    Beautiful place. Owner was great. We will definitely go back! We visited on a hot day and there was no AC... only a fan. Also, the heater looked old and may be problematic in the winter.

    Disappointing

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The hosts we so accommodating. Very relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyed the mornings sitting outside the room and wandering over to a delicious home style breakfast. The garden and pool area added to the enjoyment. The rooms were comfortable for our stay. Th inn had the charm of old Taos . The only suggestion would be to have a mini fridge available for multi night stay. Not super important as we used a cooler we had for the road trip.

    Location, cleanliness, hospitality everything was great

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Breakfast was good, location was convenient and away from the traffic in the town. Staff was always pleasant and available. The only thing I didn't like were the pillows which were extremely hard and thick.

    The room was very cozy, the host was exceptionally, friendly, and accommodating. The breakfast was amazing. While the room was cozy and decorated beautifully, the room is also outdated. Very few electrical outlets. I never found the coffee maker that I thought was in the room and there is no refrigerator. I never was able to get hot water to come through the bathroom sink.

    Location is perfect, away from Spring Break crowds but easy drive to town. Breakfast amazing as always. Hard to find fresh fruit while traveling! Warm, informative host, roaring fire and Miss Kitty made mornings gentle and sweet. More plugs, outlets for charging devices. Especially near beds.

    An older building that has been nicely refurbished and creatively decorated with a wester theme. A fresh, tasty breakfast is included with homemade breads and a main egg dish.

    Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful 4 night stay and really enjoyed the quaint old time charm of the Inn. Rooms were very nicely decorated and cozy. There is a small stream running behind the building and it's nice to open the back window to let the sound of the babbling stream relax you. There is also an outdoor hot tub to help relax your muscles if you have been skiing at any of the three local resorts that are each within a beautiful, scenic 30 minute drive from the front door of your room. We enjoyed the option to ski all three resorts over our stay and still be able to come back to the Inn each night and have the option to dine anywhere in the city of Taos, rather than being locked down to the limited options at a resort stay. The owners Robert, and Julie were very personable and helpful anytime we had a question about local activities and dining options, and treated us more like friends rather than customers. I don't want to forget to mention the amazing full breakfast included each morning in the main area of the Inn. It is homemade and was always delicious each morning of our stay. If you want a one of a kind, cozy, comfortable, relaxing stay then this is the place for you.

    Welcoming owners, beautiful local decor, hot tub, seasonal pool, great homemade breakfast included with great coffee, picnic tables, singing birds, river sounds, quiet neighborhood, close to town, ample at-unit parking, no stairs, mountain views, tall trees, & Stormy host dog.

  • Engine customer Mar 2016

    We loved the atmosphere, the owners, and the food at the inn. My only suggestion would be to add coffee makers to the rooms or to open the lobby for coffee earlier.

  • Engine customer Feb 2016

    The mattress is so old and uncomfortable, only a dog could maybe get any sleep!

  • Engine customer Jan 2016

    We had a great home cooked breakfast every morning with excellent company. The owners and Stormy - the pet dog - are friendly and made us feel at home. Our room was spotless and the friendly staff always made sure we had what we needed during our week visit. And, the owner was kind enough to lend my wife a jacket because her luggage didn't arrive until three days later. The location is perfect and is just a short drive to everything Taos. We even took a day trip to Santa Fe. Our trip began slow because of the "Stormy Weather" in Texas. But it turned out to be a great vacation. We look forward to staying at The Inn on the Rio during our next visit to Taos because the owners are friendly, the breakfast is excellent, the rooms are clean, the location is perfect and we want to see Stormy again. :)

    If you plan to use the kitchenette -- worth popping over to the Albertson's to buy a few items -- we bought a large pan, chopping board, sharp knife, cooking spoon, dish cloths, paper towels etc. Or bring your own from home. Kitchenette only had crockery and cutlery. Breakfast not up to much and very small crowded room, so we tended to just take stuff back to our room, or make our own.

  • Engine customer Jan 2016

    Heater in the room was weak. Breakfast was homey, but rather basic. No fruit? Cider and fireplace were very nice.
