About this property

Take a trip back in time when life was much simpler. There is nothing but silence, the sound of the Rio Hondo River and the rustling of the century old cottonwoods. You can sit by a 100' pond and watch the friendly Mr. Goose and the wild Mallard Ducks or you can set by the River Hondo and watch it make it's way to the Rio Grand.
A short walking distance to the other side of the property is the working part of the farm, consisting of Alpacas, Chickens and of course the gentle Great Pyrenees who watch over all. You can learn the history of the Alpaca and visit out studio to see what we do with the Alpaca fiber.
We are located on a 13 acre private estate half between Taos and Taos Ski Valley.
The cottage has a full kitchen, bathroom with tub shower combo and a living room bedroom combo area.
Please visit our other guest house and read the reviews. Listing #304504.
