Historic Trading Post: 3BR, Hot Tub & Sauna

The Trading Post Family Cabin Step back in time in the original San Cristobal Trading Post, once the village store, post office, and gathering place where locals came for mail, groceries, and conversation. Today, this historic adobe and log home offers a unique setting for families and groups seeking a rustic New Mexico retreat. The cabin features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and an attached 500-square-foot log room ideal for gathering, relaxing, or creative pursuits. Original details, a wood stove, sun porch, and outdoor seating add to its historic charm. Located on the property manager’s 40-acre farm bordering the Columbine-Hondo Wilderness, guests enjoy access to gardens, orchards, farm animals, playgrounds, hammocks, walking trails, and seasonal eggs and vegetables. Surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Kit Carson National Forest, the property offers quiet, star-filled nights just 15 minutes from Taos and 20 miles from both Taos Ski Valley and Red River. Please note: The Trading Post gathering space is included for guests staying in the Family Cabin. Larger gatherings involving guests from other cabins are considered events and require prior approval, an event agreement, and additional event fees. Pet Policy We love dogs!
