About this house rental
Welcome to our guesthouse nestled among 200 year old cottonwood trees overlooking acres of pasture with roaming miniature donkeys, llamas, ostrich emu and our horses!
This is an exquisite setting on a family ranch formerly run with cattle and bison. Our family has been here for over 300 years, farming, ranching and tending the land. This is not your typical setting. Its bucolic, fresh, open and....green!
The casita is a one bedroom, one bath with a balcony to enjoy the valley and mountain views while sipping your tea in the morning. We sit on about 20 acres and a private driveway, but the "jewel of Taos County- Arroyo Seco" is just a 10 minute walk down the road with 2 restaurants, and Taos Cow Ice Cream (voted in the top 10 in the nation!). There is also a grocery store, bar and a local dive to enjoy famous New Mexican chili!
If you prefer to walk in the opposite direction, you can walk up to trails that offer the best of wild and natural in Taos County. Walk along the creek to the craggy cliffs, or up to the waterfalls that veil the caves behind them. Or sit among the cottonwoods and enjoy a spectacular sunset!
Past guests describe our place as:
“Stunning”
“AMAZING”
“Extraordinarily beautiful”
“Hidden gem”
“Perfect, perfect, perfect!”
We are also a WEDDING VENUE! We’ve hosted several weddings in this idyllic setting. Imagine a big white tent among curated gardens, grassy fields, expansive mountain views and surrounded by exotic animals! Past weddings have included a hot air balloon and a horse-drawn carriage. Take a peek:

Come see for yourself!
We pride ourselves in a pet-free and smoke-free setting. Please note that we have cigarette smoke detectors that are checked after every stay. If there is an indication that there was smoking or pets in the guesthouse we will add a $450 cleaning fee so rest assured you will be in a smoke free setting! Finally, the entrance is up one flight of stairs so if you have trouble with stairs, this might not be your best housing option.

I’ve stayed here before. Very nice property. Really like the location. Notes are nice. Property has everything I would need. Can’t think of anything that wasn’t great.

Our original hotel overbooked even though we had a reservation on a trip to go skiing in Taos. We needed a quick pivot for our stay and my husband found this. The property and casita was well kept with easy access and lovely views. Communication with the host was excellent and timely. I will say one of the most unique and awesome parts of our stay was seeing and meeting the animals that live in the pasture. My kids and I sat at the fence edge the first day for a full 20 minutes just watching them in the pasture. We even got to meet Ceasar the Yak the second day! If you are looking for a quiet spot that has easy access to the mountain or downtown its a great option. You are also very close to Taos Cow which has amazing ice cream and breakfast.

I stayed for six nights and David and Kris’s delightful, nicely equipped little apartment above their garage. The location is idyllic and so peaceful. I loved sitting on the balcony and watching the sun rise over Taos Mountain and then set down in the valley. The views are magnificent. It’s an easy rural walk down to Arroyo Seco. And an equally convenient drive into Taos. I loved every moment.
