House in El Prado, New Mexico
OVERVIEW
Welcome to El Nido, a professionally designed three-bedroom retreat in peaceful El Prado, set between the town of Taos and Taos Ski Valley and about two miles from Arroyo Seco. Soak in the private hot tub under the high-desert sky, warm up by a kiva fireplace, and take in sweeping mountain views framed by nearly every window. With two king bedrooms, a queen bedroom, a full kitchen, and two outdoor areas, including a covered patio and open-air spaces made for lingering. El Nido is a relaxed, authentically Southwestern basecamp for skiing, hiking, galleries, and northern New Mexico adventures.
El Nido is an authentically Southwestern home in El Prado, just north of Taos and on the way to Taos Ski Valley. Warm adobe style, handcrafted details, and big mountain views give it a true northern New Mexico feel, and the covered portal and private hot tub make the outdoors part of every stay.
Inside, the open living and dining area centers on a kiva fireplace, with a full kitchen finished in talavera tile, a cozy sitting area and gallery wall, and a wet bar for gathering. Each window frames a different piece of the high-desert landscape and the mountains to the south.
