About this property

Spectacular views of the Taos Mountains

This charming traditional-style adobe home with viga ceilings, wood burning fireplace, and a flagstone covered patio, sits on a hilltop offering expansive views of the Taos Mountains and the Wheeler Peak range. Located just 5 miles from the Taos town center, this comfortable and quiet family home is only minutes away from restaurants, shopping and local attractions. The Taos ski valley, which is only 13 miles away, offers a multitude of outdoors activities year-round.

Custom Saltillo tiled radiant heated floors in the living areas and bathrooms provide warmth in the winter months. In the summer months, the interior remains cool because of self-insulating adobe exterior walls.

A modern kitchen comes fully equipped with dishwasher, oven/range, refrigerator, microwave, blender, toaster, coffeemaker, pots, pans, and tableware. Six guests can comfortably dine at the custom-carved table with a large window wall view of the Taos Mountain. Your group will want to take turns with their seating arrangements to enjoy the gorgeous view!

A charcoal grill is located right outside the dining area on a separate flagstone patio. A patio table and chairs are located under the front portal with sweeping views of the Mountains.

The front bedroom contains a king-size bed and a window wall with the same sweeping mountain view. The second bedroom contains a queen-sized bed with one double window and is tucked into the hillside for a quiet, restful sleep.

The gathering room (living room) has a Spanish wood-burning fireplace that beckons all to come together to visit, laugh, read, play table games, or watch cable TV. A full-size sofa opens into a queen-size bed.

The viga ceilings are throughout the house and bring an ambiance that draws folks from far and wide who seek the Taos experience within a southwestern adobe home.

3 Nights around Taos

2 adult couples spent 3 nights at this property and each couple had their own bedroom. All appliances and the TV worked as expected. There's a full bath plus a small toilet room. We made use of the Weber charcoal grill. Though it's technically located in El Prado, the property is only a few minutes from Taos proper and is an easy drive to the historic sections of town. The neighbor we met was very friendly. There's parking for 2 cars right next to the house. Everyone in our little group would be happy to stay there again.

Painters’ Paradise’s

A fellow artist and I stayed here in early October. The views are stunning and the area surrounding the home and neighborhood are very scenic. The Chamisa were in full bloom and clouds coming and going over the mountain added plenty of visual excitement to our painting days. The home is lovely and quite comfortable. The closets, however, were stuffed with other things leaving little room to hang our clothes. The corners and behind the doors could benefit from a mindful vacuuming. Other than these things, we were enormously pleased and will hopefully be able to return to stay in this lovely little casa.

Beautiful home in a stunning location

This home was perfect for a little family get-together. The home was nicely decorated and comfortable, and I enjoyed having a full kitchen at my disposal. The best part is by far the location; it is close enough to the center of town to be convenient. It also is in a really quiet neighborhood with low lights, that allow you to feel very quiet, and it gives you an incredible view of the mountains and stars (milk way included!)

Comfortable home near Taos

My sisters and I rented this property to spend some time together in the Taos area. It was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with many basic supplies. The patio was a great place to sit in the evening or to enjoy the sunrise. Submit

Simply Fabulous

The casita is spacious, with high ceilings, with Southwest décor throughout and plenty of room to entertain or just be casual. The views from the many full -length windows is spectacular. Don't miss the sunrise behind the mountain in the early AM! When friends, who rented near-by B&Bs came for dinner, they were amazed at what a great place we had found. Do set the thermostat early as it does take a long while to warm up.
