CHARMING TAOS ADOBE HOME

Great traditional adobe home. Spacious with well equipped kitchen. Having a washer/dryer was a big plus. Very quiet and nice shaded outdoor dining area.

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.

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!

My only complaint is that the kiva fireplaces were a selling point for me but there was not any dry wood, kindling, paper or matches. Also the house is filled with lovely voltive holders, but no candles. I emailed the manager, but got no response

The property was pet friendly, I am not sure if there was a mountain view from inside the house. Honestly for those wanting to experience an authentic adobe home instead of a new contemporary house this is one of the coolest houses I have ever stayed in. If we could I would have stayed for a couple days. Very comfortable to just hang out in.

Our stay was awesome! The home was eclectic and cozy. A fire in the pit was perfect to come home to after a day on the mountain. Being able to enjoy the private yard with our fur babies made our stay extra special. Thank you Melissa, we hope to be staying again soon!

Best and most unique house I’ve ever stayed at.

We loved our historic adobe. The fluffy robes were a hit, the sofa bed I slept on was so comfortable. I made a fire in the kitchen fireplace every morning.and mostvl evenings. We enjoyd the sunsets on the back porch and the rainfall at night. We took our time to study all of the art work, probably years in collecting. The home had soul,and felt it was a labor of love on.Melissa's part. She had all the little things we needed in toiletries.

This is a very interesting and unusual house. We felt like we were in a different country when staying there because of its age, style and quirks. There are a lot of things to love about the house, it's comfortable, has a beautiful and private outdoor space and is in an older neighborhood. The reasons I knocked one star off my review are that there was something, sugar or salt maybe, all over the kitchen floor and it crunched every time you took a step. There isn't a dishwasher, which is fine, but the sponge by the sink looked like it had cleaned who knows what and it was what the previous guest had used to wash the dishes. We had to rewash everything we wanted to use with dish soap and paper towels. I would highly advise the manager to splurge and give each guest a new sponge for the dishes. There was also mouse poop in one of the pots. The only other issue was two of the neighbors. I realize there isn't much the home owner or manager can do about it but one of the neighbors kept driving around with their music so loud that it actually made the windows rattle. Not the home's fault but it happened quite a few times and woke us up. That said, would I recommend the place for anyone who wants to experience the realNew Mexico? Absolutely!

We enjoyed our stay.

Nice little Adobe home, perfect for small family or two couples with 2 bedroom and 2 bath. Rustic, but clean and convenient to downtown Taos. Easy check-in and check-out.

Check in was exactly as stated. Very easy to get in.

The home was a unique old adobe home that we really enjoyed. It is old, so comments about uneven floors and low doorways come with this. It was part of the charm for us. We enjoyed the rural area & the fenced in yard was perfect for our pets, and the cute porch off the master bedroom was blissful in the mornings. The home was clean and very comfortable. There were some ants in the kitchen, but for a 250 year old house, this is not unexpected.

I rented this “VRBO” (turns out it is not licensed for rental per Taos City Ordinance) for my girlfriends and I to stay in for our girls trip June 18-23, 2025 and to celebrate my husband, who passed away in February 2024. It looked great on the VRBO Site, and the description turned out not to be accurate. The “HOST”, says there are 2 Swamp Coolers available to use (being from Texas, we know how to use them), and only found one, so I let her know and she responded that since she put a ceiling fan in the 1st bedroom ( the blades hit the rafters making a horrible racket, so basically useless), we didn’t need a 2nd one. She said just open the doors and windows for air- the screens had holes in them and there was no screen door on the main entrance door. Listen- you are in the middle of nowhere, neighborhood is sketchy and 3 women alone- no way we’re going to leave those open! The electricity was mediocre at best- took literally 2 hours to make a pot of coffee and after leaving phones and tablets to charge overnight, they only charged to 60%!!! The yard was overgrown, we could see the trailer out the windows, electrical sockets were missing covers, I could go on!!! After spending 1 night (booked for 5), we contacted “THE HOST”, AGAIN, explained that this was not what was in the description, nor did she offer to bring another Swamp Cooler, and that we wanted to cancel the rest of the reservation. “THE HOST” said she would refund me for the other 4 nights - no refund! Vrbo neither!

Was a nice respit from a long drive. Really neat house!!

This place is Totally Taos. Such an enchanting home and space. The trees and surroundings provide a peaceful oasis that's filled with the sounds of birds, frogs and coyotes, and incredible mountain views. The fenced yard was perfect for the two dogs. The location ideal for anything happening in Taos or nearby. We love it.

This home was awesome, the art everywhere was a nice reminder of where we were. Beautiful gate that opens to a pretty sweet sanctuary-like area. We were mistaken on our booking (totally my fault) and Melissa was so nice and understand, I really appreciated that grace!

Property had plenty of space for all of us. Loved the kiva fireplaces since it was snowing! Kitchen and dining area were great.

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.

The home is clean with plenty of room. Would definitely stay there again!

This home has the original charm of old New Mexico. It is very clean and well kept. The beds and linens are very comfortable. All in all a terrific place to stay when in the Taos area.

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.

Love the historical significance of the property, the kiva fireplace, the 3 different gas fireplaces, the cozy bathrobes!

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!

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!

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.

Very nice, clean, traditional adobe home.
