Dobson House sits on a hill at 7000
feet overlooking the Rio Grande Gorge, 13 miles north of Taos. From the circular
common room you can see the beautiful sage desert and mountains of northern New
Mexico in all directions.
We offer luxurious
accommodations and superb food. You can sit and look at the
mountains in all directions. Or you can hike, bike, fish, raft, ski, climb,
visit the Taos Pueblo, take a llama trek, ride the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad,
explore Bandelier National Monument or walk around Taos Plaza which is 13 miles
south of us.
The house is a 6,000 square foot solar adobe with natural adobe walls and stone
floors. It is furnished in a comfortable southwestern style, and features the
owners' contemporary art collection. Breakfast is served overlooking the gorge
in the 1600 square foot common room, which is circular and surrounded by glass.
Guests are welcome anytime in the common room - it's great for bird watching or
just looking at the mountains. There's even a baby grand you are welcome to
play.
From the common room, you can see the Jemez Caldera above Los Alamos, San
Antonio Mountain (the largest free standing mountain in the US), Ute Mountain
(on the Colorado border), about 50 miles of the Sangre de Cristo Range just to
the east, and a few miles of the Rio Grande Gorge north of Taos. You can walk to
the gorge and down the old stagecoach trail to Manby Hot Springs on the river.
Dobson House has two suites, spacious (500 square foot) for two but able to
accommodate four. Each suite has separate
sleeping and sitting areas, a bathroom with tiled shower, and a self-contained
stove for extra warmth on cold winter nights. All cotton linens, down comforters
and pillows pamper our guests. Synthetics are available for those with
allergies.
Guests enjoy complimentary beverages and appetizers, for example focaccia with goat cheese and pesto, while watching the amazing sunsets of
northern New Mexico.
