He and his fiancé asked if my mom and I would take my future niece along for a ride on the Scenic Summer Chairlift. My niece was free since she's only 5-years-old. My adult ticket was $25. It was a long steady ride, but some rain clouds did dump a cold shower on us at the very top. The lift just kept moving along. Lol. Parking was a bit sparce in that area, but there was plenty of spots in the Red River Ski & Summer Area lot. It's a nice, clean area. Many folks were hiking below us. Some were in ATVs. Of course there's lots of shopping and a few restaurants in the area. Red River and other fishing opportunities were nearby. I would be interested to ski here when/if the snow arrives.

Even provided free hot dogs and chips for the family. Super friendly staff! The 7 year old ski school experience was much more impressive than the Buckaroo half day for my 4 year old. Wouldn't recommend that one. 7-12 ski school was amazing. I would recommend skiing here and I'm happy they made it work for the spring breakers despite bad snow conditions.

Siouxzen and I first met at the wedding rehearsal where she skillfully arranged the bridal party and families, then guided the timing of our walk down the aisle. She has a nice style about her and was comfortable getting to know each of us. She also had the foresight to place the bride and the groom at the altar where their "good sides" would best be on display, giving them added confidence for their upcoming big day. So far, so good. On to the day of the wedding, where Siouxzen gracefully handled questions coming from many directions, and in the midst of a bustling event kept the day running seamlessly. Her calm demeanor kept each of our nerves intact, and when it was all over, each of us felt quite happy with how the day played out. Thank you, Siouxzen, for helping our day go so smoothly. I really appreciate your calm expertise!

My boyfriend had a couple other varieties, a red and a white, and they were great too! I appreciate that the wines on the menu had actual descriptions including notes, so it makes it a lot easier to make a choice based on what you'd normally enjoy (or want to try). The service was great and the lady who ran it that night was really sweet.

They have a staff of young adults and teenagers running things, and they are great at interacting with the kids and families. We have attended "boat races", smores & storytelling, nature hikes, and they also have line dancing and I can't remember what else. The boat races (our favorite activity)consist of having the kids (with help from their parents) build "boats" with pieces of scrap lumber, nails, staples & pipe cleaners. They have to paint their boat and name their boat. Then everyone walks over to the river & the boats race. Good Old Fashioned Family Fun!! Have I mentioned ......... There's NO CHARGE for the Community House activities. They do ask for goodwill donations, but it's very low key - no pressure. There's a bulletin board out by the sidewalk with the daily activities listed, and there are plenty of places around town where you can pick up a listing of the activities.

Let me just start by saying that 5 stars are not nearly enough! My mom wanted to celebrate her…read morebirthday in Taos with her closest friends and my sister and I wanted to throw her a special dinner to celebrate. We came across Chef Kualani's page and I am endlessly grateful that we did because the entire process could not have been more perfect. From the very beginning, Kualani was incredibly warm, communicative, and endlessly accommodating. She was open to any requests we had but also came up with the most unbelievable seasonal menu for the dinner (because I had no idea where to start). Dealing with her was a pleasure each and every time and she helped me go through all the details so that nothing was forgotten. And the dinner.... THE DINNER. The food was absolutely incredible. I'm still thinking about her spring pea soup with truffle oil. Every course was fantastic. But Kualani is not just a chef, she is a true hostess. She and her partner Richard came into our AirBnb and handled literally EVERYTHING. She brought beautiful plates and flatware so we didn't have to rely on the AirBnb's stash. She decorated the table. She even made my niece a grilled cheese sandwich while she was prepping. And then, at the end of one of the best meals of my life, they cleaned everything up and left the kitchen better than they found it. Having worked in restaurants and catering for many years, I know first-hand that chefs are not always hospitable. It is a completely different skill set and it's the reason restaurants need a front-of-house staff. But Kualani is the rare exception that is truly capable of curating a perfect evening. She has the most amazing energy and could not have been happier with our entire experience. The dinner absolutely made my mother's birthday and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Amazed at how even the most down to earth dishes are elevated in such a tasteful (elegant AND…read moredelicious) way. Absolutely love the commitment to low waste and locally sourced ingredients.

She was patient with our 15 month old and helped to catch him in some amazing poses! She was great with kids and adults. She asked us personally what we liked and tailored our shoot to that, along with the weather and lighting. When we received the pictures, I literally cried because they were so wonderful. They were so amazing that we actually had one of the portraits of our son painted and it is beyond special to us now and hangs above the mantle in our living room. We could not have asked for a more attentive, kind and patient photographer and if we lived near her, we would use her for all of our family pictures. She is amazing!
