Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico
The serene Taos Ski and Mountain Bike home is a quiet 2 acre sanctuary with expansive views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range to the edge of the Rio Grande river. The house is a split level duplex. Each level is fully private. You enter the upper property. You enter into the main room where Taos Mountain can be seen to your left while the Rio Hondo is 1 km in the distance. The Rio Hondo drains the melting snow from the Taos Ski Valley Resort located just 2O minutes up the road. Take in the views from the deck or sit back in the sofa with a warm fire in the wood stove. The master bedroom has a California King bed, full bath with subway tiles on two walls allowing for ample natural light into the space.
The oversized kitchen has all the amenities and utensils you need to cook a delicious meal, including a full set of pots and pans, cookware, dinnerware, flatware, serving ware, drink ware, and linens. Please help yourself to organic coffee, popcorn and pasta in the jars on the counter. You can choose to make coffee in three ways: pour over, an Italian Bialetti or a French press.
The wifi is strong and was trenched to the house so it would be as secure and consistent as possible. When working remotely, you will be able to download documents, stream movies, live events and Zoom.
Taos Ski Valley has been featured in Outside Magazine's 2023 list of Best Places to Visit in the U.S. for Adventure! "Aside from its reputation for driving change, the main reason skiers flock to this resort in northern New Mexico is for the uncrowded, low-key vibe. That and the quick hike to steep chutes off the West Basin, bird’s-eye views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from atop 12,481-foot Kachina Peak, and the green-chile-stuffed breakfast burritos. . ." Outside Magazine.
Location and Activities
Tres Lomas is a quiet rural community just minutes from the World UNESCO Heritage Site of Taos Pueblo and the thriving art and food community of Taos. Right out the front door are hundreds of trails for mountain and gravel biking. You can leave your bike on the front porch and soak in a quiet peaceful time to recuperate after a long ride or hike. The Carson National Forest offers amazing hiking and camping and fishing while the Rio Grande is located just 2km to the west. At the Rio Grande you can find sandy beaches that allow for excellent swimming in summer or take a rafting and kayaking trip down the Rio for an exciting challenge on class 3 rapids. You can visit the nearby Manby Hot Springs (made famous in the movie "Easy Rider" with Dennis Hopper) for a relaxing soak. Then return home where you can look out over the spectacular scenery, the Rio Hondo flowing out of sight under a tree canopy and down to the Rio Grande just to the west of the house. The Rio Grande is also just located 5 minutes from the property and provides sandy beaches and free flowing water for swimming, rafting and kayaking. You can even sign up for horseback riding or hot air balloon rides with local providers.

Wonderful owner and property! Only a 30 minute drive to the slopes! We had a very enjoyable stay and highly recommend this property.
Highly suggest travelers book this location so they can appreciate the wonderful views for themselves. This is an excellent rental.
Simple house with amazing view of the northern New Mexico landscape. We had clear nights which gave us a beautiful, vivid night’s sky
Amazing, relaxing home to escape and enjoy the area of Taos. Don’t miss this place. Thanks Dana
Very nice property with an amazing view, as advertised. Great communication with Dan. Would definitely stay here again!
This home is simple and comfortable. Its peaceful location and stellar views make it extra special. The host was extremely helpful, and his restaurant recommendations were spot-on. Note that during summer weather, the home can get stuffy and warm, especially towards late afternoon and evening (highs were in the 80s when I stayed there). Even with doors and windows open, there isn't much cross-ventilation, so plan to be out enjoying the mountains until the sun goes down, when the cool night breezes blow in.
The house was simple, clean, comfortable, and affordable. We loved the gorgeous views from every room and amazing sunsets and sunrises of the quiet arroyo area. We would love to stay here again!
Simple , clean perfect architecture Close to local market with everything Panorama offered sunset and sunrise from the large deck We will return!
This place is amazing. Very simple and minimalist home with everything you would need. Incredible views and a very secluded and peaceful neighborhood. Easy access to Taos and all sorts of other areas. Dan was easy to communicate with and I'm looking forward to staying again!
Clean, minimal, comfortable with a well supplied, properly gatdget-ted kitchen. But, looking out at sunrise over Wheeler Peak you’re so distracted you burn breakfast. Great place, we hope to stay again
I just spent a week at this home, and I would just echo what other reviewers said about this place: very comfortable home, well provisioned and great location close to all that Taos has to offer. The views are really just spectacular--the way the house is set up around the vistas is perfect, and it makes it a great place to spend time in, or to come home to after a day exploring the area. Communication with the host was excellent. Would highly recommend this spot.
Very clean , relaxing environment
We love Taos. This home had everything we needed and was about ten minutes from downtown Taos. Views are breathtaking. Very quiet neighborhood.
Perfect place for my wife and me to enjoy our anniversary. Everything just as described and shown in pictures. Amazing view! Wonderful experience, highly recommend.
Absolutely loved our stay here! The house was warm and welcoming, while also being minimalist and letting the natural landscape be the star. The views from the walls of windows are incredible -- we made sure to be back in time for sunset every afternoon, and to catch the sunrise in the mornings. Plus the balcony was great for stargazing! Plus Dan was a great host, and replied to any questions immediately. Can't wait to stay here again!
Close to both Taos and the Ski Valley, this home is as beautiful as the photos show. In the winter, be aware that it can be chilly, bit the wood burning stove does the trick if you purchase the extra wood. Dan was helpful for the few questions
The communication upfront and check-in process was great. Views were unreal, sunset and sunrise were beautiful, and the sky at night was a sight to see. I loved the kitchen and living room, especially with those windows all around. Great location, close to great hiking trails, hot springs, secluded and yet Taos was only a 15min drive away.
Really enjoyed our stay at this property. Some may say the lack of a TV is a negative but with the views from all he windows over the Arroyo and the mountains, who needs a TV. You take a picture and two seconds later the light changes and the view is even better. Clean, comfortable and with everything you need to enjoy your stay in the Taos area. Only problem I see is, it is so nice inside you may have trouble enjoying all the area has to offer because you have to leave. Gene and Heather.
Really enjoyed our experience here! The house was very comfortable, tidy and well equipped with everything we needed. Dan was so accommodating and communicative. You can tell he really takes pride in his place. It is located a short 10 -15 drive north of town, but that allows you to get up a bit higher to enjoy some openness and amazing views of the mesa. Highly recommend this special and unique spot.
This place is amazing! My husband and I wanted to get away for our anniversary and found this treasure of a place to stay. The views, the quiet, the comfortable bed, the great kitchen, and comfortable living area all contributed to this being a memory we will always cherish. Dan was responsive and kind in all of our communication. Stay here if you want peace and quiet. Thank you!
Aurora Hondo views. Very good views of this mountains and countryside. House was clean and well-maintained. Kitchen was stocked sufficiently. Good host no problems there. Very good location for going around the enchanted Circle. Very enjoyable trip. I would have suggested just a few things. The steps down The hill to the door Are challenging for some. With good Wi-Fi could use a television. Should make mention that there is no air conditioner. And should make mention that it is on a gravel road for a little ways. I would also get a Keurig coffee maker. And get a very domesticated ladyTo rearrange your kitchen drawers. Please don’t think I’m trying to offend. Just a suggestion trying to help. Enjoyed our stay very much and would do it again. Thank you
All the comments about cleanliness and beautiful vistas are true, not exaggeration. So are the compliments about Dan’s hospitality. But what impressed us the most was the care Dan has put into his home. The house is amazingly designed, comfortably furnished, perfectly situated on a hillside, very convenient to Taos and generously stocked. It's easy to get to (although we made sure to arrive in daylight the first time) and it's difficult to leave. Dan loves his home, we loved his home, and you will too.
Really amazing views from all rooms in Dan’s place! We could easily see the Milky Way from the porch at night.
Dan's property provided the perfect opportunity to enjoy beautiful views of the Taos scenery through huge windows, an incredible patio, and outdoor space. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. Highly recommended!
We had such a nice time and completely enjoyed our stay which was mostly on the deck enjoying the peace, quiet and fantastic views. The house was very clean, open and did I mention the views? We'll definitely be back.
