About this property

Enjoy Spectacular 360-degree Views at "Mesa Magic" 3BR/2BR

Enjoy breathtaking, 360-degree views of the spectacular Sangre de Cristo Mountains and New Mexico skies! The patio offers unparalleled “starry, starry nights” from a gorgeous spa!!  Sipping a glass of wine around the fire pit table is the perfect way to enjoy the amazing experience of a Taos sunset along with a steak on the Weber grill.

This home is indeed special and unique!  It is a creatively-designed Quonset home featuring 18-ft ceilings with a windowed-wall to make your visual experience unforgettable! Southwestern art and rugs add warmth, color and charm as you enjoy the peace and relaxation of the mesa. The French doors of the master bedroom open to the sunroom and its patio doors open to the outdoor patio and spa. The adjoining master bath is spacious, including a washer and dryer. In recent years a second bedroom, large bath, and sitting area have been added, creating a private “suite” for family members or friends. There is a third bedroom in a lofted area.

The casa features an awesome, fully-equipped, gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, including a gas stove.

The house has high-speed internet and three smart TVs with updated DVRs, one in each of two bedrooms and one in the open-living room area.

Mesa Magic is secluded along historic, unpaved Stagecoach Road (now Tune Drive) 2 ¼ miles from the highway. Although on the mesa, away from it all, it is located only ten minutes from Taos, home of fabulous restaurants and wonderful art galleries. Thirty minutes down the road is the world-class Taos Ski Valley with its dramatic slopes and beautiful mountain hiking trails. The Taos Box is world-famous for white water rafting and trout fishing. Golfers will love the Taos Country Club course, designed by Jack Nicklaus.

Great stay!

We loved this home for our honeymoon! We didn’t want to be close to other people, and wanted a nice and quiet stay, and that’s exactly what we got. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Loved the hot tub as well.

Great stay in Taos!

We enjoyed our stay at Mesa Magic! Super-cool house with lots of art and character. Felt right at home. Loved the sense of being both away-from-it-all and short drive to the slopes and downtown at the same time. Recommend!

amazing mountain views

The house has an amazing layout and the kitchen is well-equipped. There is plenty of space for a group to spread out. But could have used more screens to keep the outside out. The location is close to main attractions, but surrounded by dirt roads, sage brush, and scrub brush, which is typical of much of NM. We did enjoy our stay. Recommend a tour of the Earthship colony.

Beautiful Place

We had a wonderful time. The property was beautiful and quite. Property management was responsive when we had a question about a stray 3 legged dog around the property. The hot water did stopped working Friday night and never came back on. But other than that we did enjoy our stay. We would book again.

Outstanding views!

Beautiful property. Very homey and comfortable. Wonderful bed in the master bedroom. Heating was slightly awkward given that it's a bunch of space heaters, but in general, it was fine. Only recommendation for the owner is to consider better/more curtains to allow for less sunlight in the morning. Delightful hot tub. Spectacular views! Rough road getting to the property, but once you're there, it's a great place! I highly recommend!

Our honeymoon

We absolutely loved this property and our stay! When we arrived the property manager had some roses and a bottle of wine for us for our honeymoon, such a thoughtful gesture. Kelly responded very quickly when we had questions. The views were unbelievable and the hot tub was our favorite part. The only thing was because it is in the middle of nowhere there are little critters like mice. We know being from Colorado that this is to be expected given the location, so it didnt bother us as much as it might bother others. We definitely will return for another visit in the future! Thanks!

Here's the deal:

You don't need me to tell you that the place is wonderful and the views amazing -- the photos do that. It's been a long time since my husband and I have done extensive travel and used VRBO, but this house ticked all the boxes for us. It's very private and very quiet. The house is large with two full baths. It was very clean when we arrived. But here's what I truly loved the most: it has tons of towels and blankets and pillows and all of them are in great condition -- no towels from the 1980s. There are many, many places to sit both inside and out and the couch is incredibly comfortable to lie on. The kitchen is large and user friendly. My husband and I like to cook, yes even on vacation, and there was a large variety of pots and pans, utensils and knives and again, most in very respectable condition. (There's even a wonderfully seasoned cast iron pan.) The appliances worked well and were from this century. Kelly sent excellent directions and was always prompt with answering questions and keeping us informed. Highly recommend. Book it.

Amazing family vacation!

This house was perfect! It is so charming and unique, with so much space for our family of four. The pictures do not do it justice. The views were amazing, the hot tub was great for soaking and watching the incredible stars at night. This house has everything you need, including a well equipped kitchen. It was the perfect home base for exploring Taos and the surrounding area. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We hope to be back again in the future!

Mesa Magic Indeed

We absolutely loved our stay at this house on the mesa in Taos! The 360 views are simply breathtaking, and it was amazing to watch the sunrise and sunset right from the property. Our kids had a blast soaking in the hot tub under the stars.The house itself is very cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It’s close enough to town for easy trips to restaurants and shops, yet feels wonderfully private and peaceful.The road in is bumpy, but it’s worth it for the views and the experience. Highly recommend this special spot!

Amazing Property and Location

Kelly’s place is absolutely perfect. Every single morning you get to wake up and see the sunrise over the mountains and each sunset paints beautiful colors on this same mountains. At night you get to stargaze from the hot tub (or anywhere else on the property but we went during the winter)! The house is a short distance from Manby hot springs and when we went in the morning we had it all to ourselves! The house itself has everything you need and is a short drive to town (after you get off the dirt road the house is on)! The house is even closer to Taos Pueblo which is a super cool place to check out as well! Taos Ski Valley is a scenic 30 minute drive as well! You won’t really want to leave the property to much though since the house is absolutely perfect
