    Wonderful Holiday Getaway

    December 31, 2012

    We recently stayed at the Cottonwood Inn over the Christmas holiday and had a great experience. We reserved in the Mirador Room for four nights and loved everything about the room like its kiva fireplace, views of the snow-covered fields, and its spaciousness. Breakfasts were always delicious and varied in selections. And, as animal lovers, we found their rescue efforts enhanced our visit. The inn location also provided easy access to Taos, local sites of interests, and the ski slopes. Shantal and her staff were always helpful and accommodating in every way. Outstanding B&B overall.

    Our relaxing stay at Comfort Inn

    July 25, 2012

    My wife and I recently spent 2 nights at the Goodwins' Cottonwood Inn in Taos. What a wonderful place! The grounds are made up of lush flowering garden growth of all kinds, with numerous hummingbirds to watch. Shantal Goodwin certainly has a green thumb! Throughout the gardens are secluded seating areas, plus a hammock and hanging basket chair, all so very peaceful and restive. We had a second floor very comfortable room, with kitchenette, and our own private outdoor hot tub, where each night we relaxed while viewing the bright starry sky over Taos. The breakfasts prepared by Shantal were truly delicious, including fresh eggs from her own hens,extra thick bacon, and not only homemade biscuits, but homemade jellies and syrups as well, with herb garnish picked fresh from the garden. Excellent accommodations with truly friendly service throughout, we'll certainly be planning a return visit!

    Taos Treat!

    June 18, 2012

    We loved our stay here. Shantal was an excellent host who is clearly passionate about good food, beautiful gardening and providing top-notch comfort. It was a treat to eat her amazing german pancakes with plum sauce while sitting next to her plum tree. Close to Taos, but far away enough to enjoy the quiet. To say the property is "clean" is an understatement -- the entire property smells like sunshine and fresh air. Chickens, emus, llama, and super friendly dogs, and excellent bird watching in the garden provided us with endless entertainment!

    WOW!!!

    December 15, 2011

    I really cannot put into words to describe our experience at The Cottonwood Bed and Breakfast in Taos. The word “amazing” is not sufficient. This was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast. Shantal and Brantly far exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond to make our wedding ceremony and our stay at their home memorable. They will forever be a part of our ceremony and we will forever be grateful for their hospitality. As written in previous reviews, the breakfasts were out of this world! Brantly and Shantal have mastered the culinary arts when it comes to preparing fresh and healthy foods. I was eager every morning to see what the two of them had created. Everything I ate was delicious and satisfying. We stayed in the Mesa Vista room for three nights. The room looked exactly like the picture on the website. The Cottonwood is in a secluded location and was perfect for our intimate ceremony. We did engage in other activities around the town but enjoyed our time the most when we spent it at the bed and breakfast talking to Brantly and Shantal and the other guests at the inn. We plan to make The Cottonwood a regular spot in our future and cannot wait to get back! We cannot thank Shantal and Brantly enough for our experience and their graciousness during our stay. It was a blessing to be guests at their home.

    Awesome stay

    October 18, 2011

    Friends, my wife and I found this charming B&B doing our due diligence...obtaining a list of local B&Bs and visiting individual web sites. We selected the Cottonwood Inn because of the amenities, pictures offered and all the great reviews by their guests. We were not disappointed!! Brantly and Shantal were wonderful hosts; our rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious; and breakfast was most delicious (we had crepes, bacon, fruit, toast, coffee, juice, etc...and...seconds!!!). We enjoyed comfortable shared living spaces, including the dining room, living room with internet access and the outdoor areas with gardens and sitting area. Our room: private, quiet & comfortable. This was a wonderful place to celebrate our anniversary. Eloquent setting, warm and inviting atmosphere convenient location plus all the sites Taos has to offer! Thanks to our hosts for their attention to detail and our needs. We loved your home!!!! Rick & Lisa

    Cottonwood Inn is a wonderful B & B!

    July 29, 2011

    I have been trying to get my husband to stay at a B & B for a long time, and this was the perfect place! The hosts were very friendly, the facilities were very clean, and the food was delicious. We were made to feel welcome in all of the common areas which were decorated with great furniture, and interesting art, games, and an extensive DVD/VCR collection. Sodas and sweets were available in these areas. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, breads, waffles, and eggs from on-site chickens. The hosts treated us like friends, and we will be making reservations here if we ever stay in that area again!

    Excellent Place to Stay!

    July 20, 2011

    My wife and I went biking memorial day weekend & coming back to the hot tub in the Mesa Vista room was perfect. Hosts Brantly & Shantal genuinely make you feel at home. The food was excellent & so was the view. The room was SUPER clean & the bed was really comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
