Nestled in a quiet community at the mouth of the canyon to Taos Ski Valley (15min), the Ristra Studio is perfectly located for those interested in exploring all the area has to offer, from enchanting mountain scenery to the world-renowned culture, food, and art of Taos (20min) or Arroyo Seco (5min). The studio is one of three located on a uniquely designed property that showcases a classic southwestern adobe style.

The interior embodies the Southwest. Saltia tiling, traditional viga beams, a hand-painted mural, and a large wood burning kiva fireplace are warm and inviting. High-speed internet, a streaming/casting compatible TV (Hulu, Netflix, Max, Disney+ subscriptions all included), keyless smart locks, espresso machine, full kitchen, private bathroom, and free parking are included.

A private balcony features outdoor bistro seating, lounge chair, and stunning views of the Rio Hondo River Valley below. The balcony also includes outdoor string lighting and a covered area which provides shade for the summer months. It also offers fantastic star gazing on clear nights.

A glass sliding door connects the balcony to the studio and includes a screen door for airflow in the summer. Inside the studio you can dine/work at a bar-level table or relax on a leather living room couch that seats two. The queen size memory foam mattress is topped with down pillows and premium sheets. A closet provides ample storage for skis or fishing equipment. A washer/dryer are included for your convenience as well.

The kitchen area has a full size refrigerator/freezer, oven/stove, all necessary dish-ware, espresso machine, drip coffee maker, cook-ware, toaster, blender, kettle, and microwave. Coffee, cooking oil, and basic spices are supplied. Wood and fire starter are provided year-round for the fireplace.

Cell service is poor at the property. Please save your door code and WiFi information offline before arriving to ensure smooth check-in. 4-wheel-drive is required to access the property via dirt road, especially in winter. Snow tires are recommended. The property has a keypad lock that allows you to come and go without having to worry about keys. Each guest is provided a unique code during their stay for enhanced security. Please note that the front door access is shared between this studio and two others. Guests from all three studios have front door access, but only you have access to your private studio.
