Peaceful Adobe home between Taos/TSV- Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Summer Garden

Welcome to Pinon Paradise, our serene mountain retreat! Located between Taos (10 miles) and the Ski Valley (9 miles), it is perfect for summer and winter activities. Shops and restaurants in Arroyo Seco are only 3 miles away.

This home is truly special and unique. The extensively landscaped grounds are incredible. Guests are encouraged to pick and eat seasonal herbs and vegetables as well as cuttings from the wildflower garden. Depending on the time of year, you may be able to enjoy herbs, fresh vegetables, apples and grapes! In the winter, the snowy backdrop is the perfect end to a powdery ski day.

The home has high vigas ceilings and radiant heat floors. The back of the house has breathtaking views of Taos Mountain and spectacular sunrises. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need to prepare meals. There are two king bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa (that is actually comfortable! It is a platform pull out with a gel mattress). There is one full bathroom.

Outside, there is a private hot tub with overhead string lights. The hot tub has views of the mountain that are the perfect end to a long day. The fire pit is surrounded by four large Adirondack chairs and encourages you to sit and relax (blankets are provided for the cool desert evenings).

If you are traveling with small children, there is a pack and play available.

4 wheel drive or chains required during snow.

Please note there is a Casita on the same property, situated with maximum privacy for each home. The homes are about 20 yards apart. Each home has it's own driveway and hot tub, but the grounds (fire pit, garden) are shared by both properties. If you have a larger group, please see the listing for reserving both properties as a "compound."

While this is a new listing, this property has been rented for years with numerous five star reviews. We have decided to rent without a management company because we want to know you, our guests, better!

Wonderful Casita!
My friends and I had a wonderful few days in the beautiful house at the end of March. The interior was very comfortable and had many personal touches not common in rentals these days. We also enjoyed the fire pit with it's gorgeous views of the mesa and mountains, and even made friends with a local dog. The hot tub was also amazing for relaxing after a day skiing or just simply relaxing. We would happily stay again!

Wonderful paradise
The property was perfect- everything was clean and tidy. The home was well equipped with bonus items (oils, spices, extra paper towels, laundry soap) that were unexpected but awesome! The hot tub was great and clean and comfortable. We enjoyed it most evenings. We loved the view of Taos mountain in the morning with coffee and in the evening. The gardens were another added bonus and the yard and grounds were immaculate. Can’t wait to come back! We miss it already..

Beautiful Taos adobe cottage
We loved our three nights in this cozy adobe cottage! Short drive to Taos ski resort(20min) and the house was just lovely! Gorgeous snowfall made it a winter wonderland while we were there and our kids enjoyed the sleds available and we all enjoyed the hot tub to end each day and the gorgeous views!

Nice Outdoor Area
The outdoor garden was beautiful, The sitting area at the end of the walk had a nice view of the mountains. Firewood was provided and we had a nice outdoor fire in the round covered fireplace. Some convenience/maintenance items could be improved. The Fire detectors were missing, there weren't a large number of steps at the entrance but they were very tall and hard to walk up, the bedrooms were dimly lit and had no chairs to sit on to put on shoes, the hot water heater had a repaired pipe that was slightly leaking and this heater was very loud cutting on and off, the bed was very tall and was very hard to get into with no step stool, the picnic type dining table with the long bench seats was uncomfortable to use.

Wonderful get-away!
Beautiful and well appointed house. All amenities - hot tub was great to relax muscles after hikes, bouldering and fishing streams. Beautiful view of mountains, fruit on trees, vegetables in garden, flowers in garden. Quiet, remote, easy access to Arroyo Seco and Taos town center. Our best stay in Taos yet!

great property, very responsive host
Amy is a great host! So responsive and helpful! And the house is perfect for a group. My parents (age 76 and 80) plus my teenage daughter stayed for 3 nights. The house is stocked with everything we needed, and the grounds were lovely. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of space to spread out. Loved our stay!

A very nice house with a beautiful mountain view
We love our warm and cozy 5 nights stay in this skiing season. It can be one of the hottest properties in VRBO if it's organized and cleaned better. We love the remoteness of the house. It's better to arrive before dark for an easier drive on the unpaved road with sharp turns. 4 wheel drive is preferred. The way to Tao's Skiing Valley can be called a scenic drive. Ms Amy is quick in responding, check in is smooth.

Cute taos trip
Very cute Lil home. Clean and comfortable house. Hot tub was great. Comfortably fit four adults. Road in was a little off the beaten path but as long as you followed directions you were fine. Wish I could have been there in the summer to utilize the gardens! Less than thirty from the ski resort

Just what we wanted!
We recently stayed at this property, it did not disappoint. Everything in the listing was accurate, house was spotless and looks very well cared for. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and fresh firewood for the fire pit was a nice touch. The location was perfect, we were taking our kids skiing for the first time and it was only 15-20 minutes to Ski Valley. If you are going in winter I would highly recommend 4 wheel drive, we had 2 large snowfalls and would have been in trouble without it. The home is very serene, great mountain views and just feels so relaxed when you are there. We will be returning!

Adobe home with gorgeous mountain views
We loved this beautiful adobe home. It was artfully decorated, cozy, quiet and comfortable. The kitchen/dining/living area is large and open; the bedrooms are roomy with comfy beds. There are huge picture windows and an outdoor seating/firepit area that were great for watching the gorgeous sunsets overs Taos Mountain and stargazing in the clear night sky. We appreciated the outdoor blankets that allowed us to sit ouside in the cool temperatures. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub. There are many scenic drives and hiking opportunities in the area. We had wonderful meals at Farmhouse Cafe and the Taos Mesa Brewing mothership location which is close to the Rio Grande Gorge bridge. The host provided excellent directions to the home and was always quick to respond. We’d love to return in the summer in order to experience the garden.

Beautiful setting with mountain views
The house and grounds were lovely and comfortable. The artwork and decor were very tasteful and appropriate for northern New Mexico. We enjoyed the views of the mountains, the hot tub in the cool evenings and access to the vegetable garden (picked carrots and squash for dinner one night). Location is close to the Ski Valley, Arroyo Seco and Taos. The owner was always quick to respond to questions and the check in process was super easy. FYI, there is another home on the property close to this one. This is very clearly stated in the description. We had neighbors for part of our stay which decreased the feelings of solitude but did not detract from the overall satisfaction of our visit.

Wonderful house
This little home is a true gem, it was warm and cozy and had everything we needed. We absolutely loved the property and recommend it to anyone looking to stay close to Taos, but more in the hills near the mountain. We loved the views of the mountains through the large windows and the bird bath out of the kitchen window. It was filled birds every morning and the occasional rabbit. While the garden was done for the season, it was easy to imagine the beauty it must hold in the spring and summer. We did have concerns with the cleanliness, especially with the bathroom. Something we took care of on our own and will share directly with the property management.
