Overview
This restored 1925 villa features classic adobe design, genuine plaster walls and vigas ceilings, and three porches, all with spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. The interior is bright and happy, illuminated by lots of natural light flooding in through large windows with beautiful views of the natural New Mexican landscape that surrounds the home. You'll love watching your favorite movies and shows on the flatscreen TV while warming up by a fire in the fireplace on those frosty winter nights. And summer guests can enjoy al fresco meals outside on the patio table. Speaking of meals, the well-equipped, full kitchen is open and, well, gorgeous! Lovely cookware hangs from a pot and pan rack suspended over ample counter space, sure to inspire even the most demanding chefs. This home also features individual room heaters and plenty of sleeping accommodations for up to four guests, plus 1,360 square feet of living space, so everyone will have plenty of elbow room and privacy during their stay. Late afternoon winds from approaching summer storms blow at the home’s chimes creating soothing sounds and the temperature may drop making for a lovely, cool evening on one of the three porches. Not to mention, magpies, ravens, and hummingbirds abound in the area to accompany you during your stay.
This area still retains its past agricultural and more rural charm. Yet, it is only two mile walk from Taos Plaza and John Dunn Shops where you will find unique boutiques, creative art, restaurants for dining, and a Farmers Market on Saturdays in the summer for purchasing meat, fish, and veggies for grilling at The Birdhouse. Naturally, there are lots of outdoor activities to take advantage of right next door such as snowshoeing, mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, and whitewater rafting. Shoppers will love visiting Taos Plaza, just two miles north, to find unique boutiques, eateries, and works by local artisans to enjoy. Taos Ski Valley is 40-minutes northeast with amazing ski slopes to shred with friends. You'll also be just over 10 miles from Taos Regional Airport.

Rating
The location was quiet and accessible to everything local. The patio was great. The colorful decor paired with the adobe construction was charming. The house temperature was pleasantly cool. We would definitely stay here again.
Very comfortable for 2 adult daughters and mom. Enjoyed all the art! Kitchen well-stocked. Great location - just a short drive to town.
We enjoyed our couple night stay at the Birdhouse. We were mostly out and about, but when “home” enjoyed all of the art and comfy furniture. We only had coffee, but it was obvious that the kitchen is well stocked with whatever you might possibly need to make a gourmet meal. We loved the peaceful surroundings and great views from every window. No AC, but we got lucky and the weather was not too hot and it cooled off enough in the evening. We probably would have turned the air on for sleeping, but managed OK without. Beautiful property and would book again if planning a trip to Taos.
This place is amazing. Anyone and everyone should stay here if your stopping in Taos. Feels like a south-west culture capsule! So inviting and homey. Super spacious and clean. 100% satisfaction
very cozy and comfortable
Whimsical fun decor and fireplace. View of mountains. Quiet location.
