LITTLE TREE BED AND BREAKFAST OF TAOS

A TAOS NEW MEXICO BED AND BREAKFAST
  
Come discover our quiet and tranquil Taos getaway. Rediscover life in a romantic adobe hacienda while soaking up sweeping 360* views, lush gardens, glorious sunsets and a night's sky laden with stars. Located on the northern side of Taos, just a quick drive to town or the ski slopes, make The Little Tree your home base to explore everything that is... New Mexico.  

The Little Tree is a charming and intimate four room bed and breakfast. Built with real adobe mud bricks and mortar in 1990, you will have all the benefits of modern construction while still in an authentic adobe hacienda that is re-mudded every year! The center garden courtyard's portal, with comfortable rocking chairs and benches, provides the perfect place to take in our vast 360* views. Light years from reality, our rural setting allows the quiet to seep into your bones.

The Taos News, "Recharge your batteries at The Little Tree",
September 3-9, 2009. When you curl up for an afternoon nap at the Little Tree Bed and Breakfast, it’s to the ethereal drone of the hummingbirds and the rustling of the apple tree leaves. They contribute to an entire atmosphere that invites you to slow down, tune in and rejuvenate. The inn enjoys breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. It’s about equidistant from the Town of Taos and Taos Ski Valley and has no roadside sign, in the hopes of maintaining its relative under-the-radar status. The inn’s buildings are all adobe, including exteriors of mud-and-straw plaster rarely found in modern buildings. It allows the adobe bricks to “breathe” and creates a feeling of connection with the elements even while inside. Sculptural details, like nichos and windows between rooms, help create a sense of sanctity. All four guest rooms have private baths, plush queen-sized beds, unique décor and private entrances. "Our guests can be as private or as social as they want,” explains Maggie. “People that are drawn here though, tend to be on a deeper journey, whether they’re traveling solo, or as a couple or with a friend.” Ritz-Carlton escapees, The Johnston's have run the inn for the last 10 years and have worked in hospitality their entire adult lives. For them, serving people is about much more than making a living. They see it as their life mission. Despite all the elegance, the atmosphere is anything but stuffy. “It’s beautiful to see folks show up to breakfast in their bathrobes,” says Maggie. “There’s no greater feeling than a guest feeling at home.” 

Frommer's American Southwest 2008 and Frommer's 2007 Guide to Santa Fe, Taos and Albuquerque - A Frommer's Find. "Little Tree is one of my favorite Taos bed-and-breakfasts, partly because it's located in a beautiful, secluded setting, and partly because it's constructed with real adobe that's been left in its raw state, lending the place an authentic hacienda feel.  Visiting hummingbirds enchant guests as they enjoy a scrumptious breakfast on the portal." 

The Little Tree Bed & Breakfast is also recommended in current editions of Great Destinations: The Santa Fe & Taos Book by Sharon Niederman and Moon Handbooks: Santa Fe, Taos and Albuquerque by Zora O'Neill and Fodor's Travel Guide: Santa Fe, Taos & Albuquerque.

From Our Guest Book:
   
Maggie & Gordon ~ 
   
     Henri Nouwen, a Dutch-born Catholic Priest, who wrote several modern classics on spirituality, gave a definition of Hospitality. He said that hospitality is the practice of making space so that guests have room to truly be themselves. To heal. To grow. 
   
    You two are the Definition of Hospitality. You make space, physically & spiritually. You feed us well ~ with healthy & delicious food ~ with the beauty of the space, indoors and outdoors ~ with sparkling and informative conversation ~ with a depth of spirit. 
    
     We want to add this: 
You two complement each other ~ making a kind of hospitality synergy. Thank you for being you!

Who are we? Meet Gordon and Maggie Johnston.  We look forward to welcoming you to our country home and sharing hands-on knowledge of Taos and Northern New Mexico with you. Whether it's tips on hiking, skiing, Taos Pueblo, local artists, shopping, restaurants, or real estate agents, or just leaving you alone to find your own way, we will do our best to ensure that your visit will be all that you hope it will be.  We invite you to come fill your heart with an experience of comfortable luxury that allows you to create a vacation that soothes your soul.

A Note on our Location: Please use the directions listed on this website. A number of websites, map engines and guidebooks map us incorrectly on Hwy 64 to Angel Fire. In addition, Trip Advisor lists us in "Arroyo Hondo" rather than "Taos". Arroyo Hondo is our zip code for postal service. 

To put Taos in perspective, The Little Tree is located on the north side of Taos ~ 15 minutes north of Taos Plaza, 5 minutes west of the village of Arroyo Seco (at the base of Taos Mountain ) and 20 minutes from Taos Ski Valley. Ranchos de Taos is 15 minutes south of Taos Plaza. Taos Plaza is the town center. Between town and the outer areas of Taos (where we are), you will find rural farming & ranching homesteads, residential homes and small business clusters. Guests desiring quiet lodging or panoramic scenic views generally prefer staying away from the town center. Here is a good map that puts Taos B&B's in perspective.
