About this property

TRANQUIL GET AWAY between Taos & Ski Valley

Our Blue Adobe is a gracious, well-equipped 3 bedroom adobe home in a great location, between the town of Taos and Taos Ski Valley. This is the perfect 'home base' for your Taos vacation or get-away with family or friends, or even a romantic retreat. Enjoy the luxurious new hot-tub while you view the beautiful Sangre de Cristo Mountains. You will have all the comforts of home with a view, in one of best neighborhoods in the Taos area, and only minutes from town or the ski slopes.

Whatever the weather, park your vehicle in the attached garage and walk into the spacious master bedroom suite with a kiva fireplace, whirlpool bath, and separate back porch. Relax on the king size bed or leather couch, or set your laptop on the desk and connect to the internet with high speed wi-fi powered by fiber optic cable. The master's double vanity is separated by a door to the stall shower, toilet, and jetted tub.

If someone in your group craves the comfort of a TempurPedic bed, our room at the end of the hall will supply king-size satisfaction. In fact all three bedrooms have king size beds, large closets, comfortable furnishings, and each has a smart TV. The large sunken living room has an exceptional Ultra HD 4k TV on the wall where you can enjoy Netflix or an assortment of DVDs, or connect this smart TV to your own favorite app. If you need extra sleeping space, the leather couch opens up to a quality queen-size sofa-bed which is actually comfortable! Light a wood fire in the living room's kiva fireplace and relax.

The fully-stocked kitchen has everything you'll need to enjoy cooking at home when you are so inclined. If you feel like having a barbecue on the back patio, you will also have that option. The dining room table easily seats 7, with a great view of the often spectacular sunsets. And there are several very good restaurants nearby when you don't feel like cooking.

There is also a laundry room with washing machine and dryer, deluxe linens and plush towels, and cozy robes to slip on when you step out to the hot-tub. From our point of view, this is just like home, only a lot better.

The house is cool and breezy in summer; and with radiant heat in the floor, always comfortable when it's cold outside. And just a quick 5 mile drive to town or 13 to Ski Valley. What are you waiting for? Find out if your special dates are still available. We hope to hear from you soon.

Great place

We had a very nice stay for our ski vacation. The house was great, with well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, cozy living room, and clean bathrooms. We especially loved the fireplace and hot tub. The night sky is spectacular, so many stars! The location was perfect for us, 20 minutes one way to nice restaurants in Taos, 20 minutes the other way to the ski resort. I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic spot!

We loved this house. It fit our family of 4 (two kids age range 4-9), in-laws, and sister-in-law comfortably. The place is very homey in a way that doesn't feel too personal, but is also well done. Nice art and touches with posters from Santa Fe Music Festival and others. We were all commenting that we could live there, which says a lot because we're generally homebodies.

Beautiful house in the perfect location

This house is beautifully crafted and arranged for shared time on vacation, with a kitchen that allowed for home-cooked meals together. It is situated in an excellent location between the ski mountain and town of Taos, both of which are favorites for us.

Fabulous Blue Adobe Getaway

The house was more than we expected! The architecture is amazing and the location was perfect for us. There are three patios which are all a little different from each others but all amazing spaces. Many flowers in bloom! We did not want to leave when the time came. Really had an awesome time ❤️

Girls trip

Our group of 4 high school friends enjoyed a 4 day, 3 night stay at this beautiful property. The home was perfect, with large rooms and comfortable beds. The kitchen was fully furnished, including lots of ice from the ice maker. The Taos suggestions were quite helpful.in early September there were flowers blooming everywhere, and the landscaping was green. I could see stars from the bed, and the quiet was delightful. All of us would not hesitate to stay at Blue Adobe again. Thanks Thom and Thao.

Big comfy house

Really well appointed place! Had everything we needed and all beds (including the sofa beds) were so comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay there, the views, the hot tub, the amount of space. Convenient location too because we could get to Taos or nature in like 10 mins. Would stay again!
