About Jessica

I am thrilled to be part of a fun loving family of eight. Our collective love of art, music, fresh air, travel and learning keeps our lives vivid and full of wonderful memories together. One season we are taking in the crisp autumns, snowy winters, breathtaking mountain vistas and eclectic history of Northern New Mexico. Next we are soaking up the warm sunshine, tropical breezes, luscious flavors and sacred spirit of the Hawaiian Islands. We are privileged to have found ourselves stewards of three remarkable properties in these magical locations. We have lovingly revived these homes, taking great care to honor the history and sacred space of each one. It is our pleasure to share with you, our gracious guest, these special places so dear to our heart. Welcome, and may your visit with us become part of your own collection of wonderful memories! Aloha!

Jessica purchased this estate in 2006
Why Jessica chose Taos

Our home has rich history of connecting the artists and cultures of the area. Bordered by sacred Taos Pueblo land, and overlooking the old morada, there is a sense of peace and tranquility yet we are close to everything in town.

What makes this estate unique

With four beautiful seasons, a spectacular view of Taos Mountain, and constantly changing light, The Schoolhouse Studio is the perfect place to be whether you are skiing, hiking, painting or reflecting.

Great place to Spend a Birthday

5 of 5
Submitted: November 28, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Never have been to Taos and found the Old School House on VRBO. Like a dream come true! It was just as I pictured Taos. Our accomodations were very cozy and quiet and staying anywhere else would have never been so memorable. I will always remember this trip as one of my favorites. I was celebrating my 60th birthday and The Schoolhouse was so perfect in everyway. I loved the view the furnishings the well equipped kitchen and cozy bed. The sun peaking in the adobe windows in the morning was delightful. The Old Schoolhouse is definitely enchanting and has a very special feeling within the grounds. The sunsets were amazing as you look out onto The Taos Pueblo sacred Indian land. We did not mind the bath house and in fact it became part of the charm. The bathhouse was well equipped and modern and had a wall heater for chilly mornings. My next trip to Taos I hope to stay again at The Old Schoolhouse secluded yet walking distance to town.

Perfect, Cozy Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: December 19, 2010 Stayed: November 2010
The School House casita was the perfect place to get away for a few days. The property's history is intriguing, and we quickly discovered why so many artists/writers gravitated to
it. It is very cozy and quiet and the surroundings offer the perfect backdrop for igniting creativity. We appreciated the attention to details in the casita and bath house, and the hot tub was perfect for
two. Our favorite ammenities were the gas fireplace, the outdoor swing, and the big yard for the dogs. Honey, the family dog, was very sweet as she often slept by our door. Overall, we
were quite impressed with the casita and didn't even mind having to go outside to the bath house. It, too, was very clean and comfortable. We highly recommend the School House casita
for anyone who wishes to be "in" Taos yet far enough away to appreciate some solitude and quiet. We are already planning our next trip!

Schoolhouse Studio charming and peaceful...

My husband and I recently staying in the Schoolhouse Studio, attached to the former home of Taos artist Victor Higgins and we found it to be perfectly charming and peaceful. The view right outside the window is the mystical Taos Mountain on sacred Pueblo Land. Right next door to the Mabel Dodge Luhan house, we felt surrounded by the history and charm that makes Taos so special. It was even exhilerating going out to the bathhouse at night under those beautiful bright stars. We would have missed it otherwise. We were warm and cozy with luxurious bed linens an a gas fire-place. It was delightful!

Perfect place to stay if you want an "authentic" setting. Beautiful, clean, quiet, comfortable, but best of all is that it's a real adobe mission nicely restored as a guest house. So close to the plaza, yet quiet. It made our visit to Taos even more fun to stay in such a cool, historic place!

What a lovely, serene retreat. Couldn't have picked a better homebase for our brief visit to Taos. Arrived in the middle of a snow squall and found this casita warm, charming, nicely appointed, and with a beautiful setting/views. Instant relaxation and comfort. Thanks!
