Dragonfly is an elegant, comfortable one-of-a-kind, 'mountain retreat', off Ski Valley Road, and midway between the town of Taos and Taos Ski Valley. Exquisite ‘top of the hill’ 360 degree views of Taos Mountain and explosive sunsets across the plains. NOTE: We are shifting to 31 days or longer rentals due to a new ordinance that restricts short term rentals in Taos County. This 5250 sqft gated private estate on 5 acres has Southwest ambiance throughout with 3 kiva fireplaces, viga ceilings, copper sconces, nichos, and luxury decor and original art. Hummingbirds and dragonflies are frequent visitors in the extensive gardens full of local Rocky Mountain wildflowers, roses, lavender and fruit trees. Have your morning coffee in the front garden, or an evening barbeque in the back gardens with the rock waterfall/pond full of water lilies and tiger salamanders. Relax in the magical ATRIUM with orchids, ferns and flowers and surround sound, in the den/MUSIC ROOM. Enjoy the steam room shower in the main master bedroom after a day of hiking or skiing the slopes. Pass to nearby spa/fitness center/pool provided upon request. The living room with its custom bronze entertainment cabinet, kiva fireplace and wet bar offers relaxing evenings. Dragonfly has a fully-equipped kitchen with professional range-oven, espresso maker, waffle maker and more, and a breakfast bar that opens to a gracious formal dining room with kiva fireplace. Enjoy 4 master bedroom suites (k, q, q +twin, 2 twins), each with unique decor, ensuite bath, walk-in closets...a rare find in Taos. (Extra nomad floor foam mattresses and queen sofa bed available for larger groups). With living, eating, and sleeping areas both upstairs and down, it feels like two houses! Enjoy our pianos, drum set and other instruments. With HI-SPEED FIBER, It’s a great place for work and play! Please note this is a private retreat and home. We are a drug and smoke free property, NO parties. Please request permission for pets. We typically house 5 to 10, however, we can accommodate more persons with advance notice and preparation. It’s a palace for a couple. Please enquire first for groups more than 10 and disclose total number in your group at the time of your booking. It is also lovely space for writers, composers, screenwriters, and artists. For winter months AWD or 4WD with clearance is required as snow and ice can be sudden and generous. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Espresso maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster - Waffle maker ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 4 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: This is a strictly nonsmoking property in and out. ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Bicycles - Golf - Gym - Snow sports gear - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 6,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, dishwasher, coffee/tea maker](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23290000/23286600/23286530/9b3ec821.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Luminosa Compound Clubhouse with indoor pool, tennis court, Hot Tub Arroyo Seco - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.0 Wonderful 51 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=23286530&PinnedHotelID=23286530&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, dishwasher, coffee/tea maker](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70010000/70006200/70006135/819be8b3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Bella Compound- private yard- stream gourmet kitchen high speed internet Arroyo Seco - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.2 Wonderful 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=70006135&PinnedHotelID=70006135&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21500000/21494800/21494784/fc8d66a3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Winsor Castle & Ski Retreat! 15 min to Ski Lifts and Taos Plaza Valdez - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 67 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=21494784&PinnedHotelID=21494784&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109130000/109129100/109129031/16b59bb6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Northstar, a 4 bed house with pool, sauna, hot tub, in enchanting Arroyo Seco.
