Tranquil Gem !
Top of the list of VRBO properties where I have stayed .
A very special place.
We stayed 3 nights and did not leave property . It is situated between historic Manby Hot Springs (good short hike ! right from property) with views of the Dobson House (! this was a surprise). We felt we were in the middle of nowhere yet completely safe and secure. The location is residential with neighbors few and far between. Good Wi-fi.
The hot tub was VERY clean and already hot when we got there, worked perfectly, easily controlled and perfectly situated. The beds comfortable and kitchen well-stocked . Outdoor spaces were divine and each patio seemed to have its own bird friends/species.
The road in was 4x4 worthy ! A little intimidating if we would have needed to go back and forth to town. It is a slow but doable 4 miles of graded dirt but honestly once we were there with (recommend) carry groceries in, we felt zero need to leave.
A fantastic stay and I cannot thank you enough Katherin for sharing your place. It was just what the doctor ordered and then some ! Beautiful, peaceful and memorable.
(*We found ourselves attached to whomever the oversized height kitchen and bathrooms were designed for. I could only view the top of my head in mirrors and had no small concern that the gas stove would light my hair on fire . I used a stool (provided !). We are fans dear sir or madam that you have in your possession a house made just for you ! Kudos and thanks for sharing !)

Absolutely phenomenal stay in Taos, NM! This home was beyond amazing - from the cozy interior to the perfect location. The highlight was definitely the private hot springs hike, an experience like no other! Being able to unwind in the hot tub under the stars after a day of adventure was pure bliss. Plus, the convenience of being close to town added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip. 10/10, would definitely stay here again!

New Mexico Oasis
The property itself had the perfect New Mexico ambience to it. For those that want to feel "off the grid" in a relaxing retreat will surely find that here. I stayed for skiing with friends and we really enjoyed having fires, watching the stars from the hot tub and using the kitchen which as everything you will need. I will cherish the memories here and certainly will consider coming back. This place is a HIDDEN GEM which makes me love it even more. Every amenity was provided for and not many property hosts get it right but these guys did!

A perfect place to land
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Red Earth Palace Retreat. The home is immaculate. We were able to cook a delicious dinner as the kitchen is set up with everything you need to prepare any type of meal.
The owners are attentive - they checked in on upon arrival. They also answered any questions that came up during our stay.
I will definitely stay there again.

Outstanding experience
My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary here. It was absolutely magical. The house is gorgeous, and the secluded location was perfect for unplugging from our hectic lives for a week but close enough to Taos, the mountains and other destinations for day trips.
Our hosts couldn't have been more gracious or helpful. On one blustry day, we lost power for a short while. Katherin responded within seconds of getting our message and had an update for us within minutes. We really could not have asked for more. We hope to return one day.

Nice escape from the Texas heat!
We booked a week around Labor Day to escape the Texas heat. The setup was great for us and our 1 small dog. The host was very responsive and helpful with any questions. We enjoyed exploring Taos and a couple of rounds of golf along with needed relaxation!

Almost perfect
The house and area are beautiful and remote just like we wanted. Countertops and sinks are high but doable at 5'4". A little too hot in the house even with opening all windows at night but would probably be perfect from early fall to late spring. The trails weren't well marked on the ground and we ended up on the very difficult trail so we can't comment on the hot springs. Please note that the difficult trail can be accessed from the same point as the start of other trails. If you end up halfway down the gourge looking at the river it is beautiful and not for anyone with any mobility issues. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and communications with management were good. Just be aware of temperature and hiking concerns and you will have a perfect time.
