Available as a 1-, 2-, or 3-bedroom vacation rental
Adobe de Artista is not just a vacation home. It allows visitors to live a true Taos experience – one of whimsy and relaxation, with access to adventure.
Whether you want pristine mountain and mesa views, artistic flair, unique architecture, or proximity to not only the town of Taos, but also to the Ski Valley and the Taos Gorge, this home has it all.
One of a handful of custom homes designed and built by Taos’ famous painter, Ed Sandoval, this rare distinctive residence is made in the old world style of using adobe bricks. Many interior walls appear to glitter with gold due to the use of mud adobe plaster flecked with straw and mica, a naturally-occurring element in surrounding land that gives Taos Pueblo pottery its distinctive characteristic appearance. Unexpected swirls of paint in bedrooms and bathrooms delight the eye, and a river stone shower/tub surrounded by plants make the bathroom feel like a garden. This home is not just livable art but pure fun to be inside but warm, inviting and nurtures the soul.
Staying in for the day? Depending on the weather, put your feet up and read a book on the bancos in the “conversation pit” next to a traditional wood-burning kiva fireplace; enjoy a glass of wine on the patio portal swing while listening to birds and soft chimes blowing in the breeze; or prepare a favorite meal on the grill and dine beneath an umbrella while taking in the magic of Taos Mountain.
Prefer to head out for a mountain or river excursion, or some local culture? Even if you don’t know what you want to do or see, you’ll find the home contains all the material you need to determine the best places to go for entertainment and dining to suit your every desire. On the return, no matter what the season, soothe tired muscles in the hot tub beneath a moonlit sky so clear you can see the Milky Way.
Finally, sleep like a baby on beds appointed with foam or pillow-top mattresses. Each of the bedrooms provides total privacy from the rest of the living areas, with their own full bathrooms that can be closed off from entry or pass-through by others in the home. Two have direct access to the outdoors.
Whether this is your first or 100th visit to Northern New Mexico, Adobe de Artista promises a stay like no other.

Guest Comments
"It truly has been a wonderful week here. The house has such a warm, welcoming feeling - it's immediately home. The sun through the South windows, the light streaming through the skylights - and the round window - all bring such great delight and beauty - everyday. The artwork, especially Ed's, is so enjoyable - then there are the ravens - inside and out - so intelligent - so bright eyed. And the songs of the coyotes - so much we take for granted only to be heard in the quiet of the night. Thank you for sharing this with us reminding us of all the wonders we take for granted on a daily basis."
Pati and Steve, Arizona "The planning that went into the design of this home, both from functional and aesthetic perspective, is obvious; it is as comfortable as it is charming. Washing dishes with a view of the mountains certainly makes the task easier. The sense of isolation while only a few miles from town made it the perfect setting for our 20th wedding anniversary. Great library! Shawn & Kathy, Texas "What a unique place! Staying here is so soothing. The delightful fragrance of sage penetrates the air inside and out. Showering in the master bath is a truly wonderful experience. The soft pillows and mattress topper make you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. We love the beauty and serenity. And it's a great place to photograph, with 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains." Janice & John, Georgia You have a lovely home! Angela, Miles & Nicole Great views. Beautiful adobe home. We had a wonderful stay at Adobe De Artista. The views were excellent and the house was beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the quiet and minimal traffic. We hope to be back. T. Menard, KS What a great time we had at this beautiful house! The fireplaces and views were wonderful. We enjoyed the peace and quiet that envelops this home, too! We hope to be back someday. Tim & Karina, Kansas What a wonderful retreat this has been. I enjoyed discovering all the artful touches in every nook and cranny – not overdone at all. So very comfortable – cozy but open and light. I have had a very peaceful, healing visit. My border collie, Eve, and I took long walks and enjoyed the scenery and serenity. I enjoyed every inch and moment here. Thank you so much! Jerri, Grand Junction, Colo. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in this heavenly place. It truly was a home away from home! The views are spectacular, and the comforts in every room made our stay. The fireplace in the evening and the hot tub are such a treat! We will request this home any time we come back to Taos! Thank you, Tammy and Jim from Chicago We had such a wonderful stay and wish we could stay longer, but we say this every time we come to Taos! The rock garden tub is amazing and has inspired us to do this at our home. The whole house is fantastic and the views are breathtaking; sometimes it doesn’t look real. We really needed a break, and this was the perfect place to do it. Taos is our favorite place and should be on everyone’s bucket list. We really hope to move to this area someday. Thank you so much for the use of your home. We will never forget it. Robin and Jeff, Valparaiso, Indiana Thank you so much for opening up your home to our family. We love Taos and all this place offers. We dream of the day where we can permanently move to this beautiful area! The Wicks Family, Fort Worth, Texas |
From the moment we turned the key, we found the very thing we were looking for: serenity. While we came to Taos to enjoy the galleries, the history and the food, we ultimately spent the majority of our weekend enjoying this beautiful home. The design of this house allowed us to take in the gorgeous mountains and mesa from every room. We especially enjoyed watching one of New Mexico’s famous monsoons roll over the purple mountains and across the prairie. Breathtaking views perfectly accented our tranquil stay. Thank you for sharing the stunning scenes and peaceful home with us. Matthew & Tamara, Albuquerque, N.M Great views. Beautiful adobe home. We had a wonderful stay at Adobe De Artista. The views were excellent and the house was beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the quiet and minimal traffic. We hope to be back. T. Menard, KS This stay was one of the highlights of our trip to the USA. The house is beautiful and the views – particularly the mountain framed by the round window are stunning. Also very well equipped which made cooking at home a pleasure. The hot tub was also lovely. A wonderful place for silence, sunset and stars. The décor was a delight. The Sanders, Brighton, England Awesome adobe cabin, feels remote but conveniently close to Taos. Awesome design and location, such a charming and comfortable house with a view that can't be beat. Far enough from neighbors and town to feel some solitude when sitting on the back patio (reading something from the great book collection), but close enough to conveniently get to Taos for supplies, groceries, or entertainment. Shawn R. Absolutely fabulous home away from home. This is probably the most wonderful place out of every vacation I've taken that I have stayed! It was peaceful, beautiful, yet conveniently located! When we go back to Taos this is the place that I will request again to stay hands-down! T. Fellish We absolutely loved our time at Adobe de Artista. Our Christmas gift to each other was a weekend away to just spend quality time together. We’re newlyweds, and thins have been incredibly hectic since the wedding/holidays. This trip was exactly what we needed – the calm and serenity worked their magic. The house was amazing. We loved everything about it! Can’t wait to come back next year. Doug and Kate This Adobe was a wonderful delight in a secluded and quiet area. Close to Taos but not in the middle of the action. I spent two of my four days here without going to town. A calming , peaceful retreat if you want to get away from it all. J. Hahanenberg |
