“Great location that sits between the ski resort and Taos so it’s a great basecamp for accessing both. The sunrise and sunset views are gorgeous, making the three flights of stairs worth it. I worked during my stay and the WIFI was fast and reliable.”

“We especially loved the patio and ended up spending time out there every evening enjoying the surroundings. The hammock chairs inside were such a fun and cozy touch, and we also loved having the espresso machine for coffee in the mornings! All of the little details made the space feel extra special.”

“Tyler is very responsive and accommodating. The bed is super comfortable, the water pressure in the shower is excellent, and you can stargaze right from the balcony.”

Before you book

Things worth knowing first

All of this is on the Airbnb listing. Worth reading before you drive up.

  • Three flights of stairs. Sol is the top studio, which is why it has the views. No lift, and you carry your own bags up.
  • The road. The last stretch is dirt and climbs. All-wheel drive with snow tires handles it fine in winter; a front-wheel-drive car on all-seasons will struggle after a storm.
  • Shared front entry. The outer door is shared with two neighbouring studios. Your studio, balcony and bath are yours alone.
  • Cell service is limited. Save your door code, the wifi password and directions before you leave town. The wifi inside is fast enough to work on.
  • The hammocks. Hung from the vigas and movable with the step stool in the closet. Use them at your own risk.
  • Two guests, one car, no pets. No smoking or parties. No air conditioning, and at this elevation you will not want it.

Getting there

Fifteen minutes from the lifts, at the bottom of the canyon

Valdez sits where the road to Taos Ski Valley starts climbing. Close enough to be first on the mountain, far enough that the sky goes properly dark.

The canyon from above, with the condo building and Taos Ski Valley both marked.
