Reviewer Comments: My family and I have held our annual reunion at Scrabble House for several years. Gary at Premiere makes the rental process easy. Terra had the place in excellent shape on our arrival. We were pleased seeing so many upgrades this year. New dishwasher, new flooring in one of the bedrooms, fresh paint in several areas, a new dishwasher, new pots and pats. These all added to the joy of our stay. Needing attention are the windows in the casita. The opening/closing mechanisms on all the windows have been broken for many years. As there is no A/C, the broken window cranks make it difficult to regulate the temperature in the casita on warmer days. ##### Richard A. ### 8/10 Good #### Roger J. 6 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyable Family Time Our family of 8 had an enjoyable time at the Scrabble House.

Comfortable rooms, plenty of room to stretch out, huge kitchen for cooking, and the outdoor space is amazing. Awesome views. The property manager was great to work with. This is a great vacation home for a large family or a few couples, as each bedroom in the main house has its own bathroom. ##### Dave S.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We selected this property for a reunion with 5 couples. Each of us has reached the point where King beds are really a necessity, not just a preference. This property has 5 bedrooms and 5 king beds. Two bedrooms share a bath in the guest cottage. There are three bedrooms with en suite baths and another full bathroom in the hallway. Although not fancy, the accommodations are very nice, comfortable and southwestern in style. I love the copper counter in the kitchen and the large dining table. We lacked nothing! There are plenty of supplies in the cabinets, whether spices or hot chocolate. It felt like home within an hour of unpacking. Located outside of Taos, about halfway to the ski area, it was quiet and offered unlimited star gazing. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else, if I was traveling to this area, with a group again. ##### Wendy O.

The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a lousy place to rent. It wasn't kept up at all. They advertised a pool which was incredibly small. It was broken also so we couldn't use it. The guest house had both living and dead rodents in it. When we called to ask for help with it, we got no response. The bath mats were disgusting. They were old and some had dried toothpaste on them. I would certainly not recommend renting this place at all. ##### Stacy C.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This year marked at least seven times that my family rented the Scrabble for our annual family reunion. We had nine adults this year. Plenty of room in the main house for cooking, talking, and relaxing. Great WiFi. Was able to log into the TV with my streaming account to access entertainment. The kitchen is well equipped. In the main house, the evaporative cooler worked well on the hot days we had in July. The property was clean and well-maintained. Terra, the property manager, was wonderful to work with. She was communicative and checked in on us by text message on occasion to make sure we had everything we needed. I would rate the property with five stars across the board, however the casita could still use some work. It is difficult to cool it down to a comfortable sleeping temperature (daily highs were about 90 degrees) until about midnight. There is a portable evaporative cooler in the casita and the windows have been repaired to where they open effectively. But it would be great if this situation could be improved. ##### Richard A. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jocelyn B. 24 Aug 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Property in Disrepair! Upon arrival, the keypad on the front door did not work. There was trash and cigarette butts throughout the outside grounds of the property. There were a number of maintenance issues as follows Main House: Missing plastic shower curtain in guest bathroom Dead bugs throughout Spiderwebs throughout Broken sink & shower drain in front bathroom Broken towel rack in back bathroom No kitchen sponges to wash dishes Loose doorknob in 4th bathroom, unable to open/close the door Casita: No kitchen garbage can Broken window in the casita door,shattered glass shards Broken window crank in kitchen & bathroom window Leaking Fridge Dead bugs throughout Broken Lampshade in bedroom Loose doorknob to bathroom Broken light switch in main living space In addition to the above, the following items are advertised though did not work: TVs did not have cable access as advertised, Casita swamp cooler was barely able to provide some cool air in the main living space Main House swamp cooler can only cool kitchen/living space, not entire home While attempting to remediate during our stay, we learned that nearly the entire list of issues were KNOWN prior to our arrival. As shared, I had hoped to remediate with the homeowners and unfortunately, it took well over a week after check out to receive a two sentence response that “They (homeowners) also feel that Terra (house manager) has given a valid explanation for each of the items.” ##### Jocelyn B.

Reviewer Comments: Thwew were 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 teenagers. The house worked like a dream. The little house worked great for teenagers and main house had spacious kitchen and family room. Kitchen well stocked. Description accurate, property very cleaned and maintained. Was a delight. ##### Debra M.
