Overview
Estate, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)
Take yourself back in time when life was much simpler. Come and stay at a real working farm. The Tree House is located on a 13.5 acre private estate in the Beautiful Valdez Valley just 6 miles north of Taos.
The Tree House is a fairy-tale cottage, hand built by the owner, who is a Taos artist and metal sculptor and furnished with handmade furniture and antiques. There is peace and quite except for the rustling of the giant 200 year old cottonwoods and the rushing of the Rio Hondo River as it makes its' way to the Rio Grande. The Tree House has a balcony that over looks a 100 ft. pond with French geese and Mallard Ducks.
A short walking distance on the other side of the property is the working part of the farm, consisting of Alpacas, Ducks, Geese, Chickens and of course the gentle Great Pyrenees dogs that watch over all. You are welcome to feed the Alpacas, learn about their history and in early summer you might even see a cria (baby Alpaca) or you can walk to he top of the hill and watch the chickens.
There is lots of wildlife in the Valley and you might occasionally see a Bear, coyote, Deer, Fox or even an Elk on the property.
We are located half way between Taos and Taos Ski Valley. About a 10 min drive in either direction.
Come stay with us and enjoy tranquility in the Land of Enchantment.

What makes this estate unique
It is wonderful to sit on the Tree House balcony looking out over the 100 ft. pond watching the ducks and geese and listening to the sound of the river as it makes its' way to the Rio Grande.

Great getaway!
We loved the staying at Rio Honda Estates. Perfect location for skiing & the property is very nice with small pond, ducks, fire pit, hammocks & grill. We enjoyed feeding the alpacas. Highly recommend.
Great time on some lovely property
Beautiful property with some lovely ducks and a very determined woodpecker!
Excellent
Wonderful place to stay, with Jun an exceptional person, sharing the beautiful Treehouse and grounds. Thank you
Great spot
Jun was more than welcoming. The farm was a beautiful spot. Also, the location is a 20 minute drive to the ski hill. Can't beat the experience and location. Thanks again Jun!
This was a beautiful place to relax and hear the river bubbling by.
Me and my wife stayed for a weekend and were sad to leave. The house was nice and cozy. Jim and Jun were completely awesome. Jun took time to tell us all about there alpacas. She even let us feed them a bit of grain. We definitely want to spend some more time at the tree house.
Awesome!
A great place to stay and recover from a day of skiing at Taos Ski Valley (only 20 minutes away!). Beautiful scenery and fun place to stay. Highly recommend!
