Experience Taos

This clean and quirky traditional style house is full of original art and cozy furnishings. Right off the main street, yet amazingly quiet. If you can pull yourself away from the house, you are within walking distance of everything downtown Taos has to offer. Barely over a mile in the other direction to Taos Pueblo. Very responsive host. wonderful to visit any time of the year.

Authentic, Beautiful and Comfortable - ABC

Just a perfect house to stay in Taos if you want to get the local vibe of adobe homes plus comfort. This house is beautifully furnished with great local art and furniture. The kitchen is not a gourmet”s dream but has all that you need if you choose to cook. Local restaurants are so good you may not bother to cook.

Taos get away

Staying at this authentic, historic property was such a treat,like staying in a mini museum. We were really immersed in the Southwest vibe. The kitchen was adequately supplied and a washer and drier on site was very convenient. Great location for walking to restaurants, shops and a museum, yet on a quiet side street. If we visited Taos again, we'd stay again in a heartbeat!

Best spot in Taos

Wonderful stay in a beautiful property with all the comforts of home. Beds were exceptionally comfortable. We loved that it was on a quiet street, yet it was within walking distance of the town square and many local popular restaurants. We didn’t have any pets with us but this would be a great place if you are traveling with a dog, because of the nice enclosed front and back yard. If you appreciate staying in an authentic 1950s adobe home, this property will not disappoint. We really hated to leave and will come back in the future when exploring Taos, Santa Fe and Ghost Ranch. 💙💙💙

Excellent NM feel and beauty.

The Southwestern feel and beautiful interior make you feel right at home. The art work and decor is perfect! The house and exterior fenced back yard are excellently maintained with beautiful flowers and vines. Loved that patio for breakfast and sitting outside at night. Location is great for walking into Taos downtown and art community. We will be back!

Lovely older home within walking distance to The Plaza.

This was a very clean, comfortable home near the main plaza of Taos. Three grown women stayed comfortably in the house. The kitchen was nicely equiped. Only having one bath was a bit if a challenge, but we made it work. Only suggestion would be to put power strips near the beds in the two bedrooms. The plugs have not been updated so finding one that works to have a phone nearby would be helpful. Also since there is only one bathroom it would help so hair dryers, etc. could be used in bedrooms when mutiple women are staying there and they need to get ready. Overall, lovely place.

A perfect retreat

We were so reluctant to leave this beautiful home after four days in Taos. Seldom have we felt as comfortable and at peace as we did in this meticulously furnished and curated artist home. We kept discovering and delighting in the many paintings, artifacts, and architectural details around the home. The kitchen is well stocked, dining areas are inviting, the beds are very comfortable, the shower is a work of tile art and has impressive water pressure. We never did watch TV, but there is Netflix available. We enjoyed a nightly glass of wine on the lovely porch, waiting for the lights to illuminate the garden. Everything is just so perfect here. Laura is a very attentive host, making sure you have what you need. She even messaged us to point out a hummingbird nest outside the kitchen window. We recommend this home without hesitation and would return in a heartbeat.

A Step into the Past

This is an old, well maintained traditional adobe home. Some doorways are short and some rooms have steps into them. The ambience is thick with the history of Taos. The yard had blooming lilacs and tulips. The kitchen was well equipped. It was a lovely place to stay for our 55th anniversary. The host was very helpful and stayed in close contact when we had questions. We loved it.

Spring Break Ski Trip

This property is as authentic Taos as you can get, from the architecture to the artwork. We only stayed for 3 nights, but could have easily stayed longer. It was an easy walk to restaurants and bars, an easy drive up to Taos Ski Valley, and when we were at the house, we found everything necessary to prepare meals and feel at home. Everything worked & this property is very well maintained. The fenced in front yard was perfect for the dogs to enjoy and we hope to return in the future. Laura was easy to communicate with & provided a quick response when needed.

We enjoyed our stay at the hacienda. We could comfortably walk to shops and restaurants. We were eager to see the architecture and art of the house and we were not disappointed. We loved the fireplace. Property manager responded super fast to potential issue and worked quickly to offer a solution. We will definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Haas

The hacienda has been in our family since it was built in 1945 by our grandparents, Charles and Ruth Reynolds. He was a painter who was drawn to Taos, like many others, because of it's amazing natural beauty, as well as it's unique cultural aspects. The Reynold's also had an art gallery on Kit Carson Road, and his work is still shown in galleries in Taos and Santa Fe. People often comment on the 'old world' charm that the house embodies. It has a comfortable elegance, with the modern amenities included.

Why they chose this property

This is our family home, built before we were born. We feel exceptionally grateful to have inherited it from our grandparents.

What makes this property unique

As the sun sets on a summer evening, you can hear the Taos Pueblo people singing and drumming from near-by. Their dances and festivals, in each season, are practically at your front door. Visitors are more that welcome to come and see the Deer dances in winter, San Geronimo day in the fall, and to experience Taos from an historical perspective. Sitting in front of a roaring pinion fire in winter, surrounded by original Taos art and furniture, is truly an enchanting experience. The house has unique architectural details that may make it difficult for folks with mobility issues. There is one step down into the home, and one step up to the kitchen/dining area and the bathroom. Please let me know if you have questions.
