Palace Of Miracles: Hot Tub, Lounge Spaces, +Casita, mtn views,5 courtyrds,6 FPs
According to legend, the Palacio was originally a stop on the Military Line of the Pony Express, then re-built as an Art Gallery. It is now Converted to a Getaway For Groups that want LOTS of elbow room in a sprawling 7000 square feet. The South Gallery is 34 feet long, the Main gallery even larger. There is the Palacio (main house), the Casita (guest house), Seven (7) fireplaces, and five(5) courtyards.
Send the kids to the North Gallery / Bunk Room and they will be in a world of their own, all the way across the Main Gallery. The Master Bedroom has its own fireplace and lounge, which is larger than most living rooms at 20 x 20.
The Dining Room has its own fireplace for cozy meals, or just to gather. The Pantry can handle meal preparation for large groups, and serves out to the Dining room. The eat-in Kitchen has room to serve an informal meal and its own fireplace.
The optional Casita/Guest House has its own bathroom, kitchenette, fireplace, living, study and bedroom, available as an add-on option at an extra charge. It is separately entered across the inner courtyard from the main house.
There is no other house like it in Taos. The Palacio is conveniently located near Arroyo Seco on the paved and plowed Ski Valley Road. Beds, futons and couches sleep 20 or more. With the optional Casita, a total of 5 bedrooms and 6 baths will accommodate a large party; the guest house alone is sufficient for a small family or couple.
ABOUT PETS-- We are making the Palacio open to pets, but pet owners must be responsible. Pets are allowed in designated areas and are NOT ALLOWED on furniture, rugs or carpets. The pet fee is $300, but $250 will be refunded if the housekeeper confirms there are no pet damage or pet hairs left behind.
NOTE: The Palacio is mostly located on one ground floor, but includes numerous "changes of level" (also known as "steps") when passing from room to room. Please be alert and aware, and step up or down when passing a change of level. See, for example, the photo of the Foyer, which looks out over the Main Gallery below.

The layout and space was great for multiple parties. We loved exploring the house and all it had to offer. The host is very helpful and relaxed (no long lists of what not to do).
The house was wonderful! The yard was much larger than expected and managed our pups well. The casita was a nice add-on (yes, you pay extra for the kind bed, queen and bunks in that space so be aware on the Vrbo listing). The main gallery could use some lighting and furniture updates, but it's a massive space which is so appreciated! Linc was attentive during our stay.
Had a great stay! Very spacious and worked well for 14 adults.
Had a great stay! Very spacious and worked well for 14 adults. Contact was helpful and Friendly. I will absolutely look at this place again when I plan my next trip to Taos
Had a very good stay while on our ski trip, This home had lots of room to spread out with our large group, it was perfect. Only 15 min drive to Taos Ski Valley made it perfect!
The property is in a convenient location to explore the mountain or town. Relaxing patios to enjoy the views and a wonderful kitchen to share a meal with friends. The children loved the spacious living rooms.
Our stay was everything we hoped for and more. The home was very well equipped with anything we could need and very clean. Great location close to everything but once in the compound walls you felt like you were hidden away. We plan to be back again.
The Palacio has so much character and was a joy to stay in! We appreciated the all the games and activities, and the kitchen was well stocked for us to cook for our large group. We would definitely come back!
Absolutely loved the house! Plenty of space for our group and loved the uniqueness of the home. It is great for a big group. We also loved all of the board game options
Excellent stay for my big family. We were able to hit 3 mountains ( Red River, Taos, and Sipapu) with minimal driving. Tons of room. The ping pong table was a blast. Very clean and was described perfect. Highly recommend.
Lincoln was very helpful and accommodating. Space was great. Location was fabulous. Well-kept building and grounds. Lots of parking. There were a few negatives: many of the towels hanging in the bathrooms and several kitchen items were not clean.
The Place is amazing. Space for all of us to stay together. The kids were always entertained with indoor and outdoor games and their own "bunkhouse." The adults had spaces to sit and visit in small spaces as well as have our family group event. The kitchen had everything we needed as well as a great BBQ space. Communication with owner was super. Couldn't be better!
This place had all the space and comfort we needed for a family vacation. Very clean. Communication with the property manager was great. Would enjoy staying here again.
Beautiful home with fascinating history. Our family had a great time with room for all 18 of us! Lincoln was very kind and responsive and much appreciated!
There is so much room in this place! We had a very large group and it never felt cramped. The TV in the main room is large and the cable includes tons of sports channels. The drive to Taos Ski Valley was easy and the location right off the highway was great. The host was great about getting us all the info including a map of the property! The kitchen is large enough for cooking large meals. If you're looking for a large space in the Taos area this is the spot.
Such a lovely stay. Plenty of room close to the ski hill, and town. Quiet enough to have a baby sleeping, while everyone else plays games, cooks, or watches movies. Even had some people reading with no distractions. Felt like home away from home.
We chose this property to stay with our HS tennis team during a three week tournament at Quail Ridge. The location was ideal (only 3 min from the courts) and the property was perfect for our group. We had a total of 13 teenagers and 2 adults staying at the property. Not only did everyone get their own bed but the entertainment features (board games, ping pong, karaoke, hot tub) kept the kids entertained without looking at their phones! Great job Lincoln!
Linc is the nicest person and a wonderful host. He is so accommodating and communicative.
The house is quite an architectural wonder. It's enormous with comfortable spaces for whatever you feel like doing, both inside and outside.
Best of all is the magnificent view from the front.
We have been coming to the Taos ski valley for years and were so impressed by the Palace of Miracles. It not only had everything we needed (and more) for our two families, it had so much character and charm and extra amenities that we weren't anticipating. In addition to all the spaciousness, the beds and couches were all very comfortable. There were also lots of games and entertainment including ping pong and karaoke. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to booking the palace of miracles again in the future. The property owner, Lincoln, was also very responsive and easy to communicate with.
We had a group of guys in NM for a 3 day golf trip. This property provides plenty of space and the yard was great for cornhole in the afternoons! We where able to cook our own dinners and watch football on the TV at night. Overall a great property for a larger group with plenty of space! Thank you
We utilize the complete property and found it was very roomy and comfortable except the kitchen was small for more than three people. We ran out of refrigerator space
and from my understanding the adults that slept in the bunkbeds felt the mattress were too thin and uncomfortable. We had a wonderful time and loved the outdoor space to sit and relax. Overall it was very good.
