Welcome to casa del Sol, where you can step back in time and experience the history of Taos. Built in the 1970s by Michael Reynolds, the creator of Earthships and a pioneer in renewable construction, this home was constructed using recycled beer and soda cans. As you explore the house, you can still see the remains of these cans, giving you a unique glimpse into Taos' past. This multi-acre property offers plenty of privacy and space for you and your loved ones to relax and unwind. From the inviting outdoor patio with a propane grill to the lush, landscaped yard with a weeping willow tree, you'll find plenty of spots to lounge and soak in the beautiful surroundings. The location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with numerous skiing, hiking, rafting, and fishing options within a 20-minute drive. You'll also be just 15 minutes from the charming town of Taos and its renowned shops and galleries. At Casa del Sol, you'll have access to our team of local experts who are available anytime during your stay to ensure you have a truly unforgettable experience. We also offer concierge services, including private chefs, meal and grocery delivery, transportation, and more.

There is ample parking under the carport, in the garage and in front of the home on the wrap around driveway.

Traveling to and around Taos via vehicle is the best option for full exploration potential. Public transportation is EXTREMELY limited in our small town but there are still many amazing things close by to explore! There are very few Uber/etc. drivers in town, but we do have a few less common and unique options available. Please inquire ahead of time if you are looking for specific transportation needs to and from Taos and while here.

During winter months, AWD vehicles are recommended for the area. If you will be venturing into the mountains and Taos Ski Valley, 4WD or AWD is often required to access these areas.

Perfect Location
We had a very nice stay for our 18th annual ski trip. The location was perfect, about 1/2 way from Taos Ski Valley and Angel Fire. The house had plenty of room to spread out. Check in and check out was simple. Overall great stay.

A real home. Large and rambling with some history
We were in Taos for a family gathering for my dad’s memorial. The house is a home with history and comfort for a multigenerational group. Large and rambling and full of old Taos charm.

Our second visit and as lovely as the first
My siblings and I gathered to celebrate my father's birthday. The house easily accommodated the six of us, with room around the dining table for other friends. The living room is huge, and we loved sitting in the two courtyards with their mountain views. Perfect!

Great house near Arroyo Seco and Taos Ski
My family of four loved our stay at Casa del Sol. The house is large and very comfortable with great views. Note that there is a treacherous step-down sunken dining room with dark flooring between the entrance and kitchen and it is very easy to wipe out off the edge. It took a few days to get used to it but otherwise this was a great place.

Perfect for two families
This house is large and well equipped. The 8 of us (4 adults, 4 kids ages 7-11) could easily spread out and everyone had a great time. We cooked a few dinners in the kitchen and the kids spent time playing in the yard, even though it was covered in snow. We didn't roam from the property on foot, but it's in a nice neighborhood and close to everything. Great to just head up the road to skj, and a quick drive into town for dinner. The house had everything we needed and we were saying how lovely it would be in the warmer months with the patio and many screen doors to let the breeze in.

New Years Getaway
We spent 5 days over New Years here and loved the house. We had plenty of space to relax, play games, and enjoy quality family time. There were enough rooms/ beds for both our families that totaled 7. We enjoyed having 2 ovens to cook for everyone in. It was helpful using the garage and covered parking during the bad weather. Phil, the property manager, was extremely helpful and friendly for all our needs and questions.

Perfect for our needs
Lots of space and bedroom arrangements were great. The only thing a person should be aware of is there is a sunken dining room which if you have older folks or you are coming inside from daylight and are not familiar with the space you could trip...we caught it in time for the guests we were afraid of falling and it worked out fine from then on.

What a cool place
This is such a unique place to stay. The rooms are interesting and there are plenty of nooks to disappear to or places to get together. For directions, as stated in the check-in notice for VRBO (which we read poorly) follow the written directions and don’t try to Google map it. Tons of parking. The area is great. The sky was clear the night we arrived and you can see more stars than pretty much anywhere. The drive to town is quick and the drive up to Taos to ski is short enough (leave by 8 on weekends, especially powder days). We loved it and would definitely stay again.
