About this property

Peaceful Adobe home between Taos/TSV- Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Summer Garden

Welcome to Pinon Paradise, our serene mountain retreat! Located between Taos (10 miles) and the Ski Valley (9 miles), it is perfect for summer and winter activities. Shops and restaurants in Arroyo Seco are only 3 miles away.

This home is truly special and unique. The extensively landscaped grounds are incredible. Guests are encouraged to pick and eat seasonal herbs and vegetables as well as cuttings from the wildflower garden. Depending on the time of year, you may be able to enjoy herbs, fresh vegetables, apples and grapes! In the winter, the snowy backdrop is the perfect end to a powdery ski day.

The home has high vigas ceilings and radiant heat floors. The back of the house has breathtaking views of Taos Mountain and spectacular sunrises. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need to prepare meals. There are two king bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa (that is actually comfortable! It is a platform pull out with a gel mattress). There is one full bathroom.

Outside, there is a private hot tub with overhead string lights. The hot tub has views of the mountain that are the perfect end to a long day. The fire pit is surrounded by four large Adirondack chairs and encourages you to sit and relax (blankets are provided for the cool desert evenings).

If you are traveling with small children, there is a pack and play available.

4 wheel drive or chains required during snow.

Please note there is a Casita on the same property, situated with maximum privacy for each home. The homes are about 20 yards apart. Each home has it's own driveway and hot tub, but the grounds (fire pit, garden) are shared by both properties. If you have a larger group, please see the listing for reserving both properties as a "compound."

While this is a new listing, this property has been rented for years with numerous five star reviews. We have decided to rent without a management company because we want to know you, our guests, better!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and the backyard was beautiful. Great view, plenty of space to relax Aand a fantastic fire pit with tons of wood ready to use. One evening, a deer even wandered by to eat from the apple tree, which was such a special touch. The location couldn’t be better, peaceful and private, yet just an easy drive into Taos. We’d absolutely stay here again!

If you are coming to Taos to ski, this is a great place. Warm and clean. Make sure to be clear in directions before you get close, because cell signal is rough.

Beautiful Taos adobe cottage

We loved our three nights in this cozy adobe cottage! Short drive to Taos ski resort(20min) and the house was just lovely! Gorgeous snowfall made it a winter wonderland while we were there and our kids enjoyed the sleds available and we all enjoyed the hot tub to end each day and the gorgeous views!

Magical property with stunning views

We absolutely loved this property. The adobe home was charming and rustic while also being well supplied with everything we needed. The views of the mountains, the fire pit, the hot tub, and the garden all added up to make this home a very special slice of New Mexico that my family and I would love to return to. The host Amy was also super friendly and responded quickly to questions.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Rabalais

Host profile image
We purchased this property in 2017 after a ski trip to Taos that winter reminded us how much we loved this special corner of the world.

Why they chose this property

From the first time we set foot on the property, we knew that it was "our place." We wanted a home where our children could play and where we felt at peace. It has become our haven in this crazy and busy world, now more than ever.

What makes this property unique

We absolutely love the outdoor space of this property. From the garden and fresh lavender in the summer to snowy winter mornings, it is amazing.
