About this house rental
At the foot of the Truchas Peaks and on the high road to Taos, lies the village of Truchas. Our mountain home is located about 2 miles from the village at the end of a county road and has been in our family for 25 years. A portion of the home is adobe and was constructed in the early 1900's.
In 2000, the home was renovated and remodeled with room additions. The location is very private and quiet. There is a full kitchen, wifi, two internet tv's, washer and dryer and a bbq grill. On chilly evenings and early mornings, there is a kiva fireplace to add to the ambience of your stay. The Village was founded in the year 1754. There are many decendents of the original families who live here, farm the land, raise cattle and horses and are stewards of this land. There are also many artisans who live and work in the village. Santa Fe, Taos and Los Alamos are all approximately one hour drive from here.
Enjoy snow skiing at Sipapu, Santa Fe Ski and Taos Ski Valley, all about one and one-half hour distance. Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs is also one hour away. Relax and unwind in this peaceful setting. Breathe in the clean mountain air, see the stars at night and enjoy all of the beauty that surrounds you.
Please be reminded, one of our policies is "No Pets Allowed".
This older adobe home is located in a very remote area of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range at 8000 elevation. We encounter field mice, rats, moles, chipmunks, squirrels, skunk, raccoons, bobcat, coyote, deer and elk, mountain lion and bears. We have seen all of these animals near and around our homes. We do contract with a local pest control company to help us mitigate the rodents and they conduct monthly checkups and bait the exterior and interior boxes.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
This is a unique, adobe-style home with amazing southwest decor and history. The home is well-stocked, and the mountain location is beautiful and secluded. As such, definitely plan on first arriving during daylight. Roads are winding, at times narrow, and may have little cell reception until you get to the town. I would rate the home as satisfactory or surface-level clean (kitchen, sheets, and toilet were perfectly clean). As it's in a rural setting, there was evidence the hosts are continuing to work on controlling pests.

The place is beautiful. If you have problems with mobility I would not recommend this place. It is an old beautiful home with so much Character. The host Vicki was quick to address the Wi-Fi problem as quickly as possible. I was able to get on my work meeting after she added the mobile device. I give this place a 3 for cleanliness as there are areas that need to be tended to" plants, floors and carpet. Overall, it was a beautiful place in the mountains. Just be prepared for a long drive to reach a place that is remote and beautiful. We loved the Kiva fireplace and the wood that was available. We also loved the porches on both sides. Michele

This place was amazing. We would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to escape for a romantic get away. It was private, quiet and absolutely beautiful inside and out. The master bed was super cozy and warm. The decor was museum like and we never tired of looking at the many very pretty and cool items throughout. We would very much like to return one day. Thank you Vicki.
