About this property

CHARMING TAOS ADOBE HOME

This is a wonderful old Taos adobe home. The original house (now bedroom #2) was once the home of a family of 9-kitchen and bath then were outdoors. It is thought to be 250+ years old and is considered an historical property. Like many Taos homes it was added to in the ensuing years.

This home is delightful for a couple. It is a spacious home which is unusual for an old adobe. The layout is perfect for a couple and would be especially comfortable for two couples since the two good sized bedrooms each have full, private baths and are separated by the sunroom and great room. There is a queen sofa sleeper in the sunroom and in the great room is another queen sofa sleeper. Both have new gel foam mattresses Both have all bedding. Cost for these sofa sleepers is $25 per guest per night which can be left at departure.
The house is cozy in the winter due to thick adobe walls, two operable kiva fireplaces and very efficient gas heaters in great room and each of the two bedrooms.. There is always a good supply of firewood under the carport.
Summer is delightful and cool inside with screened operable windows and swamp coolers . Great for outdoor living with a covered deck off master bedroom and a wonderful front flagstone patio/ covered portal with table and chairs, BBQ and outdoor fireplace. The house is furnished with interesting antiques. sculpture and original art. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready to produce those gourmet feasts or a quick snack for two. Bathroom #2 has a washer and dryer for those chores that call out even on vacation. The yard is fenced and well behaved dogs are welcome at a small additional fee. ($10 per night per dog. which you may leave at the home."Mutt Mitts" are located in a decorative box outside and "Dog Sheets" provided inside for sofas and beds.
This home was featured on this summers Taos Home & Garden Tour in August for 500+ tour goers. This is my fourth home to be featured on a Tour! Too much fun and such a great compliment to my style!
We just finished re doing both baths with tile and new tubs and great tilework around all kiva fireplaces as well as new flagstone hearths and bancos (benches).
If my calendar shows this home as booked please look at Vrbo 273116 or Vrbo 860840. These are two and three bedroom homes that I also own in Taos.


The house has a wonderful, peaceful feeling and yet is only a few minutes from all Taos has to offer..good restaurants, shops, galleries, the Taos Pueblo and many great outdoor activities).

Keywords: cozy, yet spacious, beautifully decorated and mountain views too and pet friendly

Great place, very accommodating host

Such an awesome place. Very unique and charming and lots of history. Melissa was very accommodating with a last minute request to bring a dog with us (also a very friendly pet policy) and easy to communicate with as well. Would stay here again.

Convenient location with character

We loved the stay in this classic adobe home with so much character. We had everything we needed. The place was clean and we loved the kiva fireplaces that were well-stocked with wood. Our dog enjoyed the backyard as well.

Beautifully decorated, historic adobe home

Wonderful adobe home with lots of character and great artwork! Has been expanded over the years so each room has unique flooring. Great outdoor space. Wish we’d had more time to really enjoy it. One bed is really high so if you’re short (5’2” or under) bring a step stool!

Great weather and yard to sit outside

Old SW charm overall. However, for one of us who is 81, the uneven floors and step down area from the bedroom were a worry for falling creating some tension to the stay. Also, lighting was poor for older eyes, especially for people who read. The outside was lovely and so enjoyable to sit out and enjoy the cool weather in nature.

We enjoyed our stay here. There was plenty of room for all four of us. Our dog loved the fenced in yard. Some doorways are definitely short, but it just added to the ambiance! FYI: there is no dishwasher.

Fantastic Old Adobe Bungalow

Charming is a great descriptor for this home! We really enjoyed our brief stay here. Our only regret was not having more time in Taos and at the house. Loved the quirky artwork and the feel of the place. Missing some modern amenities like a modern kitchen, but it honestly would feel out of place here. Very comfortable and cozy space. Everything was as advertised in the description. Looking forward to staying here again in the future!

A true Taos feeling!

This CHARMING TAOS ADOBE HOME is historic, funky, well decorated and has everything you need for a great Taos experience. Don't expect the latest in upgrades as this home embodies the spirit and ambiance of 100 to 250 years ago in the Taos Valley. You can imagine the Spanish and European settlers living out their life in this beautiful setting. The bedrooms are comfortable, the bathrooms and laundry are efficient and workable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook and serve family meals. The furnishings are eclectic and fun. The outside fireplace is mesmerizing and the mountain views are spectacular. The location is central to all the sights and sounds of Taos and the Rio Grande Valley. If you are looking for a truly mystical Taos experience this is it. Highly recommended!

Never stay just one night

This place was dreamy - no one should stay only 1 night because the home is like a destination for relaxing, reading, meditating, or just bonding with a friend, partner, or family member. Go in May when the weather is perfect, and the lilacs are blooming -it's a place to be quiet and appreciate art.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa /Taos mgr.

Host profile image
I was a California landscaper who wanted a simpler life so I moved to Taos. I fell in love with an old adobe home by the river and bought it. Then I fell in love with another old adobe and bought it for a vacation rental. I now own 11 vacation rentals in Taos. Everything from one bedroom apartments, one two and three bedroom homes. All are listed on Vrbo.

Why they chose this property

I love old adobe homes. They have such substance, personality and character This house has a cozy and welcoming feeling that everyone who has stayed here comments on and yet for an old adobe is amazingly spacious. The house has a private enclosed yard, is nicely landscaped.

What makes this property unique

This home has the charm of an old adobe (original room 250 years+) but has all the modern amenities we expect. It is in a quiet location, yet only minutes from all Taos has of offer (i.e. restaurants, galleries, the pueblo and outdoor adventures) I love the deck for sunsets and the outdoor patio, the 2 working kiva fireplaces (Great room and Sunroom) the wood and brick floors and the 46 (count them!) overhead vigas as well as the 14' thick walls. I live in town and am available to answer any questions or provide information.
