Old Taos Guesthouse Inn

Hidden away in a quiet residential neighborhood, this atmospheric treasure has spacious, old-world adobe rooms with undulating walls (just try to find a right angle) and hand-carved wood furnishings and doors; the older rooms are nicest. The shady lawn and gardens beckon, with inviting hammocks and 60-mile sunset views. Seasoned adventurers both, the proprietors can point you toward great excursions.
