You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Dobson House--Famous Taos Earthship Inn
Two beautiful bedroom suites are available in this magnificent 6,500-square-foot earthship (see photos). The second suite is automatically added for parties of 3-4. Should parties of 2 want both suites, book for 3. You will be the only guests during your booking. Dobson House sits high on a hill ringed by mountains overlooking the Rio Grande Gorge. The two suites occupy the entire lower level of the inn and connect to the magnificent living room and gourmet commercial kitchen via a grand underground staircase. Each adobe and Mexican-tiled suite has gorgeous views, a private patio, queen bed, sitting area, bathroom, mini fridge, microwave, and coffee and tea service. Cook meals in the gourmet commercial kitchen. Dine with gorgeous views. Hike, bike, or snowshoe beautiful trails. The rim of the gorge, where you'll find breathtaking views of the canyon and Rio Grande 800-feet below, is a 10-minute hike from your door. Mineral-rich hot springs are a hike away. Gorgeous sunsets and starry skies await. Please note that this exquisite 6,500-square-foot earthship, built to be an exclusive inn, has an innkeeper on premises. My sweet dog, Ruby, and I are here to ensure your experience is exceptional. Wonderfully off the beaten path, vehicles with AWD or 4WD and good clearance are necessary in inclement weather.
