“A Magical Space”
“What a magical space to celebrate the good things in life! Siouxzen, Tamara, Ian and the entire staff were a joy to work with. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to experience northern NM. We are trying to think of another excuse to book this place again :).”

“Loved it”
“When you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taos and have an excellent meal or brunch at the same time, this is the quintessential spot in Taos, great cocktails, great wine. Loved it.”

“They made the day of the event stress-free so we could enjoy ourselves.”
“My partner and I were somewhat nervous about hosting our “non-wedding marriage party” at the Stakeout site unseen, but it was everything we could have asked for and more. Meg, James, Kevin, and the rest of the staff were so thoughtful throughout the planning process and put huge effort into realizing the desert house party of our imagination. They made the day of the event stress-free so we could enjoy ourselves, and the food was totally unforgettable (partially because our guests will never let us forget…). Anyone would be lucky to spend time at the beautiful property and work with such a great group.”
