| We were a group of 4 friends who wanted a wintry getaway the week after Christmas 2009. Casa de Luz was a great choice. It provided a peaceful, solitary respite in which to recharge and relax; and still afforded great opportunities to take in the Ski Valley and Taos town and surrounding attractions. The home is cozy, warm and well-appointed. The two bedrooms were like two master suites. Neither couple felt like they were missing out on the better room. The hot tub was a great element as well to enjoy the sundowns -- even when it was freezing cold. Sharon and her property manager went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and know that they were available for any question or concern that might come up. But is was a blissful stay and well worth returning on some future occassion. |

| My wife and I had a fantastic stay in June 2009. It is a great place to get away and relax. Summertime is a great time for hiking and whitewater rafting (some of the best whitewater rafting in the country). Good restaurants and shopping are also just a few minutes down the road. Thanks! |

My wife and I stayed in this house for a week in mid-October 2009.
The house is ideally located in the sagebrush north of town. It is perhaps five minutes from the plaza and fifteen minutes, or less, from TSV. Though there are other houses nearby it is in a quiet location - I saw only a few people all week. There are great views to the mountains from several rooms - stunning sunrises and sunsets. There are many windows in the house and great light throughout.
We did not use it very often but the large kitchen looked well equipped. There is a dining table that will, I think, seat six. A washer and dryer are also present. The house has fast wifi.
Both bedrooms are nicely sized as are the bathrooms. There were more than enough towels, etc. The beds are not kings but they are comfortable and of nice size.
The living room has a couple of chairs and I think a sleeper sofa though we never pulled it out to check. There is a small television with a DVD player in the living room and another TV in one of the bedrooms, both with satellite service. There is also a sound system which we did not use.
There is a large backyard with a grill. The house has a small private side yard, off the bedrooms, with a nice hot tub which we used almost every evening. There are beautiful views of the night sky from the hot tub.
The house was clean. The owner was easy to get in touch with and very helpful. Check in and check out are "self serve" as are most properties on VRBO and was easy. A pager number is provided for a local property manager in case of any problems but we had no occasion to use it.
We had a great low-key week in Taos staying at this house and plan on staying here again the next time we are in the area. |

This was our first visit to Casa Del Luz but certainly not the last!
Casa del Luz is the perfect home for a comfortable and peaceful get away plus the views from the hot tub are nothing short of spectacular.
I also have to add how wonderful the property owners are. We left some items in the home on our departure that I assumed would be gone forever. Instead, the owners really went over and above to see that they were returned to me. Thank you so much!
I can't wait for our next visit.

It has been my pleasure to stay at Casa de Luz four times during the last three years. Each experience has been both inspiring and healing to the mind and body. I would like to express my appreciation to you for sharing your home with me and others. A vacation that is truly a VACATION.
Thanks Again,

We had a great time at Casa de Luz. It was a great getaway for the three of us. The fishing was good and helped us relax. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub every night. The view here is beautiful. We can't wait to return!

What a great place to ring in the New Year! The snow was awesome but the experience would not have been the same without La Casa de Luz. We loved it! This was my 3rd trip to Taos and by far the best! Thanks so much!

We had a wonderful time; this is an ideal place for 2-4 people. Although we brought cross-country skis, we didn't use them, being content to take long walks in the sunset, laugh, play games, hot tub, read, nap, and eat. Thanks for sharing Casa de Luz with us; it is a special place.

We stayed here only a couple of days, unfortunately. It is really beautiful. We're driving cross-country from NY. First time in New Mexico, but hopefully, not the last.

We just finished another wonderful Christmas holiday. A new tradition - Christmas in Taos - not a bad tradition! No snow but beautiful sun & the skiing was still OK. Thanks again for sharing your home.

We came here for a few days to relax before the kids went back to school. The house was beautiful and the dogs loved the fenced backyard. We enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for opening your home for us to stay in. We enjoyed sitting & gazing at the incredible mountain views. The dogs had a blast taking mountain hikes and absorbing the "culture" of the area. This home was perfect for just relaxing. We enjoyed our stay!

What a fabulous way to bring in 2005. Taos is a great place to relax and recharge. Your house is beautiful. The bright sun, blue sky, and great company made our stay one of the nicest vacations we've taken recently. Thanks for everything.

The magic of Taos & Casa de Luz's setting in the beautiful snowy mountains, tree lights glistening in the night, the smell of pinon in the air, and the warmth of Casa de Luz told us it's Christmas. What a privilege to be the first guests in this beautiful casa. We enjoyed it so much and we hope to come back again. Thank you for the hospitality.
