Tucked into the base of a mountain, surrounded by aspen and blue spruce trees, Toro is a luxurious, spacious 2,244 square foot, 3-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bath chalet that sleeps 6. Toro is a few yards from the the Rio Hondo which flows down from the Taos Ski Valley just 3.5 miles upstream. Toro reflects the unique character of Taos: hand-carved posts & corbels, hand-made outdoor sconces, tongue & groove white pine ceilings, hand-plastered walls, & either red oak, carpet, or ceramic tile flooring. The host is available by phone, text or email to answer questions. Casa de Toro is located on a small private spur of Ski Valley Rd/Hwy 150. It is a small quiet neighborhood. There are other homes on the spur. 4WD or a sturdy AWD drive vehicle is required during the winter months. The house is located on a small spur of Ski Valley Road/Highway 150 and is maintained and plowed. A covered parking area under the deck on the river side of the casa is large enough to protect 2 cars from the elements so you don't have to clean the snow off your car to go to the slopes after a winter snowstorm! Please note that there is no cell reception in this area of Taos Ski Valley. There is a land line with free long distance and dependable wifi so cell phones with wifi calling are fully functional. On the front side of the casa is another uncommon convenience: a winch.  This 400-pound capacity electric winch and its basket are great for lifting luggage, groceries, firewood, etc. from the third ground level parking area to the main living area. (A block and tackle pulley system is also available for easily lifting luggage from the front deck to the loft deck.)
