About this property

Palace Of Miracles: Hot Tub, Lounge Spaces, +Casita, mtn views,5 courtyrds,6 FPs

According to legend, the Palacio was originally a stop on the Military Line of the Pony Express, then re-built as an Art Gallery. It is now Converted to a Getaway For Groups that want LOTS of elbow room in a sprawling 7000 square feet. The South Gallery is 34 feet long, the Main gallery even larger. There is the Palacio (main house), the Casita (guest house), Seven (7) fireplaces, and five(5) courtyards.

Send the kids to the North Gallery / Bunk Room and they will be in a world of their own, all the way across the Main Gallery. The Master Bedroom has its own fireplace and lounge, which is larger than most living rooms at 20 x 20.

The Dining Room has its own fireplace for cozy meals, or just to gather. The Pantry can handle meal preparation for large groups, and serves out to the Dining room. The eat-in Kitchen has room to serve an informal meal and its own fireplace.

The Guest House has its own bathroom, kitchenette, fireplace, living, study and bedroom, available as an add-on option at an extra charge. It is separately entered across the inner courtyard from the main house.

There is no other house like it in Taos. The Palacio is conveniently located near Arroyo Seco on the paved and plowed Ski Valley Road. Beds, futons and couches sleep 20 or more. With the optional Guest House, a total of 5 bedrooms and 4 baths will accommodate a large party; the guest house alone is sufficient for a small family or couple.

ABOUT PETS-- We are making the Palacio open to pets, but pet owners must be responsible. Pets are allowed in designated areas and are NOT ALLOWED on furniture, rugs or carpets. The pet fee is $300, but $250 will be refunded if the housekeeper confirms there are no pet damage or pet hairs left behind.

NOTE: The Palacio is mostly located on one ground floor, but includes numerous "changes of level" (also known as "steps") when passing from room to room. Please be alert and aware, and step up or down when passing a change of level. See, for example, the photo of the Foyer, which looks out over the Main Gallery below.

Quirky house but perfect for our big group— of many ages. We didn’t love the location on the 2 lane highway and there wasn’t a great view, but the house worked for us and has a full stocked kitchen! The check in was easy and Linc was easy to communicate with. Lots of room for everyone to have their space and spread out. Overall was a good stay!

Best family reunion, ever!

The Place is amazing. Space for all of us to stay together. The kids were always entertained with indoor and outdoor games and their own "bunkhouse." The adults had spaces to sit and visit in small spaces as well as have our family group event. The kitchen had everything we needed as well as a great BBQ space. Communication with owner was super. Couldn't be better!

Great house

We enjoyed our stay very much. Such a unique property. Plenty of space to each have our own space and great rooms to come together in. Our kids decided instead of seeing the sites in Taos they would rather just hang out at the house. However, we did visit a couple of restaurants and did a little shopping. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Son's Wedding

We rented this beautiful home so we could attend our son's wedding. We are a large family and the owner was amazing at accommodating us. If I ever decide to return to Taos, I will rent this home. So much history, so beautiful and the whole process was wonderfully human. Everything we needed was provided, fully stocked kitchen appliances, linens, and the comfort was perfect.

Family Relax

This house is a wonderful example of perhaps 1920s New Mexican construction and has a beutiful layout. The many little courtyards are a pleasure and there are chair and table vinettes everywhere. The kitchen has everything you would need to service a huge party if that were in the cards. There is every kind of entertainment with games, music, sheet music, video, and tv. Our family went out to explore everyday, but you could as easily just stay at the "Palacio". Our trip was wonderful!

Wooohoooo!

Palacio De Milagros was an outstanding setting for three siblings plus spouses plus offspring and a few significant others to stay for five nights and depart with lifelong memories. Our group totaled 15 adults ranging from early 20’s to late 50’s. There was plenty of space to gather and also hide out for quiet time and remote working when needed. The “palace” has loads of charm and character. The front courtyard was the scene of many hotly contested games of bags, countless conversations, and much laughter. Excellent location for exploration of the Taos area. Lincoln answered inquiries promptly. We are thrilled with our stay and hope future gatherings are as fulfilling as ours. Lincoln, thank you for sharing this special place!

Palace Not So Miraculous

We loved our family time in New Mexico! This home is quite spacious and we had plenty of room, but it could be so much more. With that being said, I would like to say that the yard/courtyards are not what we were hoping for. There is obviously construction being done as there are lots of landscape materials and tools everywhere. The solarium is nothing more than a storage area for extra furniture and lots of boxes of tile. The A/C is basically non existent. We had to use the multiple fans that are all around in the home to make it comfortable. The windows in the bedrooms couldn't be left open to enjoy the cool mountain air as the screens either didn't fit properly or totally off. The cleanliness of the home was also questionable as each room had cobwebs and bugs. The owner had the septic tank cleaned out during our stay and after that we experienced lots of flies in the house...not sure if that was the cause, but the flies were bad. On several occasions our evening entertainment was chasing a mouse around the living room. We never caught it! The kitchen is nice with plenty of dishes/cookware and appliances, but we didn't do much cooking as it was just too hot in the home. The kids, big and small did love playing ping pong, but couldn't get any of the TV's to work except the one in the living room. The location of this property is convenient for visiting Taos, Red River, and Santa Fe. We had a great time in New Mexico, just wish this property could have been better!

It is a great property. But my complaint is that your info is incorrect. It says there are 3 king bedrooms. One of them was locked and the host said we would have to pay extra for its use. this was not communicated in the confirmation. ISo we did not use it. Maybe I should get some refund?

About the host

Hosted by Lincoln B Quintana

Host profile image
Only a miracle (combined with a lot of elbow grease) made it possible for us to own the Palacio. As shown in this picture, we have re-plumbed and massively renovated the property. I'm good with a pick and shovel and my wife has good taste and knows southwest art and design. We are committed to making the Palacio a place where guests can find their own miracles.

Why they chose this property

The Palacio was originally built by an artist who was also a contractor and a pilot. It was his gallery. It adjoins the Taos Pueblo Lands and stands in the lee of El Salto and the "Magic Mountain". Now we are remaking it into a place where groups can spend a few days, a week or a month taking in the magic of Taos. The main house has beds and bedrooms for 12 and sleeping room for up to 20. The separate guest house has its own bathroom, kitchenette, bedroom and study with sleeping space for another 6 people. The guest house is available at a discount to guests in the main house, or at a reduced first-season rate to smaller parties.

What makes this property unique

Beams, latillas, woodwork, adobe and plaster all set the stage for the quintessential Taos experience, but the huge rooms give the Palacio a magnificence that is not found elsewhere. The building makes me feel expansive and lets my mind roam. Bring your art or music and be creative here. Or sit back and enjoy life in a palatial space.
