Conveniently located, it’s a perfect home-base for your next Taos getaway! Are you tired of settling for worn-out accommodations furnished with secondhand furniture, all managed by impersonal national management companies? Well, breathe a sigh of relief because we couldn't agree more! This home reflects our love for Taos, a passion for travel, and a lot of hard work curating an exceptional stay. As past reviews reflect, our goal is that you feel like you are in a home and not a rental. Welcome to your new favorite Taos Airbnb! Arriving at the property, you will find covered parking for two vehicles under the carport. Additional vehicles can park on the gravel driveway. The front door is equipped with a WiFi-enabled smart lock to ensure a stress-free check in (rest assured, we’ve got a key in a convenient lockbox should an issue arise with the lock). Under the covered front portal, there is an antique wood bench. Enjoy a morning cup of coffee or simply bask in the glory of a perfect waiting spot. Complimentary firewood for the indoor kiva fireplace and outdoor cone fireplace is stacked near the front door. Living Room: As you step into the home, you will enter a bright and spacious living room with tall viga ceilings and mountain views. A genuine leather Article sofa, a pair of leather West Elm chairs, and a comfortable pouf offer seating for 6. The walls are decorated with original art and proofs from our favorite local southwest artists, including Micqaela Jones, Deborah Duran Geiger and more! To your right, there is a wood burning kiva fireplace. While the home has radiant floor heating, you’re encouraged to make a small fire to up the cozy factor on those cool desert nights. To the left, there is a 65-inch Roku HD TV. Please BYOL (bring your own logins) to enjoy all of your own streaming services.

Contemporary bedside tables and a matching dresser, reading lights and a full-length mirror ensure the bedroom is fully appointed.

The kitchen also boasts custom granite countertops with bar seating illuminated by stylish ombre pendant lights. For those indulging, we provide glasses and bar accessories. It’s a perfect spot to spend time together and reminisce. Cheers! Basic oils and spices are provided. We also stock bamboo dishes for kids and dog bowls for our furry family members. Dining Room: The dining room has a family-style table that accommodates 6 with beautiful views out the front and back windows. Both a highchair and booster seat are available for the little ones. Behind the double doors in the dining room, there is a laundry room with a new LG washing machine and dryer (large capacity and amazingly quiet!). Complimentary laundry detergent and dryer sheets are provided. Essential cleaning products are available for guest use as needed (no cleaning expectations, we just know that every family has a brother-in-law that makes a mess!). A selection of our favorite board games is available for your enjoyment. Backyard: The backdoor opens onto a small rear portal. Down one step and to the right you’ll walk down a small decline to the property’s large flagstone patio and modern pergola. Eat al fresco by the light of overhead string lights and take in the spectacular mountain vistas (sunrise and dusk are something special). Sitting next to or sitting in the Sage Swing amongst the sagebrush, you’ll hear the crickets, smell the sagebrush, and feel the breeze as you unwind! Just beyond the patio are the owner-restored midcentury Majestic cone fireplace and the brand-new luxury Nordic hot tub. Reconnect with family and friends as you cook up smores or drink a glass (or two!) of wine and end a perfect day by relaxing in the hot tub under a blanket of stars.
