Dobson House

ust north of Taos lies some of the most amazing scenery in New Mexico. At Dobson House, you have it literally at your feet. While enjoying breakfast, you overlook the 400 foot deep Rio Grande Gorge above the Manby Hot Springs, where the old stage coach line crossed the river. The house is at 7,000 feet on a 100 foot hill looking west over the Rio Grande River. The common room has 270 degrees of windows, and you can watch ravens and hawks glide by and sail out over the gorge. Your hosts, Joan and John Dobson, planned the inn to pamper their guests.

Each suite is furnished in a comfortable southwestern style, with separate sleeping and sitting areas, and a private bathroom. All-cotton linens, down comforters, and down pillows are used. Dobson House has been crafted to be gentle to the environment. Designed by Michael Reynolds, known for his innovative use of recycled non-toxic materials and his spectacular adobe interiors, Dobson House offers you luxury and comfort in incredible scenery. The house is solar electric, with passive solar heating.

A full breakfast is served every morning. Complimentary beverages and appetizers are served in the late afternoon. Dinner is available, at an additional charge, upon request.

Dobson House is 13 miles due north of Taos -- due west of Mt. Wheeler and Taos Ski Valley. Whitewater rafters put in at the John Dunn Bridge, two miles north. On request, Paradise Balloons will take off from the Dobson's Hill. The river is stocked with trout if you like to fish.

The service, accommodations, and surroundings are all ready for you to enjoy. As you plan your trip to Taos, we invite you to make Dobson House your home.
