Available as the Log Cabin Only for groups up to eight. Or, the entire property to sleep 14.

The Log Cabin has two bedrooms, 2 lofts and two and a half baths.
Included in the Log Cabin :

Log Cabin = Sunset Room K Bed (or 2 to three singles) attached private bath with twinkle shower and claw foot bathtub
East BR = Q bed, uses 1/2 bath upstairs, full bath downstairs
Yoga Loft = Queen Futon and a single bed (or King Bed & Futon)
Kids Loft = double cotton futon mattress only with lamp, no storage

The original structure was a single-story octagonal log cabin built in the early 70s. Several stages of add-ons have resulted in a unique architectural flowing pattern of what one would call an absolute "artistic creation!" A wonderful Taos home and setting that evokes surprise and awe.

Walk in through the main entrance sun/mud room, then enter into the Great Room - the original log cabin. An open floor plan of kitchen/dining area with fireplace, separated by a main stairway supported by a 30-inch cedar tree trunk is the main living/sitting area: beautiful, good forest and one mountain view. A full bath on the first floor off the Great Room. Double glass doors lead you out to a raised-story deck and redwood hot tub (great for stargazing!).

Prance up the grand staircase to the second story.

The Sunset bedroom has a king-size bed (or two - three singles) and private western deck to view astonishing Taos sunsets. The plaster walls are faux painted a sunset theme to create an stunning effect. The bathroom features an original, one-of-a kind, galvanized tin shower with twinkle lights and a meticulously tiled art floor. YES!

The East bedroom bewilders guests with delightful unexpected angles. Queen bed and a half bath across the hall, full bath downstairs.

Additional sleeping space is an open loft overlooking the Great Room with a double-size futon, single or king bed. French doors open to yet another sunroom/solarium. A very romantic Romeo and Juliet balcony is accessed from this upstairs solarium.

Finally, the favorite place for some to snuggle into, is an elevated loft called the Kid's Loft for one (or two or three) who climb up a traditional South West latilla ladder and sleep by the stars.

For larger groups on some special weeks, the entire property (Log Cabin plus Master Wing) is available. This includes a second master bedroom with attached bath, lovely wood stove, a large loft, yet another bathroom (total 4 1/2) to sleep 14. Please call to discuss.
