I stayed at the Cottage Lodge for 2 nights during a recent skiing trip to Taos. I arrived at the lodge, but there was no office. The cleaning crew told me to head up the road to the Alpine office 1.5 miles away. I did and could not find it. I returned and followed the cleaning crew to the office in Taos Ski Valley. I checked in without difficulty. The Cottam Lodge is separate from main hotel and there are no services. There were several nice features. I was able to store my skis at the main hotel and put my boots on there, leaving my shoes with the desk. The room at the Cottage Lodge was adequate. Fully equipped kitchen, bathroom recently remodeled with nice shower and a comfortable bed. Room was a mixture of 1970-80 decor with some more modern updates. Functional for a couple. There was snow during my visit and climbing up and down the unshoveled steps with suitcases was somewhat challenging. Parking is immediately in front. There is a hot tub that I did not use. One other item: the Cottam Lodge is almost at 9000 feet. If you are coming from sea level, you might consider staying at a lower altitude (perhaps in Taos) as sleeping at that altitude was challenging. All in all a reasonable stay at a reasonable price with great snow conditions at Taos.
