Historic Home of Taos Artist -Peak Season Dates Available! Best Location

STVR permit# STR 2018-00012

There are many houses in Taos for visitors to choose from, but this one stands out for its authenticity and charm. Built by men from the Taos Pueblo in the 1940's for the artist Charles H. Reynolds and his wife Ruth, it is unique and very lovely.
The home is furnished with many of the original antiques, and the walls are hung with paintings by Reynolds and many of his contemporaries. You will feel as if you have stepped back in time, surrounded by thick adobe walls and hand carved beams in the ceilings. The fireplace crackles with pinion wood fires in the winter, scenting the air with its fragrance.
Modern amenities include a high efficiency heater, high speed internet, comfortable beds, and a well equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and microwave oven. There is a washer and dryer and supplies available for your convenience.
One bedroom has a queen bed, the small sunroom has a twin bed, and there is a sweet cubby with another twin bed. The bathroom is finished with Mexican tile work and has a tub and a shower. There is a large shady porch for dining in the summer, and a fenced courtyard for privacy.
All this, and only a short walk to great restaurants and galleries. Leave the car parked and stroll around the quiet neighborhood, or to the Taos Plaza for the Farmer's Market and live music.
The Taos Ale House and the very popular Michael's Kitchen are only a block away. This is a new listing so there are only a few reviews, but to see the larger side and it's reviews please go to VRBO #296467. For a large group of up to nine people the entire house can be rented.
Please take note, this house has a unique architecture which includes steps and low doorways in a couple of areas. There is signage to warn of this, but tall people must use caution.

This vacation home's walkable location gets good marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Taos Art Museum. Enjoy features like laundry facilities. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.

Great communication with property manager. House is spacious. These old towels Holmes can be quirky as they’re added onto over the years. I personally think it gives a charm. Would highly recommend for a family with one or two kids. The one bathroom could make it challenging for anymore.

Comfortable house with all the supplies we needed for a quiet stay. Host was available for consultation at all times, and offered any support needed.Even with neighboring visitors in the other half of the house, we heard no noise and loved the quiet of the location. Also the location is central to Taos & easy to get to, far enough off the main route to still be quiet.

What a wonderful historic home with lots of character. We love how close it is to walk to the Plaza, museums and restaurants. Our dogs loved the 2 enclosed yards and our walks in the quiet streets in the neighborhood. We’ll certainly stay here again.

Fantastic place in Taos

Great location and authentic atmosphere in Taos. Property was bigger and better than the photos on VRBO. Large rooms, comfortable bed and furniture, and nice Taos ambiance. I skied at Taos Valley (about 30 min drive) while my wife had easy walking access to plaza, galleries and museums. Would definitely stay again!
