    ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED 6 MONTH RENTAL, November 12, 2025 - May 12, 2026. Luxury home, Fully Furnished, 6' Wooden Hot Tub, Gourmet Kitchen, with spectacular views - for the perfect ski getaway. Live or video tour available, by appointment only (with prior phone interview). Located 2 miles above the village of Arroyo Seco, halfway between the town of Taos, and Taos Ski Valley - 20 minutes drive either way. This unique property may be your ideal getaway. However, if you feel the compulsion to redecorate, or can't handle the climate, or altitude, or maintain the hot tub, it may not be for you. Our home is a contemporary Pueblo Style Alpine Chalet with SPECTACULAR VIEWS, fully furnished with modern art & appliances, Radiant Floor Heat, outdoor Hot Tub, gas BBQ under cover, and even an electric start snow blower. The home was Designed & Built by an award winning Architect/Owner. It sleeps 6 people, on 4 levels (it is a two story split level). IT IS THE HIGHEST HOMESITE in the Taos Valley, at 8,300 ft. elevation, commanding a 100 mile panoramic view of the Rio Grande Valley, the Pedernal in Abiquiu 72 miles away, and mind-blowing sunsets - from decks and balconies on 3 different levels. Nestled in the mature alpine forest, the back property line is the mountain wilderness. The drinking water is nature's best natural mountain well water, with no development above (ever!). Taos Pueblo Indian reservation land is adjacent to the property, so it is very quiet, and there is no light pollution. Being at the end, and top, of the road - you can't hear any traffic noise. You may use the garage for your primary vehicle, ONLY IF YOU HAVE 4WD (AWD) to get up the steep main driveway. There are several parking places available at the lower driveway. The house is super-insulated with Rastra block walls, Radiant Floor most comfy heat, Wood Stove Fireplace with a wide view, automatic insulated window shades, built-in whole house sound system, and a giant 72" TV with Netflix, ROKU, and Amazon Prime Video included. The internet is fiber optic high speed reliable. Good drinking and dining establishments are 2 miles away in the village of Arroyo Seco, or others just 10 minutes away on the highway into Taos. No pets, smoking tobacco, firearms, rent share, or sublets. First & last month rent, security deposit, all utilities included, even firewood. 208 EL SALTO REVIEW Winter/Spring 2022-2023, 5 stars "We rented Ike and Carole's home for the ski season Dec 2022 May 2023, and are excited to write a review so that prospective tenants know what a treat they are in for at 208 El Salto Road. The home is charming, well-appointed, and beautifully decorated. Both beds are extremely comfortable, and the pull-out couch is great for extra guests. The fireplace and provided firewood made for countless cozy evenings after watching the sun set in a fiery blaze over the hills and buttes of the Abiquiu area. It is clear that this house is a well-loved home and not just a normal rental; we feel honored and blessed to have had the privilege of living there. As for the area, it can't be beat! Easy access to skiing, hiking trails (including 2 hiking trails right in the neighborhood!), and everything else Taos has to offer. The little town of Arroyo Seco itself offers fine dining, cafes, a yoga studio, local shops, and even a small organic grocery store. The house does have a few quirks which, for us, only added to the charm. We learned the ins and outs of the custom hot tub, the snowblower, and took care to monitor the septic and propane systems. All easy to learn. Be advised that the dirt access road requires 4x4, and the driveway is steeper than steep. However, the additional parking pad is an easy alternative. We did not have any issues. As far as the landlord goes, we became good friends with Ike and Carole during our stay. While we are sad that we won't be able to return next winter, we are eager to come back someday. We hope this review persuades others to sign up for the same wonderful experience that we had. Enjoy!" ~ Emily & George P.S. I attended their wonderful wedding in Cleveland two years later! MTL ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED (including firewood). No pets, tobacco smoking, or firearms. Tenant must maintain the hot tub (if they wish to use it). Water plants, and pick up mail weekly. 6 MONTH RENTAL, November 12, 2025 - May 12, 2026. First month rent required to reserve. Last month's rent plus security deposit required upon occupancy. 4WD (AWD) is required to use main (super steep) driveway to single garage. Lower parking area outside available for tenants and guests.
