Casa de los Pasajeros (house of the wayfarers) offers a true VRBO in that it is hosted and operated by 25 year resident of Taos rather than operated by Property Management Companies, Real Estate Agents, or other commercial interests on behalf of absentee owners! Further, you will find a refreshing authenticity in these properties rather than the typical condo and many properties newly built to imitate this authenticity. Your stay at Casa de los Pasajeros is a step into old-world ambience, romanticism, and a way of life far different than condo complexes, most vacation homes, Bed and Breakfasts, and certainly hotels/motels. From this oasis, you are only a 10 MINUTE walk to the Taos Plaza and steps away from El Monte Sagrado Resort and Spa. The grounds are spacious, well appointed with seven tall, mature apple trees, flowering gardens on a quarater acre of land surrounded by high latilla fences. There is also a nice separation between the main house and guest house affording privacy.
Interiors of each are exquisitely furnished with antiques, fine art (originals), select libraries related to the arts and literature of the Southwest, fine cabinetry, custom tile work, oak floors in the main house, large windows, portals, lovely outdoor sitting areas, and an old-style outdoor adobe oven (horno) used by native populations for baking breads. Both have wireless internet; cable TV, sound systems, the finest in appliances.
The Main House: Two bedrooms; Two full baths. Thick-walled adobe with large windows falling close to the oak floors; Italian tile in master bath; Mexican tiled kitchen and bath floors, counters; Custom brass and wood cabinets; Built-in bookshelves, track lights,
lovely kiva fireplace; combined large living/dining room. This home is 1200 square feet: spacious, roomy, and light! Washer and Dryer.
The Guest House: One bedroom (large) one full bath. Kitchenette, sleeper sofa in living room in front of the kiva fireplace. Large portal, skylight in bedroom, finely appointed.
Either house may be rented separately. If you need both the main house and the guesthouse, a package rate is negotiated.

Another unique amenity that comes with this lodging is personal access to your own New Mexico historian who has instructed graduate seminars for 20 years on the arts, histories, literary traditions and cultural legacies of New Mexico and the Southwest. In short, you get much more than just a place to stay!
Guests who stay at Casa de los Pasajeros have an opportunity to personally meet they who are written about in the books and descendants of historically significant families.
