Big comfy house

Really well appointed place! Had everything we needed and all beds (including the sofa beds) were so comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay there, the views, the hot tub, the amount of space. Convenient location too because we could get to Taos or nature in like 10 mins. Would stay again!

Mountain Oasis

We really enjoyed our stay at this peaceful mountain getaway, the house was perfect for my family's stay. We loved the large windows, detailed decor, luxurious beds and outdoor hot tub. There was plenty of parking for our two cars, plus use of the garage attached to the house. It is a quick drive into Taos center and Cid's (the great little grocery store). We found ourselves wishing we had booked a few more nights!

Absolutely Perfect!

The house was even better than we expected. The owner provided detailed instructions for check-in. The house was well-appointed and extremely comfortable. We have stayed in the Taos area many times for our family ski vacations, and this was the best house by far. Convenient to the ski area and town. Possibly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in also! We hope to come back for many future years.

Girls trip

Our group of 4 high school friends enjoyed a 4 day, 3 night stay at this beautiful property. The home was perfect, with large rooms and comfortable beds. The kitchen was fully furnished, including lots of ice from the ice maker. The Taos suggestions were quite helpful.in early September there were flowers blooming everywhere, and the landscaping was green. I could see stars from the bed, and the quiet was delightful. All of us would not hesitate to stay at Blue Adobe again. Thanks Thom and Thao.

First time in Taos

My husband and I were celebrating our May 30th anniversary and part of our stay was in Taos. So glad we selected Thom’s property. It provided us ample room, beautiful fireplaces to enjoy in the evening and a hot tub with great views which we enjoyed at the end of our long days. Quiet, peaceful environment.

Great place

We had a very nice stay for our ski vacation. The house was great, with well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, cozy living room, and clean bathrooms. We especially loved the fireplace and hot tub. The night sky is spectacular, so many stars! The location was perfect for us, 20 minutes one way to nice restaurants in Taos, 20 minutes the other way to the ski resort. I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic spot!

We loved this house. It fit our family of 4 (two kids age range 4-9), in-laws, and sister-in-law comfortably. The place is very homey in a way that doesn't feel too personal, but is also well done. Nice art and touches with posters from Santa Fe Music Festival and others. We were all commenting that we could live there, which says a lot because we're generally homebodies.

Restful Stay with Beautiful Views

Thank you for sharing the lovely El Prado home. We enjoyed the views, breakfast and evening on the patio and relaxing in your lovely home. The house was well stocked with quality products, comfortable beds and plenty of fans to keep us cool in the August heat of Taos. Everything was just right. We will see you again!

Fabulous Blue Adobe Getaway

The house was more than we expected! The architecture is amazing and the location was perfect for us. There are three patios which are all a little different from each others but all amazing spaces. Many flowers in bloom! We did not want to leave when the time came. Really had an awesome time ❤️

Beautiful house in the perfect location

This house is beautifully crafted and arranged for shared time on vacation, with a kitchen that allowed for home-cooked meals together. It is situated in an excellent location between the ski mountain and town of Taos, both of which are favorites for us.
