Artfully designed by fashion designer Raquel Allergra, the 8,000-square-foot space sits on five biodynamically maintained acres flanked by moving water on both edges, with ponds and small waterfalls throughout. The interiors are anchored by signature New Mexican architectural features such as arched windows, white plaster walls, high ceilings, and kiva fireplaces, while the furnishings are design-forward yet restrained, allowing the home’s bones to really sing.
With six bedrooms, it’s definitely an expansive enough space for a girls getaway or creative group retreat—one Vogue writer recently booked it for an off-the-beaten-path bachelorette. The grounds run wild with deer, fox, hawks, hummingbirds, and the occasional brown bear. And with no cell service, it’s very much your chance to completely unplug.
Rooms: 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms
Amenities: Radiant heating, wood-burning kiva fireplaces, furnished porch, WiFi, garden views
Location: Taos Ski Valley, Taos, New Mexico

This listing has been high up on our Airbnb wishlist for years. Located in Abiquiu, not too far from O’Keeffe’s famed Ghost Ranch, this adobe sits squarely in the middle of 10 shared acres in the high desert landscape that drew O’Keeffe (and generations of artists and photographers after her) in.
This recently renovated home is a quiet base for exploring one of New Mexico’s most creatively charged regions. The traditional architecture is intact with thick walls, desert light, wood beams, stone fireplaces, and classic New Mexican tile floors. The interiors are peppered with both man-made and natural relics, like a Noguchi-style hanging paper lantern or a sculptural tumbleweed hanging from the ceiling. It’s the kind of place O’Keeffe herself might have booked.
Rooms: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath
Amenities: Full kitchen, washer/dryer, mini-split AC and heating throughout, mountain views, dedicated workspace, WiFi
Location: Abiquiu, New Mexico
