El Salto Compound-Private setting on 3 acres with trees- 3 separate homes

Arroyo Seco - El Salto area - 10 miles to Taos Ski Valley - 2 miles to Arroyo Seco Village and 8 miles to Taos, NM

El Salto Log Compound is one of Premiere's largest properties sleeping 18 guests in 8 bedrooms (includes 2 lofts) and 6.5 bathrooms. The compound boasts 2 hot tubs, 3 kitchens, 3 living rooms, 2 large flat screen TV's and one standard flat screen TV.

The awesome design and architecture of El Salto the log home sends guests home with a most memorable vacation stay and a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience an authentic log home. The Guest Cabin (located next to El Salto Log Home) and Private Cabin (nestled by itself at bottom of tree protected drive) offer efficient separation for large groups wanting to stay "together" with a sense of privacy and togetherness all at once.

The guest house proximity to the log home makes it a perfect separation for children and teens to have their own space to watch big screen TV and play table games for day time and early evening recreation. Two hot tubs means most everyone who wants to soak will find hot tub space at any given time. The luxury of 3 kitchens means that separate families can separately prepare food and convene for group meals. A piano in in place as an added attraction for groups - there is always someone who plays the piano and always many who love to sing along with a piano player.

This Taos cabin, guest house and log home vacation spot is a gem of a find in the Premiere Properties Taos Vacation Rentals inventory. We promise, you will run home and delight friends and family with photos and tales of your Taos lodging experience at El Salto Log Home Compound.

Sleeping Arrangements:
Main House can sleep 8 with King, King, Queen and a trundle (2 twin beds) in the loft
Guest House can sleep 6 with King, King and 2 Twins in the loft plus a twin sleeper sofa in the living room

A slice of heaven for my birthday!

Just returned from a wonderful stay in Taos. I would highly recommend El Salto for a large group. We had a group of 10 and plenty of room. We convened for meals, cocktails, etc., in the main house. As others have said, there are steps and a sunken LR in the main house, but we strategically placed a chair and end table and had no problems (and we aren't spring chickens). Terra was amazingly responsive to our needs. Also, I have stayed in many rental homes and this one had nearly every pot, pan, utensil, etc., one might want. The view is amazing. Sunsets were perfect. You can't go wrong here!

Lots of Room/Great Location/Attention to Detail Needed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fifteen family members stayed at this compound for a local wedding. For us, the location was perfect for all the events over three days. We had plenty of room to spread out, to gather together, and to enjoy the outdoors. It should be noted that the loft in the guest house, though very cute, was not suitable for adults or children in our group. The “stairway” leading up to the loft was basically a steep ladder. There was also an opening in that room that overlooked the living room. We didn’t feel comfortable having the 5-year-old in there, and no adult would want to make that climb multiple times each day. There was a dishwasher “glitch” noted in the main house info, but seriously the dishwasher just didn’t work. The microwave had evidently been replaced at some point with a smaller version, and it didn’t fill the space , leaving an insitely gap on the sides. Still, it did work. The main house and the little cabin were much in need of a good cleaning. None of the floors appeared to have been cleaned, cobwebs were abundant, and the pull-out in the small cabin was no usable. When pulled out it was really dirty. Old ear plugs, wrappers, crumbs. We pushed it back in, sanitized the couch, and just had the little one sleep there. We would love to stay in this area again when visiting family, and I'm hoping these issues are resolved in the future.

This place really needs to be upgraded. Faucets are loose, one of the bathrooms was unusable and was locked off in the guest house so the usable bath has a tiny sink and shower. The CO2 alarm went off at 11:30 pm in the cabin - 5 short beeps and then pause- which internet says evacuate. Two of us had to go to main house and sleep on couch. Caregiver says was fine the next day, just battery but we were then concerned about our safety. Refrigerator in the main house went out and we lost some food. Learned it has to be reset sometimes. Dishwasher needs to be reset intermittently too Stovetop is very difficult to figure out , but it works.. sort of - if you don't need to boil water. Beautiful location and place

And the proximity to Taos, Taos Ski Valley, and the cute town of Arroyo Seco can't be beat. I would love to come back!

Amazing Gorgeous Family Cabins

This property was the perfect location for a large, multi family ski vacation. The main house is just gorgeous, beautiful views, warm and cozy. The other two houses decorated so thoughtfully and perfect for multiple families. The hot tubs perfect for after ski muscles. We were a party of 12, the best thing was that the main house had SO much seating and table space for games, hanging out and meals. The kitchen had everything for larger groups. Very clean, and the caretaker was very communicative and helpful for any questions or special needs. Had amazing skiing. Great trip and definitely would stay at this property again. Need 4x4 or all wheel drive if there during winter weather.
