Expolore Taos this summer! Chic duplex studio with sweeping desert views and WiFi

Tranquility and relaxation await you at Mesa Vista Studio, a classic Adobe-style duplex studio situated on sprawling, zero-scaped grounds with 360-degree desert and mountain views. Restaurants, parks, museums and galleries lie just 10 minutes away in the lively town of Taos, and the slopes of Taos Ski Valley are accessible in less than 30 minutes.

Tastefully decorated in a modern style, this studio home boasts serene spaces inside and out. The private patio features expansive views of Taos, and the full view glass door off the living and dining area opens onto a lovely patio overlooking miles of rolling sagebrush landscape. Savor your morning coffee while taking in spectacular panoramas. An outdoor gas fire pit sets the scene for cozy evenings with a glass of wine. And a gas grill allows you to enjoy a home cooked meal with the best views in Taos.

Inside, high wood-beamed ceilings and full-length picture windows allow brilliant light to flow into the dining and living room areas, while a wood fireplace and Pueblo-inspired artwork add warmth and charm. Take in expansive views from the living room’s cozy sectional sofa or one of two stylish mid-century accent chairs, or relax with the comforts of a streaming TV. A four-seat dining table lies adjacent to the gourmet kitchen, which features stone counter-tops and full size appliances.

Ideal for a couple’s retreat or family with one or two children, this studio comfortably sleeps up to two guests between a queen-sized bed, offering spectacular views of Taos Valley, and a full sleeper sofa. A modern, bathroom features a shower-over-bath, barn door and vessel sink.

With a chic, modern vibe and sweeping desert views, Mesa Vista Studio is an ideal retreat for guests looking to reconnect with nature. Make it your home base for skiing, hiking, rafting and exploring the area’s natural beauty, or simply your hideaway for relaxation and rejuvenation. Taking advantage of on-site parking, you can easily access Taos Ski Valley in less than half an hour, and the charming town of Taos in about 10 minutes.

Please be advised that this home does not have air conditioning.

AC and Maps need updated
The studio is very nice. The address didn’t take us to that specific property. Apple Maps has it located a little ways away on that road. The AC Unit didn’t cool very well, I would recommend getting a newer unit for summer rentals.

Perfect little getaway!
Everything was so simple, intentional, beautiful, clean, and cozy! We needed a little weekend getaway with some solitude and nature and this spot hit the brief perfectly. The view is amazing, we loved all the windows. Everything we needed was there plus some additions for creature comforts. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect quiet spot
Perfect spot for me (quiet, older solo straight male traveler), Original adobe structure with brick floors and custom doors and windows. Lots of windows for beautiful views. Private enough that I never felt the need to close the blinds so theviews were always unobstructed. Mountains, mess, sun rising and setting, moon rising over the mountains and lighting up the interior like daytime. Such a great place, beauty all around.

Nice Property
I enjoyed it here. I think the description and other reviews give a very accurate description. Liked the space and windows. Kitchen area is very good. Faucets in the shower were a bit tricky to get the right temperature. I will look at this property again the next time.

Taos in October
Nice little casita in a beautiful, quiet setting. We enjoyed it very much. Just a note: there is no fireplace, it is a wood stove. Also there is no dishwasher but that wasn't a problem for us.

Just Wonderful
When we arrived at the studio, it was all set up with the lights on, and fans on. Plenty of bathroom tissue paper, laundry soap, towels and very stocked kitchen for cooking. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and didn’t want to leave the bed first thing in the morning because of the beautiful views!! Very close to downtown Taos. Nice selection of small coffee shops in El Prado. Farmhouse cafe for breakfast was outstanding as well as Elevation coffee shop. The drive to Taos ski resort was breathtaking and we enjoyed just sitting up at the resort taking in the views. The studio is a wonderful place to stay for a smaller group and the management company Is very good to work with them - very accommodating.

Amazing vistas!
This place was wonderful! When we were in NM, we stayed in Taos, Santa Fe and Albuquerque. This by far was our favorite! Looking out from the bed over the amazing views - glorious! A complete wall of glass doors and windows (with blinds) provided a wonderful morning view. Having coffee in the gazebo was wonderful as well. I would highly recommend staying here and enjoying the town of Taos. My only complaint was arriving at night was a little difficult with limited lighting.

Wonderful stay and a few minor suggestions.
Some great amenities include cast iron teapot and well equipped kitchen. Great stay in an incredible location. Suggestions: Curtain rod in bedroom and window hardware need attention. Also, bathroom could use a window covering.

Quiet and Relaxing
This studio-style lodging is great for couples. Everything you need is on hand - including a washer and dryer, which was appreciated and helped us pack light. One note: There is no A/C, so on sunny days when the temp gets in the upper 70s or higher, the house gets really warm. It cools down quickly at sunset, but it's best to plan to be outside or elsewhere during hot afternoons.

What a wonderful stay we had in Taos. The downtown area is a short drive away and we were able to get north into the mountains so easily! This place is our favorite part of our honeymoon: eclectic, cozy, close to CID’s for refuels and what a STUNNING view!!

Wonderful, peaceful and simple retreat
This was a lovely property nestled in a neighborhood on the mesa outside of Taos. The studio was more than spacious enough but was simple and cozy at the same time. Wonderful space to watch the stars and night and the sunrise and sunset. The host included many thoughtful details. I would stay here again happily. Good value.

Short getaway..
Our 4 day get away was so relaxing and couldn’t ask for better weather . The mornings were cool and slightly cloudy which made for great stills and hikes . We walked the plaza square and enjoyed delectable meals at Siam Sushi, outback pizza and 5 star burgers . Of course you can’t go to Taos without eating at least once at Michael’s kitchen .. Taos did not disappoint even if it was a short vacation . 😊

Beautiful Views!
Our stay here was lovely. Very sweet, comfortable place and of course, the views were extraordinary. Got to see an incredible lightening storm over the mountains one night, and buckets and buckets of stars every night in a dark sky. Conveniently located to good food, Taos downtown, everything was great. Kim the property manager was very attentive to any issues. We loved it, and we'll definitely be back!
