Dear Guests:
Check-in and afternoon refreshments are from 4pm - 6pm.
Don't lose these directions! There are no street lights or public
telephones in the rural areas of Taos (the closest
is 6 miles away) nor do cell phones operate reliably.
To check-in prior to 4pm, call us early in the day to
confirm that we will be here and that your room will be ready. We
often run errands or have a class in the afternoon hours prior to the
arrival period.
Call us if you'll be arriving after
6pm.
We are happy to facilitate an arrival time at your convenience. If you are
arriving after 6 pm, please call us in advance at 800-334-8467 or
505-776-8467 to let us know. Unannounced late check-ins can be
frustrating for visitors to Taos since there are no street lights or public
telephones in the rural areas (the closest
is 6 miles away) nor do cell phones operate reliably.
On occasion, we may have dinner plans. If we know you are
arriving after 6 pm, we can leave a key packet with directions to your room
in the basket hanging to the right of the front door.
