Expansive and quiet property
The property was surprisingly large vs the impression from the pictures with loads of sitting and lounging areas. It was quite cluttered with the owner's things - extra linen and towels, books, ornaments etc - which some people would like as homely; our preference would have been for a bit more pared-back. Some basic kitchen utensils were a bit thin on the ground (forks). Overall, however, very pretty and the main shower was amazing!!
The oven was not working properly - and my impression was that this was a long term problem. Initially we were told not to use - then when we persisted that we needed, the owner came round to show us how to twiddle with the knobs and timers to get it 'sort of' working. We had been going to use the BBQ and pizza oven instead, but this was impossible because BBQ had been built without protection to the strong winds and there was no pizza shovel.
There was a problem with a strong sewage smell from the toilet into the patio. The owner very rapidly got someone to fix this when we flagged it to her - and overall was very responsive to the problems we had.
Tiscamanita and the property itself is a bit in the middle of nowhere - made it very quiet which was great, but a bit of a drive to reasonable shops etc. We used the surrounding trails for running, which were fine, with no cars, if not particularly lovely to look at.
