At the foot of the mountain, Arroyo Seco, is where old Taos, cool Taos, farm Taos, beautiful Taos, art Taos, and hip Taos converge on the way to swim Taos, hike Taos and ski Taos. This magnificent Taos crossroads village is a destination unto itself, featuring the SnowMansion EcoAdventure Lodge & Hostel and an array of great breakfast, lunch and dinner choices, an ice cream parlor, a health food store, gardens, pottery shops, art galleries and nightlife just steps away - all bookended by Taos sunsets and Taos Mountain veiws.

Our village started welcoming farmers, ranchers, gamblers, outlaws and adventurers in 1810. The Chase Mercantile, which preceded the SnowMansion was built in 1930 and supplied, clothed and fed said farmers, ranchers, gamblers, outlaws and adventurers until 1960. In 1960 it became an episcopal church ski lodge for faithful and adventuresome skiers. In 1973 the SnowMansion was born and has welcomed Taos visitors of all kinds - individuals, couples, families and groups - all year around ever since.
We look forward to welcoming you.
