Great Rates for a luxury, fully-equipped home that works well for couples, families, and small adult groups. Do read the reviews from our previous guests, who have consistently given us 5-Stars for all aspects of their stay.
We are about 10 minutes walk from the centre of Taos and the historic Plaza, with its wonderful restaurants, innovative galleries, and antique shops.
Family re-union? Wedding? We partner with our neighbours to accommodate larger groups on the same site.
This truly is a home-away-from-home, which has been carefully and tastefully furnished and equipped as our second home - we keep everything in excellent order. The style is traditional adobe beautifully integrated with Morrocan decor, which gives the interior a rich ambience. The feel is cosy and comfortable, with warm inviting colours, and furniture you can relax in. The 2-storey unit is self-contained - the end-unit of three adobe-style homes in a small private community.
If you love to cook, the kitchen is fully equipped with appliances, including a microwave, food processor & blender, coffee maker & grinder, electric kettle, toaster, as well as a complete set of baking dishes, utensils and chef tools. Basic groceries are kept newly stocked up, and quick meals are ready for your arrival.
The upstairs master suite and lounge is unusually spacious, with a King bed, full bathroom, 2nd satellite TV, DVD player, and a well-equipped office space with wireless DSL, printer, and office supplies.
The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed, and is right next to the second full bathroom. No stairs to climb!
Perfect for 2 couples to have their own space.
The upstairs walled deck looks over the community gardens and has a gas BBQ grill, dining table, chairs, and umbrella for the summer.
Guests have the use of the beautiful and serene gardens while staying with us.
There is a queen size sofa bed in the living room.
The property is approx. 1400 sq ft.
Taos Ski Valley is an easy 30 minute drive, Sipapu 40 minutes, and Angel Fire about an hour away. Santa Fe is a little over an hour's drive.
During the summer, the Rio Grande offers rafting and kayaking for all levels, and walkers can enjoy anything from a stroll around the pretty local neighborhoods, to day-long mountain hiking.
We also accept payment in UK pounds

This was the best condo we've ever rented (and we travel a lot). The kids loved the pond with fish in the front of the condo, and we enjoied the big bedroom and the nice terrace upstairs. I really appreciated the fully equiped kitchen, and all the nice utensils, silverware and plates. The condo is extremely nice decorated, very functional, and everything is well organized. The owners were very friendly, and made us fell like home. We're lookng forward to going back.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.
Owner response: We go the extra mile to make our guests feel welcome and to provide all those little things you have at home. We have such joy in sharing our home with the wonderful people who have stayed with us, and know that you will love it too! Lise and Nick

This condo is exactly as advertised ~ it was clean and had all the basic kitchen supplies needed. The owners left a fresh loaf of bread and a bottle of wine to welcome us. The condo is situated just off the main road which made walking to the heart of town easy. The property was very clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend staying here if you are coming to Taos.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

My husband and I have stayed in countless homes listed on VRBO and I have to give this one the very highest marks yet! The home was exactly as listed regarding location, and the photos, as good as they are can not compare with how well appointed this home really is. When we arrived, the house was spotless and very well maintained, and the owners could not have been more helpful and responsive. We asked several questions by e-mail before our arrival and Lise was back with answers, always on the same day. After driving for twelve hours to get there, we were much too tired to go shopping or to find a restaurant and one of the biggest blessings was having an easily prepared meal waiting for us in the freezer. This has not ever happened to us before....amazing! Not only that but there were fresh flowers on the dining table coupled with a bottle of wine and chocolates! What more could we have asked? When reading reviews on every home we have visited in the past, almost every one mentions a well appointed kitchen. This home was different in that it truly is well appointed. The knives are sharp, there is every cooking accoutrement you could ever need and everything was well organized and easily located. Wow! We will measure every place we stay against this one from now on. It doesn't stop there either. In the bathrooms, one would think they were in a hotel. If you forgot your toothpast there's a small tube in the basket, along with shampoo, bath cubes and body wash. Let me tell you....this never happens! The furniture and beds are comfortable and there are plenty of linens for all your needs and the rooms are spacious. Our favorite place was the colorful kitchen where we gathered with our friends to cook and fellowship. While visiting Taos, we went to the pueblo, drove to Arroyo Secco to shop and then on up to Taos Ski Valley. We ate at Michael's Kitchen, Five Star Burgers and a Mexican place whose name slips my mind, located behind San Fransisco Church. The guys fished in a small lake just east of Questa on the scenic circle road, where they caught their limit of trout every day. One other cool thing we did was visit Lise and her husband at their gallery in Panasco, a town located at the start of the High Road to Santa Fe. The drive was beautiful and we loved getting to meet the people who put together one of the best appointed places we will probably ever rent. If you are planning a visit to Taos, this is the place to stay, hands downRecommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Our stay at this condo could not have been better -- from the immaculate floors to the well-stocked, large kitchen to the very comfortable master bedroom -- with a desk for writing by the open floor to ceiling glass doors. (See in your mind the afternoon breeze billowing the curtains.) The courtyard is peaceful and exactly what we expected. The walk to the galleries and restaurants in the center of Taos was easy (we only started the car to travel to hikes in the area), and the walks through the tree-shaded neighborhood were enjoyable as well. Our time on the upstairs deck was particularly pleasant. The owners even let us pick hydrangeas from the flower bed so we had fresh flowers every day. We would recommend this rental to anyone.Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Close to the square and easy to locate, upon arriving we were amazed! Truly a perfectly appointed "Home away from home", with everything a group would need for a perfect visit. We could have arrived with personal items alone and stayed for several days before shopping! The owners have thought of everything, and the condo herself is beautiful and welcoming. I hope she can be our base of operations for many more enjoyable visits. So, see you next year....?Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Ladies, could tell you were having a whole load of fun, and thanks for choosing our home for your trip. You were delightful guests, and looked after our place as if it were your own. Looking forward to your return visits.

As advertised, this is a lovely property. The location was very nice and quiet, but just off the main road allowing us to simply walk to the heart of the town. The property was very clean and well-maintained. The owners were very pleasant to work with.

My wife and I stayed here for our first vacation in many years and found this condo absolutely beautiful. In the past, when we used vacation rental sites, we sometimes found the pictures did not accurately portray the actually property, but not so in this case. This condo is every bit as beautiful as the photos show it to be. When we arrived, we found not only a spotlessly clean home, but a bottle of wine, a loaf of fresh french bread, chocolates and a welcome note from the owners awaiting us, and our stay went uphill from there. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare any kind of meal (if you so wish). We did this one night and enjoyed the restaurants of Taos and Santa Fe the others. Unhesitatingly give this home a five star rating. If you are looking to check out Taos (which we also highly recommend) you couldn't go wrong staying here.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks so much Bob. We love having people to stay who appreciate our home, and you were the perfect guests! We look forward to your return visit.

My family and I stayed at this lovely condo for three nights. The condo is beautiful, the beds are super comfy, the kitchen is wonderfully stocked, and the owners could not be any nicer. The owners were great at communicating via email before our arrival. They even made suggestions for things we can do in the area. We were so happy to arrive to wine, chocolates, and food in the fridge. The condo is in a wonderful location- walking distance to the downtown - in a quiet, quaint neighborhood. I would recommend this rental to anyone heading to Taos!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2003
About the owner: We love Taos, and have finally managed to semi-retire here after many years in Silicon Valley. We originally come from the south of England, and particularly enjoy the gardens in and around Taos, which remind us of home. There is so much to do here, that we still have a list of 'must-sees' that's several pages long! We love to entertain, so we make sure that our guests have everything they need (plus a few little luxury extras!).
Why the Owner Chose Taos:
This has been our second home since we bought it; we love staying here! The gardens around the condo are quiet and peaceful. It's the perfect location for us: we can stroll into town to look around the galleries, and walk home after a wonderful dinner at one of the local restaurants. It's a great base for exploring northern New Mexico, with so many historical and cultural sites an easy drive away. Santa Fe is just an hour's drive, so you can take advantage of Taos lodging rates while exploring Santa Fe.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Our condo is located in one of the most sought-after associations in Taos, and on one of the prettiest streets. The quiet gardens with the koi pond are perfect for sitting peacefully with a book, and maybe a glass of wine.
Inside the unit, there are two separate sitting areas, great for families or groups who would like a little private space to themselves. The upstairs office space is a quiet place to check in to work (if you must!) The private deck is our favourite place to have breakfast and watch the birds in the garden.
