Alfred's Hacienda & Casita

Alfred's Hacienda & Casita

This vacation home features custom details crafted by the former owner -- archeologist and Taos icon Alfred Hobbs. Known as Alfred's Hacienda & Casita, these two adjacent historic rentals offer comfort, relaxation, and traditional New Mexico charm. Drive just a few miles to explore the shops and dining of downtown Taos. This walkable district has a number of interesting sites and charming adobe-style architecture. Famous for its ice cream and baked goods, Tao's Cow Cafe (one-minute drive) is sure to delight. For a fantastic wintery adventure, Taos Ski Valley is only 20 miles away.

Alfred's Hacienda has a modern kitchen, a hot tub, and kiva fireplaces, while the 100-year-old Casita has a gas-burning stove and fine wood detailing throughout. This single-story house sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms, each with a gas-burning kiva fireplace. In the living room, seating surrounds a gas-burning kiva fireplace, making this space ideal for watching a movie on the TV. The updated kitchen has a full suite of stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a butcher block island. The primary bedroom has a king bed, two armchairs, and a TV. The en-suite bathroom has a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a king bed and its own outdoor patio, while the third bedroom has a full-size sleeper sofa.

Meanwhile, Alfred's Casita sleeps two guests between the bedroom and a queen-size futon in the living area. The living room has a gas-burning stove and a TV. Enjoy meals in the kitchen, where a table seats you and your guests. The bedroom has a queen bed and a custom-made wood shelf. A bistro table and two chairs are nestled under the trees by the main entrance and a private patio outside the kitchen contain additional seating, giving you several options for lounging. The entire area is fenced, making the space very private.

The front porch has a table with seating overlooking the courtyard. The fenced backyard has desert landscaping, hornos (traditional ovens), a horseshoe station, and mountain views. Fire up the gas grill on the covered patio and dine alfresco at the picnic table or two iron tables with ample seating. Afterward, take an indulgent soak in the hot tub.
