Relax at Luna Vista, a spacious adobe home. Enjoy the outdoor hot tub and glorious views of Taos Mountain and the Sangre de Cristo Range from the front portal/porch. Or, gaze into your New Mexico-style kiva fireplace while you take in the views from inside. The interior is roomy and features a bedroom with a massive king sleigh bed and another with two queens. The house is built with traditional viga ceilings and tile floors and sports furniture built for comfort, a complete kitchen with enough room for two cooks, original Southwestern art work and a cozy TV nook with recliners off the living room. The banquet-type dining table and openness make for great for entertaining yet the home encourages intimate getaways as well. Enjoy Taos, Taos Ski Valley or one of the many colorful towns nearby, then return to the serenity of your accommodations

Luna Vista is an outstanding property and provided a warm and comfortable temporary home for us while we visited our daughter and son-in-law. The house is very roomy and decorated beautifully. Sally has provided everything you could think of and more. The views for all rooms were spectacular. We especially enjoyed the extras: flowers and fruit waiting for us on our arrival, the special attention from Sally's caretaker and his two wonderful pups, and the views from the fabulous hot tub. Luna Vista was the most comfortable and well appointed vacation rental we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home, Sally.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you Nancy. I'm so glad that you enjoyed Luna Vista. It is a special place in our hearts too. Come back any time. Sally

The view from the patio is wonderfull. Spent the evenings watching the moon come up between the two mountains just in front of us. 15 min to anything you want to do in town but far enough away for quiet and privacy. The house was beautifull and so clean. Beds where very comfortable, slept like a dream. Enough room for a crowd and anything you could possably need was there. The fresh flowers and fruit where a special touch. Could not have been more pleased with our stay.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

What a magical view of the sun rising over the Sangre de Cristo mountains in the morning and the twinkling lights of Taos below in the evening. A relaxing evening in the hot tub with a blanket of stars above, or a short trip to the galleries and museums in Taos. This beautiful adobe home was the perfect get away for an entire month. Total relaxation in a very comfortable home that is beautifully decorated with art of this intriguing culture. A wonderful place to stay for a week or a month. I will be back!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Our family absolutely will return to this warm and inviting home. The owner was very accomodating in every way, from excellent communication to adding personal touches to the house, like fresh flowers and fruit. The decorated real Christmas tree was awesome and smelled so good! The large banquet style table was perfect for our family to enjoy meals and play games together. The beds were very comfortable and hot tub was a great way to relax after a day of skiing at nearby Taos Ski Valley. Kitchen was very well equipped and the seperate laundry room was a nice extra to have. The interior of the house is very authentic New Mexican. I loved the viga ceiling, which can't be seen in the pictures!! Every want or need has been thought of by the owner and prepared for accordingly. The house is very tastefully decorated and is just like or better than the pictures shown. Lots of room and the open floor plan makes for a comfortable stay for everyone. We had guests from in town over for steaks cooked on the grill with plenty of room for everyone....some were watching a movie on the satellite in the tv nook, others were sitting comfortably visiting in front of the fireplace while a few others sat at the table playing cards. The view from any window is absolutely beautiful!!! The property inside and out is very clean and well maintained. Altogether, we loved our stay and would highly recommend to anyone.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We recent had a very enjoyable stay at this location. The house was as described, very comfortable, equipped with everything you might want to make your stay comfortable. Nicely stocked kitchen, wifi, dish tv. It is tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable and house was clean and well maintained. The best part is the views out the large windows, each evening we were treated with the glow of the sunsets on Taos Mountain and twinkling lights of Taos at a distance. It is a peaceful, quiet and relaxing location. Local sights not to miss are Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, High Road to Taos, San Francisco de Asis Mission Church all photographic treats.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We have just spent Memorial Day weekend enjoying this warm, welcoming, thoughtfully-equipped house, and we could not have chosen a better place to stay. The house is spacious and beautiful (yes, it really does look like the pictures), and is in a setting that made us want to get up early to drink coffee on the front porch and watch the sun rise over the mountains. Good hiking trails are nearby, and excellent restaurants are too. We had a wonderful time at Luna Vista, and recommend it highly to anyone visiting the Taos area.Did you find this review helpful?

Our stay here was wonderful and relaxing. We are hoping to visit again soon. Sally has the house well stocked, everything from enough blankets, tons of towels, fans, laundry detergent, even spices for food. All we did was buy our food, she provided everything else. The kitchen is well stocked with every utensil you will need. The house is impecably clean and every need is thought of before the need arises. The view of the moon rising over the mountains was our favorite memory. The views are breath taking. The drive to town is just a short distance, but far away enough to provide privacy. The gorge bridge is a well worth 5 minute drive. This has been the best upkept vacation home that I have visited. Only complaint is that I could not stay there longer. Loved the nightly visit from Maggie the kitten! I'm sure she loved the treats.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Luna Vista is an amazing house in a great location. It has very easy access to the Taos ski area road and is just a short drive to the Taos Plaza and Pueblo. Both the daytime and nighttime views are spectacular! During the day the mountains seem close enough to touch and the nighttime twinkle of Taos is at your feet. The interior views are just as stunning as the exterior ones. The house is very tastefully decorated with art, classy furniture, and beautiful linens. I really enjoy cooking even on vacation and Luna Vista has the best equipped rental kitchen I have ever cooked in...lots of spices, utensils, pots...amazing! The owner was very helpful and had great, well organized information about the house and Taos. I look forward to my next visit to Taos and my stay at Luna Vista. Highly recommend.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2003
About the owner: I have a career as a print journalist, and have been writing a non-fiction book in a nearby casita. A native of Kansas City, I lived in New Mexico for more than 20 years. I have just moved away from the Land of Enchantment for a year. I am in San Francisco while I finish and market my book. Casey Flynn, my wonderful manager, is living in the casita behind Luna Vista and will help visitors with anything they need. My mate and I are travelers, part gypsy. We have spent eight weeks in New Zealand junketing about in a camper van, then four weeks traveling around Australia. We have a BMW motorcycle which we took to Alaska a few summers ago, the north shore of Lake Superior and the Grand Canyon last year. Cooking, gardening, hiking, swimming and painting all top my list of fun things to do, along with appreciating my partner's photography.
Why the Owner Chose Taos:
The mountains and quality of light found in and around Taos have become part of my soul. I love the organic feel of an adobe house. Plus I am a sucker for a view. That's why I chose my particular viewing spot. The sunrises and sunsets always delight. Watching the moon rise from the portal is magic.
