beautiful property

We had a small family reunion at this property for 5 days and nights. It was a beautiful property, adorned with local art and artifacts. We especially loved the Jim Wagner touches. We had a very minor issue with the plumbing and the owner had it fixed it extremely promptly. We couldn't be happier with this property and would recommend it. Close to the square and with a fabulous view. 10 stars!

Great stay

The house is located close enough to the plaza that you can walk to the action, but is on a big lot and set back - it’s nice and quiet. You can watch the sunrise from the back patio - beautiful! We had a wonderful stay. The six of us had plenty of room. The living and dining areas encourage conversation. We’d love to stay again.

Wonderful winter get away in Taos

Beautiful historic property with great views of the surrounding mountains. Property is on top notch condition, well organized. Everything you need is there. Being a winter stay house was snug and warm in the snow. New water heater and furnace. But best of all this is a five minute walk to the heart of Taos, which we enjoyed doing every evening in the snow. It was magical. We skiied at both Taos Ski Valley and Angel Fire. This property is an easy 30 minute drive to each and perfect base location if you want to go to both. The Rio Grande gorge is only 15 minutes away for amazing hiking and spotting some Rocky Mountain Bighorns. The property owners were very responsive, very helpful and it was a pleasure and relaxing to be here. We will be back.

Perfect Spot for a Holiday

The house, its location, and its furnishings are all beautiful! Our favorite parts included the handmade pottery (plates, bowls, mugs), the lovely southwestern style decor, and the gorgeous views in all directions. Everything we needed (kitchen, paper products, bathroom supplies) was kindly furnished, and the whole process of getting access as well as preparing for departure was easy and fully explained. Although we were there in winter, the yard around the house was just as wonderful as the inside. Tons of birds, mountain views, and lovely scenery. Some short term rentals feel more like generic hotel suites. Here, we knew we had been privileged to stay in James and Monica's home. We were there over the Christmas holiday with our family, and the chance to stay here made it very special. Exceptional location in every way!

Absolute 5 Star Accommodation

Fantastic home for our family gathering. Exceptional kitchen with high quality cookware and beautiful pottery dishes and bowls. The house has a great layout with lots of comfortable sitting areas and a large kitchen table. The decor and furnishings are first rate. The house is within easy walking distance of all the main parts of the Taos shopping and dining areas. Absolutely a 5 star property and we give it our highest recommendation!

About the host

Hosted by James and Monica Smits

James & Monica Smits are the owners of Aspen Traders in Leadville, CO. Both of us grew up in Colorado and have fond memories of coming to Taos as children. We are inspired by the foods, fashion, arts & culture of Northern New Mexico. James has been a potter for over 40 years and continues to work gradually, focusing primarily on stoneware functional ware. Much of the work in the Taos hacienda kitchen is made by James. Monica puts her creative energy into designing our stores and living spaces. Color and light are her inspiration.

Why they chose this property

This house sits on a large lot near undeveloped Taos Pueblo lands so it is generally very quiet (unless there is a concert in Kit Carson Park, which is fun in a different way). You are close enough to walk to the Adobe Bar at the Taos Inn for their famous Margaritas and Free Live Music every night of the year (take a small flashlight, the lane can be dark). This property is only a block away from Mable Dodge Luhan house (Dennis Hopper's Mud Palace) where you might enjoy getting brunch (reservations required). My favorite aspect of the house is watching birds, bunnies and prairie dogs while the clouds float over the mountains all around.
