we watched the lunar eclipse the stars and milky way were incredibly bright, and my son, sleeping in the tipi, heard coyotes at night. But Taos, with its restaurants, shopping, galleries, organic foods market, and Taos Pueblo is only 45 minutes away, Ojo Caliente Hot Springs is a half-hour drive, and there are numerous scenic drives and hiking trails in the general area, as well as Angel Fire downhill mountain biking the other side of Taos. It was a perfect place to meet up with our children and to relax and begin our month-long holiday in the Four Corners area. And Elizabeth was so welcoming and helpful. We hope to return someday.

HIGH DESERT HAVEN
I was looking for a getaway that would have everything: first-rate accommodations, solitude, yet near both good hiking and civilization. Vista Verde was all of this, and more. From my very first contact with Elizabeth, I felt immediately welcome. She is professional, hospitable, informative. I stayed at the Q house, a charming, cozy, and sunny abode nestled among piñon trees. From there, I explored Taos, the Rio Grande Gorge, and many stunning area hikes. I can’t recommend this property enough for those looking to get away for a few days– or, like me, nearly two weeks. I can’t wait to go back!

PERFECT GETAWAY
My daughter made my reservation for me, so I didn’t know what to expect. What an incredible surprise to arrive and find such a secluded, warm, safe, and beautifully furnished home. We were able to prepare all our meals, entertain my daughter’s family, with three small children, and have our meals and conversation around a large table, while through the windows enjoy the true beauty of the surrounding landscape. The home is maintained well and very clean. We look forward to our next visit and highly recommend staying at Vista Verde Retreat.

RELAXING RETREAT
Vista Verde Retreat was an excellent getaway from the hassles of city life. We really enjoyed the setup of the main house and the casitas – a great way to enjoy the solitude and beauty of the New Mexican countryside. The owner is very knowledgeable about the area and makes sure that everything is going smoothly with the property. The place is well maintained and the photos accurately reflect this. Highly recommend you stay here. Great location!
