Artist Retreat 3 Walk to Plaza Enclosed Yard Hot Tub

This Property Currently has a 30 Night Minimum (no exceptions)

Taos, NM - former gallery & home of R. C. Gorman, renowned Taos artist. Walk to Plaza 1/2 block and restaurants, shops, entertainment, easy open road 18 miles to Taos Ski Valley

Historic Ledoux Street is considered the 'dream location' for living and vacation lodging in Taos, NM. Artist Retreat which was once owned by the late world renowned artist / painter R.C. Gorman, makes lodging there ever more special. This popular sought after 'strolling street' is surrounded by artist's homes, studios / galleries and is an easy walk, from start to finish, being only one block long.

The fully enclosed front yard is lovely for Al Fresca dining, lounging, outdoor summer living and year round hot tub relaxing. Buffered by tall coyote fencing (traditional Santa Fe / Taos style Aspen limb fencing) this lodging treasure assures guests privacy from slow moving cars on the popular one way, one lane Ledoux Street.

Furnished with upscale bedding, mattresses and furnishings, guests enjoy an interesting blend of traditional southwest and contemporary décor.

With a 2 minute walk, guests will find themselves on the Taos Village Plaza and famous Bent Street, both with shops and eateries. Right around the corner, hardly leaving Ledoux Street, are two very popular restaurants with locals and returning guests: The Byzantium and Stella's Italian Restaurant.

The famous Harwood Museum is an easy stroll to the west end of Ledoux street. In addition to housing a major collection of original art from the 7 founding members of the Taos Art Colony back in the 20's, the Harwood also offers classes, lectures and musical presentations of all varieties.

The remaining portion of Gorman's retreat remains a gallery featuring his work A kissing cousin, Inger Jirby Gallery, is directly across the narrow 1 lane, 1 way street. An authentic restored historic adobe, Artist's Retreat offers peaceful quiet Taos lodging within minutes of walking to the Taos plaza, the picturesque John Dunn Plaza shops and famous Bent Street with shops and eateries leading to the famous Taos Inn and Doc Martin's for evening entertainment or daytime front patio social gathering (a local's favorite).

The lovely enclosed courtyard, laced with jumbo pots of flowers, is a true summer time treat and the newly installed enclosed private Hot Tub is available for year round pleasure.

Guests choosing to lodge at Artist's Retreat enjoy the full fledged "Old Taos" living experience, incomparable to any other, but with modern day upgraded facilities on the most sought after street in village of Taos, New Mexico.

The home is in a great location, cozy, warm, clean, well furnished kitchen, private courtyard, outdoor seating, hot tub, & keyless entry. The home is on a nice, quiet street, a block from the plaza, near restaurants, shops, coffee, chocolate, & other necessities.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well this place was just about perfect. We were two couples visiting Taos for a long weekend and we're so glad we found this house. It was bigger than we needed, but nice to have the extra room; very clean, including the hot tub; and the kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses, cookware, etc. Plus, it was great to be just a short walk from the plaza. I would definitely stay here again if we return to Taos, and highly recommend it for small groups or families looking for a nice getaway location.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Walked to everything we wanted in Taos Proper. 4 guys on ski trip. You do have to walk through 1 bedroom to access 3rd bedroom. Great adorable small property for us. Tight parking. This management company and owner will access the property unannounced while you are away under the guise of "Oh... we had the wrong dates of your departure."

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed 6/15-7/14.Location was excellent, 2 minute walk to the plaza, and could not have been more convenient.Cute little adobe house, very well stocked w all essentials...linens, towels, kitchenware, etc.Cherry Montano, our liaison was very helpful, when it came w any issues.Two issues, one minor, one major that we felt might/ could/should be addressed....The iinside is very dark, lighting wise, and many of the bulbs were of such low wattage, that even when turned on, and w shades open, home was still not bright.Might want to consider addressing that.On arrival, the house, it appeared had been cleaned, but only in the most superficial manner.Dust, dust balls, etc, pretty much under and around ‘everything’ in the house.Looked liked someone spent 10 minutes wiping down the tops whatever was most immediately visible, as opposed to an hour or two actually cleaning the house.To be clear, I’m not looking for white glove service.....just clean the **** place.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My housekeeper spent 18 hours deep cleaning the house. We both took pictures of the condition of the house.Only one bedroom meets the NM building code requirements. The other two rooms lack closets and one of them is a walk through to the third room. The furniture is in poor shape, one chair so wobbly we would not dare to use it. One of the armchairs has a hole on the seat that was hidden under a throw. The kitchen sink had a leak that must have been there for a while since there is water damage in the cabinet. BTW, that cabinet door does not close. The spray wand did not work. It took a week to get that taken care of.My advise to fellow travelers: do NOT rent this property.

Being close to the Plaza meant we can just walk there without even getting in our car. This property has all the cooking items you will need to enjoy a nice meal staying "home".

My friend and I found the Artist retreat very thoughtfully equipped in both kitchen and bathrooms - I've owned a VRBO in the pt and really appreciate the extra touches. The person who cleans was very accommodating when one of the skylight shades fell ... Quick to remedy and pleasant to take to. We will return !!!

Gorman made it special. The rooms are a bit smaller than some homes ibut there are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms allowing for plenty of privacy.

The closeness to the Plaza and the size of the house was perfect! We had 5 adults and 3 kids and still had privacy. The patio area was good for the kids to play in as well as a quite retreat for me to read! We have always loved the places we've stayed with Premiere Properties, and this one did not disappoint either!

Solu, the caretaker is very welcoming and easy to reach. The location is perfect for walking to the square and for walking to restaurants as well. Our family loved staying here. My only suggestion is one more comfortable chair would be great for the living room and a tea kettle for the kitchen.

Only minor correction would be to make sure people know that there are two hollywood twin beds in one room and basically one bath for two bedrooms requires a family rather than three couples.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent Christmas 2014 at the RC Gorman House and had a great experience. Everything we needed to prepare Christmas dinner with the Smith's grocery just down the road. It was very clean and well maintained. The snow was shoveled for us (bonus for the youngest since we'd tagged him for the job) and everything was in good working order. In the heart of Taos and easy to get in and out. We actually backed the car in the drive as we found this was easier than backing out of the drive. You'll know what I mean when you see the house. Would definitely stay at this house again in the future.

10/10

Great home, so close to the Plaza and World Cup coffee. Easy to walk to all shops, galleries and restaurants in the historic district of Taos. House was furnished in great Southwest style. Beds were comfortable. Only issue is that the bed rooms are very dark. the wall sconces emit very little light and bedside lamps are not very bright either. Also this house appears to be able to be split up into 3 different rental units, so there are extra doors in the hallways that kind of got in the way.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group of 4 had a lovely experience in this cozy (great electric fireplace) home on a quiet one-way street near the Taos Plaza (2 blocks away). We loved the focus on art in the house (if you like RC Gorman's art - apparently he lived in this house at some point), the beautiful kitchen, bedrooms, new bathrooms and garden/yard and hot tub. The housekeeper Linda was most helpful with advice on local restaurants and super responsive in our text communication. Highly recommend!
