The Birdhouse
This restored 1925 villa features classic adobe design, genuine plaster walls and vigas ceilings, and three porches, all with spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. The interior is bright and happy, illuminated by lots of natural light flooding in through large windows with beautiful views of the natural New Mexican landscape that surrounds the home. You’ll love watching your favorite movies and shows on the flatscreen cable TV while warming yourself next to a hot fire in the fireplace on those frosty winter nights. And summer guests can enjoy al fresco meals outside on the patio table. Speaking of meals, the full kitchen is open and, well, gorgeous! Lovely cookware hangs from a pot and pan rack suspended over ample counter space, sure to inspire even the most demanding chefs. This home also features individual room heaters and plenty of sleeping accommodations for up to four guests, plus 1,360-square-feet of living space, so everyone will have plenty of elbow room and privacy during their stay. Late afternoon winds from approaching summer storms blow at the home’s chimes creating soothing sounds and the temperature may drop making for a lovely, cool evening on one of the three porches. Not to mention, magpies, ravens, and hummingbirds abound in the area to accompany you during your stay.
WHAT’S NEARBY
This area still retains its past agricultural and more rural charm. Yet, it is only a two mile walk to Taos Plaza and John Dunn Shops where you will find unique boutiques, creative art, restaurants for dining, and a Farmers Market on Saturdays in the summer for purchasing meat, fish, and veggies for grilling at The Birdhouse. Naturally, there are lots of outdoor activities to take advantage of right next door such as snowshoeing, mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, and whitewater rafting. Shoppers will love visiting Taos Plaza, just two miles north, to find unique boutiques, eateries, and works by local artisans to enjoy. Taos Ski Valley is 40-minutes northeast with amazing ski slopes to shred with friends. You’ll also be just over 10 miles from Taos Regional Airport.

About the area
Taos, New Mexico, is a truly captivating destination that offers a unique blend of natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. Nestled in the high desert of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos is renowned for its awe-inspiring landscapes that beckon adventure. The area's natural attractions include the Rio Grande Gorge, perfect for hiking or rafting amidst breathtaking scenery, and Wheeler Peak, the highest point in New Mexico that's ideal for hiking and skiing.
The town's historic adobe buildings are a testament to its rich cultural heritage. The Taos Pueblo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Historic Landmark. It has been continuously inhabited by Tiwa-speaking Native Americans for over a thousand years making it one of the oldest communities in the United States. However, it's worth noting that there are other Native American pueblos in the Southwest such as Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico and Hopi villages in Arizona which are considered even older.

Visitors can explore Spanish colonial history at the San Francisco de Asis Mission Church which was built in the early 1800s making it around 150-175 years old rather than 200 years old as previously mentioned. Additionally, local cultures can be explored at museums like the Millicent Rogers Museum or Harwood Museum of Art.
