About this property

Serene Taos Ski & Mountain Bike Retreat with Stunning Views — Upper Level

The serene Taos Ski and Mountain Bike home is a quiet 2 acre sanctuary with expansive views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range to the edge of the Rio Grande river. The house is a split level duplex. Each level is fully private. You enter the upper property. You enter into the main room where Taos Mountain can be seen to your left while the Rio Hondo is 1 km in the distance. The Rio Hondo drains the melting snow from the Taos Ski Valley Resort located just 2O minutes up the road. Take in the views from the deck or sit back in the sofa with a warm fire in the wood stove. The master bedroom has a California King bed, full bath with subway tiles on two walls allowing for ample natural light into the space.

The oversized kitchen has all the amenities and utensils you need to cook a delicious meal, including a full set of pots and pans, cookware, dinnerware, flatware, serving ware, drink ware, and linens. Please help yourself to organic coffee, popcorn and pasta in the jars on the counter. You can choose to make coffee in three ways: pour over, an Italian Bialetti or a French press.

The wifi is strong and was trenched to the house so it would be as secure and consistent as possible. When working remotely, you will be able to download documents, stream movies, live events and Zoom.

Taos Ski Valley has been featured in Outside Magazine's 2023 list of Best Places to Visit in the U.S. for Adventure! "Aside from its reputation for driving change, the main reason skiers flock to this resort in northern New Mexico is for the uncrowded, low-key vibe. That and the quick hike to steep chutes off the West Basin, bird’s-eye views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from atop 12,481-foot Kachina Peak, and the green-chile-stuffed breakfast burritos. . ." Outside Magazine.

Location and Activities
Tres Lomas is a quiet rural community just minutes from the World UNESCO Heritage Site of Taos Pueblo and the thriving art and food community of Taos. Right out the front door are hundreds of trails for mountain and gravel biking. You can leave your bike on the front porch and soak in a quiet peaceful time to recuperate after a long ride or hike. The Carson National Forest offers amazing hiking and camping and fishing while the Rio Grande is located just 2km to the west. At the Rio Grande you can find sandy beaches that allow for excellent swimming in summer or take a rafting and kayaking trip down the Rio for an exciting challenge on class 3 rapids. You can visit the nearby Manby Hot Springs (made famous in the movie "Easy Rider" with Dennis Hopper) for a relaxing soak. Then return home where you can look out over the spectacular scenery, the Rio Hondo flowing out of sight under a tree canopy and down to the Rio Grande just to the west of the house. The Rio Grande is also just located 5 minutes from the property and provides sandy beaches and free flowing water for swimming, rafting and kayaking. You can even sign up for horseback riding or hot air balloon rides with local providers.

Getting here:
Fly direct to Taos or drive.
The Tres Lomas Taos House is located just a few minutes north of Taos city proper. Taos airport is only 15 minutes from the property. You can fly directly into Taos airport from San Diego, Los Angeles, Austin and Dallas via JSX/Taos Air is currently offering free snowboard/ski rental package for up to four days for every airline ticket you purchase to fly into Taos. In the summer you can fly in and get a free lift ticket to hike and mountain bike the Taos Ski Valley Resort.

Breathtaking Views and Great Base Camp for Exploring the Taos Area
For starters, the pictures are accurate. The house sits on a ridge overlooking the Arroyo Hondo valley, with stunning views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east and south. On clear nights, the stargazing was fantastic. You have a lot of privacy there. While there are other houses close by on the road, but I don’t think we ever saw another person around during our five days there. The location was great for exploring the area. We enjoyed the hot spring resorts in Ojo Caliente and Jemez Springs (the latter is substantially farther though). There are a ton of hiking options nearby for almost any level of interest/ability. We had a great day hike along the Rio Grande Canyon. Restaurant choices were really good- especially for a relatively rural area. There were several great restaurants in Taos and the little towns on the way to Taos. Arroyo Seco- about 15 minutes away- has a couple of fancier, chef-driven type places. Overall, we were really pleased. The only drawback that comes to mind is that- like a lot of houses around there- it does not have AC. Of course, being in the high desert, nights were very cool and the days were relatively mild in late April.

Light snow began to fall on the my last night. Looking out through the windows at the powdery landscape, there was a peaceful silence that filled the air. A great getaway from the city.

Comfortable home with great views
This home is simple and comfortable. Its peaceful location and stellar views make it extra special. The host was extremely helpful, and his restaurant recommendations were spot-on. Note that during summer weather, the home can get stuffy and warm, especially towards late afternoon and evening (highs were in the 80s when I stayed there). Even with doors and windows open, there isn't much cross-ventilation, so plan to be out enjoying the mountains until the sun goes down, when the cool night breezes blow in.

Great Taos home, incredible views
I just spent a week at this home, and I would just echo what other reviewers said about this place: very comfortable home, well provisioned and great location close to all that Taos has to offer. The views are really just spectacular--the way the house is set up around the vistas is perfect, and it makes it a great place to spend time in, or to come home to after a day exploring the area. Communication with the host was excellent. Would highly recommend this spot.

Stunning Views!
Absolutely loved our stay here! The house was warm and welcoming, while also being minimalist and letting the natural landscape be the star. The views from the walls of windows are incredible -- we made sure to be back in time for sunset every afternoon, and to catch the sunrise in the mornings. Plus the balcony was great for stargazing! Plus Dan was a great host, and replied to any questions immediately. Can't wait to stay here again!

Amazing views and beautiful home!
The communication upfront and check-in process was great. Views were unreal, sunset and sunrise were beautiful, and the sky at night was a sight to see. I loved the kitchen and living room, especially with those windows all around. Great location, close to great hiking trails, hot springs, secluded and yet Taos was only a 15min drive away.

Views to die for.
Really enjoyed our stay at this property. Some may say the lack of a TV is a negative but with the views from all he windows over the Arroyo and the mountains, who needs a TV. You take a picture and two seconds later the light changes and the view is even better. Clean, comfortable and with everything you need to enjoy your stay in the Taos area. Only problem I see is, it is so nice inside you may have trouble enjoying all the area has to offer because you have to leave. Gene and Heather.

Really enjoyed our experience here! The house was very comfortable, tidy and well equipped with everything we needed. Dan was so accommodating and communicative. You can tell he really takes pride in his place. It is located a short 10 -15 drive north of town, but that allows you to get up a bit higher to enjoy some openness and amazing views of the mesa. Highly recommend this special and unique spot.

Aurora Hondo views
Aurora Hondo views. Very good views of this mountains and countryside. House was clean and well-maintained. Kitchen was stocked sufficiently. Good host no problems there. Very good location for going around the enchanted Circle. Very enjoyable trip. I would have suggested just a few things. The steps down The hill to the door Are challenging for some. With good Wi-Fi could use a television. Should make mention that there is no air conditioner. And should make mention that it is on a gravel road for a little ways. I would also get a Keurig coffee maker. And get a very domesticated ladyTo rearrange your kitchen drawers. Please don’t think I’m trying to offend. Just a suggestion trying to help. Enjoyed our stay very much and would do it again. Thank you

Don't miss Taos, or Dan's house.
All the comments about cleanliness and beautiful vistas are true, not exaggeration. So are the compliments about Dan’s hospitality. But what impressed us the most was the care Dan has put into his home. The house is amazingly designed, comfortably furnished, perfectly situated on a hillside, very convenient to Taos and generously stocked. It's easy to get to (although we made sure to arrive in daylight the first time) and it's difficult to leave. Dan loves his home, we loved his home, and you will too.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Pingaro

Host profile image
I live part time at the Taos Ski and Mountain Bike house. The house is located on two acres of land and the neighborhood is a quiet location great for artistic inspiration or outdoor activities.

Why they chose this property

Tres Lomas is a quiet, semi-rural community just minutes from the World UNESCO Heritage Site of Taos Pueblo and the thriving art and food community of Taos. Right out the front door are hundreds of trails for mountain and gravel biking. You can leave your bike on the front porch and soak in a quiet peaceful time to recuperate after a long ride or hike. The Carson National Forest offers amazing hiking and camping and fishing while the Rio Grande is located just 2km to the west. At the Rio Grande you can find sandy beaches that allow for excellent swimming in summer or take a rafting and kayaking trip down the Rio for an exciting challenge on class 3 rapids. You can visit the nearby Manby Hot Springs or the New Buffalo Commune (made famous in the movie "Easy Rider" with Dennis Hopper & Peter Fonda) for a relaxing soak. Then return home where you can look out over the spectacular scenery, the Rio Hondo flowing out of sight under a tree canopy and down to the Rio Grande just to the west of the house.
For everyone's safety there is a single security camera located above the entrance that records a still image of anyone coming or going from the house. This image is then deleted within 30 days or sooner.

The house is serence and quiet on 2 acres.
