Location: Taos, New Mexico, USA (Between Taos & Taos Ski Valley on the Valdez Rim Road)

Accommodations:  Home, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)

Nestled at the foot of Taos Mountain off the Valdez Rim Road, Stella Luna, our 1500 square foot, two bedroom, two bath home sits on a quiet lane. It's just 15 mins from the slopes of Taos Ski Valley, 15 mins from the Town of Taos & Taos Plaza, and 5 mins from the charming village of Arroyo Seco. Extraordinary views in all directions, high ceilings throughout, large windows, and a floor plan that offers both open space and privacy come together to create a home that graciously welcomes you back after a day of skiing, sightseeing, or shopping. In fact, if you're like us, you might never want to leave Stella Luna at all!

Our lovely home offers a spacious, master suite with a King bed, attached office/nursery, TV/DVD, a Jacuzzi bath, and walk-in closet & dressing area. The second bedroom, conveniently separated from the master by the common living space, comes with a queen bed & double futon, TV/DVD, and an amazing view of Taos Mtn. While the house can comfortably sleep four adults, it can easily accommodate two more on the sleeper sofa in the living room.

A cozy fire in the kiva fireplace will warm your bones while you dine or relax in the comfortable living area. Being travelers, cooks, and foodies ourselves, Stella Luna provides you with a well-equipped kitchen and a home tastefully decorated with furnishings, art and objects from near and far. A selection of movies, books, and games will help you unwind from your life in the real world. To soothe those aching limbs and enjoy our spectacular New Mexico skies, there's a hot tub on the back deck; from the SW facing portal you get views of the Truchas, El Pedernal (a leitmotif of Georgia O'Keeffe), sunsets, and the neighbor’s grazing cows.

We love children and they're welcome at Stella Luna. We'll work with you to provide you the amenities you need.

If you'd rather be right in town, or if Stella Luna is booked please consider #200156 our new property right off Kit Carson Road and steps away from the El Monte Sagrado resort.

  • We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stella Luna. It was the perfect location for our Spring Break getaway...between Taos and the ski valley. It was a very comfortable, well decorated home. It was nice to meet our host, Sanjay, and we very much enjoyed the wine, fruit, coffee, chips and salsa and other goodies he had waiting for us. We would definitely recommend staying here.

  • Had a very nice stay at Stella Luna Jan 21-25. We stay at a lot of VRBO properties and were especially pleased ; Sanjay is a great host, the "extras" that he provides were a nice surprise for my family and greatly appreciated when we arrived fairly late in the evening. A nice location in between the town of Taos and the ski resort; it's a bit "off the beaten path", which gives you a nice experience of what it must be like to live in this beautiful place. Hope to return to Taos, and would surely consider staying here again...

  • January 3 thru 9th, WOW – What a great experience! We leave AZ and arrive at Taos (9 pm) as one of the largest snow falls seen in past 10 years starts falling. It was cold, 25? if I remember right. The house was warm thanks to the great radiant floor heating and the fireplace, it was fun/difficult to get the wood out back covered with 2 feet of snow. But the house was so vary comfortable the entire trip and the outside temp was staying in the 19? area when the snow storm was there. Well the snow fell and we knew we had to get some food so next morning we went to town to stock up. The road disappeared on the way back to the house. We had now stocked up and the entertainment provided in the house gave us a great 2 day snow in. The house was far better than I imagined – yes I read ALL the reviews. The fruit bowl and wine waiting, and all the staples in the cabinets were just what we needed. The beds and bedding were great. We took advantage of the washer/drier, dishwasher, dvd’s, TV, magazines, 2 notebooks with area restaurant menus and things to do, but it was just too cold to try the Hot Tub out back. Our last 3 days we went all over the valley; Rio Grande Gorge, Taos Ski Valley, Taos Pueblo, Taos. We plan to go back again, but I believe these desert dwellers will return when there is a little less white stuff. Thanks Sanjay, you have 2 thumbs from us.

  • Had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. We had an issue with the power, but Sanjay took all measures to remedy the situation. Sanjay is a very conscientious property manager, and was a pleasure to work with. The home was perfect for our needs, and I would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the Taos area.

    Oops this belongs to our other house. It ended up here by accident.

  • A great house and Sanjay is a great host as well. The house is a joy, beautifully decorated, serene, and well stocked with all the essentials, including expresso machine, books, DVDs, games, and a welcome basket with wine as well. Beautiful area as the foot of the sacred mountain with fabulous views -- but just a short drive into Taos or up to the ski basin as well. Highly recommended.

  • 9/17/08 Just finished an 11 night stay at Stella Luna. The House & the hosts lived up to all (high) expectations as attested by prior renters. Sanjay kindly waited for our later than expected arrival & provided minute by minute phone directions when we got lost (due to exhaustion from our long trip). He even "shopped" for us providing requested organic skim milk, whole grain bread, a fantastic fruit bowl, etc! We had power outages for a couple hrs in the pm for 3 days (wind/rain storms in the mtns, I think, as it was nice where we were), otherwise everything was terrific. The out of town location was a great base for our extensive hiking in the area. We were VERY happy to be away from the congestion of town. We will definitely recommend Stella Luna to our friends & will rent again when we return to Taos area.

  • Our choice to stay at Stella Luna was based greatly on all the previous positive comments and they are all true! There were groceries awaiting us after a long drive and Sanjay and Maura patiently and enthusiastically filled us in on what to do and where to eat in Taos. I intended to do a good deal of cooking while there and there were all the kitchen appliances and cookware you could hope for. Cabinets were stocked with spices, cereal, and plenty of other dry goods. It was like staying at a good friend's house. The location is beautiful. I was glad to not be staying in town. The house was plenty spacious for four adults and everyone slept very soundly each night. Peaceful and comfortable, this is the perfect place to commune with the mountains.

  • A perfect location, perfect host, with lovely bath robes to cover up in the cool night air after a hot tub. 4 adults with a working kitchen well stocked with the necessites made the evening meals easy to concoct. Totally recommend this VRBO
