About the host

Hosted by RON WINSOR

Host profile image
I've lived in Taos for 35 years. Avid outdoorsmen, expert skier (private lessons and TSV mountain guiding available upon request), ultralight pilot, and am offering sunrise flights out over the Taos Gorge and Tres Piedras. Love to meet new people. The house I live in is close by, a few hundred yards away and I will be available for anything you might need during your stay.

Why they chose this property


Best views in area! Quiet and private - lots of lawns for kids to run around on, hot tub with spectacular views to relax in. Hiking and biking routes available right from property. Watch storms roll in and enjoy them from inside, looking out through the greenroom. It's majestic.

What makes this property unique

I designed and built this home in 2004-05. Passive solar house will keep you cozy throughout the day without having to blast the heat! Also, radiant floor heating will keep your toes warm throughout the house :)
Where else can you hang out in a jungle in your living room? Watch weather form across the mesa from the hot tub, or hammocks. Grill out on the patio and enjoy the sunset! There's nothing quite like it.
