We are back in Chicago, and wanted to thank you for a wonderful stay. Your place was ideal.
Thank you again for the perfect place to stay. I hope we can visit Taos again soon. We loved it there.

P.S. I've attached a picture from our wedding. :)

Tomorrow morning we leave your place on Tewa, with regret, since we have had such a great time. We have enjoyed your place so very much. It is so quiet, beautiful, it has everything, great location...on and on. We loved it.
By the way, the mattresses are so comfortable! Could you tell me what kind of mattresses you have on the beds? Do you remember where you got them?
We bought an inexpensive CD player/radio at Walmart and will leave it for future guests. It works very well and the radio stations come in perfectly.
Again, thanks for everything, and especially for fixing up the Red Door so beautifully.
take care, Candyce G

Don,
We had a great time. Really, really liked your house. Met Jim Wagner at one of the galleries. Love his work.
We will tell our friends about your place - they're looking for suggestions for September.
Wonderful house you have here. Everything is of such good workmanship and quality.
By the way - is that your artwork on the walls?

Thanks Don.
Like I said on the phone, your place is lovely. We feel really at home here. We have stayed many years at Casa Benevides, Hacienda del Sol, and last year we tried Casa Gallina. This is the best after 14 years coming here every 4th.
My husband and I have a Taos tradition. We go to the Storyteller Theatre every 4th to watch the blockbuster of the summer. We park in front of the bank facing the street, so when we come out of the movie we are perfectly situated to watch the fireworks.
We drove into town on the 4th a few years ago just as it started raining. We quickly left for the theatre and noticed a small fire on Taos Mt. When we came out of the theatre it was a huge fire. No fireworks that night. We were staying at Casa Benevides and we told we could stay although everyone North of Kit Carson had to evacuate. We parked facing out for a quick getaway, slept in our clothes, and kept the car packed. The smoke was so thick we had to leave on the 3rd day. We are looking forward to the fireworks tomorrow.
After reading the comments from former guests, I noticed a few remarked that some of the artwork is yours. Fantastic. Are you still painting? I particularly love the painting of the gorge over the couch. I keep thinking I will take it up when I grow up! My Mother, my brother, my daughter all have talent. I got skipped. I can't make what is in my head appear in/on any medium. But coming to Taos lets me enjoy other people's gifts.
Also, where did you find the fantastic metal furnishings? I found a metal desk from Mex ico (in Tucson) but have never seen anymore metal pieces of furniture. I especially love the dining set that looks like a metal take on the Mexican pigskin chairs, and the mirrors and sconces.
Thanks for your hospitality,
Cathy

We enjoyed staying at your Taos home very much! It is furnished beautifully and we loved all the art in the house. We did forget to sign the guest book but I think that is the only thing that we neglected!
We hope to stay again some time and will pass on the info to my sister and her husband who hope to make a trip to Taos soon.

Don & Mary,
Thanks for letting us use your wonderful condo. It made our Taos experience wonderful. Traveling with an infant is always difficulty, but you had everything you could have imagined in your condo.

Thank you for the use of your casita. It was much more than I expected and the luxury quite a treat! I tried to put the bed in my suitcase...it is so comfortable, but alas, it did not fit. Again thank you for your hospitality and kindness. I look forward to returning to Taos and seeking out the Red Door.

What a beautiful, peaceful retreat. We had a wonderful time while staying at your place. It was equipped with everything we needed. Our stay in your casita was just what the doctor ordered. The R and R in such a lovely place was wonderful.

Our stay at your delightful casita was one of the best Taos visits yet! We are frequent visitors who are always looking for that "perfect" place here. I think we've found it. Not only was it beautifully furnished, it was lso very comfortable! We were instantly at home. We appreciated your art on the walls and that of your son's...We especially enjoyed the fireplace since we've come during the rainy season. Mil gracias for sharing this special place with us and for being such charning and gracious hosts.

Don and Mary,
Your condo was an integral part of our family's first ski vacation. To come "home" each evening to a place so lovely to look at, and so comfortable to rest and relax made the trip truly wonderful. We marveled at the original art, the tasteful decor, and the quiet surrrounds so close to everything. You forgot nothing to make a guest feel welcome and delighted to be here. Our daughter swears the art in the bathrom are Joan Miro originals.

It has been a real pleasure staying in your "blushing door" condo. We were able to completely relax and enjoy the superb skiing--your place is so comfortable and well appointed. Thanks for all the "little touches" which raised the experience even further.

Staying inyour home, with all the beautiful art you have created was truly an ethnic experience. It was a place in which sisterhood was shared, love was shared and an appreciation of the majestic gifts God has createdfor us to enjoy. Thank you for this extraordinary experience...

Hard thunder rumbles on this July afternoon as a gentle rain wraps itself around me. I have left my possessions; taken up yours for one sensuous week in this adobe-like dwelling dressed in earthy reds; adorned with originals on the pale velvet walls...outside the "coyote" fence is softened by a young Hawthorn sapling prayerfully receiving the afternoon offering of rain.
Thanks for a pleasant week.
