Very clean, comfortable, roomy and well stocked!. The only thing you need to bring is food and clothing. Many needed items are provided, unlike other properties i have rented. Gail is very responsive to any questions. It is quiet and secluded but close enough to everything with a short drive. It has beautiful views and an expansive porch. I hope to come back and stay in this home again.

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).

Beautiful Taos Home

This is a wonderful place to stay near Taos, relax on the patio, and hang out with family and friends. The covered patio is a highlight, along with the upper balcony and big kitchen.

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.
