The house was very clean and comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch enjoying the weather and the peacefulness about the place.
The kitchen is stocked nicely for cooking.

I had a friend tell us about this cute cabin in Angel Fire. We wanted to do our due diligence and looked up past guest reviews. I hesitated because it seemed like there was an ongoing problem with the hot water heater. My friend contacted the owner and was told that when they replaced it, it was a defective item. They then replaced that unit and all is now well. I respect my friend and so I decided to book. Everything turned out great. There were six of us and we never had any problems with the water heater or anything else for that matter, plenty of hot water for all of us. I am glad they got that fixed.
Check in was easy and we did not need to see anyone in person.
We enjoyed the deer that come on the property each day. We were prepared with some deer feed. It was a fun time having them eat from your hand, or little bowl.
We were at a family reunion in Taos and although it was a little drive between the two, it was really worth the drive up into the cool mountains. We stopped by the lake just up the road where there were lots of Canada geese and people fishing. I am not sure what the rules are there, if you need a license etc., but it looked fun. It looks like you can rent a kayak there.
We are not mountain bikers, but I guess they use the chair lifts to take mountain bikes up to the top of the mountain and then they ride down to the bottom. It looks like fun if you know what you are doing. I suspect they rent bikes as well for that. We were there to relax not recreation, but it is nice to have options.
Anyway we had a great stay, no issues, just lots of fun. We liked the western decor. You can tell the owners must like horses.
We plan to stay here next time we return.

I booked based on previous reviews and this cabin is in line with what you read. It's a great layout for families with the 2 queen rooms down and master/loft upstairs (loft/office came in very handy). At 1700 sq feet its just the right amount of space, the kitchen is laid out well with an open concept that allows parents to cook and maintain view of kids/tv/guests.
Location: This cabin is ideal in the winter as this is in the valley and roads and driveway are mostly flat. It is located in a terrific neighborhood with each cabin/home sitting on 1/2 acre or more lots so it feels very private. It snowed numerous times during our stay and with AWD we had no problems. The driveway is privately plowed quickly following snow storms, Morgan the plow driver was even nice enough to allow me to move my car so he could completely clean off the driveway.
Mechanical: Central heat is a must in winter and this one worked great, we were able to stay very comfortable. The toilets and plumbing get clogged too easily, so be aware. Water heater is newish but randomly turns off (becomes unlit) so you can easily relight using the modern thermostat. The cabin has fairly new vinyl windows that kept things comfortable even on sub zero nights which we had a couple of during out stay.
Summary: Its not fancy but this cabin has lots of Pros, I would stay here again and recommend it for most people with reasonable expectations. It's one of the best values in Angel Fire in my opinion.

Saw past issues no hot water. Assumed it was fixed. Stayed (4nights, 5 days) After arrival, my brother, certified plumber checked the water, no hot water! Called the # to get the issue addressed.
Were told the prior guest had the same issue, but they were able to get enough hot water for a quick shower. She said to boil water for showers. We had 4 adults and two kids aged 5 and 1. No way was that going to work! Rep. told us she would refund us half our money. We should have known about this issue prior to arrival. She said the owner from Texas was going to bring a new tank over the weekend. My brother offered to help install if the owner could get it quickly.
Next day, rep. called. Reiterated we have no hot water to shower, wash dishes, wash clothing, or wash our hands. The rep said she had the authority to provide a full refund. With that said we thought okay we can make it work.
Left on Sunday morning. On Monday I looked at our statement and we were only refunded $114.00! That’s not even one day stay at that place. Needless to say, we were not happy. I called the rep but at no surprise no answer. I sent her a text message and she replied that she did everything she could and to not be rude. I said you lied to us; we want our money. I also received automated text messages about our stay and provided the details in which I was told there would be a report submitted. This all happened on 3/18/2024. As of today 4/2/2024, we have received no answer and no additional refund.

I asked if there were pots and pans thdy said no, there were. I asked about firewood they said no, there was firewood. Almost everything I asked about they (Vacasa) said no to but was there in the cabin.

We loved the layout of the cabin, great location to the ski resort, very comfortable and very well stocked. Loved having 2 downstair bedrooms for those who don't handle stairs so well. We would highly recommend this cabin... HOWEVER, we had NO HOT water on the 2nd day of our stay. I reached out to the service number who responded immediately in text that someone from the local staff would come to resolve the issue. NO ONE EVER CAME, in spite of my calling and sending texts 4 times that day and the next day. Each time they'd respond, "we will surely reach out to you for updates regarding the hot water issue." Hot water is a basic necessity in the winter time. We ended up leaving a day early. Very frustrating that no one ever followed up with us.

Our family of 5 for perfect! The location to the slopes was incredible. The home was stocked with everything you’d need-spices, pancake mix, coffee, etc. it’s even prettier in person. We got lots of snow while visiting and that made it even better! Thanks so much for opening up your home for us! We will be back!

Great clean cabin. The upstairs master was perfect for my wife and me. The downstairs bedroom worked great for my parents (in their 70s). The kitchen was well stocked. The cabin is conveniently located in Angelfire, just 2-3 minutes from the ski base.

Had a great time and truly enjoyed the house. It had everything we needed and some. We saw a bear running through the back yard and fed deer off the deck!

4.5 stars for the property. I agree with most of the other reviews. The property was cozy, clean and comfortable and in a great location. Communicating with the property mgr was horrible. They provided nothing but canned responses and empty promises but no follow through. They never got the hot water fixed.

We had such a wonderful gateway! My family enjoyed the deer outside our porch! The only issue we had is the water heater went out on Saturday afternoon!

Wonderful Christmas
Beautiful area with well house layout and. Setting. Only problem when had was we carried to many items with us. Need a better method of listing items. Really would have helped in the kitchen. I phoned the property manger about what was available and she was to get back to me. Not one word, so we arrived with many unnecessary items.

40th Anniversary
The house was clean and well appointed, and in a quiet area. We loved the fireplace and the porch. Although it was a little chilly to sit outside for too long it was very relaxing watching the birds and deer from the porch. The fire made the cool evenings very cozy comfortable. . The wood bin was well stocked. and the kitchen was large and very functional. we cooked most of our meals at the cabin. We were very pleased with the accommodations and are planning our next trip to Angel Fire and will try to stay at the Painted Pony Cabin when we visit .

OUTSTANDING!!
I've stayed at many rentals in Angel fire but this had to be the most enjoyable. GREAT cozy home surrounded by wildlife but what was especially pleasing is the home had EVERYTHING we needed to cook, clean and sleep with. Hats off to the owner who has offered guests everything they need for a truly enjoyable stay...

Perfect Cabin
It was our first trip to Angel Fire and the Painted Pony Cabin did not disappoint. The size of the cabin was perfect. My OCD self loved all the organization and the way they had labels on everything with directions and where to find stuff. The location was so close to the moutain and I would highly recommend and we cannot wait to go back outselves.

Better than expected
A charming property located in a great location. The cabin was clean and had plenty of space. Near the ski slopes. Would love to visit during the spring or summer so we could enjoy the deck. It was too cold outside when we went. Our only regret was not staying longer.

New Year Ski Trip
My family of five had an excellent experience at Angel Fire in the Painted Pony Cabin. The up-stairs master bedroom was very nice and our three daughters we able to each have a room by one staying upstairs on the futon couch. We have been to Angel Fire many times and partially picked this home due to the location. The driveway is large enough for 2 cars and there is no surprise steep driveways that can occur at other homes. Excellent home and excellent location for skiing.

Week Away
We were so very pleasantly surprised with how well supplied this cabin was! There was nothing that we needed that was not there. A list of what is in their beautifully stocked kitchen would be of benefit on the listing.
Communication with Vcassa was not great. I sent them several questions, none of which were answered until we were halfway through out trip. They send out lots of automated information that is very helpful, but their response to specific questions needs work.

Perfect Home Away from Home
We love The Painted Pony. It is super comfortable and well appointed. There is literally everything you could need in the kitchen. The location is convenient, but still feels remote. Early risers may see the elk!
I did try twice to contact the property manager through the Vacasa app and never received a response. It wasn’t the end of the world, but communication would have been nice. This is why the overall star rating is 4 and not 5. The property itself deserves 5 stars.
We had a fantastic time.

Wonderful in the winter!
We stayed here in winter when the temperature dropped to -14 (Fahrenheit). The house was always comfortably warm - so no problems there! There were 7 of us, and there was plenty of space for us to enjoy. While they call it a cabin, this is really a nice sized home for us to enjoy our vacation in.
The driveway, and neighborhood road off of the highway, was snowpacked, but we didn't have a problem with our 2WD vehicles. Nor, getting to and from the resort dropoff areas (both the kids and regular skier areas).
The house is decorated with horse paraphernalia, which is wonderful for the horse lover in our family. She definitely wants to come back here. One thing to note - the owners keep a covered firewood pile behind the house, which I wish we would have realized before buying a bunch from the local store. The fireplace really topped off the evenings for us.

Three nights at the painted pony
My parents and I had a great stay for a few days in Angel Fire at the Painted Pony. The space was great! Directions to use the TV, fire, and WiFi were provided. It was close to the main roads and not far from the ski resort, lakes, hiking trails. I did find some of the extra fees to be higher than I would have liked, but for the size/location I would say the stay is worth it--especially if you have a group of 4-5 and/or have a longer stay. I will consider staying again in the future.
