The Dobson House--Famous Taos Earthship Two beautiful bedroom suites are available in this magnificent 6,500-square-foot earthship. (See photos.) The second suite is automatically added for parties of 3-4. No matter the size, your guest party is the only one enjoying the house. Should your party of 2 want both suites, book for 3. The house sits high on a hill overlooking the majestic Rio Grande Gorge and is ringed by mountains. The two private suites occupy the entire lower level of the house which connects to the 300-degree-view living room and gourmet commercial kitchen via a grand underground staircase. Each adobe and Mexican-tiled suite has gorgeous views, a private patio, queen bed, sitting area, bathroom, mini fridge, microwave, and coffee and tea service. Access to wii-fi is in the lounge between suites, on the grand staircase, and in the living room and kitchen. Cook meals with upscale cookware and enjoy dining with magnificent views. Hike, bike, or snowshoe beautiful trails along the rim of the gorge right out your front door. A 10-minute hike from the house will bring you to breathtaking views of the canyon and Rio Grande 800-feet below. Mineral-rich hot springs and the John Dunn Bridge are a hike away. Gorgeous sunsets and starry skies await. This massive 6,500- square-foot earthship, exquisitely built for your privacy and connection with nature, requires a caretaker and my sweet dog, Ruby, and I have private quarters on premises to ensure your experience is fabulous. Wonderfully set off the beaten path, in inclement weather, vehicles with AWD or 4WD and good clearance are necessary.
