Restored Adobe Home with Views from Three Porches - Near Hiking & Skiing

The Birdhouse

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This restored 1925 villa features classic adobe design, genuine plaster walls and vigas ceilings, and three porches, all with spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. The interior is bright and happy, illuminated by lots of natural light flooding in through large windows with beautiful views of the natural New Mexican landscape that surrounds the home. You'll love watching your favorite movies and shows on the flatscreen cable TV while warming yourself next to a hot fire in the fireplace on those frosty winter nights. And summer guests can enjoy al fresco meals outside on the patio table. Speaking of meals, the full kitchen is open and, well, gorgeous! Lovely cookware hangs from a pot and pan rack suspended over ample counter space, sure to inspire even the most demanding chefs. This home also features individual room heaters and plenty of sleeping accommodations for up to four guests, plus 1,360-square-feet of living space, so everyone will have plenty of elbow room and privacy during their stay. Late afternoon winds from approaching summer storms blow at the home’s chimes creating soothing sounds and the temperature may drop making for a lovely, cool evening on one of the three porches. Not to mention, magpies, ravens, and hummingbirds abound in the area to accompany you during your stay.

WHAT’S NEARBY
This area still retains its past agricultural and more rural charm. Yet, it is only a two mile walk to Taos Plaza and John Dunn Shops where you will find unique boutiques, creative art, restaurants for dining, and a Farmers Market on Saturdays in the summer for purchasing meat, fish, and veggies for grilling at The Birdhouse. Naturally, there are lots of outdoor activities to take advantage of right next door such as snowshoeing, mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, and whitewater rafting. Shoppers will love visiting Taos Plaza, just two miles north, to find unique boutiques, eateries, and works by local artisans to enjoy. Taos Ski Valley is 40-minutes northeast with amazing ski slopes to shred with friends. You'll also be just over 10 miles from Taos Regional Airport.

THINGS TO KNOW
Please note that there are evaporative coolers in the two bedroom closets for cooling the home using water.

Summer time stay.
The house is beautiful, so much charm. It's been unseasonably hot in Taos and the house doesn't have air conditioning. One person in our group has asthma and even with the coolers and fans on, had a hard time breathing. So, unfortunately we had to leave after the first night.

Cute place, great location.
Beautifully decorated, clean, with everything you need for a short or long term stay. Do be aware that the check out instructions include turning down the water heater. We were not aware of this on check in so our first showers were cold. Did not take away from our very enjoyable stay.

Beautiful views!
I can’t say enough about my stay in The Birdhouse. Upon arrival it was super clean and soaps and linens all provided. The kitchen is beautiful and fully stocked. The master bedroom is amazing. Gas fireplace and sitting room with views of the mountains. We did have a mouse sighting, which is totally expected when your staying in a rural area, which was handled by the property manager immediately. We never saw another after. If you’re looking for a place close to Taos Plaza, but want a rural feel with beautiful views, this is your place. We will be back.

Hot mouse house
We had higher than usual temperatures and the house was very hot. Brought our own fans. Found mice in small bedroom 3 times. No grill or outside umbrella for table. Bought our own umbrella. Silverware and dishes were not cleaned well. We enjoyed fishing and rafting despite the heat.

Lovely escape
The house was fully furnished and so comfortable. We had a couple snow days while visiting and it was lovely to cozy up on the couch with the fireplace going. The house has a kick ass selection of DVDs, and we were able to find some more at a thrift store down the road! We used the really nice blender for margaritas one night. Someone in a comment below complained about the wind chimes. I personally loved them. There was one night where we were watching a movie and they were a bit much, so I took them off the hook and set them on the bench for the evening. No reason for complaint! The beds and pillows were really good quality and comfortable. Overall, this house was cozy, clean, accommodating, convenient to town, and peaceful. The decor was charming. With the snowstorm surprising us; this house and its accommodations really made this spring break vacation so cheerful and snuggly.

House is great, Vacasa could use some improvements.
The house is really great and the location is great. The listing is not accurate regarding the fireplace which is why we booked the place. Vacasa was not great at the follow up with this and it was never addressed. That said, if you don't care about a fireplace the house really is super cozy and has everything you need. The backyard is wonderful.

Pretty Enjoyable
I really loved the location, the decor and the patio and courtyard. The location was easy to find and very spacious. Unfortunately we arrived in a rather wet and cool weather pattern and we were not as warm as we would have liked. Still a great place.

Charming little abobe
We had a wonderful time in Taos, and the Birdhouse was very nice. Aside from a few dirty dishes in the cabinets, the house appeared to be pretty clean when we arrived.
