Location: Taos, New Mexico, USA (In Town Location; Easy Walk to Restaurants & Plaza) View Map
Accommodations: House & Apartment, 7 Bedrooms + Loft, 5 Baths (Sleeps 20)
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: 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. If rented without the Getaway Apartment, entrances are not visible to each other and the hot tub is then used by only the Main House.
Getaway Apartment: Sleeps two through six. The Getaway Apartment 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 apartment's entrance. If rented alone, this apartment's entrance is separate and the hot tub is usually not included.
Main House and Getaway Apartment Combined: Sleeps 20 in 16 beds. There will be 2 kitchens, two TV/lounge areas, 2 eating areas and 2 washer/dryers. This option provides excellent separation for multi-generational family reunions. If additional room is needed to sleep up to 26 in beds, be sure to inquire about adding the house across the street.

Main House - 6 sleeping rooms & 4 bathrooms
(1) The master bedroom suite sleeps 2 in 1 bed. It can be accessed through the main house or through its own private entrance. It has a wonderful feeling of separateness from the main living area. Resting and sleeping comfort is provided by a TempurPedic© mattress on a king-size bed, a TV/VCR and a stereo. 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.

Map & Owner's Profile
Magnificent Home in Taos - Walk to Plaza & Easy Drive to Ski
Year Purchased: 1995
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 & Apartment
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.
Owner's Map of Taos

We have been having family gatherings each yr for about 12 years, staying in different resort areas - this is the nicest place we have found. We can all be lodged together in pleasant surroundings at a reasonable cost. Thankyou! Phil Wachtel
