Peaceful Apartment in Historic Hacienda with Private Hot Tub

Embrace the old charm of this residence built over a century ago. The renovated home features concrete countertops, salvaged materials from school buildings, high ceilings, a private backyard with a BBQ dining area, and a shared interior courtyard. The spacious apartment is part of a hacienda style residence that was built over a century ago. The smooth contour of the adobe walls blend well with the more modern kitchen addition that features slanted southern windows for passive radiant heating, in the style of the famous "earthships" that were conceived by Kevin Reynolds. The newly renovated interior was designed for comfort and efficiency and features concrete countertops, salvaged materials from school buildings, a kitchen counter made from a bowling lane, and much more. The kitchen is large and well appointed; it includes extras that you don't often find in a vacation rental: stainless steel appliances, a Nespresso machine with milk frother, a dual oven range, a blender, and a toaster oven. The living space has a thick, soft wool area rug and a large smart TV. The high-end sleeper sofa is amazingly comfortable. The queen bed in the bedroom is also very comfy and has premium linens, down pillows, and a felted wool comforter made in a nearby village. You have the private back yard all to yourself, and it's perfect for outdoor dining in warm weather. When it's cooler, the custom kiva fireplace will keep you warm. You can cook outside on the built in outdoor grill. You can probably squeeze four into the 3-person hot tub. The front door of the apartment opens onto a lovely courtyard with a large old apple tree, a grassy area, and a plum tree. The apartment has a dedicated parking space just a few steps from the back door in a private lot. You have the private back yard and hot tub all to yourselves. The middle courtyard is shared by all condo owners. I am often available to meet you upon arrival and check you in myself, but if not, I will have my apartment manager greet you. If you will be arriving at night, I can leave a key for you. The apartment is located in the old historic district of Taos. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and situated for easy walking access to the plaza and the downtown area. If you have a large group, you may consider also renting my other property in the same building, Best Casita: A Hidden Jewel next to the plaza.

All about Taos

Some believe Taos literally vibrates on a different frequency. Many residents and visitors here claim to hear the Taos Hum — a low buzzing sound that science can’t explain. The ethereal anomaly is a fitting mystery for an artsy town that shows love for all things mystical. This eclectic outpost is marked by classic adobe architecture, a thriving community of artists, and a penchant for relaxation — hot springs, spas, and wellness treatments abound — set against the backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the candy-colored New Mexico desert.

You could easily spend a whole vacation soaking in the bohemian atmosphere and exploring the city’s many museums and galleries, but it would be a mistake to ignore the call of the surrounding wilderness. Vertiginous peaks tempt skiers to the Taos Ski Valley, hikers strike out across nearby plains, and the staggeringly deep Rio Grande Gorge — carved by the eponymous river that snakes between its sides — humbles onlookers.

What are the top things to do in Taos?

Go Museum Hopping

There’s no shortage of cultural institutions here, and you can spend a day or several reveling in their unique collections. The Millicent Rogers Museum, which maintains 15 galleries, is focused on the artworks of New Mexico’s Indigenous cultures, and textiles, pottery, baskets, and jewelry can be found in this vast collection of more than 7,000 objects. The Harwood Museum of Art showcases historical and contemporary New Mexico artists. The Blumenschein Home and Museum still looks much the way it did when the co-founder of the legendary Taos Arts Colony lived there more than 60 years ago.

Taos Pueblo

The Taos Pueblo is a Native American community and collection of traditionally constructed adobe buildings that has been continuously inhabited for more than 1,000 years. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the grounds include underground ceremonial chambers, the ruins of a 17th-century church, and multistory adobe structures made of packed earth and timber. Guided tours are offered year round.

Rio Grande Gorge Bridge

For a stomach-fluttering thrill, head to this 1,280-foot-long bridge that sits 650 feet above the Rio Grande — one of the highest in the United States. You can drive across this bridge, but pedestrian sidewalks also allow you to slow down and drink in the view. You might even see some bighorn sheep lounging on the nearby cliffs.
