This vacation home features custom details crafted by the former owner -- archeologist and Taos icon Alfred Hobbs. Known as Alfred's Hacienda & Casita, these two adjacent historic rentals offer comfort, relaxation, and traditional New Mexico charm. Drive just a few miles to explore the shops and dining of downtown Taos. This walkable district has a number of interesting sites and charming adobe-style architecture. Famous for its ice cream and baked goods, Tao's Cow Cafe (one-minute drive) is sure to delight. For a fantastic wintery adventure, Taos Ski Valley is only 20 miles away.

Alfred's Hacienda has a modern kitchen, a hot tub, and kiva fireplaces, while the 100-year-old Casita has a gas-burning stove and fine wood detailing throughout. This single-story house sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms, each with a gas-burning kiva fireplace. In the living room, seating surrounds a gas-burning kiva fireplace, making this space ideal for watching a movie on the TV. The updated kitchen has a full suite of stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a butcher block island. The primary bedroom has a king bed, two armchairs, and a TV. The en-suite bathroom has a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a king bed and its own outdoor patio, while the third bedroom has a full-size sleeper sofa.

Meanwhile, Alfred's Casita sleeps two guests between the bedroom and a queen-size futon in the living area. The living room has a gas-burning stove and a TV. Enjoy meals in the kitchen, where a table seats you and your guests. The bedroom has a queen bed and a custom-made wood shelf. A bistro table and two chairs are nestled under the trees by the main entrance and a private patio outside the kitchen contain additional seating, giving you several options for lounging. The entire area is fenced, making the space very private.

The front porch has a table with seating overlooking the courtyard. The fenced backyard has desert landscaping, hornos (traditional ovens), a horseshoe station, and mountain views. Fire up the gas grill on the covered patio and dine alfresco at the picnic table or two iron tables with ample seating. Afterward, take an indulgent soak in the hot tub.

We had complications with communicating our needs. We communicated with Vacasa. Their respond was timely however, the only thing they could tell us was that our needs were reported to their local team. We were never contacted by the local team. When we entered the premise, we reported the following issues: leak found in one of the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen unclean, refrigerator not working, entrances were cluttered with dirt and debris, spiderwebs in doorway and light fixtures. We cleaned and vacuumed rugs and mopped bathroom & kitchen floors in order to use them. Main house and casita were pretty dusty. We had to do a lot of cleaning. We reported squirrels living in the house primarily in kitchen. We tried to run them out of the house but they hid under refrigerator, dish washer and stove. We communicated with Vacasa several times and the best they could say was they were sending messages to local team. We forgot one suvenior and we have received the same communication. We have not heard the status regarding as to how we can get our package we left behind. Anything Vrbo can do to help with this will be greatly appreicated. We have booked stay away homes all over the country through Vrbo and Airbnb and we have never had such an issue. We will not be recommending a stay at Alfredo's Hacienda in Taos, NM to family or friends. We tried not to stay in the house but to sleep. It would have been a more comfortable stay if someone had come to address our concerns.

The charm of this home is perfect for the surroundings and very close to town and square. Ski Valley about 30 minutes away and is a great ski town.

We stayed here for 3 nights with 2 families, kids, and dogs. There was plenty of space for everyone. The fenced-im yard was large and perfect for dogs and kids. The house and Casita provided space for both families to be together but also have separate spaces to retreat to. The house is decorated beautifully and ha a nice large table for gaming and eating. The outdoor area feels like a party and even had a statue that was in the works - we enjoyed pondering what it might turn into. We will definitely be back!

We found a wedding band on the groud outside the garage. We put it in the tin box in the little area above the bench in the hallway facing the front door. We had a great time! The coffee maker was really slow, but the beds were incredibly comfortable. We would stay there again!
