The property is fantastic, the views are wonderful, and the host is beyond amazing. We had some car trouble the last night of our stay and the host helped coordinate with some local help to get us back on the road the next morning. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at this unique and beautiful home! The home had everything we could need. We loved watching the sunsets and sunrises from the deck, gazing at the stars from the hot tub and taking a quick trip down to the hot springs - I couldn’t recommend staying here enough! The host was extremely communicative and made sure we felt right at home!

Great stay in Taos. Very private location with beautiful views of mountains and gorge. House was very well appointed and comfortable. Master bedroom was very spacious with private entry to sitting area and fire pit. Heated floors were a bonus. Hot tub and deck made for a very relaxing time while enjoying the sunset. Private access to Manby Hot Springs was a bonus along with the home being pet friendly. We hiked a great deal around the property and the pups really enjoyed their time. Would highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again!

Perfect family getaway

We loved our stay! We traveled with kids, everything was as described and instructions were very thought out. We stay in 2-3 Vrbos a year and this one was top of the list for amenities.

An incredible, beautiful house and property! I particularly loved reading about how the house was built. The property speaks for itself: gorgeous, remote, and breathtaking. We spent most of our time on the porch in the wonderful hot tub or lounging on the comfortable chairs taking in the views. The stargazing was incredible!! Hope to visit again soon!

Amazing Stay

We loved staying here- it was the perfect location for those who want to enjoy taos but feel remote. The hiking trails on property were cherry on top. We saw bighorn sheep and perfect views. Cozy and accomodating.

We loved our long weekend stay with our kiddos! Cloudy but overall great weather for October & amazing star gazing in hot tub one night! Really enjoyed the Manby hot springs hike. Just right for the kids! We found a baby sheep that grazed near the hot springs while we were there. Lovely home for an easy getaway from Denver! Thank you!!!!

Gorgeous Gorge

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! It is such a unique property with amazing views. For us, it is a perfect balance of privacy and serenity, but close to Taos or on the way to Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch. This was our second stay - with hopefully more to come in the future! Thanks again!

Beautiful escape

This property is situated on a gorgeous piece of land that is peaceful and well-maintained. The place was perfect for our family of four. Our two boys shared the second bedroom, which had two beds. There was everything we needed to cook several meals, use the hot tub, and clean a load of laundry. The ride into town is not too far, with a great view as you go. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

This place is perfect for a secluded place to get away for a while. Don't do what we did and put the address in if you're using GPS just put in the Taos airport and follow the host's directions from there. We had an amazing time hiking down the gorge, watching shooting stars from the hot tub at night, and cooking meals together in the kitchen. We have some hilarious pictures of our short friend standing on a stool to cook on the high counters.

Red earth palace

Absolutely phenomenal stay in Taos, NM! This home was beyond amazing - from the cozy interior to the perfect location. The highlight was definitely the private hot springs hike, an experience like no other! Being able to unwind in the hot tub under the stars after a day of adventure was pure bliss. Plus, the convenience of being close to town added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip. 10/10, would definitely stay here again!

Nice escape from the Texas heat!

We booked a week around Labor Day to escape the Texas heat. The setup was great for us and our 1 small dog. The host was very responsive and helpful with any questions. We enjoyed exploring Taos and a couple of rounds of golf along with needed relaxation!

Wonderful stay near Taos

We loved our stay at The Red Earth Palace. It is a really cool house sited in a beautiful and somewhat remote area near Taos. It is along the Rio Grande where you can hike down to the hot springs. We had a very relaxing and peaceful weekend. The house itself is lovely and very clean. The kitchen is very well setup with all the tools you could possibly ask for. The host, Katherin, is wonderful and very easy to communicate with. Thanks for a lovely stay in your beautiful home.
