CHARMING TAOS ADOBE HOME
About this house rental
Located in Ranchos De Taos, this lovely house for $185 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. 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

Charming vintage adobe home. Clean, cozy and warm. Kiva fireplace with ample piñon firewood, made mornings and nights lovely.
2 full baths, warm showers, 2 cozy beds for the 4 of us. Functional fully stocked kitchen with paper towels, coffee, sugar, salt/pepper. Full sized fridge. Large communal dining table.
Washing machine did not work, hoses were not connected and never could get an answer about getting clothes washed over a 5 day/ 4 night stay.

Loved this property. Such an artistic Taos adobe home feel.

This is a very old home with quirks so don’t expect it to be modern. We were disappointed to find there wasn’t any salt in the kitchen when we arrived...I didn’t think we would need to bring our own salt. Most of the pans were non-stick but had some damage so we didn’t use those. There was a cast iron skillet but it needs to be completely cleaned and reseasoned. That left one stainless steel pot to do all of our cooking in. There were only 2 of us so we made it work but for more people it could be a challenge. The home is in a quiet, rural area and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of hot water and nice bathrooms. We had WiFi the first day but after that, we had to hotspot off my phone to have internet service.

Our group loved this home! we felt immersed in the architecture of New Mexico and all the artifacts and art of the area added to our stay. Though the floors are uneven and some of the entryways low this was not a problem for us. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Multiple outdoor seating areas enhanced our stay. This is one of our very best VRBO experiences and we recommend it highly.

This property has old Taos charm with a dose of funk. The yard for the dogs was nothing short of fabulous. We have stayed at other properties owned by this host, all of which have been great.

My elder cousin and my elder self (70s) wanted to feel the full ambiance of the Taos region and this 250 year old adobe home did not disappoint! Very secure, lovely location, and so much to take in with the home itself. Amenities for this older home were adequate and clean. (I would not recommended for anyone having walking issues as the irregularities of the floors go with the vintage of the home). I would highly recommend!

Very nice property. Enjoyed the stay. One bed sits pretty high, so most people would need a step stool.

Being over 6' had to be careful of low ceilings/doors but definitely enjoyed. Had a fire going every morning with coffee & then again every evening.

I wrote to the property manager concerning all the things that made our visit less than optimal, but she never replied. There are issues that need to be addressed at this location, but I really wanted to speak with the owner about them, and not the property manager who was not interested in the safety, repairs and cleanliness of the house.

We enjoyed the stay, but have a few suggestions for Melissa. The listing might include that there are uneven floors for information to help seniors like ourselves. Also that there are some steps to be aware of. The tub in the master bathroom might need a non-slip pad. The artwork and decor was intriguing and delightful. We enjoyed sitting at the dining table with our coffee and breakfast visiting. We were happy with the ceiling fans and the additional fans in our bedrooms. It was a terrific getaway for us and we appreciated the communication with Melissa very much.

We love this place. 2nd stay here. It's a little ways from the plaza... But wasn't an issue for us. Many great outdoor spaces... Dog-friendly/enclosed yard. No A/C (common there), was hot but nice evenings/mornings. Good sir flow w/ many doors & fans. Property Manager (Melissa) was available ∧ helpful. Would stay there again!

This property has great potential, but needs a bit of love and care.
I'll start with the good:
1. The home is spacious.
2. The kitchen is fully equipped.
3. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the home, providing privacy if two couples travel together.
4. The outdoor space was inviting.
Here are a few downsides:
1. There are holes in nearly every screen and the bugs inside the home were out of control after dark.
2. Individuals taller than 5'8" should not stay here. The ceilings and doorways are much shorter than standard buildings. I'm only 5'6" and hit my head 3 times!
3. There was no hand soap anywhere in the property; we resorted to dish soap. I don't usually bring this with me because it is always provided.
4. There is no air conditioning. Not a big deal usually, but the interior bedroom has only one window so it was unbearably too hot to sleep in, even with fans running.

We had a great stay at this beautifully decorated and comfortable listing. Will definitely book again on future trips to Taos.

We lived the historic nature of the home. Spent most of our time in the yard with our pups. Fire pit got a good work out. Great stay.

Wonderful property, so unique. Neighbors were a little loud, but it was 4th of July weekend, so to be expected.

We would like to stay again.

We loved relaxing in the outdoor yard, listening to birds and the wind in the trees. The house is cozy, nurturing, and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed. This is not a fancy place; instead it feels like home from start to finish. We appreciated the large fenced yard fr our dog.
5.0
Property is personification of NM casa from quirky decor to sloping floors.
Main criteria was finding a place for wife and I and our German Shepherd to pick up some art we had commissioned.
The large yard is fully fenced and completely secure to leave furry friend unattended.

Prior to arrival notified that the MB bath had no hot water as tank broke Owner kind enough to offer a partial refund for the inconvenience . We were lacking a few items that were necessary for our stay : communication with owner and Judy was excellent and issues resolved promptly. Home is lovely and charming as pictured in site. Area peaceful and quiet Views lovely from the garden Would definitely stay again ! Made good use of the Kivas

We had a great time. The property wasn't clean when we arrived, but the host accommodated us. the house is super cool and while out of the main part of town, navigating around Taos from this property is very easy

To start, the previous reviews about wifi and coffee- new nice coffee maker, good wifi. Good coffee provided. Cans of kindling and lighting material for kivas which was very nice on a snowy evening. Also a new Smart TV which was an upgrade. Newer fridge, very clean. Found the dog sheets easily in a basket in the dining area. The big gate works fine with drop bolts for security. This brings up a point- the owner has not updated this page to reflect these changes or addressed any negative comments and it seems endemic of a bit of neglect for this rental. Very cool old place, love the deco. Back yard fully enclosed but NOT the area off the back porch from Bedroom 1. Note: small gate in carport to fenced yard/back door is hard to keep closed, only really latches from the outside BEWARE- loose dogs around as the neighborhood is a bit sketch. The road can be a little scary as it is narrow and the locals drive it FAST. Some lovely views and peaceful scenes, close to town, but auto junkyards in near view. Better in summer when trees are leafed, lol. The large nicely landscaped yard is great for adults and cocktails but not small child safe- sharp edges on art, rocks, and open dropoff to back patio. Needs a new toaster. Kitchen is not that well set up if you cook a lot. Bring your own plastic wrap, foil, scissors. Steak knives needed. We bought a new manual can opener. Stove is old and broiler off kilter, not overly safe. Small soaps in bathrooms, a bottle of all purpose soap in bath. The place is on septic- no disposal or dishwasher. Coffee mugs for 5. We were comfortable but the place needs a good deep clean and the owner should walk it and make a punch list for small issues like broken fans and dead lightbulbs and other repairs and needed items. No response on our query about the stated portable crib and there was not one. We have used vacation rentals for 30 years and this is a solid 3.5, but priced accordingly. Nice if it is a good fit for your tastes and purposes. Try Antonio’s close by, they were on “Triple D” in November! And Taos Mesa Brewing by the Plaza was awesome and reliably open!

We really enjoyed our stay — this house is beautiful and has a ton of character. It is one we’ll remember. We were a group of 6 and were very comfortable. We had everything we needed from laundry to eating in and extra bed linens and pillows. Melissa even brought us a new coffee maker when we let her know it wasn’t working!

The property was clean and inviting. Love the old style of the home and New Mexico feel of a true adobe house. We will come again. Thank you Melissa!
4.0
The house is authentic, old, adobe style architecture, and has a real charm about it. It was rainy and chilly while we were there, thus the outdoor areas weren’t enticing as they would be otherwise. There was cut firewood available, but no real kindling to help start a fire in one of the many kiva style fireplaces, which would help take the chill off the interior space, especially in the evenings. It would have been really nice to have a pre built, ready to lite, set-up in at least one fireplace. The coffee maker needs to be replaced—it took about 1 1/2 hours to make one pot of coffee! Also the metal plate on the bottom of the toaster needs to be reattached on one end. The communication was great regarding how to find and get entry to the property, and how to leave things upon final departure. The house has many art pieces throughout the rooms, which enhanced the visual experience!

Couple issues that are hard to know unless you stay here - people should be very aware.
This is a very old house. Cute, maybe even historic. But because of that the floors are VERY uneven and brick - not good for older adults or young kids. And one bathroom door is barely 5 feet tall.
Next, it is only about 10 minutes from town when driving. But WAY too far to walk and pitch black at night when trying to come back to the house. So plan accordingly.
Lastly, internet was out the whole time we were there. So NO television, NO internet access to stream on the computers and no way to check emails. And I had 1 "bar" on my cell phone connection.
5.0
The house is surrounded by a large completely fenced yard. Art abounds everywhere inside and out. Big quirky old house was welcoming and had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay there. Only problem was that wifi couldn’t connect to the internet during our entire stay.

Rooms and home much larger than expected. Taos's streets are not always easy to navigate but GPS worked for finding this home. 2 large master bedrooms with King Size beds. The one king bed is quite high but the rooms are enormous. Because of the age of the home the floors and doors are not perfect. The art throughout the home is quite eclectic but very interesting. We had a great time and our accommodations fit the town perfectly. The coffee maker and WIFI are not quite to par with the rest of the home!

Double gate was bolted into the ground, not how to enter. We used existing crate to enter side gate access.
Haunted? You decide, our German shepard would not enter either bedroom, whenever we went in the 2nd bedrooms which is all we used, bathroom she would cry.
Low beams, understanding the oldness, still, 5'8, hit head on beams, ow.
We slept on the couches, left a day early of 2. didn’t cook or shower, asked for any partial refund, to no response.

Melissa was very easy to communicate with, and her property is just beautiful! I only wish we were able to stay longer and would stay here again next time we are in the area.
4.0
Nice property off of dirt road, with nice fenced yard. Nicely decorated with southwestern decor. Everything was fine but air conditioner in one of bedrooms did not work well. Other room had a fan and it was pretty warm sleeping. Front entryway could use work- trim back juniper to clear walkway. Could not find 'dog sheets' that were asked to be used. We would stay again, depending on time of year.
