Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1996
Why the Owner Chose Taos
I built this house in 1996 with the help of some amazing craftsmen... The best way to describe this area of Taos is walk out onto the upper deck of Las Posadas and gaze at the 100 mile views across the valley. Simply put, stunning.
Then go for a good walk in the quiet forest and feel yourself unwind. The forest and hiking is at your back door.The pines are tall and amazing.The place has an alpine feel with plenty of snow in the winter without being way up in the cold Taos Ski Valley.
The views from the up stairs deck at 880 square feet are incredible...,Just ask any local about El Salto! They will all say its the best place to live.
The Unique Benefits at this House
There is everything you need out the back door here. Skiing, Fishing, Biking,golf and Hiking all of it world class. It is also one the most quiet healing stress reducing places I have ever lived in.
Please feel free to give me a call and I would be happy to answer any more questions.
Thanks again.
Owner's Map of Taos
Greetings Fellow Travelers,
I've been in Taos for fifteen years and have been a fine wood worker who makes furniture and cabinets.I also have been a raft guide, a fly fishing guide and a guide for just about any outdoor sport you can imagine.
I built this house in 1996, so you can imagine I put a lot of heart and soul into it. Well there is so much more to say,but Ill just let the photos speak for themselves.
I just know that there is not a better place to stay in Taos than at Las Posadas El Salto. Just ask anyone who's lived here for a while. This is paradise! Happy Vacationing!
Thanks,
Jamie B.

Top 10 Reasons we loved our stay at Las Posadas El Salto

10. The Stove Rocks! Even my rice cooked at high altitude came out beautifully. 9. Kitchen is well stocked with spices, utensils and cook ware. If you plan on cooking for your family, this is the place to be. 8. Lucy the Lab…a wonderful, warm greeter. 7. Sledding down the drive is a blast. 6. Claw Foot Tubs – A relaxing way to enjoy your bath. 5. The master suite is huge, with plenty of room to unpack and enjoy your time in the cabin. 4. The HOT TUB. OMG, what a treat after a day on the mountain. Bring Slide-On Shoes for the short trip up the stairs afterward. 3. The Sunset Deck – A gorgeous surprise, and a nice way to enjoy a glass of wine. 2. Beautiful, charming cabin in a secluded setting. 1. The Hospitality – Jamie was a wonderful host. He was very gracious about answering all of my questions before and during our trip. The day we arrived, he sent an e-mail with lots of wonderful suggestions for the area, which was very appreciated. When I needed a recommendation for a restaurant, he was quick to respond. When the power went off briefly, he texted right away to ensure we knew where to find flashlights, etc. Jamie was very accommodating with all of our requests, and helped us feel right at home. We really enjoyed our time in Arroyo Seco, and this was in large part due to Jamie’s friendly, helpful nature.

My Holiday Vacation

Review Submitted: 12/01/11
I highly recommend staying at this house. It was perfect for myself and family. We had 5 adults and 1 toddler (2yrs of age). The description offered is very accurate for this location. The photos are also accutate and we were only surprised at how much better it looked in person. The property was well maintained. We only saw the owner 1 time but he was more than helpful with tips. He checked up on us on our way there and during our stay, even afterwards. For the most part we were left alone to enjoy the wonderful house. The floor heating was fabulous. The view and all of the windows in the house was fantastic. We could see the snow falling anywhere you were in the house. I would highly recommend this house to any friend or relative. I would recommed sight seeing in Arroyo Seco, Taos, Taos Ski Valley, visitng the Pueblos. This was out first Thanksgiving vacationing somewhere. We cooked out Thanksgiving dinner and we stayed for 7 days! It was an absolutely wonderful experience. Thank you so very much for the memories! The only downside was the thin dry air but the owner cannot control the climate :) Other than that, it was perfect!

My husband and I spent four wonderful October days at Las Posadas and are looking forward to going back for a longer visit. Jamie has built (literally) a house that is a warm, welcoming home--and shares it most generously. Every light-filled room is lovely, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen has everything a cook could need. The setting is beautiful, with one of the most beautiful hikes we've ever taken just up the road. We loved our evenings in the hot tub, and the vistas from the decks are spectacular.

Jamie, we really enjoyed our week at the house, even if we managed to hit a sort of lousy patch of weather. The setting in the woods was very relaxing, and there was hardly any sense of there being nearby residences. Still, we were close enough to Taos to get in for groceries and other necessities, such as pizza. When the weather moderated, we enjoyed the decks, including watching a spectacular lightning storm combined with a sunset one night. We also enjoyed the hot tub on three evenings after returning from a long day of hiking. We took advantage of the well-equipped kitchen and the grill a lot (just the one venture for pizza, otherwise all breakfasts and dinners on the premises). Everything worked just great, which is not always the case for VRBO properties. Might suggest moving the microwave to a lower location, as the height-challenged (e.g., my wife) couldn't reach it. Location worked great for our hiking expeditions into the national forests and also the BLM areas along the Rio Grande. We noted you have a full electronic setup, with flat screen TVs and all, and assume it all worked well, but we never used it, as we tended to use evenings to just read and work together on crossword puzzles, etc.

Paradise

Review Submitted: 09/18/11
Our stay at Las Posadas El Salto couldn't have been better or come at a better time. We were seeking a reprieve from the summer heat and found paradise in the pines. We have been to Taos a number of time but this was the first visit that we opted to stay a little outside of town. We were rewarded with the sense of being away from the crowd, but close enough to restaurants and Arroyo Seco. The house was open and spacious with a very well equipped kitchen. The lower level deck was great for dinning and hanging out, but the upstairs deck, off the master bedroom, was even better, providing incredible views of the valley below and of course those fantastic New Mexico sunsets. Jamie was an excellent host and took time to help us with fishing, rafting, horseback riding and just about everything we needed during our visit (plus he allows guests to use his CD collection). We will be back....

Summer in Taos

Review Submitted: 07/31/11
We were fortunate to stay at Las Posadas El Salto in July, 2011 with our two sons and one of their friends. Our purpose was to tour around in the scenic mountains and white water raft the Rio Grande. This being our first trip to Taos - we were very much impressed with the beauty of the town and the surroundings. And our house was wonderful. This home sits up in the mountains in a small community north of Taos and you feel at home the minute you walk in the house. There are breathtaking sunsets/sunrises visible from the upper balcony. The outdoor spa was very enjoyable after a busy day rafting. The downstairs living area open concept makes it very easy for the whole family to have plenty of room to relax. And Jamie is an excellent host and readily available for anything you need. We plan to reserve "our" house during our next visit to Taos!

Our stay at Las Posadas El Salto: It was magical! We planned to escape to this beautiful home after an epic camping trip that covered Jemez Springs and on Northward to the San Juan Wilderness in Colorado. We joined up with my mother-in-law after our mountain adventure back in Arroyo Secco and brought our 3 small pups along with us. The house is in a perfect place. Up a quiet dirt road Nestled in tall pines with a beautiful view and cool mountain breezes. Close enough to town, but secluded enough to never leave if you so choose. What a perfect way to finish up our epic trip. It is perfect for the adventure bound traveler as well as those looking for a quiet beautifully appointed escape. We were truly comfortable and relaxed instantly. The accommodations are perfect and all of the little touches amazing. Cooking was a joy in the huge kichen, and eating was heaven sitting out on one of two expansive decks. The place is so big it could truly fit a larger family gathering very comfortably, but also intimate and cozy enough for the three of us and the pups. There was nothing we had to ask for-- everything we could ever need was right there. We will absolutely be staying with Jamie again, he was a fantastic host. For many years to come! Thank you Jamie!
