Historic Home of Taos Artist -Peak Season Dates Available! Best Location

STVR permit# STR 2018-00012

There are many houses in Taos for visitors to choose from, but this one stands out for its authenticity and charm. Built by men from the Taos Pueblo in the 1940's for the artist Charles H. Reynolds and his wife Ruth, it is unique and very lovely.
The home is furnished with many of the original antiques, and the walls are hung with paintings by Reynolds and many of his contemporaries. You will feel as if you have stepped back in time, surrounded by thick adobe walls and hand carved beams in the ceilings. The fireplace crackles with pinion wood fires in the winter, scenting the air with its fragrance.
Modern amenities include a high efficiency heater, high speed internet, comfortable beds, and a well equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and microwave oven. There is a washer and dryer and supplies available for your convenience.
One bedroom has a queen bed, the small sunroom has a twin bed, and there is a sweet cubby with another twin bed. The bathroom is finished with Mexican tile work and has a tub and a shower. There is a large shady porch for dining in the summer, and a fenced courtyard for privacy.
All this, and only a short walk to great restaurants and galleries. Leave the car parked and stroll around the quiet neighborhood, or to the Taos Plaza for the Farmer's Market and live music.
The Taos Ale House and the very popular Michael's Kitchen are only a block away. This is a new listing so there are only a few reviews, but to see the larger side and it's reviews please go to VRBO #296467. For a large group of up to nine people the entire house can be rented.
Please take note, this house has a unique architecture which includes steps and low doorways in a couple of areas. There is signage to warn of this, but tall people must use caution.

Great communication with property manager. House is spacious. These old towels Holmes can be quirky as they’re added onto over the years. I personally think it gives a charm. Would highly recommend for a family with one or two kids. The one bathroom could make it challenging for anymore.

Comfortable house with all the supplies we needed for a quiet stay. Host was available for consultation at all times, and offered any support needed.Even with neighboring visitors in the other half of the house, we heard no noise and loved the quiet of the location. Also the location is central to Taos & easy to get to, far enough off the main route to still be quiet.

Best spot in Taos

My daughter and I stayed at this property before, but on the A side. This time we booked the B side and we loved it as much as we did before. everything is well appointed and all our needs were met. The location is perfect for everything you would need to do or see around Taos and is convenient to longer day trips like Ghost Ranch and Santa Fe. The only thing I would suggest is stocking the shelves with more coffee cups. It was a wonderful 9 day stay and we will book again.

Tremendous Taos

This is an old rustic home that speaks to a bygone era. A good location in town and in a nice neighborhood. Not a bad walk to a classic small town shopping area with a variety of shops ranging from mountain gear to local artists. If one is staying for more than a few days you will run out of clean dishes and silverware fairly quickly as the supply is limited. The owner/manager was quick to respond to messages, which was nice. They were very helpful at recommendations for local activities. This is a cozy place to stay located in a time capsule.

perfect original adobe in Taos

Great little house with a genuine Taos vibe! Conveniently located and even though it looks as if it may have been a larger house split into 2 rentals, it is very private. The living area was very large. Extremely easy check-in, we had no communication with owners while we were there as we didn't need anything. I would definitely stay here again.

Within walking distance to town

Property close to town in a quiet neighborhood. Well kept. TV really only provides streaming, no actual local TV and the controls were broken. Local park nice to walk in cause the construction projects in the town made driving quite the circus. Nice getaway but until the local construction is complete (we were told sometime 2025) we will no doubt wait to return.
