Scrabble House Compound Private Hot Tub Evaporative Cooling Enclosed Yard

Upper Las Colonias, 8 min to town (4 miles), 20 min to ski valley (14 miles to Taos Ski Valley)

Scrabble House Compound - is a land mark Taos vacation rental home rental - offering a great dining / kitchen open floor plan. This room boasts a 10 foot long copper clad counter and breakfast bar where guests love to gather, visit with the cook and pitch in to chop veggies. Our gracious owner has provided ample cushy seating in the living room including a computer table and chairs for computer buffs. The 3 bedroom main house comes equipped with a 4th full guest bathroom for children and teens sleeping on the Hidde-a-Mat topped cots leaving the 3 King master bedrooms with total privacy. This means 3 bedrooms with "in-suite bathrooms" that do not have to be shared. The Compound also includes a 2 king bedroom Casita which sleeps 4 equipped with its own kitchen.

Located on 2 full acres, Scrabble House Compound offers wide open landscape with native desert sage and sweeping mountain views north, south, east and west. Situated on Ski Valley Road with an uninterrupted drive to Taos Ski Valley and a short 4 mile drive into town makes this "Taos lodging find" a popular choice for groups going in opposite directions for vacation fun (golfing, rafting, hiking, painting, skiing, dining, exploring, biking, fishing, researching or shopping). For your streaming pleasure enjoy the newly installed Fiber-Optics wi-fi.

For our Texas audience who believe summer lodging must include air conditioning - Scrabble House comes equipped with an "Evaporative Cooling" system - designed specifically to function in dry desert conditions. In addition, there are 3 ceiling fans and 4 large portable fans to insure cool conditions for our "very few" hot summer days.

There are a security cameras installed facing the driveway, on the front porch facing the road and on the roof facing the casita and its driveway.
