This 2400 square foot home is beautifully constructed, a pumice home built in adobe style by a local real estate agent for his personal use. The home owner now purchased Momentitos from this real estate agent. The inside has many extra nice and high quality features. Views towards the mountains from the kitchen, master bedroom and the east facing patio are stunning. The open living room, kitchen and dining area makes for a great gathering place. Momentitos is pet friendly. The Latilla and Adobe wall fences completely surround the home protecting the patio from the wind and giving the home a very secluded feeling. The master bedroom is large with a king bed and a fireplace. The bathroom has tub and shower with double soap stone sinks. The walk in closet has built in drawers.
The other two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the living area. There is a queen bed in one and the third bedroom has two twins that can be made into a very comfortable king. A small computer desk is placed in this room if you need to do some work. A day bed sits next to a wall in the living area for an extra bed if needed.
The kitchen is well equipped and easy to use. The home owner visits quite often and enjoys cooking. The home has very thing you need for a comfortable and great vacation. Just bring your clothes and groceries.
Momentitos is 13 miles from the Taos Ski Valley and about six miles from the center of Taos, just two miles from the artisan village of Arroyo Seco with a natural food market, cafes, restaurants, and authentic New Mexico retail and art galleries.

We enjoyed our stay so much. The house is spacious, clean and has everything needed. We loved the hot tub. The property is set up for dogs this was great for us. We’ll be returning to stay and enjoy the area!
We loved the house, and especially the yard and hot tub. The yard was very secure for our dog, which made things easy and relaxing.The blinds and windows work well for managing the summer heat on the property. Finding the house and parking were easy.
We had a truly unforgettable stay at this charming Taos retreat! The home was beautifully decorated with Southwestern touches, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed—from a warm hot tub to a fully equipped kitchen. The peaceful outdoor space offered stunning mountain views and incredible stargazing at night. Perfectly located just minutes from the Plaza, galleries, and local restaurants, yet quiet and private enough to feel like a true escape. Our host was warm, responsive, and full of great local tips. We hope to come back someday!
Perfect location, a few minutes outside of Taos and less than 30 minutes to Taos Ski Valley. Property was great and had everything we were looking for. Excellent scenic views from the backyard as well.
The property is ideally located between Taos and Taos Ski Valley and away from the traffic and busyness of both. All the comforts of home are available and the host is easy to work with. Great rental property for families!
Our stay here was amazing. We had a group along with some dogs and the yard was perfect for them. The hot tub was amazing and the house had everything that we needed to be comfortable.

Great retreat
Great location for a short drive to the ski valley. House was well equipped and very nice place to relax. Would recommend to anyone!
Stayed here for a ski trip in early Feb. The snow was great and this house was a great spot for easy access to the mountain as well as Arroyo Seco and Taos. House was clean and spacious with a great outdoor area that would be nice in the summer.

Beautiful house, great views. Perfect for our weeklong stay.
We very much enjoyed staying at Momentitos. The house did not disappoint and the back porch area was delightful. Spent the evening's watching the sunset and the days out exploring. Leaving very relaxed.
Had such a good time and the view was beautiful! The house was beautiful,clean, and in such a good and convenient location. Check in was easy.

Beautiful house!
We had a great time over Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends. The house is well appointed with beautiful Mountain views. Comfortable beds. Great place to relax and catch up.
Stayed here with our family to get a break from the summer heat and enjoy some hiking in the mountains. The house is comfortable and filled with colorful art. We really enjoyed the views of the mountains from inside the house and from the beautifully landscaped back yard. One of the best VRBOs we've rented. Would definitely stay again.
