About the host
Hosted by James and Monica Smits
James & Monica Smits are the owners of Aspen Traders in Leadville, CO. Both of us grew up in Colorado and have fond memories of coming to Taos as children. We are inspired by the foods, fashion, arts & culture of Northern New Mexico. James has been a potter for over 40 years and continues to work gradually, focusing primarily on stoneware functional ware. Much of the work in the Taos hacienda kitchen is made by James. Monica puts her creative energy into designing our stores and living spaces. Color and light are her inspiration.
Why they chose this property
This house sits on a large lot near undeveloped Taos Pueblo lands so it is generally very quiet (unless there is a concert in Kit Carson Park, which is fun in a different way). You are close enough to walk to the Adobe Bar at the Taos Inn for their famous Margaritas and Free Live Music every night of the year (take a small flashlight, the lane can be dark). This property is only a block away from Mable Dodge Luhan house (Dennis Hopper's Mud Palace) where you might enjoy getting brunch (reservations required). My favorite aspect of the house is watching birds, bunnies and prairie dogs while the clouds float over the mountains all around.
