The area is beautiful. Lots of natural scenery and hiking trails. The hotel is clean and quiet. The hot tub and sauna are great.

Finding the hotel entrance is tricky. Several doors are marked as the hotel but these are not the lobby. The lobby is on thunderbird rd. Do not cross the footbridge as the doors there are guest access only after check in. The king suite is awkwardly laid out. We had to step into the second bedroom to acccess the bathroom, and our companions had to step into our bedroom for the kitchen access. We went in the off season and there was a lot of construction blocking road and trail access.

The AVS is what we all imagine a ski village lodge to look and feel like. Funky logistics to get around, but total alpine feel. Room was perfect for me and my kid. Bed was very comfortable with 4 pillows, kid stayed in the loft/mezzanine accessible by ladder - her "crib". Nice bathroom. Heater worked fine. Full mini-kitchen so we made b-fast every morning. Very clean, comfortable. Fantastic location right next to Lift 1 (main base) - we skied 4-5 hours a day. Walking distance to all restaurants. Friendly staff. And, before I forget, a wonderful jacuzzi (fits 7) and sauna that I used every night to sooth my knees.

The staff at the hotel was really friendly and took the time to make sure that we had everything we needed and addressed issues quickly. The lobby entrance is a very short, flat walk from the base of the mountain, so getting to and from the lift was a breeze. Getting to use the hot tub after a long day was also amazing.

I didn't love needing to climb a ladder to get to and from my bed, but that's life in a loft I guess.

It was close to Taos, which was our destination however it was beautiful to get up in the mountains for a night and see the beautiful scenery. One of the two rooms that are connected was very beautiful with a rushing creek running by. Wi-Fi is great. Nice restaurants and gift shop even during the off season.

The property is beautiful and the resort is beautiful however we stayed in a two bedroom and the second bedroom is Windus, which is a bit uncomfortable, but it was doable and the other room is very pretty. We also found it hard to find!

Check-in was easy. The front desk agent was helpful and was able to extend checkout by 2 hours so I could work from the room on the morning on our departure. We were there in the off season, so I imagine that made it a little more flexible. The room was clean and cozy and everything we needed. We didn't realize there was a stove and it was such a wonderful surprise! We are cheap, so we almost never go out to eat. The view was delightful from the balcony. We used the sauna and hot tub the night before we hiked Humphrey's Peak and again after. It was luxurious. Truly such a great little getaway.

The ladder to the loft was just that, a ladder. It was fine (fun even) for us, but would be really challenging for some people. Especially getting luggage up there. It was cold during our stay (early November) and the room was HOT from the sun. There are blinds over the lower window and sliding door, but not over the stained glass window up top. We were able to open the door to the balcony and use the fans and then it really was quite comfortable. The jets didn't work in the hot tub, but the temperature was perfect, so we didn't mind.

We LOVED everything about our visit. We came back to stay 2 weeks later at the Alpine Village when we registered for our Cottam Lodge reservation 2 weeks before (it was our first time in Taos Ski Village). We will be regular clients now, we just loved our experience. BOUNS: we loved our check in experience, both times the registration staff were amazing, congratulations in finding such polite and professionally skilled staff. V. Mora The Grace Tree Foundation

The first room we were given smelled of body order, the reception staff apologized and quickly moved us to another room. Let us know this isn't a normal experience of their rooms.

Room 18 faced west so the sun was pretty bad when we checked in around 4:00 on July 9. I knew as soon as the earth turned away from the sun, I would love the outside patio on the west. I was right. I watched the stars from the patio that night, and the next morning I saw a double rainbow from that west-facing patio. I'll never forget it. I slept on the Murphy bed which was okay. My partner slept in the loft and it was not easy climbing up the ladder to the loft. But for the $159 we paid for the room, it was a very nice room, especially the shower. I loved it.

The loft would have made me claustrophobic, but my partner was willing to sleep there. Children would have loved sleeping there. That's the problem, we are not young enough!

We stayed in a little loft, very cute, cozy and clean. The staff helped us in everything and they were super sweet, brought us a humidifier because we are from a humid place and that helped us a lot, everything great!

Location! Rental equipment, ski lift and food - everything was within 2-minute walk. Very friendly staff. No breakfast but we found some fresh made cookies in the lobby- those cookies were better than a lot of “breakfast included” options we tried before, nice surprise, my son loved them.

The room was very clean and comfortable. It was nice to have the small balcony right over the creek. I loved the proximity to restaurants and shopping in the ski Village. The hotel was quiet – although I know it is not ski season. I would definitely stay here again! The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.

My only complaints are the beds. They were too soft. And if you had to sleep on the sleeper sofa, you were better off pulling the mattress off and laying it on the floor. I’m pretty sure an adult could not sleep on the sleeper sofa.
