El Prado, New Mexico
This beautiful home is in the desirable area of Blueberry Hill, ideally situated between Taos Ski Valley and Taos Plaza and the lovely little artists village of Arroyo Seco. It is also close to the stunning Rio Grande Gorge. Some of the best restaurants you will ever dine in are in Taos (from hamburgers at Five Star Burgers, Wine and cheeses at pärCht in the Plaza, to Medely, Sobroso, The Love Apple and Lambert's just to name a few)! Top quality galleries abound here too! Actually, the shopping in Taos and Arroyo Seco is excellent as well as lots of fun! Fishing, mountain climbing, hiking and mountain biking are fabulous AND it goes without saying that the skiing is top notch!
Our house is truly your HOME away from home. It is appointed with many of our collected Indian artifacts and original art from across the country that recall the craftsmanship of days gone by. We want to to feel that you are at your home. It is ready for you to relax and enjoy.
The home has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths as well as a screened in sunroom and a weaving studio, an easel if you are interested in painting! A 3 day weaving class can be arranged for you if you are interested. Let me know. There are classes in Arroyo Seco too. Take a class and take home an amazing weaving!
A fully stocked kitchen is perfect for those who WANT to cook and a dishwasher for those that do NOT want to hand wash those dishes! There are beautiful rugs and incredible artwork all over the home as well as Native Indian artifacts that we have collected over the years. Bold, beautiful viga ceilings are seen throughout the house. DirecTV is the cable provider. Pay Per View is available for an additional fee. Three 42 inch flat screen televisions are in the 3 bedrooms and a 55 inch television is in the TV room. Internet service is also provided (if you happen to get tired of all that outdoor fun!).
There are lots of kid friendly movies for their entertainment as well as sleds, board games and toys.
In the spring/summer months you might enjoy outdoor cooking on the grill. Spend time relaxing in the hot tub ANY time of the year. In the warm months, climb the stairs to the OBSERVATION DECK and watch falling stars. There is furniture up there to watch the wonders of the universe (and we do have a telescope in the chest in the dining area. The cushions are stored in a chest up there as they tend to blow about a bit as the winds come up in the early evening from time to time.
There are two carports, 4 different patio areas, a wonderful garden full of fresh veggies for your enjoyment and the property around the house is fenced and gated.
You might want to bring some canvas and paints also because we have an easel in the weaving studio that could easily be moved to the patio in the front of the studio if you wanted to paint outside. It is just absolutely a wonderful, tranquil and yet energizing vacation spot.
Everything about this rental is perfect! Better than the pictures show!! Owner is hands off yet available if needed. We WILL be back! ❤️
We have stayed here several times and always enjoy our visits. The house is beautifully decorated, comfortable and conveniently located. The kitchen is well stocked. The yard has lots of nice plants and several seating areas. Marcia the owner is so pleasant to work with and responds to any inquiries very quickly. We look forward to staying here again the next time we’re in Taos.
Loved the separate bedrooms at either end of the home so we all had space to ourselves and still had space in the middle for visiting. Hot tub was very soothing. Loved the viewing deck for sunrise, sunset, and star gazing. Dark skies there are amazing! Had a wonderful hot air balloon ride with Rio Grande Balloons flying down the Rio Grande River Gorge and toasting at the bridge afterwards.
My family enjoyed a wonderful get-away to Toas in this beautifully decorated home. It exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed soaking in the Hot Tub, gazing at the stars from the upper deck, and gathering in the thoughtful spaces throughout the property. We will definitely come back for another visit.
This was an excellent location . The house is filled with interesting ang beautiful art. It was a perfect place to stay in a beautiful area to visit. Our only regret was not staying longer.
We loved our time at this lovely home. Plenty of space- inside and out. Minutes to town, yet felt so peaceful and quiet. Would love to stay here again!
We rented Buffalo Moon for a little getaway to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. The property was perfect for the 5 of us. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. My parents favorite part was the gardens! They put on a lovely show. The home has EVERYTHING a guest might need and the beds are quite comfy. My only suggestion is that the owner might consider getting bigger beds, as those of us who are used to the space of a king find it hard to go backwards…but that is a small complaint and I wouldn’t change my 5 star rating because of it. The property really is perfect and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to friends visiting Taos.
Everything is amazing about this house. The cleanliness, decor, quaintness, attention to detail. The only down point is that there is no AC and I don’t remember seeing this info on the description. It was extremely hot (summer time) and even with the fans and opening windows in the evening it was difficult to maintain a nice temperature inside. We are Floridians and AC is our lifeline. Though I feel it was important to mention, I also want to say that this property is a total gem and its owner very responsive and kind. I would recommend highly and I would go back in a heart beat, maybe in the spring or fall when temps are not that high.
After being away from Taos for a number of years, it was a pleasure to stay at Buffalo Moon. The interior design details were an homage to the SW and beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped and labeled for easy access. Most importantly, there was great coffee on hand and much appreciated. The beds were comfortable for our party of 4. The outside patios were very nice with as much attention to detail as seen inside the house. We loved the roof patio, which provided a 360 degree view of Taos Valley. The pictures give one an excellent idea of what it is like inside. The owner was very responsive and provided great recommendations for things to do and places for dinner.
We've recently returned from a trip to Taos, made ever so special by our stay at Buffalo Moon! The house is comfortable and spacious, and located on the high mesa just north of town. The house's location is very convenient, with Arroyo Seco, Taos Ski Valley, the downtown Plaza, as well as Ranchos de Taos, just minutes away. The views of the mountains are magnificent from both the front porch and back patio, and the rooftop observation deck is perfect for stargazing. The owner, Marcia, is extremely accommodating and very helpful with recommendations about local attractions and restaurants. All in all, a wonderful week spent in a very relaxing, beautiful home. Couldn't have been better! We look forward to returning!
Wow! What a stay! We enjoyed one week at this gorgeous home! Such a beautiful spot nestled in a sea of beautiful sagebrush and surrounded by mountains everywhere you look! This home is a quiet retreat in a with so many beautiful things to look at and enjoy both inside the home and outside in the beautiful gardens that surround it! The owner is an artist and the home is full of beautiful artwork! We enjoyed leisurely mornings with our coffee on the back patio with spectacular mountains and the flower garden to gaze upon! We even had a kitty that would visit us daily for a few pets and some treats, then he’d be on his way to wherever he came from. Sunset on the rooftop deck is spectacular as well as stargazing! Evenings were enjoyed in the hot tub! Taos has a very laid back vibe with many delicious restaurants to chose from! We did a lot of exploring and scenic drives to take in the surrounding beauty, definitely a spot we will return to! If you are looking for a quiet, cozy and beautiful place for your next vacation…you have just found it! Marcia, the homeowner, is a fantastic host, full of excellent recommendations of places to see and great restaurants to experience! Looking forward to returning! Buffalo Moon will remain in my heart forever as one of our most favorite vacation spots!
Love the stay, very comfortable and accommodating
Lovely home for relaxing and taking in the gorgeous Taos surroundings! Thank you
Buffalo Moon exceeded our expectations. I personally did not leave the property a whole lot due to its peacefulness and the fact there was so much to see and study in the house. It is like a museum of art and artifacts! The gardens were beautiful as everything was in bloom. A team of landscapers came to care for everything while we were there so you know things are well maintained. A spa tech also came by to do scheduled maintenance on the hot tub which was reassuring that is also well maintained. The beds were super comfortable and the linens used are high quality. The views from the windows of the surrounding mountains are very spectacular. We look forward to visiting again!
We had an excellent stay in Taos and the property made it that much more special. The layout was great, allowing for both gatherings of friends and privacy as well. The house was also in a beautiful setting, in a very nice neighborhood.
The home is beautiful and appointed with absolutely everything you could need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The views from the house are stunning. The setting is peaceful but convenient to all the area has to offer. Our family had a wonderful time.
