About this property

Mountains in Your Face

Come enjoy the glorious views of Taos Mountain and the Sangre de Cristo Range from Luna Vista just outside Taos.. Summer is coming on so book for this popular season of warm days and cool nights. There is lots to do in the area. Visit Taos Pueblo, eat at any number of excellent restaurants or shop around the Plaza. Or, stay home and relax in attractive Southwestern surroundings and comfort. The house, patio and hot tub all have stunning views. The kitchen is large and well-equipped. The house sleeps five, depending on family/friends preferences. Sleeping features are a bedroom with a massive king sleigh bed and another room with two queens. The sofa pulls out to a queen in the living room as well. The house is built with traditional viga (beam) ceilings and tile floors, and sports furniture built for comfort. There is original Southwestern art work on the walls and a cozy TV nook with recliners off the living room. The banquet-style dining room table is great for entertaining but the home encourages intimate get-aways as well. Keep us in mind and we hope to see you soon. Please note that the $160 per night rental fee covers two people. Additional guests are $20 per person per night.

Great location and great house! Had everything we needed.

Wonderful VRBO! We were greeted upon arrival and had a lovely tour. We cooked several dinners in, and the kitchen had every amenity we needed. Living, dining and bedtooms are huge and spacious, plenty of towels, and the hot tub was a great treat after skiing. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!!!

Perfect

My husband and I wanted to get away for alittle R&R. House had beautiful views, had everything we needed. Very quiet area and don’t be put off by speed bumps(not a big deal) and the little bit of gravel road is smooth and not an issue.Love the southwestern vibe.

Taos with Mountain Views

House with wonderful mountain views in two directions. Once we got our bearings, location was easy to get to and to get to downtown Taos area. House was very comfortable with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Ample space to relax in living and dining rooms. Kitchen had all appliances one would need. Since we stayed a full month, we settled in nicely. Property manager greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the property. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Sally Ooms

Host profile image
After a career as a print journalist, I wrote a non-fiction book at the casita on the property I now call home. The book is called Finding Home: How Americans Prevail. A native of Kansas City, I have lived in New Mexico for almost 25 years. I moved briefly to San Francisco in 2011, and then to the California Delta 2013, after an extensive book tour. I owned and ran an art gallery and store in Isleton, CA, for four years. Now, when my husband, dog and I are not at 30A Valerio Rd. North in Taos, we are traveling the country in our retro Winnebago Brave.
At home and during travels, I am working on a novel, and sketching and painting the countryside we pass through.



























Why they chose this property

The mountains and quality of light found in and around Taos have become part of my soul. I love the organic feel of an adobe house. Plus I am a sucker for a view. That's why I chose my particular viewing spot. The sunrises and sunsets always delight. Watching the moon rise from the portal is magic.
