Secluded on in-town acreage with exquisite views, Touchstone Inn Spa, and Gallery is located on property adjacent to Taos Pueblo lands and is considered to be medicine land by the native peoples. This is the first private property touched by the Rio Pueblo exiting from the sacred Blue Lake high up in the mountains. Touchstone features an intimate setting for breakfasts in a vine covered gallery overlooking Taos Mountain. Guests experience cozy fireplaces, jacuzzi tubs, historic and romantic common areas, private patios, lush gardens with mature trees, fountains, a labyrinth, and lots of wildflowers. Parts of Touchstone are over 200 years old and have seen many famous characters visit over the years - Mabel Dodge, Tony Lujan, DH Lawrence, Lady Brett, Leopold Stokowski, Spud Johnson, Georgia O'Keeffe, Miriam Hapgood Dewitt, Leon Gaspard, Dora Kamenski, Woody Crumbo, and many others. Original artwork covers the walls and the decor is southwestern oriental eclectic - the artist owner's own style.
Touchstone can accommodate events and weddings up to 150 outdoors and 50 indoors. Ten room accommodations will house up to 27 people maximum double occupancy, and 16 singles. Touchstone Foundation 501C-3 has sponsored many events for all ages, from family reunions to National Geographic Photo Camp for local high school students. Spa rooms are onsite with independent therapists who offer beauty facials, massages, and wraps; swim pool accommodation is a short distance away at a nominal cost. Business seminars and workshops are a specialty at Touchstone - The perfect place for your event or personal getaway. |
