Stella Luna - in the Lap of Taos Mountain!

Nestled at the foot of Taos Mountain off the Valdez Rim Road, Stella Luna, our 1500 square foot, two bedroom, two bath home sits on a quiet lane. It's just 15 mins from the slopes of Taos Ski Valley, 15 mins from the Town of Taos & Taos Plaza, and 5 mins from the charming village of Arroyo Seco. Extraordinary views in all directions, high ceilings throughout, large windows, and a floor plan that offers both open space and privacy come together to create a home that graciously welcomes you back after a day of skiing, sightseeing, or shopping. In fact, if you're like us, you might never want to leave Stella Luna at all!

Our lovely home offers a spacious, master suite with a King bed, attached office/nursery, TV/DVD, a Jacuzzi bath, and walk-in closet & dressing area. The second bedroom, conveniently separated from the master by the common living space, comes with a queen bed & double futon, TV/DVD, and an amazing view of Taos Mtn. While the house can comfortably sleep four adults, it can easily accommodate two more on the sleeper sofa in the living room.

A cozy fire in the kiva fireplace will warm your bones while you dine or relax in the comfortable living area. Being travelers, cooks, and foodies ourselves, Stella Luna provides you with a well-equipped kitchen and a home tastefully decorated with furnishings, art and objects from near and far. A selection of movies, books, and games will help you unwind from your life in the real world. To soothe those aching limbs and enjoy our spectacular New Mexico skies, there's a hot tub on the back deck; from the SW facing portal you get views of the Truchas, El Pedernal (a leitmotif of Georgia O'Keeffe), sunsets, and the neighbor’s grazing cows.

We love children and they're welcome at Stella Luna. We'll work with you to provide you the amenities you need.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house, as a family of 4 (2 adults, 6 yo, 8 yo). Only 17 mins to Taos Ski Valley, and about the same to Taos. Was also surprised that Arroyo Seco had a few shops and restaurants if needed. The road has a gorgeous view, the house was warm, comfortable, and quiet, and we enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub in the snow. Host was easy to contact and available, house is well stocked with kitchen needs! Will definitely book again if it’s available next time we ski!

This very private home is located perfectly— close to slopes and to town as well. It’s super quiet; we slept so well! Large backyard was perfect for my kids to build a snowman. The hot tub was perfect après ski. We cook 2 meals per day, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The hosts even left us welcome snacks and fresh flowers. This is truly a premier premier host!

The house was very clean. The host greeted us when we arrived and explained everything and answered all our questions. The house had everything we needed to cook and extra supplies if needed. Firewood was provided. We loved the privacy. House is 20 minutes away from Taos and about 40 minutes from Red River. We visited both places during the stay.

What an amazing stay. Stella Luna came with a fully loaded kitchen, even a basket of fruits. Communication with the host has been terrific. They even left the light on, as we arrived after sunset and it can be dark by the road. Everything in the house was labeled and the house rules were easy to find and follow. Enjoying the hot tub after a day of skiing topped it all. Can only recommend with the highest level possible.

We spent a fabulous week at the house, doing a combo of WFH and adventuring around Taos. House was super comfortable, views were spectacular, so nice just to sit out in the hot tub and watch the stars come out / hear the crickets start up. Very grateful places like this exist.
