Adobe and Stars Bed and Breakfast Inn

ome see our starry skies! In March of 1996, Adobe and Stars opened its doors to guests seeking striking accommodations and a high level of Southwestern hospitality in a majestic setting. It is situated just outside of historic Taos and surrounded by the ancient Sangre de Christo mountains. A vast mesa rolls westward to the horizon. Spacious and contemporary, this luxurious new inn was designed especially with the views in mind. Big windows, decks, patios and an outdoor hot tub invite star gazing, sunset viewing and the pleasure of contemplation. Many traditional Pueblo style features have been included to create warmth and Southwestern ambiance. Such features include: high viga beamed ceilings, kiva fireplaces tucked in the corners of rooms, and outdoor portals to shade the strong sun.

The eight large guest rooms can only be described as luxurious. Owner Judy Salathiel has selected outstanding examples of hand-crafted Southwestern furniture and regional art. She sought quality and imaginative design and it shows. Each room has a kiva fireplace and a light-filled private bath with either Jacuzzi tub or a double shower. All rooms offer the warmth of radiant heat floors and large windows to let in the matchless expanse of sky and landscape. Upstairs rooms have the feel of a bedroom in an elegant home. Courtyard rooms provide private entrances and convenience to parking.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the location at the entrance to world famous Taos Ski Valley. The hiking, biking and horseback riding trails of the National Forest are right down the road. There are nearbystreams to fish, the Rio Grande river to raft, and golf a few miles away. Many fine restaurants are in the vicinity. The galleries, shops and museums of Taos are a short drive to town.

Days begin with fresh brewed coffee and a full country breakfast. Homemade muffins and biscuits, fresh fruit and juice and a hot entree with Southwestern touches can be enjoyed on the patio in the summertime or by the cheery dining room fireplace during ski season.
