Beds include bunk bed with double mattresses top and bottom, plus twin bed with trundle-bed that pulls out and up for another twin (together same size as king). Loft is enclosed and private from downstairs. Loft has full bathroom with separated sink and shower/tub/toilet areas, so one guest can have a private shower while access remains open to sink/prep.

The kitchen has stainless steel counters with integrated farm sink, and top-end stainless appliances. The counter-depth fridge holds a week's worth of provisions and refreshments. The granite island has garnet accents that glow in the warm lighting, and halogen spotlights make for a bright, functional, modern entertaining space. Microwave, electric teapot, crockpot and blender are included, along with a coffee station (drip, not Keurig). The dining room opens into a great room with vaulted ceiling, including leather couch, love-seat and reclining chair. A high-efficiency fireplace pumps out heat and mountain charm. A game/puzzle table leads to the staircase to loft. Great room opens onto deck with panoramic western views.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Molly McBranch

We love the New Mexico outdoors, and skiing is our family activity in the winter.
Why they chose this property
The Village of Taos Ski Valley is a friendly mountain community that combines the best of American western wilderness with Austrian ski resort, with incredible access to winter and summer wilderness. This location is close to the center of the Village, with easy access to ski trails, yet in a very quiet and private setting away from ski valley traffic. Being directly across from the charming Rio Hondo creek offers year-round sounds of a mountain stream.
What makes this property unique
Taos Ski Valley is the premier ski destination in the west if you appreciate great snow, varied terrain including incredible steeps, while being immersed in the deep blue sunny skies of New Mexico. For the visitors who love art but not skiing, Taos and the nearby village of Arroyo Seco offer galleries and the historic Taos culture that seem a continent apart from the Austrian alpine setting of the ski valley, yet are only a short drive down the valley.
