About James Baldonado

As a designer and builder from California and eventually New Mexico permanently. I finally found a place where I could create and build the green type of structures that would compliment the beauty of the land. New mexico is so famous for allowing artisans to choose different materials and construction types.It just made sense to make this home.

James Baldonado purchased this house in 1996
Why James Baldonado chose Taos

After designing and building a home for my parents in El Salto. I got the chance to live in it. It didn't take long to know that this is the best land in Taos without a doubt. I then got my chance and was able to purchase a few acres in the same area a few years later and design and build this gorgeous home.

What makes this house unique

As I have said, El Salto is the best. The forest, the quiet, the deep snows in the winter and cool temps in the Summer make it so magical any time of year. Just ask any local about El Salto.

Enjoy!

Wonderful home in beautiful mountain setting. Tastefully appointed, with great interior, kitchen, and expansive views. My family had a relaxing and fun weekend, with a hike up the private waterfall trail and excursions to Arroyo Seco and the Rio Grande at John Dunn Bridge. We can't wait to return. And owner Jaime Baldonado is very accommodating, and an exception resource concerning the area and local activities. The hot tub is pretty nice too! Highly recommended.

Wonderful home base for exploring the Taos area!

Our family really enjoyed our week-long stay at Las Posadas El Salto. The home is off the beaten path a bit, which we preferred, yet it's close to the ski resort and a short drive into Taos. It's nestled among the pines near a quaint town of Arroyo Seco. Las Posadas is comfortable and homey with a touch of Southwest flair. There's beautiful art throughout the house which adds to the home's appeal. We loved the upper level master retreat and slept like a dream every night. We also enjoyed viewing the millions of stars from the hot tub every night. Thanks for sharing your home with our family of 7!

We've stayed in around ten VRBO rentals, each of which we thoroughly enjoyed, but Las Posadas El Salto is special. The house (including the kitchen) is really well equipped. The furniture and art are excellent. The area around the house is wild; several impressive hikes start close by. In general we found the Taos region to be as compelling--scenic, culturally rich, but low-key--as its reputation would suggest. Jamie was great to work with. Highly recommended.

Spring Break Getaway with kids!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 18, 2013
  • Stayed: Mar 2013
We arrived on a Sunday evening, driving from Arroyo Seco from Aubrey TX. It took us about 11-12 hours with a few stops for food and potty breaks along the way. We received updates from Jaime regarding road conditions, information about best grocery stores/ restaurants, site seeing, etc. We spend first day at cabin/house, relaxing, and even took a stroll around property. It is such a beautiful area, you are up close and personal with nature, at it's best! The house has a wonderful balcony, hot tub, modern design with lots of cool art work, fully stocked, and plenty of room! DAy two, we took kids to ski school, and my husband and I had whole day to ourselves to ski at Toas ski valley. It was great for us. However, it was spring break, and it was a bit over crowded on the mountain and at ski school. Our kids did not get alot of one on one time, didnt get to learn how to get on off lift, or how to wedge. That was a little disappointing, but knowing our kids (age 9 and 3), we were just happy they made it through the whole day. :) Our second day of skiing (we took two days off in between) we decided to just work with boys our self, instead of paying for another round of ski school. Other days we enjoyed ice skating, walking around town, seeing rio grand gorge bridge )-- spectacular!!, attempting to see water fall near property-- we didnt make it too far with kiddos. We also went tubing one afternoon at toas ski valley. We literally did something different each day, and enjoyed every minute! We would love to come back with boys are a little older, perhaps in summer time to go hiking, rafting, or take another stab at teaching them to ski in the future. Toas is so much closer to north Texas than Colorado skiing, and it was just as fun! Also, we had some friends stay in toas same week as us, they were in hotel in main part of town. They didnt seem to enjoy their stay as much as we did. When we come back, we will def book at Los Posadas again! Thanks Jamie!

Nestled in the woods on a private road is the ideal get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It can be enjoyed by all age groups. Our group ranged from 25 to 88 years old. Las Posadas El Satto provides a comfortable yet fun home for all to enjoy. Large windows provide beautiful views of the mountains and forest surrounding this property. The kitchen is well equiped with everything imaginable along with all the other modern convieniences that make this cozy custom built home perfect for a relaxing retreat. The hot tub is located off the deck in a quite, secinic, yet secluded area that makes for a private relaxing getaway especially after a day of skiing. For those who can't quite pull themselves away from work this home provides a large desk upstairs that is equipped with a computer, printer and a large area to work. Wireless internet can be accessed throughout the home. .We loved and enjoyed everything about this uniqueally decorated comfortable home. We enjoyed getting to know Jamie, the owner/manager. He is very helpful and available to answer questions or do whatever is necessary to make the stay very pleasant. We will be back and hopefully soon.
