About the host
Hosted by Alex & David
Taos Skyridge is a spacious, family-friendly, two-story town house located in a quiet building with free parking. It’s our refuge from the city, a launch pad to explore nature, and a place to be close to family & friends and to relax and recharge.
We are your hosts, Alex and David. Originally from Germany, I work in media and podcasting. David is a freelance fundraiser and non-profit consultant. We live in Los Angeles with our two sons, age 16 and 10.
I grew up skiing with my family in Germany and Austria, and wanted to pass on this family tradition to my sons. We have gone skiing across California, in Big Bear, Mammoth and Lake Tahoe. With Taos Skyridge, we fulfilled our long-held dream of a vacation home close to the slopes in winter and hiking, stargazing and river rafting in summer. And now we want to share that dream with you.
Why they chose this property
We are located just north of town in the neighborhood of El Prado with easy access to Taos Ski Valley as well as hiking, biking, climbing and river rafting. Our sunny corner unit sits at the edge of protected mesa lands with endless horizons and stunning views of the night sky. To the east is Taos Pueblo, a Native American World Heritage Site, and to the west is the Rio Grande Gorge.
What makes this property unique
With three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, our condo can accommodate large families and groups of friends vacationing together. We furnished the unit from scratch, taking inspiration from the rugged mountain landscape, golden light and starry skies. Our goal was to create a modern, cozy retreat with all the comforts of home.
From our place it’s a 20 minute drive to Taos Ski Valley and eight minutes into town. You get the best of both worlds: A private haven surrounded by nature with direct access to outdoor sports as well as the vibrant culture, galleries, restaurants and music scene of Taos.
We welcome dogs, kids, parents, grandparents, professionals, non-professionals, skiers, snowboarders, hikers, climbers, adventurers, nomads, and travelers of all kinds – if you are on your way from here to there, you are welcome. If this is your final destination for a lil’ while, you are welcome. Everyone is welcome at Skyridge Taos. So whether you’re here to explore the outdoors or to work or to play or just to sleep… come stay with us!
