QuerenciaTaos is a mountain retreat situated on 2 acres with an unobstructed view of Coyote Ridge and Taos Mountain... the perfect location... just five minutes to historic Taos Plaza or Ski Valley Road.
We built the Guest House at QuerenciaTaos to be as comfortable as it is beautiful, with amenities such as radiant heated floors, great entertainment spaces, fully-equipped kitchen, private garden, hot tub, wifi, satellite TV, hand-pigmented plaster walls, hand-poured concrete countertops, and, of course, those breathtaking views.
A hacienda-style home, QuerenciaTaos is composed of 4 free standing buildings: Owner’s area, Guest’s area, Property Manager’s area, and communal garage, connected by covered breezeways, each with separate access and private gardens.
QuerenciaTaos is especially well-suited to artists, photographers and writers, inspirational and serene, but accessible. Meals and daily housekeeping can be arranged so that there is no interruption in the artistic process.
