Question 4

How is the Cell Service in Taos?

Accepted Answer

Verizon is the best signal around, but when you come to Taos you should plan on having spotty service at best, regardless of carrier. [Taos Ski Valley Coverage](https://www.signalchecker.com/nm/taos-ski-valley) Valdez, El Prado, and Arroyo Seco properties may have spotty or minimum cell signal, Taos Ski Valley has better coverage as does the town of Taos.

Do you have a Hot Tub?

Accepted Answer

Several of our properties have Hot Tubs. Specific listings will show you that information under Amenities heading on the listing page.

Question 6

Do I need 4WD or AWD in Taos in the Winter?

Accepted Answer

In Taos you can usually get by without the 4WD until we have a bad snow storm once or twice a year. Check the forecast and your listings for clear indications. Taos Ski Valley, Gallina Canyon/Valdez visitors should plan to have 4WD, AWD or at the very least tire chains to travel to their properties and to all guests should have such to drive to Taos Ski Valley between late November and late April. High Alpine environments such as ours are harsh and unforgiving to the unprepared traveler and many of our areas do not have cell coverage.

Can I bring my Slobber Doodle?

Accepted Answer

Dogs (and some other companion animals, please inquire first) are welcome at many of our properties, and are not at some. You can ask for exceptions to bring a pet at some properties, but there are some properties which expressly forbid pets to come as guests due to policies held by the home owners organization, so please make sure you ask about bringing pets if you don't see a pet friendly note on a listing. We do charge pet fees at our discretion for additonal cleaning or risk. We may ask you to purchase the damage protection waiver for an additional $69 per reservation.

Accepted Answer

It is best to ask us specifically about shipping after booking – please don't assume or you'll end up tracking down your package or having it returned.

We can provide alternate shipping addresses for your items if you arrange with us ahead of time.
