Shady Brook Inn Village/Resort

The beds/mattresses are all very uncomfortable. The couch with the sleeper sofa are both very uncomfortable.. There is Wi-Fi and internet but we had no cell phone service. There is no restaurant/cafe. It’s all boarded up and has been for awhile. Where we parked and walking up the stairs to the entrance were slippery with ice. The kitchen was wonderful and Vernon had provided bagels, fruit, and juice with a birthday cake. Vernon is a delight. Everything was very clean. We felt that since the resort is for sale the owners are just not putting anymore money in to it. We will not be going back.

I had an amazing stay at Shady Brook Inn. Vernon made our stay so special. He even welcomed us with a birthday cake and bottle of wine for my boyfriend who was celebrating his birthday. The Inn was in a wonderful location. Our unit was beautiful and very comfortable. I would highly recommend the Shady Brook Inn :)

Joe and I have never had a better welcoming as we did at Shady Brook. Vernon was waiting for us to arrive outside and greeted us with a smile and handshake. Vernon even put”Welcome Joe and Rhonda”on the sign outside the hotel. That has never happened to us EVER and we travel all over the U.S. The room was spotless and so comfortable to spend the weekend. Thank you for your hospitality. We can’t wait to come back.

Very nice people and beautiful views around property.

We have family that lives near Shady Brook Inn and Resort, and after driving by the property many times, we finally booked a three-day weekend in the Enchantment Suite. The Suite, a one-bedroom, was larger than we expected, with a cathedral-style ceiling, private washer-dryer, full kitchen, and ample outlets, with plenty of room in the dining/living area to use the fold-out sofa bed without impeding use of the area. There is generally weak or no cell service in Taos Canyon, which Shady Brook's excellent wi-fi remedies, and while there is no need for air conditioning at this elevation we used one of the several fans available during an unusually warm afternoon (before the evening cool-down). We have known that the property itself is lovely and the location, situated in Taos Canyon between Taos and Angel Fire, is ideal for accessing the area and stunningly beautiful, but we were blown away by Vernon's warm hospitality as host, unparalleled in our travel experience. I see now from other reviews, which I hadn't consulted before booking, that Vernon's hospitality is consistently shared with all guests. We cannot wait to return and will not make the mistake again of booking anywhere else!
