A Hidden River House Private setting Big Sky Views Walk to a hidden River

Mesa - In the middle of it all - 4 miles south of Blueberry Hill - 2 miles north of Taos Country Club (open to the public) 6 miles to Taos village, 18 miles to Taos Ski Valley

“A Hidden River House”, nestled with 4 neighboring homes on the open mesa, is a semi-secluded respite providing 365 degree mountain / mesa views. Each home is strategically situated, affording residents a total sense of quiet serenity and visual privacy.

Two very separate patios offer a varied choice of awe inspiring north or south mountain views. You will experience the rich southwest sun rise and sun set “light shows” so loved and made famous by world renowned artist Georgia O’Keefe.

The large central kitchen, fully equipped with upscale tableware and cookware, comes complete with dishwasher, oven/range, microwave, large fridge and an abundance of counter space. A breakfast bar for two adds dining space or computer work space. Walk out the sliding glass doors for “alfresco dining” on the north patio.

Enjoy 180 degree panoramic views from the light, bright and airy great room with three walls of windows and glass doors. A kiva fireplace adds traditional southwest charm and comes equipped with firewood for romantic fireside dining and cozy evenings of satellite flat screen TV enjoyment.

The two bedrooms are buffered by a full bathroom, creating a total sound barrier between them. The large king master bedroom, with sliding glass doors, walks out to the north patio and the queen guest bedroom is home to the ever important telescope. We promise, you will never forget the “starry starry nights” uninterrupted by city lights as viewed from A Hidden River House. Her dark skies are unparalleled!!

Located as central hub between the 4 major Taos attractions, daily travel is simplified in all directions. Taos Country Club (4 miles) and the newly declared Rio Grande del Norte National Monument (10 miles) are to the south. Taos Ski Valley (18 miles) head north and the quaint adobe village of Taos, New Mexico (6 miles).

If you are searching for quiet private serenity and a unique lodging experience, search no longer. A Hidden River House is waiting your arrival and assures you of lasting fond memories.

Please be advised during heavy snows a 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive, or optional chains are necessary.

Beautiful Autumn Stay
We had a lovely time. It was our second time staying here. The first week we showed my nephew what we love about Taos, the next 3 weeks we worked remotely. The house is perfectly situated for views and wildlife (birds, hawks, an owl, a coyote were all seen). Highly recommend.

Nice, Quiet Location
We enjoyed at our stay at this home, and especially liked watching the birds and other wildlife that wandered into the little backyard. A covey of quail came through at one point!

Beautiful house in great area but complicated for a long stay
We were there a month. By and large, we loved the house and loved the area. Their were so many of the owners' personal and decorative items that we had to move some to make room for our own things and to protect theirs. We had a couple of issues: The biggest was a kitchen cabinet door. We found it broken with dry glue on the broken part that showed that it had been glued before. There was also a bottle of wood glue in the house. We called the property manager to let him know and someone picked up the door for repair quickly. They insinuated that we broke it despite the dried glue. I called several times to confirm that we were not to be blamed but never got confirmation and we were nervous that we would be blamed for other old damage to the house. That made us a little uncomfortable. Other than that, the property manager was very responsive and helpful.

Location, location!
If you like privacy, and fantastic views & sunsets, then this is a property for you. We were here 6 nights, and our favorite part was the back patio, and enjoying the mountain views. The back yard ramada was very interesting, & creative. When we arrived, the house had not been cleaned properly, and I communicated with the local caretaker that evening. She returned my call the next morning, and she understood our disappointment. Floors were dirty, counter tops needed wiping, and the top of fridge very dusty. She took care of everything while we were out sightseeing. She apologized, and we felt satisfied. The house does need a good deep cleaning, but bed linens were clean, bathroom was clean too. The mattress in the master was comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook. We walked to the "hidden river" several times, very pretty setting. There is another ramada there overlooking the river, bring a picnic lunch, so peaceful. Suggestions for the owner - some plastic wine glasses for outside use. New pillows, all of the bed pillows were pretty wimpy, and thin. Also, the kitchen patio screen door is awful to open and close, it's a struggle every time.

Not As Described-Part 1
We did not have a good experience. Would not recommend this house, or location. Left early and found a better location to stay at. When we arrived at the house the wind was hollowing. There were significant wind gusts. Once we found the key for the house, location was not given to us, we unlocked the door. The wind was blowing so hard that I hung onto the door so it would not slam open. Before we even stepped into the house there was a crash. As we got in the door, we saw that a figurine had been blown over that was in the nitch in wall across from door. When it blew over it created another one to crash to floor. We had to locate a broom and dustpan and get the rug picked up, so our dogs did not get cut by anything. We immediately took all the other figurines out of the nitch and placed on table so no other ones would be broken. I reported this to the individual that answered the phone for caretaker contact. He made the comment that it had been very windy. Our issue with this is we are being charged for something that broke and was completely out of our control. Noone was doing anything crazy; we had not even stepped foot in the house yet. As we started to settle in and look around the house, we noticed that the outside areas were nothing like pictured on the VRBO site. In the pictures on VRBO it shows a nice sitting area labeled side yard. The vegetation is so overgrown that we were not able to access this area. The side yard looks nothing at all like the pictures posted due to the overgrown vegetation. In the pictures on VRBO it also shows a nice patio area for sitting at a table, with cushions. Again, the vegetation is so overgrown that we had to maneuver the chairs around have any room. we also looked around for cushions for the chairs and were unable to find any. It was a tight fit down the path to gathering location due to the vegetation as well. The pictures for outdoor space are very misleading. My husband and I attempted showers and discovered we had no hot water. The hot water heater did not appear to be working. I did notify the number for caretaker and the gentleman did offer to come over and take a look. We were tired and ready to settle in. I told him we would touch base the next morning.
