You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Eastern Star Retreat - Open Plan, well-appointed home with mountain views.

Beautiful Adobe-style, custom home with magnificent panoramic view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Slow down. Take in the scenery. True to its name, step outside to watch the crimson hues over the mountain range at every sunrise and sunset. Alternately, stay cozy indoors to unwind, read your favorite book by the fireplace, or gaze at nature from our walls of windows while sipping your favorite drink.

This well-appointed, comfortable home tastefully displays a collection of southwest pottery, paintings, lightings, custom stained-glass artwork and other collectibles in every room. It offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths.

The home is located in the coveted Blueberry Hill area, next to one of Taos’ main paved roads. No 4WD or lengthy drive on spine-jolting gravel roads is involved! Home sits high on a 3-acre lot with privacy fence. It is 5.5 miles from Taos Plaza and a quick, easy drive to restaurants, shops, sights, and outdoor recreational activities including fly fishing, biking, hiking, horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding, white water rafting, and golfing.

The first master bedroom is complete with a wood-burning fireplace and an en suite bath with double sinks. The second master bedroom also sports an en suite full bath with double sinks. Both en suite baths have large walk-in shower for easy, convenient access. The third bathroom is located next door to the third bedroom, and it has a bathtub and shower combo. Each bedroom comes with a king Sealy's Premium Posturepedic mattress, and each bathroom comes with luxurious towels.

The spacious 21' x 25' great room truly speaks to quality family time as it provides multiple seating areas and a collection of table games for the young and old. The house has an ideal chef's kitchen. All sorts of cookware, cooking utensils and serving dishes are provided for any size meal sharing.

Eastern Star Retreat is a single level, modern, custom-built adobe-style home. No sunken living room or baths like many homes in this area. No steps or spiral staircase to climb or maneuver. Certainly, convenient and safe home features for all members of the family.

The radiant floor heating system under the Saltillo tiles provides gentle, even, warm air throughout home in the winter months. In the warmer months (from late May to September), the evaporative cooling system naturally changes the warm, dry air of this region into cool, moist air inside the home.

You will feel instantly welcome and pleased as you enter the house and are presented with a foyer, a fireplace and a majestic mountain view. A true family get-away vacation! In the event you find the need to stay connected with the information highway, the high-speed fiber optic internet is in place for you.

Eastern Star is the perfect retreat for ALL seasons.

Spring ski trip

Eastern Star Resort is fabulous. It was extremely clean, comfortable beds and very well stocked. We loved our stay here and if we ever come back to Taos we would definitely stay again. The owners are responsive and gave suggestions on things to do. The location is perfect- far enough from Taos to see the night sky but close enough to be convenient.

Great location, clean and comfortable home with more than ample living spaces for our family of 7. Kitchen is well equipped with dishes, glassware, cookware (but could really use a large skillet) and spices. Jacuzzi tub outside was very nice and very big. The property instructions are everywhere - almost everything has labels, rules and instructions and while that was nice it was also borderline too much. Mattresses very comfortable however master bedroom pillows were not comfortable so I would recommend bringing your own pillow like we did which was easy.

Perfect and Beautiful Base Camp for Northern New Mexico

We spent a week at the Eastern Star. It was wonderful. The place had everything we needed and our hosts were very responsive to the questions we hit them with. It was a great location to explore the region from. Our kids already asked when we are coming back.

Wonderful Stay

We stayed at this lovely home while attending Michael Hearne’s Big Barn Dance. The owners have thought of every detail in making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The home is beautifully furnished and is located close enough to Taos to be there in 10 minutes but far away enough to see the stars at night! The Mountain View was beautiful from everywhere in the house. Highly recommend staying here!
