Stunning property. The home has a lot of character and very beautifully decorated. Absolutely love the Native Culture accents throughout the home. Extremely charming front and backyard. A lot of privacy with mountain views which I greatly appreciated. Taos is an extremely charming and friendly town. Enjoyed breakfast and steak locally. I definitely recommend and most likely would love to visit again during winter time! 10 stars!

We are a family of five, and this was a fantastic home for us. We spent two nights here during our week-long travels through New Mexico. Everyone agreed that those two nights were their best nights of sleep. There was a warm, welcoming and beautifully decorated common area for times we wanted to be together, and the bedrooms were arranged such that there was plenty of space to spread out, relax and enjoy some alone time. It was easy to cook in the kitchen, and the laundry machine and dryer were a welcome asset. The host was kind and informative, and the house was conveniently located to local attractions. I highly recommend this property.

23 Buena Vista was a lovely stay. The main outdoor space was where we spent most of our time as it's covered and has comfortable seating and a fireplace, view of the mountains and a peaceful, enclosed yard. We could hear the wind rustling in the trees at night and the yipping of coyotes. The birdlife is abundant and there is food to put out for them at the house. The master is separate from the other 2 bedrooms, and all of the bathrooms were very clean and well kept. The house is situated close to town and at the end of a road. We felt safe but also secluded. Upscale and comfortable!

Texas Winter Vacation

Stunning house inside and outside with everything you could desire. Amazing neighborhood, beautifully landscaped 2 acre lot in a great location, with incredible Mountain views. No detail was spared. Obsessed with furniture and decor! 10-15" inches of white powder snow creating a white winter wonderland during our trip. We will definitely return!

Fabulous property

The pictures do not give the property justice . The grounds are covered with fresh landscaping, flowers and mature conifers that provide a sense of privacy. Yet the views extend for miles. Don't miss the sunsets and sunrises for maximum impact. All the birds brighten the surroundings.The spaces inside are grand with copious art work and comfortable furniture. The kitchen is well appointed with serving dishes, pots, pans and utensils for cooking.My wife and I look forward to next year!

I have been renting high end vacation homes for years, for family gatherings. This oasis is in my top 3. We will be back and for longer. It is perfect for my outdoorsy, fun-loving family! We took several hikes and runs in the great weather. We love food and cooking together and this well appointed kitchen fills the bill. We love enjoying time outside together and this space is perfect. Also between the many outside sitting areas (including the massive covered porch with the fireplace for cool mornings), the many bird feeders frequented by many species of birds and the hot tub we wiled away time visiting and soaking up the serenity. I saw a Rufus Humming bird!It is clear the owner of this property loves ambience as much as we do! The landscape, plants, decorations, lighting and art are delightful. So many occurrences of attention to detail. Allison, the host, was wonderfully attentive. We are already trying to get schedules sorted for another booking.

A Slice of Paradise in the Desert!

Our two adult sons and one son’s fiancé stayed here with my husband and I for a few days in early June. This house was perfect for our family to spend precious, joyous time together and find private time apart to unwind after outdoor adventures together (like white water rafting!) It’s so rare to find a vacation rental with sufficient, comfortable seating for five (and more) on the patio, at the dinner table, and front of the TV. Although this was the *first* vacation when nobody even turned the TV on, it was nice to know we could have watched a movie together without rearranging anything. The view of the mountains from the covered patio at any time of day, the patio’s fireplace at night, the varieties of birds that visited the many bird feeders around the yard, the lovely landscaping, the hot tub, and the fantastic number of stars at night kept us outside for most of our waking hours at this house. When we finally yielded and went to sleep each night, the beds were wonderfully comfortable.The location was so quiet and felt so private! The property sits along an unpaved road, which is off another unpaved road, so traffic through the neighborhood was almost nonexistent. The nearest neighbors were absolutely silent, so it was like we were staying in a remote location on our own, and yet, we were only a few minutes’ drive away from stores and restaurants. We made so many sweet memories in just a few days in this lovely home. I highly recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Allison Hayne

Host profile image
I started spending my summers in Northern New Mexico in 1982! I have a deep love for this land and have so many amazing memories. After selling our home in Utah we decided to buy another home in Taos. There is so much to love about Taos - you can ski, bike, hike, bird, fish, the list goes on and on....I love the people in this town, they are laid back and have a deep love of the culture and traditions of the region. We hope that you will find the Land of Enchantment as enchanting as we do.

Why they chose this property

Great location, feels very private and remote yet we have neighbors to lean on if needed.

What makes this property unique

What Makes 23 Buena Vista Special

Experience the magic of Northern New Mexico from this beautifully designed retreat tucked beneath towering cottonwoods with sweeping views of Taos Mountain. Located in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from Taos Plaza, 23 Buena Vista offers the perfect combination of peaceful seclusion and easy access to the area's best dining, shopping, art galleries, outdoor adventures, and world-class skiing.

Thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind, the home features warm Southwestern architecture, abundant natural light, and inviting indoor and outdoor living spaces. Start your mornings with coffee on the patio as the sun rises over the mountains, spend your afternoons exploring Taos, and end the day beneath some of the darkest, most star-filled skies in the country.

Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, a ski trip, or a relaxing escape with friends, you'll appreciate the home's spacious layout, tranquil setting, and unforgettable mountain views. Wildlife sightings—including coyotes, bobcats, hummingbirds, and a variety of native songbirds—are common, adding to the sense of being immersed in nature while remaining just a short drive from town.

From hiking, skiing, rafting, mountain biking, and fly fishing to discovering Taos' rich history, vibrant arts community, and renowned restaurants, adventure awaits in every season. At the end of the day, 23 Buena Vista welcomes you home to relax, reconnect, and experience the authentic beauty of Northern New Mexico.

This isn't just a place to stay—it's a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and create lasting memories.
