Summary: The home is fantastic - large rooms, plenty of space. comfortable all around. Backyard was big enough to place Frisby. Morning Coffee on the back porch and evenings in the hot tub and see the stars.

Summary: There was 11 of us at this wonderful place. The Property Manager called us and provided all the necessary instructions, which was a nice touch! The house is large and we all were very comfortable! Kitchen is stocked better than any place I've stayed. Plenty of towels and blankets. Beautiful views during sunset.We all made wonderful memories, and will definitely consider renting this property again.

Kimberly S. Jan 26, 2025 01:29:27 AM
Summary: We were so pleased with this beautiful, spacious, well equipped home. The property was tranquil and very private. The stars are absolutely amazing. The outdoors enabled our grandson to run wild, swing and be a kid. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The fireplaces are such a nice perk and we used them every night. I can’t say enough good things about this property! Last but not least the property manager was everything you want when renting! Thank you for a lovely holiday week!

Summary: Wonderfully appointed property, king beds and bathrooms for each couple. This was ideal for our group of four couples.
Lynne R. Sep 25, 2024 03:57:41 AM
Summary: We had a wonderful fall weekend stay with 7 adults aged 30-70 and a toddler. Everyone loved Bright Star, inside and outside. The location north of Taos was perfect for our restaurant choices and adventures. The neighborhood was VERY quiet. And the house was exceptionally CLEAN with ample paper products. Our only complaints (not worth deducting a star) were 1. The master bed is exceptionally old and uncomfortable - very soft and concave, 2. The master bed linens smelled of strong laundry fragrance or a prior guest's cologne, and 3. We could not get the LR TV to work on any channel or app, and the host did not reply to our request for help by text. We would gladly return in the fall, winter, or spring if these issues are addressed. But not in the summer as the house has no A/C.
