Casa del Sol - Original Eco Build-Beer Can House!

"Eco-Chic Retreat at Historical Beer Can House!"

Description Summary:
Immerse in eco-conscious living in the heart of Taos County at Casa Del Sol, the historical Beer Can House. With four bedrooms catering to a group of eight, delight in this sustainable haven designed by Earthship visionary, Michael Reynolds. Steps away from famed attractions like Rio Grande Gorge Bridge and Taos Pueblo, a delightful retreat awaits families, eco-enthusiasts, or seasoned travelers looking to tread lightly on Earth while enjoying the tranquility of Taos.

The Space:
Touch down in Taos at Casa Del Sol, a testament to sustainable living with a unique origin, ingeniously constructed with beer and soda cans. Each corner tells a story. With a capacity to house eight guests, its four tastefully furnished bedrooms exude warmth and comfort, forming peaceful sanctuaries for sound slumbers.

The primary suite, a retreat in itself, houses a king-sized bed and comes with a private bath. A bathtub and a revitalizing standalone shower promise soothing solitude, inviting you to unwind. The guest bedrooms echo this inviting ambiance, featuring a charming clawfoot tub in the shared bathroom.

Casa Del Sol makes no trade-off between comfort and its ecological ethos. The living area houses a vintage fireplace, inviting friendly gatherings over warm stories. The kitchen, equipped with modern amenities, inspires the gastronome in you, while our workspace eases the mix of travel and work.

Watch the vibrant hues of New Mexico unfold from the welcoming patio. Ultimate relaxation awaits - just tune into our sound system or choose from our array of board games and let the good times roll.

The house also features a smart lock system for secure access at any hour, free parking on the premises, and a dedicated outdoor space with a BBQ grill to enjoy a meal under the stars.

Guest Access:
Guests will find secure access with our smart lock system, allowing them to arrive at any hour. Parking options are generous, ranging from the carport and garage to the spacious driveway that accommodates all your vehicles. Access extends to both indoor and outdoor spaces, with the private entry allowing intimate moments in the backyard or on the patio. The fire pit is a perfect spot for some star-gazing and marshmallow roasting.

Other Things to Note:
Choosing Casa Del Sol signifies partaking in an environmentally sustainable lifestyle while experiencing the vibrant culture of Taos County. With the property's architectural allure and proximity to local attractions, every moment here aims to enhance your travel experience and leave a lasting impact.

As spring approaches, Taos dresses up in blooming aesthetics, making it an ideal getaway for the upcoming President's Day, Memorial Day, and Independence Day. Picture family barbecues on our patio, hikes to the nearby Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, or exploration of the UNESCO site, Taos Pueblo.

For dining options beyond the home, the nearby KTAOS Solar Center offers a unique experience, or you can relish local flavors near Taos Plaza or Arroyo Seco. The Millicent Rogers Museum, a cultural treasure, is just minutes away.

Also, the spirit of this home asks for noise limits to be respected as an ode to sustainable living. Thank you for supporting us in maintaining the harmony of Casa Del Sol.

Perfect Location

We had a very nice stay for our 18th annual ski trip. The location was perfect, about 1/2 way from Taos Ski Valley and Angel Fire. The house had plenty of room to spread out. Check in and check out was simple. Overall great stay.

A real home. Large and rambling with some history

We were in Taos for a family gathering for my dad’s memorial. The house is a home with history and comfort for a multigenerational group. Large and rambling and full of old Taos charm.

Our second visit and as lovely as the first

My siblings and I gathered to celebrate my father's birthday. The house easily accommodated the six of us, with room around the dining table for other friends. The living room is huge, and we loved sitting in the two courtyards with their mountain views. Perfect!

Great house near Arroyo Seco and Taos Ski

My family of four loved our stay at Casa del Sol. The house is large and very comfortable with great views. Note that there is a treacherous step-down sunken dining room with dark flooring between the entrance and kitchen and it is very easy to wipe out off the edge. It took a few days to get used to it but otherwise this was a great place.

Perfect for two families

This house is large and well equipped. The 8 of us (4 adults, 4 kids ages 7-11) could easily spread out and everyone had a great time. We cooked a few dinners in the kitchen and the kids spent time playing in the yard, even though it was covered in snow. We didn't roam from the property on foot, but it's in a nice neighborhood and close to everything. Great to just head up the road to skj, and a quick drive into town for dinner. The house had everything we needed and we were saying how lovely it would be in the warmer months with the patio and many screen doors to let the breeze in.

This place was huge and well furnished. There were only a few of us during our stay but this property could accommodate 2 families easily. All of the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space. I will book this again for our next trip to Taos.

New Years Getaway

We spent 5 days over New Years here and loved the house. We had plenty of space to relax, play games, and enjoy quality family time. There were enough rooms/ beds for both our families that totaled 7. We enjoyed having 2 ovens to cook for everyone in. It was helpful using the garage and covered parking during the bad weather. Phil, the property manager, was extremely helpful and friendly for all our needs and questions.

Perfect for our needs

Lots of space and bedroom arrangements were great. The only thing a person should be aware of is there is a sunken dining room which if you have older folks or you are coming inside from daylight and are not familiar with the space you could trip...we caught it in time for the guests we were afraid of falling and it worked out fine from then on.

Spring break 2022

This property was prefect for us! Two families - 4 adults, 2 college students and 2 kiddos. We enjoyed the layout so much! Alcoves to relax with beautiful views from every window. Location to the Taos ski area and distance to town worked for us . The house gives you such a feeling of family with some many memories made and many more to come! Splendid stay!

What a cool place

This is such a unique place to stay. The rooms are interesting and there are plenty of nooks to disappear to or places to get together. For directions, as stated in the check-in notice for VRBO (which we read poorly) follow the written directions and don’t try to Google map it. Tons of parking. The area is great. The sky was clear the night we arrived and you can see more stars than pretty much anywhere. The drive to town is quick and the drive up to Taos to ski is short enough (leave by 8 on weekends, especially powder days). We loved it and would definitely stay again.
