A mountainside home and casita retreat near Taos and Arroyo Seco

Come immerse yourself in the peace and power of the Taos Mountains while we’re away traveling…

Nestled on three acres of mountain landscape, our fully furnished home and guesthouse (casita) offer a serene, grounding retreat between Arroyo Seco and Taos Ski Valley (just 17 minutes away). Surrounded by piñon, sage, and expansive vistas, this is a place to slow down, reconnect, and feel deeply held by the high desert.

Whether you're seeking a seasonal reset, a creative sabbatical, or a longer-term home base, our property offers flexible mid- and long-term stays (1 to 6+ months), with both comfort and inspiration in mind.
