Escape to Pacifico, an authentic two bedroom adobe home set on a full acre between Taos and Taos Ski Valley. Handcrafted details, soaring viga ceilings, sweeping southern Rocky Mountain views, and a private hot tub make this a peaceful base for adventure or quiet restoration. Comfortably sleeps 6.
Step into a warm, sunlit living room framed by high viga ceilings and wide windows that showcase the Taos mountains. Gather around the traditional wood burning kiva fireplace for fireside board games or unwind with satellite TV on the 55" flat screen. The open, fully stocked kitchen features high quality appliances — gas range, microwave, refrigerator, and ultra quiet dishwasher — plus cookware and pantry staples for effortless meals. Dine together at the generously sized table or grill on the back patio while watching the sunset reflect off the mountains.
Curl up in the library among floor to ceiling bookshelves, stream music via Bluetooth, or sip wine on the private front patio while listening to the soft wind through the tees. After a day exploring, soak in the private hot tub beneath a moonlit sky so clear you can see the Milky Way.

Other things to note: The water used for your stay is sourced from a private shared well with our neighbors. Due to drought conditions, we ask for your consideration in conserving water when possible.
As with most homes in Taos, Pacifico is NOT equipped with A/C. The materials used to build adobe homes tend to naturally regulate temperatures, reducing the need for air cooling. Please use provided ceiling fans and open windows (not doors!) at night to cool the home down. Close windows and shades during the day to keep the home cool.
Winter Access: the private roads in our community are not plowed during winter storms. Guests should be comfortable navigating snowy/icy conditions.
Homes in El Prado are located on large lots in the high desert. Although we hire professionals to provide pest control for insects and mice, their presence is a reality of the New Mexico environment. Although rare, critters occasionally find their way into homes. Your assistance in keeping doors closed will help keep the pests out.

Very nice and well kept property that’s close to skiing. We enjoyed the hot tub, fireplace, and the general New Mexican style landscape and accommodations. Recommend highly!
We stayed here for the majority of our honeymoon and had an absolutely incredible time! The hot tub under the stars with the Mountain View was absolutely magical, and getting to see the runtime and sunset every day added special moments to every day. The bed and couch were both so comfortable, we would definitely stay here again!
This is our second stay at Pacifico - we hope it won’t be the last. Perfect spot for the two of us - and very pet friendly. The location (and the view) are perfect. We had one small issue upon arrival- but George responded immediately and appropriately. This is our favorite spot in Taos area.
This was our second stay at this property. Love the location with the Mountain views. The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had an 18 month old with us and enjoying having a pac-n-play, booster seat and plastic dishes. We cooked a few meals and had everything we needed including spices. Wonderful stay!
I thoroughly enjoy staying at this home. It is convenient to Taos and everywhere I needed to be. I would recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in the northern Taos area.

We had a very nice stay at El Pacifico and would definitely come back. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our family. Easy access into Taos and surrounding areas.
Everything was more than we expected. The owners respect their property and that makes it easy to join them in doing so. The night sky and hot tub combo were so appreciated by us. A treasure all on its own.
We loved staying in this property. It is a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood surrounded by beautiful mountains.It had everything you needed for a very comfortable stay. I would definitely stay here in the future.
Received from the renter: Oh my! I truly hope you see this message. I think I may have unintentionally given only 1 star on each category on the review scale. I was not paying close enough attention to what I was doing at the time and only just now realized my mistake. I sincerely apologize. I intended to give 5 stars on each category. Michelle

As a native New Mexican that has traveled to all 50 states and 7 continents, it is hard to beat the mountains of northern NM. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
