About this property

Palace Of Miracles: Hot Tub, Lounge Spaces, +Casita, mtn views,5 courtyrds,6 FPs

According to legend, the Palacio was originally a stop on the Military Line of the Pony Express, then re-built as an Art Gallery. It is now Converted to a Getaway For Groups that want LOTS of elbow room in a sprawling 7000 square feet. The South Gallery is 34 feet long, the Main gallery even larger. There is the Palacio (main house), the Casita (guest house), Seven (7) fireplaces, and five(5) courtyards.

Send the kids to the North Gallery / Bunk Room and they will be in a world of their own, all the way across the Main Gallery. The Master Bedroom has its own fireplace and lounge, which is larger than most living rooms at 20 x 20.

The Dining Room has its own fireplace for cozy meals, or just to gather. The Pantry can handle meal preparation for large groups, and serves out to the Dining room. The eat-in Kitchen has room to serve an informal meal and its own fireplace.

The Guest House has its own bathroom, kitchenette, fireplace, living, study and bedroom, available as an add-on option at an extra charge. It is separately entered across the inner courtyard from the main house.

There is no other house like it in Taos. The Palacio is conveniently located near Arroyo Seco on the paved and plowed Ski Valley Road. Beds, futons and couches sleep 20 or more. With the optional Guest House, a total of 5 bedrooms and 4 baths will accommodate a large party; the guest house alone is sufficient for a small family or couple.

ABOUT PETS-- We are making the Palacio open to pets, but pet owners must be responsible. Pets are allowed in designated areas and are NOT ALLOWED on furniture, rugs or carpets. The pet fee is $300, but $250 will be refunded if the housekeeper confirms there are no pet damage or pet hairs left behind.

NOTE: The Palacio is mostly located on one ground floor, but includes numerous "changes of level" (also known as "steps") when passing from room to room. Please be alert and aware, and step up or down when passing a change of level. See, for example, the photo of the Foyer, which looks out over the Main Gallery below.

Amazing for a large group

There is so much room in this place! We had a very large group and it never felt cramped. The TV in the main room is large and the cable includes tons of sports channels. The drive to Taos Ski Valley was easy and the location right off the highway was great. The host was great about getting us all the info including a map of the property! The kitchen is large enough for cooking large meals. If you're looking for a large space in the Taos area this is the spot.

A beautiful and spacious "palace" near Taos

We have been coming to the Taos ski valley for years and were so impressed by the Palace of Miracles. It not only had everything we needed (and more) for our two families, it had so much character and charm and extra amenities that we weren't anticipating. In addition to all the spaciousness, the beds and couches were all very comfortable. There were also lots of games and entertainment including ping pong and karaoke. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to booking the palace of miracles again in the future. The property owner, Lincoln, was also very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Such a lovely stay. Plenty of room close to the ski hill, and town. Quiet enough to have a baby sleeping, while everyone else plays games, cooks, or watches movies. Even had some people reading with no distractions. Felt like home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Lincoln B Quintana

Host profile image
Only a miracle (combined with a lot of elbow grease) made it possible for us to own the Palacio. As shown in this picture, we have re-plumbed and massively renovated the property. I'm good with a pick and shovel and my wife has good taste and knows southwest art and design. We are committed to making the Palacio a place where guests can find their own miracles.

Why they chose this property

The Palacio was originally built by an artist who was also a contractor and a pilot. It was his gallery. It adjoins the Taos Pueblo Lands and stands in the lee of El Salto and the "Magic Mountain". Now we are remaking it into a place where groups can spend a few days, a week or a month taking in the magic of Taos. The main house has beds and bedrooms for 12 and sleeping room for up to 20. The separate guest house has its own bathroom, kitchenette, bedroom and study with sleeping space for another 6 people. The guest house is available at a discount to guests in the main house, or at a reduced first-season rate to smaller parties.

What makes this property unique

Beams, latillas, woodwork, adobe and plaster all set the stage for the quintessential Taos experience, but the huge rooms give the Palacio a magnificence that is not found elsewhere. The building makes me feel expansive and lets my mind roam. Bring your art or music and be creative here. Or sit back and enjoy life in a palatial space.
