Small Town Charm

Adobe & Pines Inn is centered around a historic adobe hacienda preserved with its original architectural elements and transformed into one of the most charming and luxurious hide-aways in the Southwest, according to The New York Times, Frommer's, Fodors, Weekends for Two in the Southwest, and many additional travel guides/reviews.

The Inn was named Top Ten Most Romantic B&B by American Historic Inns and Best of the Southwest by BedandBreakfast.com. Our Taos Inn has also been featured on HGTV and in Better Homes & Gardens in September and most recently featured in Edible magazine.

​Adobe & Pines Inn guests can relax while enjoying works of fine art by Taos artists, scenic country grounds and private patios for strolling and sitting, full gourmet breakfasts. Guests may also enjoy the Inn's DVD, book and CD music collections, and an eclectic array of games.

OUR STORY
​

The 80 foot long Grand Portal stretches the expanse of the main entry and is an inviting place
to sit and talk and enjoy the peaceful splendor of the Taos sunrise or sunset.

The most evident of the historic 1830 'preserved architectural elements' is the low overhang entrance to the grand portal and the short door to the lobby. The whispering of our stream (acequia) traversed by the old stone bridge is a delight.

Away from the busy sounds of the town, the stillness enfolds the old adobe in Winter, while brilliant flowers and gentle breezes greet you in the Spring.

Against the wondrous backdrop of the ever-changing color on Taos Mountain, enjoy our orchard with fruit trees and wild asparagus while breathing the fresh, clean air with the faint bouquet of pine and sweet grass. Settle down in our sun room in front of the wood burning stove, which overlooks the flagstone courtyard.

Read or nap in a hammock under a 100 foot pine tree for a moment or two, or find your own quiet spot to get away and slow down. We have lots of them.

After searching for a haven which embraced the beauty and magic of nature, we can share with you the Adobe and Pines Inn in Taos, a place we believe a wonderful discovery for your Taos romantic getaway.

As the fire leaps in the corner fireplace and shadows dance on the softly contoured adobe walls, it is more than the warmth of the fire that our guests feel. Laughter and happy voices fill the Inn.

​Surrounded by nature's beauty, there is a quality of relaxation and casual elegance.

History


Picture

​Adobe & Pines Inn in Taos, New Mexico, is centered around a
​preserved 1832 historic adobe hacienda.
​

Our Taos Inn is part of the Ranchos de Taos Plaza area, just four miles south of the center of Taos Plaza. There are six such plazas that make up "Taos"‚ a series of plazas that include Ranchos de Taos (just one-third mile from the Inn), La Loma, Talpa, Arroyo Seco and others -- all just a few miles apart around which the Spanish built their original dwellings and established their communities.

The earliest history of the Adobe & Pines Inn is that it was part of the Taos Pueblo's (Tiwa's) sacred hot springs area, which is now known as Llano Quemado (dry plain), and still has Hot Springs Road as its primary street up behind the Inn.

After the Spanish arrived in the area, the property on which the Inn sits ultimately became part of the King of Spain's land grant to Soldier Cristobal Dela Serna who acquired his lands South of the (Taos) Pueblo on April 8, 1710, when it was granted to him by Governor Jose Chacon Villasenor. Governor Juan Ignacio Flores Mogollon revalidated the grant to Cristobal Dela Serna June 15, 1715, for the soldier Serna had been unable to take formal possession and reside on the land as required because of Military Service.August 5, 1724, Juan and Sebastian Dela Serna, sons of Cristobal Dela Serna, sold the land to Diego Romero.
