Magnificent Home in Taos- Walk to Plaza & Easy Drive to Ski
- Minimum stay:2 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:Yes
Come to New Mexico and stay in this magnificent home in the heart of Taos. It's an easy walk to the shops of Bent Street, Taos Art gallery district, Taos Institute of Art, Kit Carson Park and many excellent restaurants. Skiing and ski lessons at the world famous Taos Ski Valley are a beautiful 35 minute drive away. Sledding, snow-shoeing, hiking and cross-country skiing will keep the non-skiing outdoor enthusiast busy.
The huge kitchen has plenty of room for family cooking, an adjacent dining area and a stone breakfast bar for casual eating. The dining room was made for entertaining, with a long, elegant, white maple table and six armchairs (with extra chairs, ten have been seated). Soft lighting and five huge windows looking out onto the private garden and bird-feeding area make this room a favorite for game playing and bird watching. Additional tables and chairs are available for larger groups. The main house includes a large gas grill on the patio for outdoor cooking.
Main House: (Bedrooms 1-5) Sleeps fourteen (14). The living room is equipped with stereo, DVD player, VCR and a large TV. It contains over 3700 square feet of barefoot-comfortable radiant heat. A complete laundry room is off of the kitchen. There is a total of six bedrooms and a loft with three twin beds.
The sixth bedroom is "The Getaway Suite" which is attached with an interior and exterior entrance. Sleeps two through six. The Getaway Suite is sunny and inviting with floors of Saltillo tile interspersed with stone, and a TV area with a stereo and a queen-sleeper/sofa. Its fully equipped kitchen with eating space, large bathroom with tub/shower and washer/dryer make this space ideal for a small family or two couples. The bedroom is huge and can be made up with a King bed or twins. Off of the bedroom is a patio with low adobe walls. Off-street parking for two cars is fifteen feet from the entrance to the suite.
Sleeps 20 in 16 beds. There will be 2 kitchens, two TV/lounge areas, 2 eating areas and 2 washer/dryers. This provides excellent separation for multi-generational family reunions.
SLEEPING INFORMATION
Main House - 6 sleeping rooms & 4 bathrooms
(1) The master bedroom suite sleeps 2 in 1 or 2 beds. It can be accessed through the main house or through its own private entrance.

The master bath, in addition to a jetted extra long tub, has a tiled shower.
(2) Small Sleeping Room sleeps 1 in 1 twin long bed and shares an entry/hallway with the Master Bedroom. It has a pocket door that provides privacy. The bed has a twin-long foam mattress. It can share either the master bath or the east bedroom's bathroom.

My group loved the house. We had 13 adults and 7 children under the age of 7!! We cooked breakfast and dinner every night. The kitchen was perfect and we could almost seat everyone. We loved the big kitchen dining area since it was where most of the adults stayed! Several made use of the hot tub and enjoyed it. We will be reserving it soon for next spring break-as soon as we get an accurate count on who will be returning-we may have more!! Might need those apart. across the street!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, families with young children, sightseeing.

Twelve women, college friends, living now all over the country - and France - convened in Taos for a week of hiking, sight-seeing and catching up. This house was PERFECT! Kitchen large enough for lots of cooks/cleaner-uppers, plenty of bedrooms and FIVE bathrooms, a terrific large living room great for visiting, and we could all get around the dining table for meals. From this wonderful property we could walk all over Taos: museums, galleries, shops, the Plaza, everywhere!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

The property owners were very helpful to us. The house was so comfortable. It was well stocked with anything we needed. We had 8 adults and 9 children 2 to 16. There was plenty of room and privacy for all. The hot tub was a good and welcome relaxation as each day of skiing ended. The kitchen was amazing. We utilized all 3 of the refrigerators as we cooked each am and pm. There was plenty of room for all the chefs in the family. This is a house we would recommend. The additional benefits werethe convience of shopping and a park close. The grounds were well kept and looked like they would be beautiful ion the spring, summer and fall (things were just budding out and daffoidils were beginning to openRecommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Our stay at this eclectic home was wonderful. It is ideal for a group of family. The kitchen is large and easy to work in. The bedrooms are very quiet - nothing can be heard through the walls. Great location - walking distance to local restaurants and only 25 minutes from Taos Ski Mountain.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We stayed in the gatherine place this fall for a birthday trip. We rented the guest and main house for the weekend. The house is amazing!! No pictures can do justice to the breathtaking Taos home. A 10 min walk to the plaza and anything else you'd need in Taos. There are more then enough rooms and beds and plenty of room. It's great for a nice dinner in with all the windows looking into the yard or a fun game night sitting around the fire! I missed the house from the moment we left, can't wait to go back next year!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, pet owners, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

The Gathering Place with the attached apartment was the perfect spot for our families to stay to celebrate our daughter's summer wedding in Taos. Everyone (16 people) had lots of space so if they wanted to rest during the day, go to bed early or sleep in, they could. The outdoor patio with two tables and garden, the huge kitchen and spacious living room were fabulous for all of us to be together. There were even two washers and dryers. The location is on a quiet street with a very short walk to the Plaza so those who wanted to stroll on their own to the shops could do so. The house was definitely more than we had hoped for. Seymour, the caretaker, was readily available and he even voluntarily completed a woodworking project with our nephew. The only problem with our stay was that the time went way too fast! We would love to come back in the winter and ski at the mountain.Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, pet owners, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

About the owner: Dinah is a much awarded artist that has filled the house with artwork. She also maintains a studio in town, shows at Act l Gallery and is happy to show her studio now that it is up and running. Seymour is a retired lawyer who uses his talents to reach out and help in the community. He also builds unique furniture and is collatorating with Dinah on some mixed media work.
Why the Owner Chose Taos:
We bought this property for its location within a quiet neighborhood in the Taos Historic Destrict. We lived here and loved the lifestyle of walking and being part of the Taos community. After an extensive remodel and kids leaving home we couldn't let go of a house that was way too big for us. We decided to do short term rentals and hold our own family reunions here.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Walking and being part of a colorful area with lots of shops, and restaurants. Even 2 parks to keep pets and kids happy. Wireless internet access, full laundry and a house not only full of art but, remodeled by artists with lots of small creative touches. Hiking and skiing are easy to get to and we live in the neighborhood if you need help, it is nearby.
