Relax and reconnect in this intimate, stylish studio located on the banks of the Rio Pueblo. Explore the enchanted Taos area from our centrally located getaway, or simply breathe deeply and let the majestic cottonwoods rejuvenate your soul. After a day of skiing or hiking, cozy up by the fireplace or prepare a meal in the well-appointed kitchen. At dusk, unwind on the private deck — watch birds return to nest and a galaxy of stars welcome you to Taos.

The space
Amenities & Key Information:

Perched above the garden and accessed via a private outdoor staircase, THE LOFT is a tranquil, light-filled studio thoughtfully designed to inspire rest, reflection, and creativity. Influenced by contemporary Asian aesthetics, this serene space is perfect for solo travelers, couples, writers, artists, and retreat-goers. (Please note: The Loft does not include a television.)

Inside, you’ll find a king bed and an open-concept layout curated for your well-being. The space features a well-equipped kitchenette, a private laundry area with an additional full-sized refrigerator, and a bathroom with a shower.

Step outside onto the private deck—ideal for morning yoga, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the crisp mountain air. Don’t forget your binoculars!

THE LOFT sleeps 2 guests comfortably.


Laundry Guidelines:

The laundry room, adjacent to THE LOFT, is reserved exclusively for The Loft guests. As our cleaning team may need access during the day to service THE BARN (from the adjoining unit), we kindly ask that you only use the laundry between 6:00 AM – 10:00 AM or after 4:00 PM. Please remove your items promptly once finished. For your privacy, keep the interior kitchen door locked at all times.


Outdoor Amenities Include:

– EV charger
– Hot tub when The Barn is unoccupied (by request)
– Sun lounger and picnic table in garden below
– Two chairs with small table on deck
– Outdoor gas grill on deck
– Large grassy backyard
– Nature trail to the river
– Meditation tents near the water


Safety & Property Use Guidelines:

Please be advised: a main acequia (irrigation channel) runs near the parking area and often carries fast-moving water during irrigation season. The property also includes hot tubs and river access, which can present safety hazards, especially for young children. Guests are solely responsible for their own safety and that of any minors in their care.

Guests are welcome to explore the grounds south of the main house, down to the river. For your safety, please stay on the path when walking down to the river. The riverside is an excellent spot for picnicking, reading, or simply enjoying nature. The property terrain includes uneven ground and partially concealed ditches that may pose tripping hazards so please be careful where you walk.

By accessing and using the property, guests acknowledge and accept all inherent risks associated with water features, wildlife, and uneven natural terrain.


Parking & Access:

Primary parking for THE LOFT is located in the lower lot—continue straight over the bridge upon entering the property and park in the designated space. The EV charger (JuiceBox) is located in the upper lot, mounted on the left fence.

To access THE LOFT, use the stairs located just to the left of your parking spot.

Other things to note
Important Safety Notice & Guest Guidelines

Please be aware that a main acequia (irrigation ditch) runs alongside the property near the parking area. This ditch is often full of water and may pose a hazard, especially to young children. Additionally, there are hot tubs and a fast-flowing river on the property that also present potential safety risks. Guests assume all responsibility for their safety and the safety of any minors in their care. Children must be supervised at all times.

Guests are welcome to explore the grounds south of the main house down to the river. Please remain on the path and use caution, as there are narrow, partially hidden irrigation ditches in the grassy areas that may cause tripping or injury. By entering and using the property, guests acknowledge and accept any and all risks associated with outdoor terrain and natural water features.

To preserve the peaceful and restorative nature of this experience, we do not allow loud music, parties, or disruptive behavior. Please respect the privacy and space of other guests at all times.

This property is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including raccoons, skunks, coyotes, deer, owls, raptors, and songbirds. Please enjoy them from a distance and do not attempt to feed or approach them.

We strive to offer a sanctuary for guests seeking relaxation, inspiration, and a deep connection with nature. Group bookings of all three accommodations — The Treehouse, The Barn, and The Loft — are welcomed for family gatherings or small retreats. We also accommodate long-term stays, and can suggest nearby lodging options if your group exceeds our capacity.

By staying on this property, guests agree to release the property owners and managers from any liability for injuries, accidents, or losses that may occur during their stay, whether in the accommodations or on the grounds.

Neighborhood highlights

The Loft is centrally-located with easy access to our historic Plazas, Taos Pueblo (World Heritage Site) as well as Taos Ski Valley.

The area is unusually lush and green for Taos in the summer months. Winter usually brings lots of snow from November to March. Snow tires and/or chains are highly recommended during the winter months.

There are magnificent, old Cottonwood trees on the property and you'll be surrounded by calming, pastoral views all the way down to the river. Sometimes you'll see cows grazing on the property.

Taos is well known for its excellent skiing terrain, light powder and blue skies. Taos Ski Valley, a world-class ski resort, is 40 minutes away. Sipapu, Angel Fire and Red River are also great ski areas, easily accessed from our location. We're about 10 minutes away from both the historic Taos and Ranchos Plazas.
