Eastern Star Retreat - Open Plan, well-appointed home with mountain views.
Beautiful Adobe-style, custom home with magnificent panoramic view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Slow down. Take in the scenery. True to its name, step outside to watch the crimson hues over the mountain range at every sunrise and sunset. Alternately, stay cozy indoors to unwind, read your favorite book by the fireplace, or gaze at nature from our walls of windows while sipping your favorite drink.
This well-appointed, comfortable home tastefully displays a collection of southwest pottery, paintings, lightings, custom stained-glass artwork and other collectibles in every room. It offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths.
The home is located in the coveted Blueberry Hill area, next to one of Taos’ main paved roads. No 4WD or lengthy drive on spine-jolting gravel roads is involved! Home sits high on a 3-acre lot with privacy fence. It is 5.5 miles from Taos Plaza and a quick, easy drive to restaurants, shops, sights, and outdoor recreational activities including fly fishing, biking, hiking, horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding, white water rafting, and golfing.
The first master bedroom is complete with a wood-burning fireplace and an en suite bath with double sinks. The second master bedroom also sports an en suite full bath with double sinks. Both en suite baths have large walk-in shower for easy, convenient access. The third bathroom is located next door to the third bedroom, and it has a bathtub and shower combo. Each bedroom comes with a king Sealy's Premium Posturepedic mattress, and each bathroom comes with luxurious towels.
The spacious 21' x 25' great room truly speaks to quality family time as it provides multiple seating areas and a collection of table games for the young and old. The house has an ideal chef's kitchen. All sorts of cookware, cooking utensils and serving dishes are provided for any size meal sharing.
Eastern Star Retreat is a single level, modern, custom-built adobe-style home. No sunken living room or baths like many homes in this area. No steps or spiral staircase to climb or maneuver. Certainly, convenient and safe home features for all members of the family.
The radiant floor heating system under the Saltillo tiles provides gentle, even, warm air throughout home in the winter months. In the warmer months (from late May to September), the evaporative cooling system naturally changes the warm, dry air of this region into cool, moist air inside the home.
You will feel instantly welcome and pleased as you enter the house and are presented with a foyer, a fireplace and a majestic mountain view. A true family get-away vacation! In the event you find the need to stay connected with the information highway, the high-speed fiber optic internet is in place for you.
Eastern Star is the perfect retreat for ALL seasons.

Great location, clean and comfortable home with more than ample living spaces for our family of 7. Kitchen is well equipped with dishes, glassware, cookware (but could really use a large skillet) and spices. Jacuzzi tub outside was very nice and very big. The property instructions are everywhere - almost everything has labels, rules and instructions and while that was nice it was also borderline too much. Mattresses very comfortable however master bedroom pillows were not comfortable so I would recommend bringing your own pillow like we did which was easy.
Second time to stay here; remodel to kitchen and added bath are good additions. Blueberry Hill traffic has greatly increased and car noise is becoming an issue. Check in was seamless.

Thank you for being our return guest! We added the third full bath and extended the living room and kitchen area in 2014 so that was sometime ago. We continue to update our home and that includes upgrading our kitchen countertop to a beautiful, imported granite slab in October 2024. Over the years and certainly post pandemic, like many parts of the country, the geographic and population shifts in and around Taos are inevitable. Happily, the Taos landscape is still very much preserved, and most homes outside of Taos proper have acreage and still only dot the land. There are much to enjoy outdoors including walking and hiking the plains, viewing the mountain peaks and wide-open, starry sky at night, exploring hidden lakes, and visiting historical sites and local art galleries .
Our stay was fabulous! The home was very clean. Well stocked supplies. Comfortable. Decorating was unique, interesting and fun! We couldn't have asked for more!
Eastern Star Resort is fabulous. It was extremely clean, comfortable beds and very well stocked. We loved our stay here and if we ever come back to Taos we would definitely stay again. The owners are responsive and gave suggestions on things to do. The location is perfect- far enough from Taos to see the night sky but close enough to be convenient.
Loved the convenience of the location to town with the beautiful quiet star gazing nights. Beautiful home with a perfect setup for family to end the evening after Taos adventures from the day.
Very beautiful location, all amenities provided, charming home

We had a wonderful time in your home. When it snowed the Friday after Thanksgiving the view was like looking at a postcard. We look forward to staying again the next time we are in Taos.

Perfect and Beautiful Base Camp for Northern New Mexico
We spent a week at the Eastern Star. It was wonderful. The place had everything we needed and our hosts were very responsive to the questions we hit them with. It was a great location to explore the region from. Our kids already asked when we are coming back.

We're glad you've enjoyed your stay at Eastern Star Retreat. Our family also love to explore the area in the summer. In the winter, our kids go straight to the ski slope! We'd love to have you back, anytime!
We stayed at this lovely home while attending Michael Hearne’s Big Barn Dance. The owners have thought of every detail in making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The home is beautifully furnished and is located close enough to Taos to be there in 10 minutes but far away enough to see the stars at night! The Mountain View was beautiful from everywhere in the house. Highly recommend staying here!
Beautiful home with quick access to the slopes and downtown shops. Could not have been better for our family of seven. Loved the hot tub and all this home had to offer!!
What an amazing home! Everything was in excellent condition and as described. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location, just outside of Taos, is incredibly convenient, quiet, and spectacular (even by Taos standards). Be prepared to take many photos every day of the scenery! We had an absolutely wonderful family vacation, with skiing, hiking, museums, and restaurants just a short drive away. A truly exceptional home and stay!

A lovely home near Taos!
The house was fabulously decorated and had all the amenities we could ever want. It's very close to town (about 10 minutes or less) and to the ski village (about 20 minutes). We'd definitely come back!

Thank you. We love our home and we love Taos. Glad to be able to share it with others! Summers are beautiful here. Lots of fun outdoor activities like hot air ballooning and white water rafting. It'll be a great time to bring your family back! Eastern Star Retreat.
About the host
Hosted by Trinh Le
Kent and I are from Texas and we love to go to Taos and be away from the hot and humid weather for a few days. We have also been in awe with the New Mexico landscape. After a few trips to Taos, we decided to buy a home here. As the Taos locals have told us, "The mountain is calling!" and, yes, we responded heartily by claiming it as our second home.
Why they chose this property
If you like nature, you will love it at Eastern Star Retreat!
The house is located just outside of town where you can truly appreciate the wide open spaces of Taos. At Eastern Star Retreat, you'll enjoy the 360 unhindered view of the Taos mountains.
The Taos county, itself, stretches over 50 square miles. The average number of sunny days is 300/365. It has a mixture of diverse cultures that include that of Native Americans, Spanish and Anglo.
Taos offers all kinds of outdoor activities all year round. The options are endless: e.g., skiing, snow boarding, snow shoeing, rafting, kayaking, hiking, golfing, horseback riding, biking, and hot air ballooning. Even if you are not as much of an outdoor sport enthusiast as you would like to be (i.e., like some of us), you'd still enjoy sitting back on the porch and soaking in the beautiful weather, pristine setting, and majestic mountain views.
Personally, I feel blessed whenever I am there.
What makes this property unique
Guests frequently tell us they love our 2nd story gazebo! It provides a truly unique view of the Taos' mountains and valleys. They also love our large hot tub ...such a wonderful way to get a massage, pain relief, or simply relaxing entertainment .
