We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. We were touring, so we didn’t have much time to sit, but the available seating in the living room was a bit awkward for a conversation. Otherwise, a big thumbs up for this property.

Nice property close to downtown Taos

Great property located close to Kit Carson Park and downtown Taos. Easy walk to galleries and restaurants. We welcomed the comfortable rooms with air conditioning. Clean spaces with interesting decor. The porches were nice to sit on outside in the cool evenings.

Beautiful home, great location

We got exactly what was described. This is a beautiful home conveniently located within blocks of the plaza. Just a short walk to our favorites...La Cueva, Michaels, all the shops and galleries. You might think there would be noise....only that of the magpies, ravens, and the prairie dogs. The back porch is great, the front gardens beautiful. Just go ahead and book it!

Perfect Taos getaway

The house is stunning, appointed in the traditional SW style. It’s very comfortable with tons of windows and lots of room to lounge yet the bedrooms are nice and private. An easy walk through the park to downtown and a 30 minute drive to Taos Valkey ski area. We will be back.

This beautiful house is set off the road and has views of mountains.The interior is furnished with authentic New Mexico style furniture. The kitchen and dining area are large, well equipped and can accommodate family style dining. We found the heated floor a nice extra in the winter.

About the host

Hosted by James and Monica Smits

Host profile image

James & Monica Smits are the owners of Aspen Traders in Leadville, CO. Both of us grew up in Colorado and have fond memories of coming to Taos as children. We are inspired by the foods, fashion, arts & culture of Northern New Mexico. James has been a potter for over 40 years and continues to work gradually, focusing primarily on stoneware functional ware. Much of the work in the Taos hacienda kitchen is made by James. Monica puts her creative energy into designing our stores and living spaces. Color and light are her inspiration.

Why they chose this property

This house sits on a large lot near undeveloped Taos Pueblo lands so it is generally very quiet (unless there is a concert in Kit Carson Park, which is fun in a different way). You are close enough to walk to the Adobe Bar at the Taos Inn for their famous Margaritas and Free Live Music every night of the year (take a small flashlight, the lane can be dark). This property is only a block away from Mable Dodge Luhan house (Dennis Hopper's Mud Palace) where you might enjoy getting brunch (reservations required). My favorite aspect of the house is watching birds, bunnies and prairie dogs while the clouds float over the mountains all around.
