A wrap around verandah with a patio heater or upstairs deck provide great places to see unobstructed views of the incredible Taos sunsets and mountains. The large sunroom can also be used as a mud room.

The upstairs master bedroom and bathroom have 8 foot windows providing fantastic views of the mountains from both the bedroom and bathroom. Sit in the 7 foot steam shower and gaze at the views. Newly tiled with a granite countertop. The bedroom is cozy with berber carpet and amazing views from the bed. Satellite TV in room. There is a large room/closet which has a fold out full size futon

On the downstairs, one bedroom has a queen bed, satellite flat screen TV and private bathroom. Another bedroom has a king bed with satellite TV and a bathroom that is also accessed from the kitchen area. The third bedroom has a queen bed. One couch in the living room folds out to a double bed.

The house is wonderful and the views are spectacular. A true hidden treasure

Wonderful location just five minutes from downtown. Very spacious and the house handled our crew of 8 with ease. Very private setting with tons of hummingbirds and wildlife right in your 5 acre backyard. Great family stay

Nice for the area

The house is very nice for the surrounding area. The living room could use AC to help cool the house down a little more. The bedrooms were very spacious and nice. The area is real quiet.

Was there for wedding. Fit 8 of us comfortably. Loved the ranch style rustic feel. Close to town. Clean and spacious. Could use A/C in living room, but all rooms had their own. Host very helpful and quick to respond. Upstairs suite had no door to bathroom but no big deal. Overall stay was very enjoyable.

Very accomodating and charming/easy digs for our small adult tribe in early fall. Despite the following details, we had a marvelous time, everyone pleased with my choice. A few electric glitches and the wish that vegetation was trimmed in order to see sunsets. Much of outdoor seating unusable. Wanted to give the big picture windows a wash.

Anniversary Week

We stayed for a week to celebrate our anniversary. The location and proximity to town and other activities was great. We loved the view and the wrap-around porch. It was our labradoodle's first trip to the mountains and she was enthralled with the property. The kitchen was well stocked, too. Several nice amenities (like filtered water and nice appliances).

Restful

We all needed a break from heat and the grind. This was perfect. Everybody had plenty of space and quiet beauty yet town was within minutes. Gorgeous mornings and evenings on porch. Very comfy beds and seating for everyone. Room to deal with two babies.

A Peaceful and Beautiful Location

This was a beautiful and rustic home and setting. Just far enough out of town to be quiet and peaceful. The porch was amazing, especially at sunset. Plenty of room to relax, cook, eat and enjoy. Excellent choice for our Taos family gathering.

perfect getaway with friends

The property was amazing as was the setting. We were in a pretty rural setting that was quiet and encouraged long walks and wine on the patio as the sun went down. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils which made cooking and eating-in very enjoyable. Absolutely no complaints about the house, the setting or the host. All was superb.

Perfect house, perfect spot!

We had the best stay in Taos thanks to Gail's lovely home! To start, the property is spacious and private. There are spectacular views in every direction while being conveniently located to Taos plaza. The home has all the essentials you might need and more. Plus, Gail was a great host! She provided wonderful recommendations and made the check in/out process super easy. We will definitely be back!

Very spacious home and property. Everything you need is provided. Clean. Upper Deck and porch is a plus with great views. Everyone in our party reported the beds were comfortable. Gail was willing to work with us on our early arrival and very responsive during our stay. Drive into town is about 5 minutes.

Great long weekend as the 4 of us gathered from across the US! The house was perfect for relaxing and close enough to see everything we wanted to see. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use. The bedrooms were comfortable and roomy. Gail was there when we arrived most helpful in answering questions and making sure we had everything we needed. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Perfection!

Our group went to Taos to commemorate the first anniversary of a family member's death, since northern NM was one of his favorite, most inspiring places to visit. Gail's house provided the perfect setting for a contemplative memorial trip. The house itself is beautiful and inviting, and is situated on an expansive plot of land that captures so much of what makes Taos spiritual and special. Everything about the house was wonderful: the well-stocked kitchen, the lovely furnishings, the sunroom, the wrap-around porch, the upstairs deck, the location -- and the views. We also got to meet Gail, and she's so charming and welcoming. I highly and enthusiastically recommend her casa!

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Property Manager

Host profile image
I was born in Perth, Western Australia and moved to Taos when I learned and became hooked on skiing. Taos is a wonderful ski area in that it is challenging and the people are very friendly. After initially spending only winters in Taos, I soon realized that Taos is a wonderful place year round. I love to hike and mountain bike with friends and my dog Lilly.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property not only because the house had a nice floor plan, but because it sits on a large piece of land, close to town with amazing views as it sits up on a hill overlooking the town of Taos. It has a lot of trees, both natural and that I planted which thrive due to an acaquia that runs through the property providing lots of water in the spring and summer. It did take a lot of renovating, love and decorating to get the house and the gardens to the state they are in today.

What makes this property unique

My house will feel more like a home than a rental as I use it often for friends and family, so it has nice furnishings, bedding and will have most things you would need at your own home. As the house sits on a hill overlooking Taos to the west, the sunsets are amazing and it is great to enjoy them from the wrap around verandah. It is great to stay at such a private spot yet be just minutes from town. Come enjoy my piece of Taos paradise.
