Photos and Description of the Taos vacation house rental
3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Bathrooms, Sleeps 6

Nestled on a quiet tranquil tree lined street off of Kit Carson Road, Simpson House awaits you. The territorial style house sits behind a totally enclosed fence featuring an antique gate from India. Our well appointed and uniquely decorated home is your oasis in town yet just a walk around the corner to El Monte Sagrado Resort and a short stroll to the Plaza with Galleries and shopping along the way. All new high end furnishings are yours to enjoy. Custom details include architectural elements from around the globe, plaster walls, aspen ceilings, hardwood floors, quality art & rugs and premium bedding. Truly a four star experience, the down pillows, luxury linens, robes and custom toiletries will enhance your Taos experience. Relax on the covered front porch, grill and dine on the Patio ,and later soak in the the Spa on the deck.

The Taos night sky is indeed amazing! This romantic getaway features a wood burning fireplace, central heat and air conditioning and a well equipped gourmet kitchen. We love to travel in comfort and style and know you will appreciate this cozy retreat...

Why the Owner Chose Taos: We fell in love with the location of this property. The elms and cottonwoods tower over this little dead-end street that is just off of Kit Carson Road. It is quiet and the end of the street is actually all Pueblo Land up to the base of the sacred mountain. You can here the coyotes there at night. It is also convenient to El Monte Sagrado's famous Anaconda Bar and a short walk to the Plaza

The Unique Benefits of this House: We love morning and evening on the front porch watching the magpies that live in a tree about 50 feet away. We like the view of the mountain from the patio where we dine in the summer. In the winter we like the fireplace and the smell of pinon pine in the air. Most nights we are there, we soak in the spa with a night-cap and enjoy the marvelous night sky in Taos

Great Easter weekend

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 4, 2013
  • Stayed: Mar 2013
The first thing my husband and I said when entering the house was that the online photos don't do it justice! You instantly feel the warmth and charm of the house in the entry and it carries throughout the rest of the house. Very well appointed from the kitchen, baths, and books/DVDs, etc. We didn't have nearly enough time to enjoy all that was available, especially the nice patio areas which would be great for a BBQ or soak in the hot tub. Location was great - quick walk to the plaza, short drive to Taos Pueblo, and easy drive to the ski valley. We were just one family staying this time (two kids under 5 and our dog) and the size was perfect. We could also see how the layout is great for two couples - living space in between with two bedrooms on either side. Lance was very quick to respond and very available to help as needed. Would highly recommend when in the Taos area!

Anniversary Celebration

We have used VRBO listings in the past and this one proved to be another excellent choice. The communications with the owner were timely and helpful. They went out of their way to give us tips on where to eat and what to see. The setting of the house was charming. We quickly felt right at home. The bedding was excellent, providing us with a comfortable sleep. We can recommend it highly to those who want comfort and many extra amenities. Our anniversary dinner at Grahams was also top of the line. Excellent service. They offer an excellent menu, and wine list. The Gorge was another restaurant we highly recommend and we enjoyed the tour trolley visits to the Hacienda and the M. Rogers museum.

New Taos favorite - charming decor, gorgeous artwork, and great outdoor space!

My sister and I have been visiting Taos for 12 years now. We've stayed in several vacation houses over the years, with both big and small groups. The Simpson House is by far our favorite and I highly recommend it for 2 couples or a group of 4-6. It seems larger than it is, and the two bedrooms are on either side of the house, offering great privacy. It's well designed and gorgeously decorated. We couldn't get over the interior parlor room doors, the bathroom sinks, and the artwork all around - there are such great whimsical touches throughout!

We were blessed to have the Simpson House be a part of something extra special on this trip as my boyfriend and I got engaged on our drive up to meet my sister at the house! My now fiance surprised me when we stopped to take in the view at the County Line Gorge turnoff along the river south of Taos. It was so special, and a gorgeous day to boot! He proposed with his grandmother's engagement ring, over 70 years old, symbolizing the 50-year-long happy marriage his grandparents had. It was very romantic, and the Simpson House was the perfect sanctuary to celebrate!

After we got over the initial celebration with my sister when we arrived at the house, we had dinner at the El Monte Sagrado Resort. The house is in walking distance of the plaza, which is very important to us, and so we were able to enjoy daily walks into town for shopping, eating, and more celebrating.
This was my fiance's first trip to Taos, and he loved it too, so I know we will be back for more! I'm sure an anniversary trip to Simpson House is in our future...

Thanks to Lance for being an attentive owner, from reservation through departure, and to Andy, for being an accommodating caretaker!

Owner's Response: Wow! This is what the warm fuzzies are all about! I'm so delighted that people enjoy our house. It makes all the hard work and effort do worthwhile. Thanks so much! Lance and Holly

Spring Break Ski Trip

Loved the house and the location! Walked to the Plaza twice for delicious dinners, and relaxed in the hot tub after a day of skiing. The house is fully equipped which makes you feel right at home. A quick stop by the grocery store for some extra snacks is all you need. Beautiful decor, and peaceful surroundings. We had a great time!
