Perfect Takis

Our stay in Taos was everything we hoped. The house is in a convenient location to Taos and an easy drive to the ski resort. The kitchen had everything we needed...except I might have made homemade pizza if it had a mixer. As it was, we enjoyed great takeout pizza from Pizano’s, and I soaked in the hot tub while my husband drove to pick it up. No complaints here. Thanks, Carmi, for sharing your space.

Spacious house with amazing views

Our extended family really enjoyed staying at Carmi’s place in El Prado. There is a ton of space, including two bedrooms with en suite baths. The kitchen was very well equipped, but pots and pans seemed to have been put away dirty, so we had to wash everything out before using it. Our bed was comfortable with nice linens. The shower in the largest bathroom took a long time to heat up, but the other showers warmed up much more quickly. The house was toasty warm, even when it was quite cold outside. We loved the hot tub! The area is beautiful and there are great views from all the windows. It’s about a 10 minute drive to the Plaza and a half hour to the Ski Valley. We found it to be a good home base for our time in Taos!

Fantastic stay in Taos

Three of us had a great time at Carmi's place. The property is beautiful inside & out; we loved finding new art around every corner. The kitchen was well-stocked above & beyond the basics--we especially appreciated the coffee & tea selection the first morning before we got to the grocery story. The hot tub was great and the cover was SO easy for one person to open & close--made sunrise + late night dips possible since some of us are early birds while others are night owls. We loved having privacy & views on every side while being just a short drive to food, the plaza, hiking, etc. We reached out to the property manager George once when power went out during a storm; he was super helpful & confirmed it was a general blackout in the area & nothing in the house itself. Overall it was a fantastic stay & we are already talking about possibly returning. Thanks so much!

Raves for the Rusty Truck Adobe

We had a wonderful stay at the Rusty Truck in late June through mid-July. What a gorgeous setting, very private, with amazing views throughout the day! It was a perfect, spacious place for my husband and me and one of our adult children, with three bedrooms. Even better, the master suite (huge, with walk-in closet and fabulous bathroom) is separated from the other bedrooms and bathrooms by the living/dining/kitchen, so you really can get some privacy when you need it. We had everything we needed in the kitchen -- pots, pans, utensils, etc -- for cooking and really enjoyed using the new grill. The Internet was amazing -- we have stayed in Taos during the summer off and on for 15 years and have never had such good Internet. That was a huge plus, since we both had to do a little work. And Sondra, the property manager, was terrific, very helpful and available when we needed her to help us solve a Dish TV issue. She did so with a smile on her face -- thank you! Can't say enough good things about the Rusty Truck, from the space to the view to the privacy to the amenities to sitting out on the patio and enjoying a star-filled sky. It's truly a wonderful place to spend any vacation, in this case our first since COVID hit. It was magical! We can't wait to go back!

My Whole Family Congratulated Me For Finding This Place!

Carmi's house is not only beautiful, spacious, and well planned to accommodate a whole family very comfortably, but there are details around every corner that make this place ultra special. There are tastefully selected art pieces and antiques placed in just the right spots both inside and outdoors that lend a whimsical ambience to the experience. My favorite part was sitting in the awesome hot tub at night and looking at the incredible night sky-- so full of stars that you never got bored of looking. The whole family was impressed by how well equipped the kitchen was and we couldn't stop marveling over it every time we made a meal together. The grounds are stunning and extensive, and Carmi's house is surrounded by really healthy trees of all kinds-- we even noticed a pear tree in one corner and would love to come back in the late summer/fall to see/sample the fruit! Carmi communicated with us just the right amount-- giving us some dining and activity suggestions before our arrival and then a very relaxed, no pressure check-in about the gardeners doing a really quick planting while we were there. It was a pleasure to stay in this home, and we felt utterly free AND well taken care of the whole time. Thank you, Carmi!

Beautiful house. Amazing location.

The house itself is quite spacious and beautiful but it’s the location that sets it into an amazing experience. Few houses around with almost zero sound except the wind. Morning views of the sunrise over the mountains. Stellar night sky views while relaxing in the hot tub. Family games by the wood burning Kiva. We all enjoyed it so much.

Great home and location

Beautiful heated-floor property with hot tub which were both important as it reached the negative numbers! Cozy house perfect for us- 2 teens, 2 parents and 2 grandparents. The kids enjoyed sledding on nearby hills and making a snowman in the back yard. The house is complete for families like ours with board games and satellite TV- Disney and other movie channels. Quiet location. Max 15 min. to anywhere in town and max 30 min to the ski valley during “rush hour” (ie to get the kids to ski school by 9). Perfect location for everything we wanted to do. We had a wonderful stay.

Great stay close to Taos Ski Valley

Five of us stayed here for a ski vacation to Taos Ski Valley. We loved the location of the house -- within 30 minutes of Taos Ski Valley and 10 minutes of downtown Taos. Great views of the mountains all around! The home is spacious and nicely furnished. We appreciate that it was well equipped with kitchen and bathroom supplies. The hot tub was warm and waiting for us! Carmi communicated promptly with us before and during our stay. Overall this home contributed to an outstanding vacation for us. Highly recommended!

Had a wonderful relaxing time. No hassles with check in. Great location with good privacy in back yard. No homes to interrupt your Mountain View. House is very comfortable. Might need a few more details about how to use TV, but we were not there to watch TV anyway.

About the host

Hosted by Carmi

Host profile image
We welcome you to our special Rusty Truck Adobe and hope you having an amazing magical and relaxing visit. Tasenos artist, world trekker and storyteller extraordinaire. Originally from the Midwest, our family have resided on and off in Taos for over 25 years. We first came here for the winter sports and arts and now hooked on all the magic of Taos, enchanted New Mexico and our special adobe home.

Why they chose this property

Over many years we visited Taos and always knew this would be our special place. We found the combination of all things good here in Taos. Wonderful community mixed with awesome natural beauty and authentic indigenous culture and traditions.

What makes this property unique

There is something so special about our home. The warmth and beauty are everywhere. The sky, the stars, the trees, the sounds of quiet and nature. We have put our artist touches in all places, inside the adobe and the exterior artist rust.
