The Red Earth Palace Retreat - private natural hot spring access

The hot tub was great and the hot spring was a very unique and cool option! We loved the property and quiet location, and the views were beautiful!

Amazing home and hosts. We loved the location and access to hot springs. Will definetly visit again.

The home was Incredible! We loved the hot tub and the fire pit in the evenings. The views from the kitchen and living room were so beautiful. The host was very welcoming and responsive. We are already planning to come back next year and stay here again!

Great stay in Taos. Very private location with beautiful views of mountains and gorge. House was very well appointed and comfortable. Master bedroom was very spacious with private entry to sitting area and fire pit. Heated floors were a bonus. Hot tub and deck made for a very relaxing time while enjoying the sunset. Private access to Manby Hot Springs was a bonus along with the home being pet friendly. We hiked a great deal around the property and the pups really enjoyed their time. Would highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again!

The property is amazing and exceeded every expectation. It is beautiful, private and secluded. Easy access to Taos Ski Valley, great hiking on site, hot springs and amazing views.

Third time staying at this property and it’s a wonderful experience every time!

The place was fantastic and we loved our stay!

The pictures for the house do not do it justice. We stayed a week for our 20th anniversary and it was perfect. You feel very isolated at the house but are less than 20 minute drive to specialty grocery store and fine dining. The hike to the hot springs and the stars from the hot tub at night were our favorite thing about our trip. We will definitely be back. Thank you Katherin for your wonderful recommendations and quick responses. :)

This home was just magical. Full night sky with the Milky Way visible; magnificent sunsets from the hot tub, and the beautiful architecture of the home itself, was a once in a lifetime experience.And…. Absolutely take the directions provided by the owner and not the GPS! My partner may have thought he could do it his way, which turned out ok!

We loved our long weekend stay with our kiddos! Cloudy but overall great weather for October & amazing star gazing in hot tub one night! Really enjoyed the Manby hot springs hike. Just right for the kids! We found a baby sheep that grazed near the hot springs while we were there. Lovely home for an easy getaway from Denver! Thank you!!!!

We have extensive experience with VRBO rentals, and this property certainly exceeded our expectations. It was a truly remarkable experience, and departing was challenging. The highlights included the home's architectural design, the secluded setting, the available hiking trails, the hot tub, and the tranquil environment perfect for observing weather patterns, celestial bodies, local wildlife, and hot air balloons. Furthermore, the convenient proximity to Taos and the UNESCO Pueblo site facilitated effortless shopping. We are eager to arrange a return visit.

The house is the most unique home i have visited. It is an ecletic collection of old west barn doors to adobe walls and other cultures sprinkled in. The 15 acres allow for views of the mountains, wild life and fresh air. Theres even a trail at the end of tge driveway to Manby hot springs.The house is located on a gravel road. While there are multiple ways to get there, i advise you only use the entrance directions provided by the host....its near the municipal airport. (We never saw a plane). If you choose to enter via another route be prepared for serious off roading....We enjoyed our stay, it allowed for us to relax and unwind.

An incredible, beautiful house and property! I particularly loved reading about how the house was built. The property speaks for itself: gorgeous, remote, and breathtaking. We spent most of our time on the porch in the wonderful hot tub or lounging on the comfortable chairs taking in the views. The stargazing was incredible!! Hope to visit again soon!

We had a great time at this unique and beautiful home! The home had everything we could need. We loved watching the sunsets and sunrises from the deck, gazing at the stars from the hot tub and taking a quick trip down to the hot springs - I couldn’t recommend staying here enough! The host was extremely communicative and made sure we felt right at home!

This place is perfect for a secluded place to get away for a while. Don't do what we did and put the address in if you're using GPS just put in the Taos airport and follow the host's directions from there. We had an amazing time hiking down the gorge, watching shooting stars from the hot tub at night, and cooking meals together in the kitchen. We have some hilarious pictures of our short friend standing on a stool to cook on the high counters.

Second time staying here and it is wonderful. Highly recommend!

Comfortable, well equipped, quiet and beautiful stay!

Communication with the owners was wonderful. They responded promptly and with the details we asked about. The house is absolutely beautiful and the property has stunning views from the deck/hot tub area (glorious to star-gaze from as well).We hiked directly from the property to Manby Hot Springs and the Rio Grande River.The counters/sinks are very tall (I am not very tall, worked okay for my spouse and son who are 6 ft.) If you are taking younger/shorter kids grab a step-stool if you have one.We would 100% stay here again and again.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! It is such a unique property with amazing views. For us, it is a perfect balance of privacy and serenity, but close to Taos or on the way to Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch. This was our second stay - with hopefully more to come in the future! Thanks again!

We loved our stay at this unique home on the Rio Grande. It was wonderfully quiet with the best star gazing of any place we’ve been. We hiked the trails on the property, watched stars from the hot tub, and watched the hot air balloons on their tours of the river each morning from the patio. Although it is rural, it’s close enough to Taos to go in for lunch and shopping, an easy drive to the ski valley and the rafting trips. We would definitely stay again.

This property is situated on a gorgeous piece of land that is peaceful and well-maintained. The place was perfect for our family of four. Our two boys shared the second bedroom, which had two beds. There was everything we needed to cook several meals, use the hot tub, and clean a load of laundry. The ride into town is not too far, with a great view as you go. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

We loved our stay at The Red Earth Palace. It is a really cool house sited in a beautiful and somewhat remote area near Taos. It is along the Rio Grande where you can hike down to the hot springs. We had a very relaxing and peaceful weekend. The house itself is lovely and very clean. The kitchen is very well setup with all the tools you could possibly ask for. The host, Katherin, is wonderful and very easy to communicate with. Thanks for a lovely stay in your beautiful home.

This is our second time

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at theRed Earth Palace Retreat! The house had everything we needed for our stay including amazing views and the perfect hot tub/deck set up to relax after long days of hiking and sightseeing. Our host was incredibly responsive and made sure all of questions were addressed. Highly recommend a stay here if you’re visiting the Taos region!

The house, property and owner were all great! House is very isolated but with great views and hike into the gorge to the hot springs. Owner was easy to communicate with. Hot tub and fire pit at night were great!

The property and surrounding area were fantastic. We were able to enjoy some nice hikes, including to the hot springs, and very much enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen is fully equipped and we enjoyed the natural light. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely return for another stay!

Had a great time at the house. Both me n my life had a wonderful anniversary

This house was beautiful with a wonderful location. It is right next to the Rio Grande Gorge with a short hike to get down to the river and hot springs. It was just what my husband and I were looking for for our 10 year anniversary trip. The house itself is beautiful with everything you need. There are a few quirks about the house such as the counter tops all being super tall - not ideal for short people, and the bathtub being huge and uncomfortable - but overall a great place. Check in and out was easy and straight forward and communication with the host was great.

Beautiful home and magical setting for our family vacation! The hosts were very communicative, and we loved our stay on their property. Everything was very clean, and the house was well-supplied. Many thanks!

We loved staying here- it was the perfect location for those who want to enjoy taos but feel remote. The hiking trails on property were cherry on top. We saw bighorn sheep and perfect views. Cozy and accomodating.

We loved our stay! We traveled with kids, everything was as described and instructions were very thought out. We stay in 2-3 Vrbos a year and this one was top of the list for amenities.

The Red Earth Palace is such an incredible home! The house is in itself a vacation! What a magical place, too. The nights were spectacular, with some of the best stars I've ever seen. We had an amazing time, and if ever in Taos again would love to stay here!

This house was just what we needed for a long weekend away from rainy Seattle. The house was so comfortable and perfectly situated on the property. Took advantage of the hiking trails down to the hot springs where we have ultimate privacy on a crisp fall morning. House had everything we needed for our stay. Beds were very comfortable and the decor was tasteful and functional and stylish. Hot tub under the stars was perfect, fire pit watching the moonrise, magical! Kitchen was adequately stocked and had everything needed. Our favorite part about the house was its secluded location, perfectly situated to feel like we were the only people around. Just what these city dwellers needed! Distance to town was about 15-20 min.

If you like going to the end of the road, this place is for you. Its location is incredibly serene and beautiful, perched just a few hundred yards from the edge of the Rio Grande gorge. The view alone could keep you captivated for many hours, but walk out the door and down into the gorge and you are soaking in hot springs and looking for bighorn sheep. The house itself was very user friendly and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciated that the kitchen was well appointed with new appliances. We enjoyed the wood stove during a November snow storm. The hosts were responsive, although we had all of the information we needed upfront and the property is very straightforward to access and navigate. Overall, this is wonderful place to unplug and reflect and relax. Highly recommend.

Beautiful property, well designed and executed home, wonderful hiking trails from your backdoor. It was a wonderful experience in all aspects, great communciation and check-in process and a fantastic location! Away from it all, but we easy access to Taos and all the amazing surrounding areas. Highly recommend!

Wow! Talk about a view. It was gorgeous out there. My kids and dogs had a blast. The nights were dark and peaceful. The house was cozy. Would recommend 100%.

You could not find a better house in the Taos area. Katherin was an awesome host despite all the communication challenges that VRBO’s software threw at her. Bubbly, snacks and a handwritten note on arrival. Anything you could ever want or need was on hand at Red Earth. Privacy and peace supreme and that hike to Manby Hot Springs was the pies de resistance. Well done!!

We loved our stay! We sat in the hot tub and watched the meteor showers, hiked to the hot springs, and enjoyed every minute of the peace and quiet. 10/10!

We had such fun staying here!! The house is amazing, and loved learning more about it. I love how tall the counters are, makes things so much easier for us giants! The furnishings are eclectic and comfy. I loved that there was only 1 TV, the kitchen was so fun to cook in - and the exterior was fantastic. We were able to take both roads to access the house - one is for the adventurous soul the other isn't lol. It was also awesome to have a semi-private access to the trails and Rio Grande away from the John Dunn Bridge access. Great views and the hot tub was relaxing. We also had a great and easy time accessing this reservation through VRBO. We will highly recommend this place to others and will probably come back!!

The location, the sunsets, the sunrises and the home was fantastic! Far enough away from town for seclusion but still close enough. We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful home and property! Very peaceful and relaxing! Home had all of the amenities that we needed. Large space that was perfect for 2 adults, but definitely plenty of room for 4 adults. Host was great about communication and no issues at all with check-in or string the stay. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a somewhat remote location, that offers a ton of peace and quiet. Great hiking nearby and Toas is only a 20-25 minute drive from the property.
