-- THE PROPERTY --
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed | Living Room: Sleeper Sofa
'Blue Adobe's' custom woodwork and local art gives it a unique flair and down-home charm that you'll never forget.
After a day on the hiking trails, rest your sore legs on the living room's plush sectional. As you stream your Netflix favorites on the flat-screen Smart TV, you'll be surrounded by beautiful double-glazed windows and USG Diamond finish plaster walls.
When delicious aromas begin to fill the room, head into the fully equipped kitchen and see what's cooking. No matter what your group's chef chooses to whip up with the brand new appliances, you're sure to be impressed as you take your first bites at the dining table for 6.
Located just steps from the main living area, the spacious steam room is not only convenient, but also gives the home a 5-star resort feel. The entire property's hot water and heat comes from a solar heating system.
Whether you visit Taos during the winter or summer, you'll drift effortlessly to sleep in your luxurious queen bed. In the winter, you'll find refuge from the cold under your bed's 800-weight down comforter and in the summer you'll enjoy a cool breeze through a silk Mulberry blanket.
-- THE LOCATION --
This area, locally known as the Old Blinking Light "OBL," is located at the "hub" of Route 64, 150, & 522. To this day, it still remains a local reference point decades after the traffic light went in.
No matter what outdoor sport you prefer, you'll be hard-pressed to find a landscape as perfect as Taos. Voted one of the 'Top 10 Outdoor Sports Locations' by Outdoor Magazine and 'Best Ski Town’ by USA Today, this New Mexican paradise has something for everyone.
Shred the slopes like Red Gerard at Taos Ski Valley, located just 25 minutes from the property. With 13 lifts and 110 trails, Taos provides award-winning terrain for both rookie riders and Olympic hopefuls. The season free ski shuttle is just 1 mile away at KTAO parking lot.
Take a quick 5-mile ride to Taos Plaza and experience authentic Southwestern culture. Founded in 1796 this area offers delicious restaurants, great galleries, and top-notch nightlife. Stop by the Taos Mesa Brewery or the KTAO Solar Center for some live entertainment. You can also find top-notch live entertainment and dancing just .7 miles down the road at KTAOS Solar Center.
Taos Plaza isn't the only place in the area to enjoy live music. Be sure to check out the city's event calendar and attend a few festivals. With everything from Music in the Park to a hot air balloon festival and Las Fiestas de Taos, there is something fun happening every weekend!
When you don't feel like cooking? Head to the Taos Mesa Brewery Mother Ship. Located 3.3 miles from the property, the brewery offers even more music stages and a taproom that serves tacos and beer.
For summertime entertainment, find river access under the John Dunn Bridge, explore the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument, hike the Turquoise Trail, or bask in the cliff dwellings of Bandelier National Monument. The towns of Los Alamos and Santa Fe are both about 90 minutes down the road if you’re looking for a fun day trip.

It was a perfect place for our family to gather together. We were all so happy with the home and setting. Thanks for sending info on nearby hikes! Thanks for everything!
Had a lovely time retreating here after spending the day enjoying Taos, which was about a 10 min drive. Location felt safe and neighborhood was quiet. Great stay!
Great stay for sightseeing in the local towns and snowboarding.

Lovely home, comfortable and well supplied
Comfortable beds, large comfortable sitting room that fit 6 people comfortably, and a lovely host gift-- a basket with wine, cheese, crackers-- that we pounced on immediately. AND we enjoyed the prairie dog community around the house, so fun to watch!
Clean, comfortable, spacious, well-appointed, convenient to Taos and nearby recreation options. The welcome gift was a welcome surprise and very much appreciated! Lots of room for playing with the doggo outside, and room to set up a telescope to enjoy the crystal clear dark skies and ponder the mysteries of the Universe.
We throughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Adobe. So comfortable and quiet. Just minutes to restaurants and to the main square in Taos. It had everything you would ever need for a gathering. Beautiful views and an area to walk around. I miss it already. I would definitely stay again.
Great stay. Fully equipped kitchen, steam room works great, warm and quiet house. Lots of space, extra towels and blankets, would work well for longer stays. Location is close to other houses but it was very quiet and private. Did not have to contact host since everything went so smoothly.

Stars galore!
We really appreciated the location as our trip to Taos/El Prado was to attend a wedding 5+/- mile away. The patio was great for morning coffee in the sunshine and late night giggles under the stars. The inside of the house was fine and comfortable. Very generous for just 4 of us. It was so nice to find the cheese, crackers, and bottle of wine as a welcome gift! The two "upper" bedrooms had comfortable mattresses and linens. The owner responded quickly when I contacted him about the possibility of an early check-in. Overall a great choice for what we needed.
4 friends needed a home away from home during the annual tennis tournament in Taos! Blue Adobe allowed for a great touch point between our matches and a wonderful place to rest while in town. Victoria and Stephen were great with communication and wonderfully flexible with check in and check out since we were at the whim of the tournament schedule. This was a huge help and relief of some major stress. This was a wonderful find!

Beautiful and comfortable home
This is a beautiful, spacious home that has everything you need. I was really blown away by the attention to detail to make our stay comfortable. We had four people (including one couple) and the 3 bedrooms were just right. The master suite is gorgeous. The living room and kitchen have ample space and are beautifully decorated. I would highly recommend!
We had an enjoyable stay. The property was as listed and there was plenty of space for the 6 of us. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of supplies (cleaning, cooking utensils, linens, towels, toiletries) provided as well as the books, games and DVD’s. The house was very clean and is located on a very quiet property.
We were in Taos for the premier of "La Tormenta de Taos" and Blue Adobe was such a perfect "home base" for our preparations that we intend to return often! My only hesitation is when people find out how good it is, it will be harder for us to book it!
Cozy, roomy, nicely decorated home. 8 in our group and plenty of room for all. Plenty of towels & linens. Convenient location for Taos & Red River activities.
Blue adobe was a great house to spend a relaxing holiday weekend in! We were able to ski, go shopping in Taos, and explore the area with ease. The steam shower was amazing and the communication was superb.

Great Stay
Lovely house, very clean, plenty of room for our group of six. The host left a bottle of wine and focaccia bread -- a nice touch. Will definitely book again.
Great long stay for people and pups in well-stocked and comfy home
We had a wonderful two-week+ stay at the Blue Adobe. It was a great base for exploring the area, and it was well set up for working remotely. Mary was very kind and helpful. We loved sitting out front in the evenings and watching the sunset. The washer and dryer were great to have, since it was a longer visit. The gift basket of snacks and wine was also very considerate and so much appreciated.
