Cozy 'Blue Adobe' w/ Steam Room 2 Mi. from Taos!

Fall in love with the Sangre de Cristo mountains and beautiful Southwestern scenery at 'Blue Adobe,' a 3-bedroom, 2-bath vacation rental home in El Prado. Located at the “Old Blinking Light,” just minutes from Taos Ski Valley, near fantastic hiking and jaw-dropping views, this newly renovated 2,100-square-foot home is the perfect home base for your outdoor adventures. Explore Taos by-day and finish the evening by relaxing in the steam room as the sun sets behind the serene mountain vistas.

-- THE PROPERTY --

*NOTE: Your safety matters. An exterior security camera is located at the front door, facing out towards the entrance. The camera does not look into any interior spaces*

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.

Taos Tennis Tournament Vacay
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!

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!

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.

Comfortable & Inviting
We loved the Blue Adobe. It was very comfortable, well stocked and a great location to Taos. This was our first experience with VRBO and it was good. The only thing I would recommend is using the VRBO messaging system for check in directions instead of the 3rd party email to avoid confusion.

Would stay here again
The house was perfect for four of us. It has three comfortable bedrooms, one ensuite while two share a bathroom. The kitchen is outfitted with everything one could possibly need for an extended stay. There is a large SMART TV with ROKU and my husband was able to stay up with March Madness. There is plenty of parking. The house is in a relatively secluded area, so there was no noise beyond the blowing of the wind. Though not in Taos, it was quick and easy to get there. Two of our party were skiing at Taos Basin, and from the house it is a straight shot to the ski area. We did not take advantage of the steam room as ours was a short stay, but it looked inviting. The house was sparkling clean, with plenty of linens. I should mention that when we arrived, there was a bottle of wine and bread and cheese waiting for us, which was much appreciated by all. We would definitely stay at this house again, particularly if we are sharing with others.

Wonderful Taos Ski Trip
My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the Blue Adobe house. The house is very clean and has nice amenities. It was also a great size and we had plenty of space especially with having all our ski gear and 2 smaller dogs. Being a regular skier at Taos, the location of the house was perfect as it sits near the intersection where you turn off from town to go up to the ski valley. Getting to the Taos plaza is a very short drive with food options on the way or breakfast options if you need to grab something before going skiing. The hosts were very accommodating. I highly recommend this property. Beautiful property!
