We follow the CDC cleaning guidelines. Our spacious and fun vacation home is the perfect getaway for families and groups! Enjoy our backyard, deck, grill, hot tub, ping pong, darts, foosball tables and balconies with amazing views! 25 minute drive to the Taos Ski Valley. 25 minute drive to Taos Plaza. Hike or bike into Carson National Forest minutes from the house. Relax after a day of skiing, hiking, or exploring Taos among pinion, juniper and ponderosa pines in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo range, midway between Taos and the Taos Ski Valley mountain. Enjoy cool, refreshing breezes & mountain views from this elevated, newly-built (2003) 3+ bedroom house with fireplace, jacuzzi, expansive covered porch and bedrooms with private balconies. Perfect for vacationing year round!
 Designed and oriented to maximize the views, this hand-crafted, custom-built, non-smoking home has coved plaster ceilings, log vigas, and the traditional northern New Mexico colonial-style pitched roof. Its many windows are oriented to frame the mountain views and embrace the New Mexico sun with a warm southern exposure that heats and brightens the house all winter. The large south-facing deck on the main level and the two private upper balconies can be enjoyed all year. A full-length covered porch on the north side stays cool through the summer months and provides plenty of room to stomp off snow in the winter. Inside, there are three bedrooms: the master bedroom downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. Both upstairs bedrooms have large private balconies with southern views of the Truchas mountain range. One has a lovely view of the Taos Ski Valley mountain, and is furnished with a queen bed. The other has two bunk beds and an optional futon double mattress for additional guests. The entire first floor has vigas with coved ceilings, and French doors opening onto the large south deck. The master bathroom has a large tub with a picture window framing a view of pine trees. The living room has a large fireplace, for relaxing before a roaring fire. The living room also has a queen-size sofa bed for extra sleeping capacity. The attractive kitchen has a Jenn-Air range and granite tile countertops and is fully-equipped for most cooking needs. Soak away the effects of a long day on the slopes in the outdoor jacuzzi. Taos Ski Valley is nearby, and Angel Fire is a short drive in the other direction. In winter, snow often blankets the property and there is a sledding slope for kids near the driveway. In summer, bring your mountain bikes to explore the trails reached directly from our house. NOTE: Our house is reached by a 1.9 mile county-maintained dirt road (Gallina Canyon Road). Depending on the time of year, a four-wheel drive vehicle may be recommended due to snow conditions
